My limited experience with the meter does not leave me impressed, but I would not dismiss it solely based on a single instance of a cracked screen.
I think the dismissal of the meter is more because Sekonic, at least initially, wasn't going to reapir it under warranty. If the meter is simply in a camera bag and a body/lens/flash/whatever, can hit the screen and break the LCD behind that glass and then not have Sekonic repair it shows amazingly bad judgement on Sekonic's part. I wouldn't buy one based on what I have heard, there are other options available.
If the screen came in direct contact with a lens or body or anything else, I would EXPECT it to break. If such was the case, I would most definitely side with Sekonic's decision to not repair it. If it was in its own case, segregated from heavier items and still broke, then there may be some merit for concern. However, LCD screens don't just crack on their own. Or perhaps as time goes by, we will here more cases of this, and find there really is an issue.
