Shortly after I got my 4T (Olympus allowed me to trade my original 4 in) I
dropped
it while kneeling to grab a lens from my bag. It landed on the corner next to
the
counter and left a nasty ding. That ding is still there.
Your right, though, I don't see many dented 4ts etc., I think those tops are
doing
the job.
