Motorola Motoactv :: Improve Handling And Durability In It?

I consider myself an above average tech savvy consumer and I love gadgets and gear. I plunged in and bought the MOTOACTV because, I love the concept of an all-in-one device. I love that it's small and lightweight. I've used the device once before accidently dropping it resulting in a big chip. I have some suggestions to protect the glass, and perhaps make the MOTOACTV more user friendly during the workout. I noticed that the glass is beveled above the frame. While beveling is attractive for design, it seems risky for glass, even "Gorilla glass." (1) I suggest bringing the lip of the MOTOACTV frame over the glass. My guess is that that will reduce the number broken screen incidents. I appreciate that once in the clip, the MOTOACTV is pretty firmly seated. I was wearing the clip on my waistband (I'm only about 5lbs overweight according to the BMI, so that means I don't have a big spare tire spilling over my waistband) when it fell off moments into the run. Fortunately, I was wearing wired headphones, so the MOTOACTV did not go crashing to the ground. So, (2) make the clip an optional accessory and the armband or wristband standard. The armband or wristband would allow easier access MOTOACTV during a workout, reduce the need to handle the MOTOACTV during the workout thereby reducing the risk of dropping it.

Maybe my experience of a broken screen is uncommon. I live in New Englang and like to workout outside even during the winter. That means gloves and less dexterity in handling small items. Even without winter weather, I think something this small can easily be dropped unless prevenative measures are in place.My last suggestion for the MOTOACTV after my brief experience is a screen lock to prevent accidental input during workouts. This would be particularly useful if Motorola continues to issue the clip as the standard mounting form. Several times during my run I accidentally forwarded to the next song or started a song over by accidently tapping the screen. Music is important to getting in the groove of a workout (where music is being used) and anything that interrupts the groove is very frustrating and who needs that when they are already in pain!?! Further, go back to point 1, accidental input while MOTOACTV is on the waistband is a reason to handle it during a workout/run and a chance to drop it and be unhappy with Motorola.
