Twice I've dropped my un-cased iPhone 4s from a height of around 1 meter onto a solid tiled floor, and to my surprise not even a scratch. Maybe I just got luck

Twice I've dropped my un-cased iPhone 4s from a height of around 1 meter onto a solid tiled floor, and to my surprise not even a scratch.
Maybe I just got lucky, but in my limited experience, the case is not needed to protect the glass.
- bryanlarsen 14y agoMost phones will usually survive such a drop. It all depends on how it lands. Phones with a glass back have double the number of ways that they can break when they fall, but it's still less likely to break than not. Drop it enough times and it will eventually break. But the OP is talking about breakage due to thermal shock, not to physical shock.
- yardie 14y agoThe glass on the iPhone is actually quite resilient. The problem is the drop on one of the 4 corners (technically 8). At least that is my theory. All of the broken glasses I've seen have started at one corner and radiate out.
