    Today I was at work and had to go out to a dentist appt. Had my Z10 in the blackberry holster with me.

    It was raining hard and really windy when I got back and I had to park far from the building. My umbrella went inside out 4x on the way in. Back in my office, I thought I had left my phone in the car. About an hour later, another department called - they had found my phone lying on the ground on the pathway in. It had been in the rain for an hour!

    So, I thought "it's screwed" but then how could they have known whos it is other than because it's working! Sure enough - case soaked and phone had a little moisture on the screen, but it seems to be working fine. AMAZING!!!

    Any precautions I should take for moisture?

    You probably are lucky. But you should remove the battery and either find a desiccant at a hardware store or some raw rice or a gentle blowing vent and thoroughly dry it before putting the battery back in.

    Dropped mine from a 12' ladder onto a concrete floor - no case. It landed like a cat... or at least it didn't land face down. Minor scratch on one corner.

    The biggest question I have is how you managed to not look at your phone for one whole hour? Haha

    All kidding aside, glad it's still kickin. Definitely wouldn't hurt to do as the others have said and let it dry out for a few hours.

    A whole pile of hardcore? Darn that's impressive. I once dropped my phone on one piece of hardcore without a scratch.

    That's two of you dropping your phones onto hardcore and I never heard that term (Canadian?) I had to really search around to finally find what I kind of suspected but most sites and cites limit it to the first items on this list:

    " Hardcore wrestling, a form of professional wrestling
    Hardcore dancing, a maneuver usually performed at live performances of heavy or extreme music
    Hardcore pornography, an explicit form of pornography
    Hardcore (comics), a fictional character in the Marvel Universe
    Hardcore (1977 film), a British comedy film
    Hardcore (1979 film), an American crime drama film starring George C Scott
    Hard core, a type of semiconductor intellectual property core
    Permanent death, sometimes called "hardcore mode", a video game style which doesn't allow a killed player to be restored
    Construction aggregate, often referred to as hardcore"
