Don't get me wrong. As with anything, glass is definitely flexible. But it's not flexible enough at this scale (unless, of course, the glass is made super thin).
I'd be willing to bet that the surface layer is just some sort of "hardened," "scratch-resistant" plastic layer.

Cool, good to know. How do screen protectors affect the sensitivty of the screen however?
