I was riding my Goldwing when I felt something hit my leg. As I looked in the mirror to my horror I saw my BB holster hit the ground. That was followed by the BB coming out of it and the back coming off and then the battery coming out.
So I stopped the bike as quick as I could and turned around. Picked it all up and put it back together. Turned it in and voil� it booted up and everything is fine. Now that is on rough tumble at thirty miles an hour for a BB to survive. The screen did even crack. How blessed I am and thankful for it.
HOLY COW MAN, you were lucky, my berry just fell outta my lap only about maybe 2 feet and the lcd cover screen cracked. I am jealous!!HAHA LOL but really, LUCKY!!!
You are very very lucky, I guess the Berry Gods were on your side. At 30 miles an hour it surely would have cracked the LCD or the window. I guess its one lesson learned never carry your Berry holstered when riding rather keep it safe in your pocket.

I dropped mine for the first time after only having it a week and a half. The Speck Products clear hard case didn't do its job. It just split in half from a 2.5' fall.
I am a service manager for an apartment community. My 8330 survived a "pop out of the holster" fall from a ladder onto a sidewalk from about 25 feet with only an oem rubber skin. It has a couple of scratches, but the skin held the back and battery in place, and no issues so far.
I feel your pain tho, that couple of seconds as the "oh crap that's my bb" sets in and you watch helplessly as it slo mo's to a stop.
