Damaged P1i

So I was waiting for my wife outside the changing room while she was trying her new shirt. I wanted to check my facebook account through my cellphone. I took it out of pouch, but is slipped out of my hand and it made a cracking sound as it fell to the floor. I saw a guy sitting near me made an "ouch" impression on his face, hehehe...
I pick my cellphone up immediately. I inspected the casing, looking for cracks. Great, i found none. Then I checked the software. It's still working smoothly. This indicates the battery, GSM, and the memory card are still well secured in their places, unaffected by the impact.
So I took another thorough look at the casing. If there were no cracks, there should be a scratch or a dent at the point it hit the floor. If I found none, then I was that lucky to have My P1i fell on one of its flat surface facing the floor. Well, I’m not that lucky I found that the bottom left section of the front panel is slightly out of place. It's like it's been yanked out from the inside

It's better than a crack though. I think P1i's relatively flexible plastic casing is the hero here. If it was made from a hard plastic, it will surely crack.
