I have dropped my K3 many, many times especially when I first got it. I have Guillian Barre Syndrome and have severe hand numbness hence the fumble-fingers! It's hit hard enough several times that the device case itself would pop open around the corners. So far it has worked without a hitch. I have since bought a case which helps with the dropsy issue. Electronics by nature are not devices made to toss around so I'm impressed with it's durability.
