Did Steve Jobs and Apple think about how to protect the glass face of the $500.00 iPhone?

Question

Laptops close, flip phones flip..how are you supposed to walk around with glass in your pocket and not have it break?

Answer 1

Flexible Polycarbonate with transfilm substrate. Many smart phones and PDAs use similar stuff just like LGs new phone. Many cellphones have external displays, heck the new KRZR has an all glass front shell. Moto Q is similar. My O2 works with a stylus and hasn't scratched in months. The ipod screen was not meant to be touched so really has no protective coating on it. I just hope they don't turn it into a MOTOMING.
