Don't be shy, who here has already dropped their G1???

I haven't dropped it but inevitably will. I'm being extra careful until I get the InvisibleSHIELD. It'll be the first InvisShield I ever try so we'll see how it does. N3TWORK BURN3R did a review and said it protects it very well, but doesn't look that great and gives the screen a rubbery feel so we'll see.

Maybe I'll just get a screen protector. Who knows.

Actually dropped it once (while in the case) AND the other day I had it in the hollow of the door panel (door pull). I had just left the house and was waiting at the top of the street. Went to pull out onto the main drag and got the front end creamed by a Dodge Van. Once I got my chit together I went looking for the phone. Wasn't where I put it. It ended up down below there in the storage pocket. I'm figuring it bounced off the dash and back down there. And yes, it still works great and no scratches out of that ordeal either. Can't say the same for the car though. TOTALLED!!

Luckily there isn't any cosmetic damage on mine either. But the creaking noise I started noticing might have been the effect of the drops.

But so far, impressed how the phone has held up

this drunk chick accidentally knocked it out of my hand, and the top right corner got a bad gouge in it. i got home and took the dremmel out to smooth it out. grrr... i hate drunk chicks.

on the creaky thing...I and a few others have noticed it as well. The creaky noise seems to typically be coming from the little tab above the power button between where the bottom portion of the phone and the screen meet up. I took a razor blade to it and shaved it away, and now it's not creaky anymore.

I guess I should submit my "horror" story. Sooo last week I was goin to put the fone in the case and it fell face first on a stone floor. I picked it up to find my whole screen shattered. I had to call asurion {smh} to get a replacement only to find the fone was on backorder but I called them bak 2 days ago and they had my fone so now after payin 130 I got my fresh new fone...ill be sure to be xtra careful wit this 1
