First, I give them credit on this one.

Second, I wonder if the touch screen will function with a cracked glass with the new integrated touch sensor in the LCD. I assume so, since the LCD isn't actually breaking, but just the glass. We'll see when it happens to someone.

I understand. I will get the lumia 920 if it really is coming to Verizon (leaked roadmap says yes but we will see), but you have to give apple credit. The Nokia lumia 800 has been branded as one of the toughest phones out. The lumia 900 fallows the same design principles so I expect it to be tough. Apple has taken what used to be an extremely fragile phone and made it one tough cookie.

I'm impressed.

It's a shame that such a good looking phone has to be covered but you have to do what you have to do right?

It's nice that they did away with the back glass on the iPhone5 had so many friends that cracked that more than the screen...as far as the S3 which I have the housing of the phone leaves a lot to be improved, wish it was more like my old verizon RAZR...but the case I have for it is awesome...urban armor gear :)
