iPhone scratch and drop test

Guys, could you do the same scratch test on your WM device without those screen protectors? :-D

I think HP iPaq 6515 and 6945 can take as much credit for the test as I dropped them many times on road and thowed one really hard but they still work!!!

In my review I cleary state it is very unstable.

I can tell you, comparatively, that I have dropped my T-Mobile MDA a couple of times and I have no problems with it. The only evidence of the drops is from one time it fell on the asphalt and was scuffed and scratched much the way the iPhone was in this test.

I am curious to see if the accelerometer on that test iPhone is still working properly, as well as the proximity sensor and ambient light detector. They did not seem to elaborate on the functionality of those parts of the iPhone after the test.

Mickey I cant tell you my iPhone has been in my pockets and dropped.. No scratches!

Yes, but we all know that no ruggedness review is complete without the famed sumo wrestler belly to belly slam test. ;)

Looks like it is very rugged! I am glad that someone took this on. Thanks PC Mag!

Impressive!!

What about this poor guy. Bet his heart stopped...

Great to see this - it's a relief.

That drop test really made me uneasy.. WOW now I am impressed!!!
