Oh yeah, I have to agree. I actually dropped my S2 Skyrocket face first on the floor yesterday. Not a since scratch or crack. Had I dropped it in the holy area where I have dropped all my iPhones ( in my sunroom, on the nicer tile), it would have probably cracked.

Keeping the KF in a case, even a really cheap one, is a good idea.

Wow. I would have thought it would take a lot of pressure on a single point, rather than just a drop. So much for gorilla glass. And one more reason for me to stick with eInk

Gorilla Glass 3 is supposed to out this year. Will that maybe work?

Yeah, but I gave my Fire to my gorilla to play with and the stupid ape broke it immediately.

Is that covered by the warranty?

A very old post I don't even remember what I thought at the time..... Gorilla Glass isn't hard to break. I've seen many broken ones since that post.

Wondering IF the folks with broken Glass used the stylist pens? Those things leave minite scraches when CAN cause a break!
