That's why it isn't a problem. There is an easy, relatively inexpensive solution to keeping scratches off your screen; slap a protector on it. If you don't like the feel of the plastic ones, get a glass protector (which I highly recommend anyhow), which not only feel like the stock glass screen, but the good ones are cut to be nearly indistinguishable from the stock screen. The only real tell the one for my Nexus 5 has is the cutouts around the speaker and prox sensor.
Sapphire screens are still going to shatter. And to avoid that requires you to slap what is oftentimes a honkin' big case around the thing. Yes, there are slim cases, but they only marginally improve matters... I have a well-known brand of slim profile case that I've used on my Nexus 5. Had a worst-case drop... on its corner on a tile floor. Yes, without the case, my screen would have been a goner, but as is, the phone took a hard enough hit that a corner of the back cover pulled away.... if it took that much damage, the fact that I didn't end up with a spider's web for a screen comes down to luck and not so much the case.
Besides entertainment or curiosity, what is the point in doing that?I'm going to need him to exert damage beyond "regular use". Thank you very much. Please smash away with said jagged edge rock and take that knife like a narcissistic out of mind blackjack dealer
To put it in perspective, most mid-to-high-end watches use manmade sapphire crystals in lieu of mineral glass or advanced plastic. Mine is sapphire, and I mercilessly submit it to a vast range of scratching and nicking impacts daily, and after two years, I have not even one tiny scratch.
