Of Course I know these kind of tests aren't reliable, but it give you an idea of how strong Gorilla Glass 3 is
I would go even further and say not only are these knife and key tests unreliable, they're pretty much useless.Of Course I know these kind of tests aren't reliable

That is lovely! I do not understand how scratch tests are unreliable? I think that this is even more extreme than the phone being in my pocket with keys or change. And knowing I wont have to worry about it, is great! I don't normally put rocks or sand in my pockets, and if I did, my phone would not also be in there....
Then cue the 85 threads posted immediately after launch that go a little something like this...
"OMG Gorilla Glass sucks so bad, had it for 4 hours, already scratched 8 times! What a joke! I'm getting a [insert random device that user doesn't realize has the same glass but thinks it will be impervious anyway]"
It's a fact of life in these parts .
I think your wrong about this one...Gorilla Glass is actually pretty strong

Everything scratches. And you will see threads about scratches. Such behavior is as reliable as the sun rising in the east and setting in the west. It could be made from sapphires and the tears of saints and still, somehow, people will scratch it.
Water doesn't scratch lol
But I'm sure there will be someone who drops it off a bridge or accidentally drops it out of a moving vehicle and it may scratch...point of the matter is I don't think it would scratch easily even in ur pocket
I am not saying that rocks and sand wont scratch it. I am saying those things wont be in my pocket with it... ;-)
I laugh inside when people say things like that. Do you have any idea how easy it is to end up with miniscule particles of dirt and sand in your pocket? I could go flip the pockets in a pair of my jeans right now and I guarantee you that, other than lint, there will also be small particles of dust, dirt, and sand. And no, I have never been to a beach, I don't play in sand boxes or the dirt, and I don't even have a job where I could leave the house and be introduced to those particles. Even sliding your phone across a surface which has minute dirt and dust particles could scratch the screen, without you even being able to see those particles. It is scratch tests that test the particles harder than gorilla glass 3 that will give you a realistic idea of how well the glass will hold up. And yes, those particles happen to be sand, and dirt and dust that contain small rock particles.

Can't have dirt in your pockets if you don't wear pants to begin with .
