   This looks promising, specially being finger print proof, this should push Corning to produce Gorilla Glass into the construction market now, I'd like hard to break glass in the home, safer for kids when it comes to sliding glass doors as well

   If I were the CEO of apple, I will use this to replace the aluminum unibody used in iphone 5.. so, the iPhone next gen could be thinner, lighter, and more durable(scratch resistant like iPhone 4S and drop-proof than iPhone 5)

   I wish my Galaxy S3 had a plastic screen. The first and only time I dropped it it broke. It fell from almost 4 feet and landed on its face. The bottom portion near the button shattered, the screen itself went black. I then had it checked out and I was told they could not fix it.

   They should also allow you to attach a little rope to put your hand through like you can with a camera. I'm now back using my old Galaxy S2 which oddly enough is not gorilla glass yet it has sustained at least fifteen, maybe even twenty drops. It only has some minor scratches. :/

   If you read the article on Gorilla Glass in Wired a couple months back, they talked about how it was actually invented something like 30 years ago. They couldn't find a good use for it though. They wanted to make windshields out of it, but extra hard windshields aren't good if you fly into one in a crash. They ended up shelving the stuff until smartphones came along.

   True... It would almost be like hitting a brick wall (and I would personally want broken glass and a few cuts than a broken body)...

   Very nice. Good to lose some weight from mobile, laptop and tablet screens.
