You must of had a good one, I remember back when a lot of people had iphones in our office, about half of them was walking around with cracked screens. Not sure anyone is over 6ft in our office.

You were "walking on a wall and lost your phone"? I don't get it... and what does this have to do with stability?

I'm still waiting to get an answer to the deceleration trauma question. I guess I don't understand how people treat phones. Who would risk having their phones in such precarious positions ON PURPOSE? Among the features I like in the 1020 is that it has a wrist lanyard. I just can't see hanging my phone over a precipice, say during my recent trip to the Grand Canyon to snap pictures without one. But some people do really questionable things with these smart phones and when it breaks always blame the phone.

You do not know how many fellow students I have seen with busted iPhone and iPod displays
A some are minor, others, you see the guts...

I've dropped my 920 and my wife has dropped her 820. Neither has suffered. They didn't drop 6-7 feet but around 3-4 feet. Saying that I believe it they hit the wrong way they'd have either cracked screens or other damage. It really comes down to how it lands. Once flex displays come along we'll see less cracking of the screen but internals are still sensitive. Unless the device is designed with full shock absorption it's likely it will still get damage of some sort. Nothing is full proof. There's always an element of risk in design.
