I can corroborate that statement, my heart skipped a beat seeing it xD. If I recall it fell about half a meter from where we were sitting onto pavement, screen first, damaging the corner of screen protector but surviving very well.

Mine never dropped that hard but I've had it pulled off my desk by the usb cable being accidentally pulled which really can't be good for the usb port (falling on the connector). It's survived without a scratch .
