I have a unique perspective on this...my first WP7 device was an HD7. I dropped it from roughly shoulder height. It had significant damage to the metal housing, but no screen damage. I bought it from Amazon and decided to replace it with a Focus S since it has "4G" and a faster processor. About a week after getting the S...yep, I dropped it. This time it fell out of a hoodie pocket from waist height onto concrete. Total shatter to the Gorilla Glass on the bottom half of the screen and significant scratching of the housing. While the angle of the strike could have played a part, the Sammie fared much worse in my unofficial and unintentional drop test. My replacement S arrived today...while I love the phone and have no real qualms about it's design/materials, a Case Mate protective case is in the mail right behind it. Lesson learned, the hard way.
