I dropped my iPod in the locker room after Swim Team Practice yesterday. It fell from the top locker. (About five feet)

I have the VERY THIN new 4G. It landed on hard tile flooring on it's back. I was freaking out, I've only had this thing since Christmas!!

I picked it up and looked at it. What I thought was a series of cracks was a handprint, what I thought was a scratch was a piece of dust.

I was so RELIEVED. Everything works fine, and I had a case on it.

This is my case, it works REALLY WELL.

Nice that the case protected it. Not so amazing. :rolleyes: Try dropping it from the roof of the swim building if you can, then report back. :eek: :D

5 foot drop survival is definitely not an amazing story.

You would think so if you saw my case, it's a flimsy peice of silicone.

My Son-in-Law was an Army ranger and he dropped his older Ipod from a helicopter from over 150 feet. They found it later and it still worked :cool: He even has a dent in it to prove it.
