Mobiles.

I use a HTC one X

Juice uses a Galaxy S3

I,ve dropped mine no end of times and it hasn't cracked

She dropped hers twice and it cracked.

What handsets do you use and how have they fared. I see loads of cracked screens with iPhone and Samsung. I particularly remember Nokia's being solid too. Maybe smartphones are more susceptible to damage with a bigger screen?

Your experiences please

I generally use HTC, but I've had a Galaxy S2 for 2 years, dropped it countless times, not a scratch, not a broken screen.

I keep it in the pocket with my keys, no problems at all.

I did buy and S3, looked at it too hard and it scratched - Gorilla Glass 2 - as fitted to the S3 and above is crap! Went back to my S2 until I find another phone I don't have to treat like a newborn.

Of course, we all remember the old Nokias. Jen's phone is very much like that...

I put it into a rubber gear4 cage thingie though, so when it drops it hits the rubber never the iPhone

I think it's just luck of the draw as to how it lands. Everyone used to say iphones were bad for it but they probably seemed worse due to the sheer number of people using them.

Now that more and more people are moving away from the iphone then more and more breakages are occurring with other hand sets.

I had an iphone and I dropped it countless times and it didn't break.

I've had a galaxy s3 same as above, no worries. Although I did think I would have problems as it did feel a little more flimsy than the iphone.

I've now got a galaxy s4. Fingers crossed I won't have any problems with that.

My daughter has a galaxy note 2. She'd had it a few weeks and dropped it. The screen went.

Just pure luck as to how it lands if you ask me

Great phone, I swapped my Desire HD for one...better enough to be better, familiar enough to not be too different, if that makes sense !
