How does it handle electrostatic discharge when touching it in that case? I used a case that was really more of an oversized heatsink[1] than a case and it was really sensitive. Managed to crash the rpi a couple of times when I touched it without touching ground first a couple of times.

edit: I replaced the thermal sticker for thermal paste, not sure if that could have affected it, the paste wasn't the conductive kind.

The case I'm using is this [0], and my Pi never crashed while inside it, even though I bear handled it.

The room the Pi lives has a wool carpet, too.
