Don't let it get wet. I store my electronics in a zip lock when not in use.
No moving parts you are correct. But as you stated the tablet needs to be protected due to it's fairly fragile screen. So durability is an issue. But it can be somewhat resolved. But to my point if it is packed away safely then it won't be of much good turn by turn. But used with paper maps or another GPS it is an excellent tool.
