It depends. Do most customers actually care about how easy it is to break their screen before they have actually broken it? Will it be on their mind when they are standing in the store looking at smartphones?
It strikes me as the sort of thing nobody cares about until that one moment where they need it, and then it's too late.
- drifkin 13y agoApple marketed the Gorilla Glass strength pretty hard. And phone cases seem really popular: (random link I dug up) https://www.npd.com/wps/portal/npd/us/news/press-releases/pr_120821/ https://www.npd.com/wps/portal/npd/us/news/press-releases/pr... But yeah, I'm not sure that people care very much, they'll probably just get a case for whichever phone instead of caring that much about how strong the screen is.
- mikeash 13y agoThere are a lot of people out there who don't particularly want a case, but feel that they need it in order to protect the phone.
