I dropped my NW-A3000

[Tetsugaku-San]

So I did some 'field testing' yesterday on the way home after a crap day, and dropped my player whilst trying to hit the back button with my thumb one handed, dropped the player on it's face and it slid along the pavement slabs a few feet.

:'(

Good news is it still works, more good news, these things are bloody hard to scratch and it came off with only a couple of light marks and one larger ding on a corner

I was upset at first then realised the thing was always going to get damaged in the end as I don't have a case for it, and I'll use it till it disintegrates anyway

Hi

Tetsugaku-San,

It`s nice to hear that nothing has happened to your player but This is the second time you have dropped your player.....Take care of your player & buy a good case for it

WOW! well, at least we can say that the G-sensor protection works fine! hahahaha

That's crazy. Solid build, would have thought the fall would kill it, but nice surprise.

Very true - I have dropped it once already :-x the day I got it!!

To be honest I will probably drop it a lot more - my last creative mp3 player lasted atleast 15 drops onto concrete from a metre up and worked fine all the way to the end of it's life.

Ah well it's the music that counts in the end not the player, glad it still works though:)

Tetsugaku-San,

I`m not sure that Sony player can withstand that much drops ..

Happy Listening
