I feel like I hear this statement every other year. I'm not invested enough to go back and actually validate my theory, but this definitely isn't the first time I've heard that from a phone company. They always seem to fail the 6ft drop test.

- smacktoward 8y agoBeing the most durable glass is a bit like being the sexiest person in the burn ward. I mean, yes, good, but you know what's far more durable than the most durable glass? Anything that's not glass. It's kind of mind-boggling that, first, we took an object we knew people were going to drop frequently, and wrapped it in glass; and then, second, that billions are consequently being spent to come up with a glass that is sufficiently un-glass-like to be practical when wrapped around those objects.
