Original GB: It's probably going to stay on even if you drop it or throw it at a pillow; at worst, it'll reset, though this is rare (though once I did erase a game cart when I dropped my GB onto a gravel road, that's a rare case, and the GB itsself was unhurt).

GBC: Much more fragile... don't throw it at things, it looks like it might break... and the screen seems to scratch easier, too.

GBA: Don't throw it at things -- it's liable to reset and doesn't feel any more solid than the GBC.

I don't know about 'accidentally turning off', because it almost never happens on those systems... I don't leave my console on when I'm carrying it around, so it's only going to happen if you somehow manage to hit the power switch accidentally which isn't easy when it's on the side... but on top? That does seem too easy. So I like the move, even though I haven't spent enough time with a SP or DS to know if that design would be a problem for me... though it doesn't fix the "the original GB was just plain made tougher" issue.
