Actually, when I saw the thread title I immediately thought, "hockey puck".
Nice pic BTW.
I brought my one and only BB Curve in 08 and at work on a lift(i'm an electrician) 18' in the air I droped my curve not only didn't it break but it worked right off the floor(which btw was marble) tough little bugger it was.I like the idea but one good shot and the cheap hardware would go to pieces and then you have pick them up off the ice.
I vote doorstop. Jam it under there and even if it cracks, it still does the job.
The BB's were tough. I hated the one we used for on-call at work, but it was tough. We ended up shooting it one evening after we had replaced it with an iPhone 3GS. Amazingly, it didn't blow apart into a million pieces. It just had a large hole through it and the back cover and battery went flying off to who knows where.
Man... I can't wait to get rid of my BB Curve and get the iPhone 5 next week.
My BB is a dumbphone and far from being a smartphone.
