I dropped mine this morning and must say that the sprint case with kick stand did it's job well. It took the impact and saved my phone just a real minor scuff at the bottom is all.
I dropped mine from the cab of my semi truck yesterday, a good 4 ft!! Slipped off my lap, bounced out the door, hit the outside step then thankfully landed face up! Battery cover flew off but the battery stayed in. I don't have a case on it & it only got a very small scuff on the side that's barely visible.
