OK, I havn't dropped mine, nor have I come close to it. I've always had crappy phones that I don't care about. This being my first phone purchase that I've actually researched and put effort into. That being said, now that I have the phone I don't take it to many places. I love this phone, so for fear of dropping it, it basically stays home most of the time. I need a case so I can actually use it. On a side note, if you don't use it that much, you have no problem with battery life!
