I once droped my GP32, too. But it was very hard. I was using an AC Adapter, and my mother was caling for me, so i put it on my desk, and wanted to go down. As I left my chair, the cable of the adapter just caught in the armrest of my chair, and as i was getting out of it, the chair was spining. So the gp32 was drawn from my desk. However, I noticed that, and tried to grab it. But I just smacked it against my wall. I was really surprised that it wasn´t damaged at all (not even visible). So this tells us, the GP32 is extremely Shock resistent, but isn´t built for Button bashing!
