Cracked my Thunderbolt without dropping it!

no. Scratch resistant != scratch proof. It's just a nice buzzword that the manufacturers like to have to make people feel all warm and fuzzy and give them a false sense of security.
More good to know stuff.
Just to recap, it's never a good idea to put other objects in the same pocket that has a cell phone with a 4+ inch glass front on it - wow, who'd have thunk?
Ouch that sucks. I'm afraid to do the same. With that 4.3 in screen it's just screaming brake me.
My mom's OG droid has gorilla glass and it hasn't scratched since she got it on launch day but mine happens to crack 2 months after I get it? HTC is a scam artist.
Or you should know better than to put something next to your thunderbolt's screen that has a high likelihood of breaking it. You wouldn't put a steel beam on top of your car's windshield, would you?
Question: Was your IPT in a case?
Ok well there's your reason why. Its never a good idea to put ANY gadgets in the same pocket unless you want one of them to get damaged.
.Even in the pocket alone the screen is vulnerable to getting crushed up against the edge of a table or whatever if in your pocket. It sucks, but that's how it is. Even Gorilla Glass can be broken. They never claimed it was completely indestructible!
I had a palm pre and ended up destroying the screen that way. Ran into the corner of a piece of furniture and it caught it in just the right place to crack it in the middle of the screen.
That is no fun. I've had my iPod Nano, my wallet and my Tbolt in the same pocket for some time without issue. I have a case I got from Verizon, but no screen protector.
