I have an Innopocket case, and though I've dropped my Clie (T615C) a couple of times, I've been very lucky. Once I dropped it at a car dealership with the top open as I was taking notes, and it flipped off the car and onto the pavement. Fortunately it dropped on the case and not the digitizer.
I also had a bad experience recently with my stylus. On this model there is a problem with the stylus not sitting in the silo correctly. The thing constantly falls out, and I've been too lazy to deal with it. I usually wind up groping around in my bag until I find it. I finally lost it on vacation and was paralyzed.
I ordered new ones, and when they came I said, "No more losing my stylus!" and tried the "tape trick". Essentially you try and fatten up the stylus so that it can't slip out. Well and good, except I bought a stylus that has a pen tip at one end, and not realizing it -- it's a pull-off top not a screw-off top! Ack.
So the stylus was then trapped in the silo. I read stories of people irreparably harming their pda's by opening the case up. I was flipping out, but I knew what I had to do. Finally, with some bravery and some online instructions, I opened the Clie's case and retrieved the stylus.
No more tape for me!
Just curious if you're still under warranty. That makes the difference. I am unfortunately not.
