My iRiver H140 suffered no ill effects when it jumped form my pocket
while I was running through an Amsterdam street (late for a meeting in
the Okura) and it bounced on the stones a few times. It was turned off
and the iRiver's metal casing is probably a lot more sturdy than the
iPod's plastic. Not to mention the beneficial effects of the crude but
effective leather case that comes with it. Still, I'll try not to repeat
that experiment.
I think the iPod's casing is more at risk from damage than the HD, at
least if the latter is in parked mode, which - fortunately - it is most
of the time.
Regards,
Peter
I drop my iHP-120 fairly often, no issues. It is in the leather case that iRiver thoughtfully provided. It's in much better shape than my wife's iPod mini, which is half the age.
