Just dropped my Droid...

[OyVOid]

It happened to me, just pulling it out of my pocket. I'm usually sooooooooo careful. I had a Nokia N95 for a year that never touched the ground, but the Droid dropped.

The Droid dropped.

The Droid dropped.

It fell from about 3 feet high, hit on the upper corner of the screen, bounced, did a cartwheel, and landed on it's back... all in super-s-l-o-w motion.

In that instant, the world stopped spinning. There was no sound. Nothing else existed.

All in the blink of an eye.

Result: not a scratch... but dayummmmmmmmmm!!!

It's built like a hybrid Rolls Royce/Tank, but still, gotta be careful!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, spot on! You described so well. Split second heart wrenching freak out the first time it happens. I never dropped it from my car but I have dropped it from my desktop at work 4 times now. The first time, I turned around and elbowed and it went flying. OMFG! I would never ever say to anyone that it is just a phone and I don't want to hear anyway to say it to me. The Droid is much more that. :0

I've dropped mine while getting out of a car...when it was in my lap and I forgot about it...

Talk about your heart drop

As a result, mine has a few scratches around the screen on the front

I've dropped mine a few times now, on hardwood floors from a few feet up.. The trim around the volume rocker is loose, and there is a scratch on the bezel, but the screen is 100%..
I've got a Seidio case on it now, which hides the loose trim. I would keep the Droid naked, but the loose trim bothers the crap out of me.

This Tuesday, at the bar, completely trashed knowing that classes where canceled for Wednesday, I completely threw- not dropped- my naked droid damn-near across the entire bar trying to get it out of my pocket...

...one small nick about an inch away from the top on the left-front side... I can see the white plastic beneath...

wow. Just wow, I thought to myself the next morning- knowing how I totally drunk-abused my phone...

I love this phone... Now I just have to see if it has theft deterrent hardware installed too...
