Same here. I just dropped mine from about 3-4 feet onto stone. It landed on the corner of the bumper. The bumper took a beating, but the phone is fine.
Dropped my 2G - Scuffed up one corner. No biggie. Went naked with this one the whole year. The 2G was built like a brick **** house!
Never dropped the 3G - InCase Slider
Dropped the 3GS on the kitchen tile and the screen went white. 6 weeks old and Apple replaced no questions asked. - InCase Slider
iP4 got day one. No drops yet. In a Frogz case until I find a case to my liking.
Anyone else see a pattern here? LOL!!!

Just got my iPhone 4 yesterday. No drops yet, but I have my screen protector, and leather Belkin case on, just in case I do drop it.

I've dropped it three times, twice on concrete (I work in a barn) and once on grass. Both of the concrete falls ended up with slight dings only noticeable if you are looking for them or feel them. When it fell in the grass it was fine.
I have ordered a free bumper and I am waiting for an Otterbox. I am not as careful with the phone as I should be.

No drops so far.
For majority of my previous phones, I did drop it. The most common way for me to drop it is putting it on my lap when driving and then getting out of the car while forgetting it is there. Happened multiple times.
Now that I live in the hands-free law era, I don't usually answer my phone while driving anymore. Only with the headphones on. And I have a holster which securely keeps it from dropping out of my pocket.
But this is an iPhone model that seems to be begging for a case and not just for the antenna issue. It is one slippery, little bugger. I can't wait for my FREE case to come in the mail. Only five more weeks to go!
