Everything seems to break right after the warranty expires! However, my c340 has fallen off the windshield, bounced off the dash, and landed on the floor no less than three times. (This was what made me realize how important the dust-free mounting surface is.) But even with those falls, the unit still works like it did the first day I got it. I don't doubt that you could break one (considering it's an electronic device,) but mine has proved very durable. @Robert

I was in a wooded area of which the only navagation I had was the 340. It fell from its mount hitting the dash and the onto the floor. The jolt killed it. Since then I have seen other reports of how delicate the unit is and one stated, "What ever you do don't drop the c340." You might want to address that for your readers.
