Little update: Credit where credit is due.
During the last 2 months, due to some circumstances I won't further discuss, I have dropped my Espion kit for about 25-30 times now, from my table, down to the short hair carpeted floor. The
mod took it like a champ. Only a few minor scratches in the paint, no dings or dents in the metal, no cracked screen, no loose buttons or battery door. This is much sturdier than I thought it could be.
Props to JT.
