What is the halacha for dropping tefillin? Does it apply only if you drop them uncovered, or does it still apply even if they're in a bag, a lined bag, or a bag within a bag?
Thanks!

You should pick them up!
It's not half the problem if the're in the cover, even better if they are in a bag as well [Kis B'toch Kis].
Some suggest putting some money in the Pushka as sort od an "attonement".
If they fell hard, and got beaten up nicely, you may wanna stop be the Sofer to make sure everything is OK.

When I dropped my tefilin once in 8th grade, my rebbi told me to give the value of a meal to tzeddaka.

Right. My ingrained Chabad education made the automatic switch from fasting to Tzedaka. [See Tanya Iggeres HaTeshuva]nothing about fasting for the day?You should pick them up!

Thank you for pointing that out.

I thought fasting for a day was only when a sefer Torah falls?

In my elementry school an 8th grader tripped when carrying the Torah back to the Arron... he managed to hold the Torah upright but the handles hit the ground. They made every one fast till chaztos. (I think the Rabbaim fasted the whole day.)
