I was insanely careful with my Kindle and was happily showing it off one night when, as I was putting it back in it's case it dropped from about 5ft onto a stone floor. At first I thought nothing was wrong but the bottom of the case had popped out and no amount of pushing would get it back in, the device worked fine but I was really upset that it was no longer perfect.
My extended warranty wouldn't cover me, as it was only cosmetic damage, so me and the bf managed to prise the rest of the cover off and put it back on properly. The only small issue now are that you can now see a bit of the circuit board under one corner.
I was really impressed that the screen was not damaged though and if the clip at the bottom hadn't collapsed the cover would have been easily fixed.
I am now very, very careful with my Kindle 3 but will want Kindle 4 when it comes out as mine is no longer perfect.
