If you handle a camera that clumsily, perhaps you should consider purchasing
camera armor for it. The
Made Products company sells
body armor for the K10D. This body armor also comes with a protective lens hood and a clear polycarbonate shield for the rear LCD. While you're at it, don't forget some
grip armor for the battery grip. Several have said this particular grip armor (linked to) fits the Pentax grip just fine.
Of course, even all this would not have prevented the damage to your eyepiece in this particular instance, but it just might help in the future when you drop the camera again.
