GamerGuy4790 reacted to typographie in How durable are motherboards?
They aren't particularly fragile as long as you handle them properly. Use a reasonably anti-static and non-conductive workspace (like the top of the motherboard box), and make sure you pay close attention to the stand-off screws when you mount it inside the case, and you will have eliminated all of the most likely pitfalls.
Never place the motherboard on top of a metal surface, or on top of the anti-static bag the motherboard came in. The outside of an anti-static bag conducts electricity.

All I can say about motherboard durability is scratches and the intel socket. When building, I dropped some screws on my MOBO and scratched the top and also when dropping my CPU in I dragged it on the pins by accident and nothing was broken. Also, at school we touched and held MOBOs in our hands and I was curious how durable the pin socket were and well, they are really hard to bend, so the pins are really more durable than said.

Let me give you a quick summary based on what I read most recently:
- Broadwell desktop will be skipped
- Skylake locked will be released in Q3 2015
- Skylake unlocked ETA is unknown

That is normal. The mobo does this to ground itself with the case, I believe. Regardless of the reason why, all boards do this so nothing to worry about

It is fine.
The area around the screw hole is designed to take a bit more of a beating than the rest of the board.
Just don't over tighten the screw, make sure it is fastened nicely without being so tight that you struggle to undo it.

not to worry about that
unless your mobo has cracks on the circuit
it will still run fine
