They even mentioned the dropping on the phonescoop review. Its so thin and large and its got some pretty smooth cheap plastic for the edges. The plastic on the back in rough but since the phones is pretty big your hand doesnt touch the rough plastic part to get grip. Still I really like the device, I have had only htc's and i preferr htc but I think the infuse is definitly a winner if I switched to att the infuse is definitly the phone i would get. bright cartoony style color for the screen, fast duel-core processor and I like big screens for my gameboid emulator.
