Watching the iPhone 4 video - they say the Glass is Laminated to the Display to remove "light refraction". Does that mean if you break the glass in the iPhone 4 - you've got to replace the whole display/digitizer? that's gonna get $$$.

With the iPhone 3GS you can break the glass and just replace the glass. That costs like $40-$50 (my bro broke his) versus $150-200 for the whole display. :S

Easy solution. Don't break the glass. I've had 3 iPhones, and never once dropped them or broken them. Can't be that hard to not break your phone...

+1; ..

They say that the glass is quite a bit stronger too, the same stuff that helicopter glass is made from. It shouldn't be that easy to break.

I've dropped my 3G several times and have some pretty nice nicks in the white plastic casing... the glass display is still pristine though.

Get a good case for it if you're worried. I'll probably invest in one this time.

*I've* never broken my iPhone Glass. But I have several friends and one brother who has. People *do* break it. It's not uncommon (I see 3-4 people with broken Glass/Screen iPhones every time I'm in the Apple Store).

So yeah, simple solution - don't break it. But it *does* happen. And now it's gonna be more expensive for people to fix it. :P
