As careful as I am, I dropped mine down 4 cement stairs yesterday. Other than a few nicks, it's fine. Whew! No complaints about build quality here. {ProfJonathan}

Man, I dropped her thrice last night because she is soooo small! I keep her naked...no screen protector, case or anything. She just goes in a pocket. Its just tough to handle her with my big hands sometimes.

On a related note my gf thinks I'm obsessed with this phone. I don't take it out of the car when I go to the beach or softball games. I find myself commenting repeatedly on that now that I have a phone that does everything there are many times when I'd use my normally trashed and scratched cell phone to make and receive calls but now I'm phoneless due to my extreme caution.

I actually had a nightmare about the "Oreo" twist......

the Pre is my first smart phone so I take SUCH good care of it. I think I would cry if anything happened to it. I just want it to stay perfect.

I'm very careful with mine. It's my precious.

Rocketfish hard case it snaps on & the Pre fits perfectly in the leather pouch with it on, IN fact, with teh hard case on the Pre , the pre will Not slip out of the leather pouch so easily as it could before

Guess I'm one of the few "less careful" people. I have an InvisibleShield on mine and I don't really worry about my phone. I've dropped it onto tile and hardwood floors plenty of times. It's the concrete I'm worried about.

The phone isn't that fragile. Palm did make the Treos, most of which are rock solid.

Invisible shield, TS back, neoprene case w/ a hard screen shield, and a foam-and-rubber lined mini-Pelican box for the truly rough stuff.

Yet I almost voted "Same" compared to my 700p - because prior to that I trashed a long line of less useful phones and I really don't want to go through that hassle again...
