I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with you on "something" being better than "nothing". The phone is not out yet, they don't have ALL the info about how it's built, nor access to ALL the parts, so they shouldn't do the test.
It's like if I went and bought a BMW frame, ran it into a wall and saying these BMW's are very unsafe and look horrible in a wreck..
EDIT: don't kid yourself... ANYBODY benefits from a little bit of media coverage, i don't care what business they were in.
I took off my anti glare for 2 weeks on my 3GS. Got 1 tiny hairline scratch it wasn't really a scratch into the glass but the oleophobic coating. So I put another anti glare on and it was good after that.
I'll definitely be protecting the screen on the 4 with an anti glare also. I'm nit going to risk scratching the oleophobic coating off. I will also most likely use a incipio feather case for a little back protection.
The frame doesn't bend or flex at all.
If anything, the guts would make it heavier, making acceleration in a free fall quicker, making impact greater and shattering easier.

Looks like someone didn't pay attention in freshman physics.

They may have explained it incorrectly, but the mass is greater and f=ma so the force when it hits the ground will be greater and cause more damage, not less, by having the guts inside.
Just a post to chime in and say thank you for doing this early test on the parts you have.
People who make accusations about the test being fake are just Apple fanboys to the absolute extreme (aka morons). They try and defend a product that they have no experience of whilst you have made an interesting test which is of no benefit to you either way it goes.
For the record, I plan to purchase the iPhone 4 on launch.

Funny thing is...is when we dropped it...our sole intention was just to 'test' the durability. Just a spur of the moment thing...no plan...
Someone needs a visit to Corning Glass Works in upstate New York for an education on the strength and flexibility of glass...
Many folks don't even realize the tiles on the space shuttle are made with glass. Fiber optics are also glass.

Has anyone posed the question if they actually were using iPhone 4 OEM parts? Do we have any way to prove this? Seems far fetched until we have some proof that this glass is the real deal.
yes...and its real
So where is the proof? Saying it's real doesn't exactly make it so.
EDIT: looking back on the posts I have found nowhere showing proof that this was an OEM display. The fact that it wasn't a fully put together phone, no video of drop test, and no proof of parts being OEM leads me to believe that somebody got a lot of publicity for this "drop test" that most likely will generate more revenue in the market of cases. Don't believe it until you see it for real folks.
So, you would rather loose the function of having the oleophobic coating by protecting it? Why protect it if you aren't even getting any use out of it?
