Gorilla glass is supposed to be the toughest glass around?
Well i beg to differ!
Got a dell streak and less than a 2 foot drop and i now have a lovely crack all the way down the screen
Am not impressed. Glad i bought the insurance though.

Excuse the dealy of the pics. they are on my other phone but the port where the cable goes in is all dicky so they should be up in two days.
BTW 02 replace the phone under the insurance next day after phoning them with a brand new retail boxed stock (or so it seemed) was well chuffed
Damage resistance not damage proof
The reasons to choose Gorilla glass keep adding up. When you choose Gorilla glass, you’ll get more than just unparalleled damage resistance and protection:

Obviously EVERYTHING has a breaking limit, but I'm surprised a two foot drop is Gorilla Glass's. Maybe you dropped it into traffic or something?
derp
LOL it was onto another piece of glass!
congrats, you've found the kryptonite of gorilla glass.
for whatever odd reason(someone with chemistry know-how could explain better), glass-to-gorilla-glass contact is extremely 'harsh' on the latter. the EASIEST way to break your screen is to hit it with another piece of glass.
try dropping it onto another hard surface that is not glass, it'll fare alot better.
i'm not trying to give gorilla glass a free pass, but many of the 'surprise' breaks involve glass. just a fyi
It's just the Mohs scale. Anything higher or equal than glass (silicon dioxide) can scratch it. The bonds in glass (Si-O-Si) can disrupt other bonds in another piece of glass as they are pretty much the same in terms of hardness. On the other hand, wood is soft because the bonds holding wood together are weak, so if you try to scratch glass and wood together the wood will prefer to be scratched by the glass.
On that note though, don't try and use gems or diamond to see how tough Gorilla Glass is ; )

This seems to be a recurring theme with gorilla glass front phones. Side impacts especially seem to make the stuff just shatter even if normal front-on abuse lets it go unharmed.
Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.
Rule 1A:
Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.
Rule 2:
When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.
Rule 2A:
When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.
Rule 3:
When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.
Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!
Random Tip o' the Whatever
You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.
This ones for you dahma
Gorilla glass must be tempered if it fails in side impact and glass to glass impact. Tempered glass is terrible in side impact resistance.
Mine was a 45 degree impact
Still cant get the pics off my phone (sony erricson and their connector designs)
Ill try to get them up as quick as i can.

Personally, I had an iPhone 3GS, and I abused the CRAP out of it. Someone Knocked my iPhone out of my hand, and flew like 6 feet into the air and then fell, people went OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MAN. I picked up, Cringed, pressed the home button, D: Nothing happened to it =D. I did have a lil condom case on it though, wasn't thick. Then it took more months of dropping, throwing it in the air, and etc. Still works to date.
Now I'm on my HD2, trying to be careful with that 4.3 inch screen.

Me or Him? For me, well It landed on concrete on the edge by the sleep/power Button. The case had a nasty little scar. Phone? Mint condition!

My Samsung Wave landed on asphalt today (i hate it when it happens). It landed edge down and then on the screen. Not a single scratch on a screen, but i have few nasty holes in the aluminum case. I'd wish it was made from stainless steel instead, even with higher weight. It would be scratched but not dented... Plus if it was silver i culdn't even see the scratches, but since it's black, they are quite visible. Ah. 1 month old and already scratched. I hate this.

Here's an example of what happens. It's no myth, at least when it comes to iPhones with gorilla glass fronts:

Doesn't look too bad though
It looks pretty cool actually! Specially "cracked" iPhone back cover.Doesn't look too bad though
