Default Official I dropped my Pre thread

Anyone dropped their Pre yet? Curious of what happened when you dropped it. Did it break?

Sprint rep dropped mine on his keyboard when he was trying to open the back cover.

from what I saw, no one was even allowed to open their boxes.. (but sprint always used to do that).. I remember when the apple phone (shh.. I won't mention the name) came out people would be opening the box up and CRASH it fell out.. I still chuckle at that video

I was afraid that the Rep was going to break mine. He struggled to get the back off. Then he was fighting to get the battery out. Finally he sent me to play with a Demo, probably so I wouldn't have to deal with watching him.

I dropped mine when I got home this morning. Had it on my lap in the car, forgot it was there - and stepped out into my garage... I heard something hit the floor and I knew exactly what it was! Luckily, no damage to the screen, because I kept it in the holder it came with (suede pouch), but now there's a tiny crack on the top lip just past the screen - damnit!!!!

Mine flew out of my hand already when I was trying to slide it open with one hand. Slippery little *******.

My Sprint rep dropped it like 3 inches onto the counter too, and I was ****ed as well, but checked it out before leaving and not a mark on it.

Why didn't you just refuse to take that one?
