Since the iPhone 4 was originally leaked, there has been much talk of the new housing/glass and how tough it REALLY is. Packed into the gorgeous titanium housing is what’s called “Gorilla Glass”, which is stated as “chemically strengthened” to be “20 times stiffer and 30 times harder than plastic”. That’s all well and good, but as the saying goes; talk is cheap. I for one would never do this, but IfixyourI has decided to take it upon themselves to do a drop durability test on the iPhone 4 to see what kind of punishment it would take before shattering. Take a look at the video below

As you can see, after 4 drops the glass shatters at the bottom. Although, a person dropping the phone 4 times in a row (without ANY sort of skin or case cover) is both unrealistic and careless, it gives a bit of piece of mind knowing that for such an expensive sleek device it can take a beating.
