Am I the 1st person to destory their Droid?

Saturday morning I managed to produce one of the most amazing rag doll physics demos ever with my phone. I was texting in portrait view and tripped causing it to flip end over end at a ridiculous pace. Only to result in 4 solids bounces on the corners, and a face plant on the only rock in the road. None of the bounces phased my phone, but the face plant spider cracked my screen. So gogo action insurance lol. 80$ later and 2 days with the 1st busted phone in Florida and I'm back in action.

Weird thing is even though I demolished the glass on the screen the touch screen reacted as if it wasn't broken so the phone was still 100% functional. Just hurt a tad to scroll in the browser if i pressed down too hard.

So in the random demolition of my phone I found out the casing is as strong as steel when it comes to direct impacts. but the glass screen is only good against scratches and such.Direct force it's just like any other ceramic material bad.
