Dropped iPhone on the cement pavement

I accidentally dropped my phone on the cement pavement on the way home. Although it seems to be working fine but could there be any internal damages that I can possibly test to see if they are all still in tact? How much hit can the plastic InCase casing take, does it really protect against this kind of accidents?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.4.8)

You really should get a case for an iPhone. Them buggers can be slippery. User uploaded file

I've tested a lot of them out and there are a lot of good ones out there on the market. Right now I'm using a U-Suit. It's a nice rugged light-weight leather case and has a nice 'grip' to it.

I dropped my iPhone on concrete several times before getting a case. One of these drops included a couple of bounces and a skid, and I've experienced no problems.

Depending on the chosen case, it can take away from the appearance, but a case is a must IMO.

If you aren't experiencing any problems, I wouldn't be worried about it. There is nothing you can do to test anything besides using it.
