Mine certainly feels sturdier than my 1st-gen Razr, but that's not saying much. In my experience LGs get the nod for kid-proof.

My reference standard for flimsy is some of the Palm PDA models, like the Tungsten E. It's not actually a surprise, as they will look for any place they can to shave pennies from the cost of manufacture, but you get things like a power button that tends to stop working.
SolRaven says she dropped her Droid with no worse effect than a dent in the case. That's heartening, as few handhelds I've seen would survive that. It might not be really sturdy, but it sounds like it's sturdy enough.
I got cured the hard way of keeping my PDA in my shirt pocket, and I'm careful by reflex now, but I'll still take any help I can get.
Meanwhile, it may be Moto's name and logo on the case, but I suspect actual manufacture is done by some nameless Asian outfit to Moto plans.
