A kid in my calculus class dropped his phone that had Gorilla Glass last month and it cracked hardcore. I'm not saying it's common, I just remember his comment was "This glass doesn't break!" while looking at his purdy new shattered phone. :chuckles:

It's still possible to break gorilla glass. It's just much harder.

Well she never had a smartphone, and judging by her internet history, she only goes to facebook and weather.com :chuckles:

She does have an ipad fyi. Are you able to pair them together for stuff? :dunno:

She will not root the razor if she got it (can you do that on verizon?)

Phone will be left stock.

my G2X has gorilla glass. My GF dropped her G2X on the ground once and completely shattered the entire screen.

For what it's worth, it wasn't that hard of a drop and the touch screen was BLOWN UP.

I think it's a case by case basis. While drunk, I dropped my old droid X about 5' on concrete on the corner of the screen. Not even a hairline fracture, but it did leave a black mark on the concrete.

This guy drops his 24" and the thing explodes.

i slammed my old phone in my car door (insane timing) and only had a crack in the middle of the screen.
