I dropped my tablet twice already in 2 months. I did have a good padded case for it. (If you buy a 7" tablet, try the Targus case for the Kindle Fire at a Radio Shack and see if it works for yours--it fit my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 very well!).I also purchased a warranty from Square Trade that includes accidental breakage, etc., in addition to electronics failure. I hope I don't have to use the warranty, but I have used one of theirs before on a LCD TV and they paid me the purchase price of the unit.It probably goes without saying, whether it's a phone or a tablet, carry it carefully and hold on tight. Get a case that protects the corners well, as this is where you need protection the most--where all of the force is concentrated in one small area instead of over an entire side or back. And the screen is also in need of protection. A padded case can make the difference between a scuffed case and a broken piece of electronics.Donald Yes, things can happen.
