Absolutely true, but there is a lot more to a device than just the glass. If we were comparing a small piece of glass to a large piece of glass, then the smaller should be stronger. That's why I've said from the beginning that "theoretically" the smaller should be stronger. However, a device is not made from just a piece of glass. Other things come into play, like the structural support from the case. That, I believe, makes more of a difference than the size of the glass.

If you claim that 1000DS (BGS+SC) can be as strong as Iliad (SGS+WC),
BGS + SC == SGC + WC
it is certainly possible since it has better casing.
That's exactly what I'm saying, and have been saying. I would even go a step further and say that potentially a large screen with a strong case can be better than a small screen with a weak case. I believe the case design is the primary factor.

However, it does not prove that the bigger screen (BGS) is inherently as strong as smaller screen (SGS).
I never said it did.

(Inherent problem with larger glass screen, as you mentioned in post #82)
I think you're misunderstanding what I said in that post.

Quote:
You can use the same sturdy casing with both glass (BGS) and plastic (BPS) and then the plastic one will have better durability.
BPS + SC > BGS + SC
Correct. I never said otherwise. I'm not arguing with that point, I'm only questioning whether it's necessary for normal usage.

BTW, I am sorry if I sound too aggressive. I tend not to include humor in discussion (or cannot since English is not my mother tougue).
No apology necessary. I also don't mean this in a bad way, but maybe you're mis-interpreting some of what I was trying to say? I admit that I don't always express myself as well as some others, but you seem to be arguing with things that I didn't say. Either way, I think this discussion has gone well past the point of usefulness.
