Got the small Kindle for xmas. Looking forward to using it on my commute.
Not sure how tough the screen is, so does it need a case or screen protector?
Thanks

Don't think it necessarily needs it, but the cover the missus has for hers makes it feel more book-like.
She loves it.

Never used one with mine, when I broke it, Amazon replaced it for free!
Breakage was due to coming off bike and landing on bag, laptop got a wee crack in it the same day.

I've got a screen projector so I dont have to be overly careful with it because I cant cope with ANY scratches on screens.
Also, dirt cheap cases on 7dayshop

I've always used one, mainly to prevent anything sharp scratching up the screen. The e-ink display is very robust though - no glass to break.
I used a very cheap neoprene sleeve for about a year (available from lots of far-eastern ebay sellers), then picked up an official case in the amazon sale - they're expensive but very nice to use.

I don't think that you need one but my partner likes the book feel that a folio type cover gives (rather than a pouch type) and an extra bit of protection has to be good. Some of them are silly expensive (I've even seen one at £50!!) but she got a really nice leather one from Tesco for about £15.

I went with one of the Amazon covers but it was more for the built in light than anything else.

Mine lives in my pockets most of the time and is fine. I just remember not to put it in the same pocket as keys etc like I do with my phone. No scratches in nearly a year.

I just got one yesterday, not much experience with it yet but my hope is that it improves the grip. My cover is the model with "finger strap" on the back.

Got a skin from poundland but then Mrs B made me a cover for Christmas:-)

I wouldn't want to carry my Kindle around without a case/cover! You know what women's handbags are like
I got a lovely furry Timbuk2 pouch for my Kindle!

A Jiffy bag makes a great Kindle case !

I got one of the dodocase cases as it makes it more book-like. I'm fairly certain it's only for the pose value though..... Not convinced it would 'need' anything more than a screen protector as they seem pretty robust. If you want something to make it look pretty then there are loads of options with http://www.etsy.com being a good place to start... (search for kindle cover)
