I would be interested in seeing corner drops. Seems like a more likely scenario based on how people would probably carry a tablet. Face down seems like a worst case scenario (although probably results in the most damage, and therefore is best to sell their warranties).

Im going to fess up and admit I have dropped my Xoom twice now. The first time it was in a soft zip-up case cradled in my arm while I got out of my car. It flipped over my arm and landed on the corner, at a 45 degree angle, glass side more up than down. It left a flat spot on the corner and thats it. The second time, it fell from a toilet dispenser (haha Xoom is better than any magazine!) that was also about waist high. It fell on the same corner at almost the same angle. So now I have two flat spots stacked on on the same corner. Thats it for damage though.  One of the speakers seem to pop periodically but that stopped after I rebooted it. Been working fine for a month since the last drop…

My current OG has suffered numerous drops, one even face down and it has the scar to prove it. Oddly enough, I broke one before it dropping it on the face in the same way and it was brand new at the time. I think it all depends on exactly how the device lands, at what angle and what force.

Yeah I guess I drop things a lot. I plead the fizzifth to insurance….

Great video, some people think that nothing will ever happen to their devices but it’s true a slight accident can bring you to your knees lol  i am wondering why the OEM’s don’t use Gorilla Glass and a stronger frame to atleast hold against a waist high drop??

thats stupid i was expecting one of them not to break lol

If you look closely you’ll see they only dropped the iPad at waist height
