We overlook one thing even though it is very important. Can you guess it? It is the glass. It is the big glass top of the touch screen that we tap every now and then while using it. How many times do you enquire about the glass? It was never done by me. The reason of the whole idea is that when the glass cracks or shatters or fades with scratches, it really hurts.
This idea hit me while at the blogger bootcamp hosted by team Gorilla Glass. The time was on a weekend amidst the desert Tucson, where we took up testing the toughness of the glass between hikes and jeep rides. We participated in live demos of testing the toughness against scratch and the drop test. Even with serious efforts made in this issue by ex-NFL Linebacker Dhani Jones, the Gorilla Glass stayed intact.
Gorilla Glass has by now helped protect 4.5 billion gadgets throughout the world.
