Oh man, I hope you have insurance otherwise to pay another 540 is really not going to make your day.

i dropped my one on the tile floor couple times, because its heavier then the usual phone it makes a loud bang which is enough to give anyone a heart attack.

What a gem of a thread this is; an exciting read throughout.
Let me drop my drop story in here too. My N900 was resting peacefully in its PDAir pouch while I was sleeping. When the clock struck 7 in the AM the N900's soothing windy whispers began filling the room with a symphony of sound filled with both confidence and urgency. I was being slowly awakened but could not cope wholeheartedly with the reality of another morning, so instead of rising I simply reached over, took the leather clad device in my hand, removed its sheath and pressed the snooze. Ahhh, silence at last. Naturally, I immediately dozed off. What awoke me permanently was not the return of the N900's modest aural spectacle but rather a loud thump which resonated with the strength of several overbearing timpani being banged simultaneously. To my chagrin the N900 had landed, and bounced, on the floor beside my bed. As I quickly rose and cleared my throat in preparation for a thunderous sequence of profane expletives I had no idea I even knew, I realized that for the entire length of this ghastly episode I had maintained a firm grip on the leather pouch, which I am happy to report is still in mint condition. Rats.

I thought I was the only one to do this.... I have dropped my N900 twice on the treadmill at the gym. I really need a set of bluetooth headphones to prevent this happening again....

you lot need a visit from (Nokia) social services. Appalling way to treat your device 
Also: Cool Story Bro
I haven't had any worrying drops with my n900 yet. Which is good, because I don't use any sort of screen protection or rubberized case.
But I do carry mine in a Nutshell Leather Belt Pouch/Holster that fits it perfectly (was originally for treo 650).
But I'm starting to think maybe a lanyard is a good idea, gonna see if I can use the one from my old Coolpix S6
