Well since I will have to "baby" my BB when I get mine. I guess I can't put mine where I do my current phone while I drive. Which is well, you can guess. Otherwise I can't hear/feel the phone go off. I wouldn't trust my BB to be there.
its gotten better since i got a rubber case...lol everything i say sounds sexual
A shield of some sort usually helps to protect, though I find leaving it naked and having contact with skin to be a better experience. It just feels more natural.
