As long as there is nothing sticking up under it when you set it down and you're not slamming it down, I won't be too worried about setting it down gently. I have dropped a couple of mine on hardwood floor and deformed the plastic corner and not broke the screen. IMHO twisting of the device is the real screen killer.
