Today my Panasonic 470 got its first durability test. I was cutting the grass on our lawn tractor when it started to rain so i put it in my pocket. Then it started to rain harder so I started heading back towards the garage at a high rate of speed (old lawnmower with no safety devices) all of a sudden one of my earphones popped out of my ear and the cord tried to strangle me, I looked down to see the Panasonic jump over the back fender and tire of the lawnmower. I stopped and went back and it was sitting there playing the cd like nothing happened. The lid actually stayed closed! A little dirt got behind the display and paint came off the side but it hadn't even skipped.
It took a pretty good fall too. My Sony has gone through a lot worse but it always throws my cd out onto the ground to get back at me for the mistreatment.
The only thing that worries me is when I came inside and put a different cd in the player and closed it up it seemed to take longer than normal to start (like 7 seconds maybe). I'm worried it might start to go the way of Neruda's player that's almost broken.
I'll post on here if it breaks.
I was just surprised it was able to stay closed when I dropped it. Normally only shockwave players can do that with their metal latches.
