Gorilla Glass my Donkey

---

I am now the proud owner of an epic with the bottom half of the glass cracked lookin like an ipod that fell on its face from 3 feet.

To be fair, I went almost 2 years without anything more than a random scratch on the glass, but still....gorilla glass was a major selling point for me and its useless.

Atleast its not cutting my fingers lol if I was blind I wouldn't know it was cracked so maybe it cracked from the inside out? Idk but its cracked and crack is whack.

Lol I bet I still gotta pay $100 to get a refurb even though I was lied to

It's Gorilla Glass because it's ultra-scratch resistant, not because it's unbreakable.


Even diamonds can be broken.

Think about it.

View it this way, how long do you think normal glass would have lasted you?

Dude don't tell me its not useful. Here's the story of my Epic 4G.

i have 3 scratches on screen barely visible, only can tell when you hold to the side. normal viewing; you cant see it. it had fell out of my pocket when i was taking out slid across concrete for about 3 feet and thats it.

I have a tiny dent on the bottom of my phone it happen when i got of my car and was walking to my door and all of suddenly it flew out of my hand and landed standing up on brick and bounced and slammed across the brick.

i have some scratches on the top left of the silverish part from falling down, sliding across any surface it touches.

This phone is durable regardless of this amazing Glass.

Try that on an iPhone! HAHA Good Luck, either that or any tft lcd screen.

Lol I'm not attacking the durability of the phone, I brag about it. My phone has been dropped and tossed so many times and I had at most a scratch on the "chrome" lawlawlawl. I just got so used to it that when it dropped on its face I casually picked it up and was horrified lol I'm not used to my epic getting hut its definitely time for a new one though. My speaker died about a week ago. I just don't want that cheap ass GS3 and the evo lte has problems....

And dude that questioned normal glass, my hero didn't have gorilla glass and I dropped it into the train tracks and when I got it up the only damage was the paint scratched off of the physical call button, but then again I was a lot more careful with it because it didn't have anything special lol

Gorilla glass was supposed to be scratch resistant, which means it was actually more brittle and easier to crack. It's not a miracle material, it has it's draw backs too

i got so baked one night i forgot to close my garage, didn't even remember driving home
when i woke up i realized i didn't have my phone either
outside the garage i found the phone leaning on a rock face down
apparently the phone was in my lap and flung out when i got out of the car.
thank you gorilla glass
no damage

lol thats why i was horrified to see it finally gave in, because it fell so many times face down (i even challenged my friend with his iphone 4 to a throw test to see if he really believed that iphones wont break, needless to say I tossed my phone to show him just how frail his iphone really is because he refused to throw it the way i did even though my phone walked away harmless)

i just thought gorilla glass was indestructible, prolly cuz i associated that with "scratch resistant" lolololol but uptill now i believed it lolol
