Thread: BlackBerry PlayBook drop test - will it survive?

[Mobile? Click Here for Video]

How easily do tablets break if dropped? Apparently pretty easily according to the drop test performed by Square Trade on a new BlackBerry PlayBook. The drop tests were performed from waist-high as trying to simulate if you drop the tablet from a coffee table or on the street.

• Drop #1 - Scratched the corners, broke glass in the corner
• Drop #2 - Landed flat on the screen and shattered it

I'd like to see a drop test with the PlayBook in a few different style cases. Anyone willing to sacrifice theirs for the cause?

This is why you buy the Otter Box case.

For sure, a case is a must. A good case can protect from a normal drop.
