If so how do you protect it?

One of those book style cases and a drybag?

Hard case?

Mine's a keyboard one and I've been thinking about how to protect it on tour this summer.

Cheers

That's exactly the kind of thing I was thinking about.

Ordered! This is costing me money, bought a rack on STW recommendations this week too.

Don't think you'll be disappointed - that link for the case was for the non keyboard model that i have...Hope you spotted that??

It's a spot on set up for the summer tours in British weather!

I managed to break a screen on my Kindle commuting, it was sat at the top of my carradice saddlebag so it would be worth investing in a decent case.

Luckily Amazon replaced it ( they did ask if I had dropped it which I hadn't ) free of charge - very good customer service!
