Glass still breaks. All materials have tradeoffs regarding hardness, strength, and toughness. And with a display you want clarity. You could have tempered glass that's strong enough until the point that it breaks, and the entire piece will shatter as the compression/tension is released. The glass could be made tougher, but at the expense of hardness (i.e. scratch resistance).


I'm not a fan of the glass back, but I would put it in a case. The glass used is meant to be scratch resistant, but not unbreakable.
