You're cute. I can't wait for your first scratch.
If a person can drown in less than an inch of water, it's possible for a leaf to scratch the glass. It's called a fluke, and they happen all the damned time.

It's not a fluke, it's physically impossible for a leaf to scratch an iPhone. Maybe in some other universe where our laws of physics don't apply?
You can be a douche and say whatever you want, but it happened to my phone. Take it or leave it. Apple replaced it. There's a case with an exception on it for a free replacement. I don't care if you believe me or not. I was just giving my experience since somebody asked.
I doubt the leaf did anything. If it really did crack - and if there was give, it's a fracture - it was probably more likely due to another factor, whether it be rapid temperature change, an inherent structural fault in the glass (a lemon), or alien interference.
No, a leaf did not scratch your phone, you had it in your pocket and cracked the glass while moving around those tree branches.
You said it yourself, the glass gave on each side of the "scratch". You could put your fingernail in it. A leaf did not do that. You did - while you were moving around heavy stuff with your new gadget in your pocket.
The truth is that the glass is very, very difficult to scratch on the iPhone and iPhone 3G. A hundred videos and real-world use have proved that. On the iPhone 3GS every user will see hairline scratches in specific light from the oleophobic coating. Now, the glass itself is more scratch-resistant than the proven practically impossible to scratch iPhone and iPhone 3GS screen.
The oleophobic coating is what you're scratching if you see any scratches, not the glass. They need to get rid of the oleophobic coating in my opinion. It just makes fingerprints easier to wipe off, the iPhone still gets them easily, and the coating can get scratched off, taking away from how scratch-resistant the glass is.

In Apple's case for the iphone4 it's the other way around: the ultra strength glass is made for scratch protection otherwise we wouldn't see the spectacularly shattered screens (alliteration!)
Shattering as in break. Like bullets hitting a regular window shatter. It may crack but it won't break into peices
lol u believe that BS? I bet u also think the ip4 antenna is a work of genius too.
