    I mean it’ll still shatter if the metal dents inwards towards the glass. The real issue is we don’t use flexible materials at all anymore in modern phones (at least for the standard popular ones). Bring back plastic phones, and while you’re at it allow the back to pop off to be able to replace batteries easier.

      Being the voice of reason almost guarantees you won’t be heard. The screen replacement market is wildly profitable. The phone replacement because battery dead, even more so.

        I hate that you’re right. The general public moved away from keeping phones for 3-5 years, sometimes more to replacing broken glass sandwiches every other year if they’re lucky.

      Yeah, all my phones hold forever after the stressed glass got a crack. Almost as if they stress it on purpose.
