Number Of Times You Dropped Your iPhone!

The 2G's durability stuns me. I haven't got any stories of my own, but a friend of mine treats his HORRIBLY, and it's still working. The guy used to throw the thing when he was angry, or just screwing around, and last I heard, it was still working after a drop into a toilet!
My 3 year old has THROWN my iPhone across the room more than a few times - and we have nothing but hardwood floors in the house 
Luckily the case and screen protector are doing their job.
I generally just keep it out of his reach, but he has somehow become addicted to Koi Pond...

either two or three times...Thank god it was in my rubber incase case! The last time I dropped it(yesterday on the garage floor) it barely even made a noise, I think my rubber case really cushioned the fall!
dropping the iPhone succckkkkkkkk. happened with my last iphone a couple times only. Ever since I got the replacement....... hasn't happened yet.
3 times...all on the same day....all onto concrete.....all during a rain/hail storm....all w/out a case......all really annoying.....iPhone is all fine NO DAMAGE YAY!!!!....
I used to have this rubber casing on mine and before that it had nothing. In total I have dropped my phone at least 10+ times and the majority of the falls on concrete/cement and have walked away with only a small nick in the top corner by the earphone jack which is now covered by a griffin blue wave case
Unless I purposely remember the nick I forget it's there.

10x + !!! OMG! You need help man!!!
I stopped counting long ago. Does that make me an elitist klutz? Phone is fine but has good case!
If you beat Acronym, then your the Master of Klutz around here.
i drop mine about 15 to 20 times at least
it doesnt has a single scratch, its used ok
is a lovely phone , but very very resistent
i avoid to use it in my pocket with coins and keys , but still when i forget , he has no damage at all.
one thing that i really avoid is put the iphone in contact with the credit card , because it desmagnetixe the card

I dropped my 3G (with an Agent18 case) three times so far, no damage at all.
My partner, on the other hand, has dropped his black 3G at least 3 dozen times that I've witnessed. Once he was getting out of the car on a rainy day and it fell into a dirty puddle of water! Amazingly, his iPhone still works today.
Also guys, it's not a good idea to be on the iPhone one-handed while peeing. Another friend of mine was doing this and dropped his iPhone into the toilet - twice! His phone still works, too. Although there is NO WAY I will ever touch his phone knowing where's it been.

There is something to be said for zero population growth. edit: have dropped mine more than five times. As careful as some of us are, accidents happen and some of us are just plain clutzy. I won't even begin to tell you the number of times I bruise myself from banging an elbow or shin on something.

Okay the only way I can think of that iPhone not getting waterlogged is the toilet water had some thickening elements in it. I hate to think what that would be.. yuck!!
hey most times when it would hit the ground I would hve slapped towards it from trying to catch it from flling that's how the nick on the corner came to be, I was trying to catch it and I ended up hitting it with the back of my hand.10x + !!! OMG! You need help man!!!
The corner hit the curb and it nicked needless to say I said a few choice words
