Just my $.02 but that screen is a crack waiting to happen!

With a screen that big, it is going to take less pressure to cause a fracture.  Just my thoughts...

Curious: would the same be true if it were plastic? Is it the rigidity that would make that a likely scenario?

The problem is lbs/sq.in.  The strength of the material makes a little difference but the big factor is the span between mounted edges.  A bridge can only be so long before a brace is needed in the center to equalize the force applied.

I just remember having my screen rupture about 9 months ago and sprint told me that it was from too much pressure being applied to the screen.  I baby my phone and don't necessarily agree with him but regardless, a screen that huge is going to have a very sensitive spot right in the middle...

as much as I hate when people bash things as beautiful as the leo I know that there is a good chance it can happen...but it also depends on if its GLASS or PLASTIC. It also depends on the frame.

If you feel that what is true for me is true for me, and whats true for you is true for you. What if My truth says your truth is a lie? Does that make my truth still true?

That's why I was asking if rigidity was a factor, since plastic has much more pliability than glass.

I just found this article over at Tech Crunch that discusses the possible future or hiccups in the Android platform. I think Android will do fine but the article does raise some interesting questions.
