I thought for sure Gorilla Glass would be a lot better.... a lot tougher.

The glass is fine, it's the AMOLED display that's under the glass that broke.

The panel itself? Weird. Dump that otterbox, seems like its not doing a sufficient job.

There is no way to prevent that. The best case would not protect vibrations from rupturing internal components. As you stated, the external glass was not damaged but the internal component under it ruptured.

Gorilla glass doesn't help with breaking, rather it makes it more scratch proof.

That sucks that it happened in an otterbox case. I thought those were the toughest cases around....

Just figured it was not easy to break lol

What "things" are that? Phone was dropped. Things break when they are dropped. Just like the S4 Active, people were not properly checking the seal and were water damaging their phones and complaining about how it's Samsungs fault and not their own. Which in turn caused many to think the Active was not a good phone. Unfortunately things happen...

There are so many variables when it comes to drops. Even in a case I baby the hell out of my phones.

They probably are. They are top-notch anti-scratch protectors. And they can look gorgeous (depending on your taste). But because they are hard-shell they don't protect against drops, bumps or hits. If you want that too in addition to anti-scratch then you need a shock-absorbing soft-shell case of e.g. silicone.

I m happy I paid the 89$ physical damage coverage on mine since I saw my boyfriend breaking his HTC One (which i had luckily under the same coverage). The parts aren't that expensive but they really are a pain in.... to change.
