Can you crack the screen with your finger?

Is the glass supposed to be strong? Cause my 5s cracked from a drop of about a foot or so....

I don't think Apple has or will ever say whether the iPhone uses GG or not. They've never been one to talk up the other manufacturers in their products.

Regardless it's still a scratch resistant glass of equal quality. People get too invested in brand names.

Yes i had one for a few hours but there was this little tiny piece of dust under it and it was making me go insane so I took it off. My phone looks just as it did when i took it out of the box. Just always give it its own pocket dont put it in with your keys.

Actually keys shouldn't be able to scratch a glass .... It takes something harder than glass, like diamonds or some kind of sand (which contains glass particles).

The only flaw I'd noticed in my first iPhone5 (which developed a fault with the power button and had a mm or so of "play" if you pressed the screen near the volume controls) is that Gorilla Glass can't cope with sand. It's FAR from scratch resistant and one weekend at the beach in summer with it in my pocket 99% of the time left noticable tiny specs on the screen where the glass had chipped slightly.

I currently have my replacement phone in a rubber case with a screen protector and it's been like that since I took it out of it's packaging. I didn't even more than cut off some of the back plastic so it's going to be in as new condition till my contract is over with O2 and I can move to a reputable network.

There is no glass in the world that could cope with sand ....
Sand could scratch almost everything since it contains small very very hard crystals.
I install a screen protector only during the summer.

I went to the verizon store to have them apply a screen protector and the dude was pushing on the screen crazy hard trying to get bubbles out. Pissed me off
