Man... I was charging it and about to step over the cable leading to my Storm and I could've swore that my feet had properly cleared the cable, but apparently not and my Storm went flying.
I quickly ran over to it and checked every aspect of it to see if there had been any damage or if the screen was cracked or scratched in any fashion and, luckily my Storm escaped 100% undamaged.
I never thought dropping it would be this scary. It felt about exactly the same as when I was almost involved in a car accident on the highway when some ***** was driving like a maniac and his tire came flying off causing cars to swerve all over the place, including mine, to avoid the tire and/or the out of control vehicle.
God I dropped my old pearl once at work and my hear stopped. I was just glad i had it in a hard case the case split apart but it took all the impact my pearl was cleannn.
had my first storm drop from my hand. it hit the ground and went black. thank god no scratches or cracks. was able to get it replaced under 30 day replacement.
note: new phone not as stable/reliable as first one.
and the funny thing is, when we drop our beloved storms, we pick it up like nothing happened..(cuz you know, we gotta look cool right?) then when you're alone, you check to see if there are any damages.. haha
It's a good think you had .86 loaded on your Storm. Had you had anything lower, I think the screen might have fallen off.
Haha trusty .86. It places a protective barrier around the Storm
lol, the world about to end comment about sums it up for me. Yea aubrey, if I ever dropped it in public, I'd have no choice, but to pretend like it was no big deal, but when I got home I'd scrutinize every little detail.

I dropped mine onto the driveway getting out of a car, i forgot it was on my lap and not in the holster, battery door came off and it flipped over and it landed screen side down on the door. didn't think there was any damage until i looked later and some small scratches most likely from where it hit and bounced. Got it replaced though because of the screen click issue, had been having problems before I dropped it. Went from Canada to Mexico
omfg i dropped mine not once but twice in like a minute. I was rushing to get to my car and was trying to put it in my back pocket at the same time and it fell. I froze and was actually scared to look back for fear that i mightve killed it. lol Luckily i have a silicone case and it landed face up. Then i took like 3 more steps and F'n dropped it again! It landed the same way and unfortuneately i was in public so i just grabbed it and as soon as i got in my car i scanned it and it was perfect.
Its a first edition.

Reason: grammar
I almost cardiac'd the other day when I dropped my Storm from the 4th step of a concrete steps onto a sidewalk.
I can't tell you how happy I was that the silicon cover it sits inside completely protected it. It didn't get one scratch. Best $12 I've spent in eons.
Lol, just dropped mine too on tile flooring. I immediately panicked, but no scratches! I did pop the screen back on a little on my first click, but other than that.... I'm glad they made them solid!
Of course, I will go and grab a skin right away tomorrow, now
