I was walking to lunch from my workplace when my iPod fell out of my
inner jacket pocket (it got snared on the liner) and hit a concrete
floor, tumbled over about 4 times and stopped with me grabbing the
thing with fear that it died.
I picked it up and oddly enough it appears that it didn't get damaged
other than some very slight scratches on the rear panel. But the thing
had to have fallen from four feet straight up and didn't even miss a
beat - it was still playing the song that I was listening to when it fell.
After stopping and checking all of the controls, it appeared to be just
fine and it's still playing now, about an hour later.
I'd wondered how this would fare in situations like this since I've broken
many a walkman by dropping it or otherwise destroying it. Needless to say
I'm very impressed with the durability of the little guy.
Anyone else have any close calls like that?
