I suddenly want to brick my iPhone...

No, really.

I wonder just how they made that work. If it can do just a part of what was shown on the video (protect the glass from being shattered by hammering), I'm sold.

BS. Who would hammer an iphone, toss a brick at it or even slam a mug multiple times? We all know dropping an ip4 on the floor accidentally is what breaks it!

Yeah, because dropping the phone on the floor obviously creates more of an impact than throwing a brick at it!

But seriously, I am still amazed. How did they make that work?

Protective material. There's a link in the youtube video. Buff Technologies.

But actually, sort of - when a phone hits the floor on its corner, it concentrates the force at the point of impact.
