My OLED deck was in the official case and it fell off my bed onto a carpeted floor (2.5 feet). When I opened the case I noticed that the left side of the deck had opened. I had to snap the body back together. According to other posters, this is a common occurrence dating back to the original launch window. I’d recommend everyone look into a more drop protected case.
While we’re talking about anecdotes, I knocked mine off the kitchen table onto the linoleum without a case, and the only damage was a small scuff mark.
So, your mom was angry about scratched linoleum?
