I've had an iPhone 3G and an iPhone 4 and I've been a total butterfingers with both of them. I never cracked the 3G's screen, however, it started to have issues with it wanting to system restore like 3 times a week. Then I got the 4. I just cracked the screen last Saturday after saying I've dropped it plenty of times without it breaking. One face down onto concrete drop later, I'm sitting with it bad. It's still responsive though, so it's just annoying to have the cosmetic damage. I can try to get a pic of it up.
I'm not that much of a klutz because I rarely drop it, and if I do it's on a carpeted floor. Well, my iPod Touch situation has been very good for a while. Until a few months ago when it fell 3 times in a row, cracking the glass a little. Still works exactly the same, just with groovy patterns that you can dig your fingers in to. My phone, however, is a fake Nokia. No matter how it falls, it'll have no visible signs of damage to the screen, but the back is ruined.
I threw my Blackberry about 10 metres in the air and let it hit the floor to prove a point. The battery cover came off. That was it. Admittedly, it landed on a dirt/moss floor.
Seriously, Apple, what do you make your iPhone screens from? EVERY single one I've seen is cracked.

2 – TurtwigX, GalliumGrantI spoke too soon. I was running up some concrete stairs with the iPhone in my jacket pocket, but the movement from my pumping legs sent the phone flying out of my pocket and ricocheting into the concrete. It's alright though.
2 – Twiggy, GalliumGrantI'm actually not too klutzy when it comes to my phone. I'm a very light phone user, so it usually just sits on my desk or in my pocket. I don't really fidget with it much, so the chance for an accident is unlikely.
Just because I'm okay with my phone, doesn't mean I'm not a very klutzy person most of the time (and believe me, I am xD)!
1 – GalliumGrantI don't have a smartphone, but instead a motorola tracphone that I try to keep some minutes pre-paid onto it. I only use it to make calls when absolutely necessary. I'm fairly good at making sure it never gets dropped or anything...it helps that I rarely even have to use it, lol.
