Gorilla glass is breakable

[jacksoncage]

Has anyone broken Gorilla glass due to the "protective" case from the belt clip/holster becoming slippery from using it and the phone dropping at just the proper angle to "spider it" and then Verizon saying it is your fault?

There are a lot of websites about the glass breaking and youtube videos also - it is a very fragile phone for some

Corning® Gorilla® Glass’s unique combination of beauty and toughness is creating exciting new possibilities for electronic devices.

Gorilla Glass features exceptional damage resistance to the scratches, drops, and bumps of everyday use. It's cool to the touch, and cleans easily – making it the perfect solution for sleek, seamless designs. And it’s sensitive enough to enable today’s most sophisticated touch applications.

NEW CORNING GORILLA GLASS 2

New Corning® Gorilla® Glass 2 is now up to 20 percent thinner, enabling slimmer devices, better touch responsiveness, and brighter images without sacrificing the damage resistance consumers demand. The result is superior design flexibility for electronics manufacturers as they develop high performing, touch sensitive, and durable mobile devices.

  It is not shatter proof, right on the Corning Gorilla glass website, it says "highly damage-resistant", not damage proof. It is basically going to protect you from all those scratches and such that normal phones will suffer from, but I don't think the glass is going to stop if from damage, especially being dropped and hit at the right angle.

  And they are right, you dropped it, I don't know what you are looking for from Verizon?

And so you can see it happens on iphones, tablets, and of course droid phones. Lots of lawsuits pending as young kids are in danger of getting hurt.

I bet the lawsuits will fail...  Simple truth no one said the glass can never be broken.  They state it takes more force or abuse for it to break.  The lawsuits are by people trying to make a quick buck during troubled times.  These people knew these phones were made with glass, and it is COMMON SENSE that glass can break.  These lawsuits are like trying to sue a cup maker for their kids cutting themselves after throwing a cup on the ground and it shattering.

Sort of like buying a wrist watch that is 'water resistant' then going swimming with it - only to find that it damages your watch. "Resistant" is not "Won't".
