If you have a smartphone, you have had it happen. You drop it. You hope and pray as you bend down to pick it up that the screen will be OK. Until one day, it isn’t. The screen is shattered, and you will have to pay a good chunk of cash to fix it! Wouldn’t you love the feeling of knowing you’re well protected? Now you can have that, with Corning® Gorilla® Glass 4.

Gorilla Glass 4 dramatically improves protection against drops. It’s the newest in tough glass technology from Corning Incorporated. In laboratory tests, Gorilla Glass 4 survives up to 80% of the time when dropped from 3 feet high, and was up to 2x tougher than competitive glass designs.

I’m happy to say that my phone, which is a Samsung S3, is protected by Gorilla Glass! 4 billion devices across more than 40 brands are as well–so it’s a good chance yours is!

With Gorilla Glass 4, the focus is on improving damage resistance against sharp contact, such as a drop on asphalt, concrete, and other rough surfaces.  My 6 year old has dropped my phone plenty of times–on concrete parking lots, tile floors, and more–and my screen has never cracked at all. I’ve had my phone nearly two years, which is a lifetime when it comes to technology!

No one wants to have to endure the dreaded screen shatter, so look into Gorilla Glass 4 today and help protect your device.
