My CA at work dropped hers from her pocket last week onto a vinyl floor.........now she is in need of a new screen or has to claim on the insurance.

So get a case!  :y

Had the cases here before the phone turned up  ;D. Been there and done that, so fragile!

Quite a few reports of build issues with the 5's, I dropped my Android other day, smashed screen  ::)

Now back on a iPhone 4, luckily it has iOS 5. Keeping this one, don't want OS6  :)

My poor gayPhone still survives, despite a missing chunk that I'm sure is through the screen protector into the glass. Not brave enough to remove screen protector in case thats whats giving it strength ::)

Had Mrs TB's in bits the other day to replace the battery. I would say, of all the mobiles I've had apart to fix, this was the best engineered (from a servicing point of view)

Always have mine in a case. I've lost count of how many times I've dropped my HTC Desire, but it includes one occassion whilst walking across a car park, where not only did it hit the deck, but I also managed to catch it with my foot as I walked and punted it across the tarmac. No cracked screen or any issues at all. 
A case is a must for any Smart phone.  :y

Thats the only advantage of my Motorola defy, drop it down stairs and it still works, even let it sit in a pint of lager for a few minitues for a bet and it was fine  ;)
