Why glass on the back of the phone? It doubles the surface area susceptible to breaking and it serves no useful purpose (the widget thing looks like a gimmick).

Why glass on the back of the phone? It doubles the surface area susceptible to breaking and it serves no useful purpose (the widget thing looks like a gimmick). I've had two phones with glass surfaces on the back, and they both had cracks in it within the first year (the front luckily survived though).
