    I put my bag on a chair (2.5 feet high) and put T61 in it but did not zip the bag. Then did something else. Came back and took the bag and then the T61 fell off the ground (wood floor). After that, opened T61 and everything works fine.

    I accidentally dropped my BenQ laptop that was in my messenger bag from ~7.5 feet high and nothing happened. I'm sure a T61 could do that as well :).

    Damage was already made and I suggest you check with Lenovo for inspection and repair possible damage ASAP. I have an notebook falling once, and there was a slight noticeable crank on the lid cover. It became a big crap later and I have to change the whole lid cover.
