had a storm for almost 2 years now and I drop it nearly daily, a lot of the black paint is scratched off, there are dings all over the back, but the screen is fine and it still works...if a storm ever really worked well...

I had so many issues with mine that I am glad I broke it.

Over a year I dropped my N82 3 times on concrete. Yikes! Probably another 4-5 times on the ground, although those didn't cause cosmetic damage.

I dropped my Droid once or twice on the ground, but we're talking office floor and nothing where the battery flies out like my other phones. I've always had a case on my Droid til now.

The iPod Touch can act like an iPhone essentially. I dropped that many times til the bottom part of the case (near the protector) shattered. I had an incase slider case so tahts 2 halves. The bottom half and the main compartment. The bottom part that snaps the case close shattered so I just threw it out after a while.

Dropped my Bold too many times - prob just clumsy. Hit the pavement hard and most of the time, the BB goes one way, the battery cover goes another, and the battery itself yet a different direction. The corners are all banged up but it still works great. Gotta hand it to RIM, they build these things pretty tough.
