Johnny,
Glad the camera survived the fall. Today I came across
this new product that I checked out and wrote to the
manufacturer to ask if it would save a camera if the
camera was accidentally dropped. The product is made
from metal and poly something or the other.

They have similar types of things for IPODS, Cell
phones, and PSP's. Something to consider I guess. If
nothing then perhaps the lens armor product would be
good to have.
