I dropped mine in the bog in America. It landed on the corner (normally fatal), bounced up

almost a foot and hit the toilet wall, bounced off that onto the door and then crash landed face down on the tiled floor.

Not a scratch and that with nothing more than a 10 euro silicon protector from MediaMarkt.

Although I suspect I may have been lucky as f**k. All the bouncing around seemed to take about 20 minutes with me slow-mo exclaiming "Nooooooooooo".
