Interesting I have had the exact opposite experience with my leaf 2. I’ve had it for almost 3 years now, never in a case, just drop it in my bag loose with everything else. Not a scratch on the screen at all and it just works. But yeah, since I’ve had literally zero issues I cannot speak to the quality of customer service, I haven’t needed them.

Two different models, both in cases, both screens broken, one within days of receiving it. Very disappointing.
Granted, I torture my devices. I read in bed and almost every morning I find the ereader has fallen on the floor at some point during the night. It takes a pretty beastly device to withstand the abuse I put it through, and my Kobo does that without breaking a sweat. That’s why I recommend them.

I built a 3D printed ereader stand that has a RAM mount ball on the other side.
Right now it’s sitting atop a manfrotto monopod between my bed and side table. Eventually want to mount it on the wall, but the monopod has worked well enough I don’t see too much need to change things up.
With a cheap Bluetooth tiktok ring remote bought online, I’ve had a very enjoyable reading experience in bed, and if I drift off there’s no worry about the device
