Guess its what you do with what you got. Ive dropped my slim 4 or 5 times in the past week alone. As of yet (Knock on wood) I dont even have a scratch. What I do have is a slight nick in the trigger from the soldering Iron and another on the wrap handle. Hardly noticable. All the times it was dropped I put it on the couch arm, which is a good 3 to 4 feet off the ground, and I get up, get a drink, sit down and the damned thing always seems to slip off. BLAMMO, carpet salad. Pick it up, blow off the dog hair, and continue gaming. So, I wouldnt NOT get a slim from this alone. I still suggest it. Ive also got a baddass metal case for it, so when I do travel, if I do drop it from my hotel room again, I wont worry as much. That was a stressfull 3 flight run!
Oh, heres where I got my second
Metal Case it fits like a dream. Put my headphones under the PSP, put the ear buds in the small holes above the triggers, holds all 4 of my DUO's and 3 games easily.
