Take care of your hardware
As all electronic equipment, e-readers are sensitive. Especially the e-paper
screen can be damaged when pressure is exerted (if the e-reader falls, if
sharp or heavy objects touch the screen etcetera).
Therefor we recommend using protective covers. These provide
protection and also give your e-reader a stylish look of your choice. The
best choice for the Illumina is the PerfectFit series by ICARUS. These
covers contain a plastic shell that not only seamlessly holds the e-reader,
it also offers extra protection for the back of the e-reader.
Be careful when using hand cream or sunscreen that contains alcohol; it
can damage the lacquering of the housing. Also be careful in
environments with sand. It can get into the device and damage internal
components and also it can scratch the screen.
