So, I had a pile of things on a high table. My Aura HD was on top of that pile. I was clumsy. The Aura HD flipped off the table, into the air, bounced off the tile floor and landed face down. I have a chip in the plastic frame (thinking that was the bounce), but no damage to the screen and it works just fine.

The HD has a rather deep bezel--bigger than the Glo, for sure. It made me wonder if the flat capacitive screen would have fared as well. I think the "crumb catcher" kept the screen from whacking the tile floor. It was at least a 4 foot drop.
