Ahh! You think after reading the passage on the left created by apple. 20 times siffer and 30 times harder than plastic! The alumiesuiwhatsitsname glass is even used in helicopters and high-speed trains! However, it turns out that the iPhone 4 is actually more prone to breakage than other smartphones, because there is glass on the front and back of the phone. And now Apple is facing a class action lawsuit for this. Here's what Mac Rumors says about the topic:
Apparently fed up and pissed off, California resident Donald LeBuhn filed a class action lawsuit earlier this week in L.A. County against Apple, claiming the company knows about the design flaw and refuses to warn consumers that "normal" use leads essentially to a broken phone.
According to his lawsuit, first reported by Courthouse News Service, LeBuhn threw down $252 in September for a new iPhone 4, but three weeks later the glass broke when his daughter accidentally dropped it approximately three feet to the ground while sending a text message.
He previously owned a 3GS version of the iPhone and claims the glass did not break when accidentally dropped from similar heights.

So, Apple, before you get into this fancy dual-core stuff with the iPhone 5 (see post "Updated iPad 2 and iPhone 5 Rumors!"), maybe you'll think about taking the glass of the back!
