After a bad 6' fall the LCD did break internally, but outer glass didn't have a dent on it.

When I set out testing it, I assumed that this "20 times stronger, 30 times tougher" buzz was just marketing. Turns out - it is not.
This is good to know. I don't have to hover over my children when they use theirs. Constantly telling them to not be so rough with it.
