PC World has manhandled Apple’s iPhone, stuffing it into bags of keys and rubbing keys all over the device, “When the iPhone emerged with its screen just as pristine as when it went in, we then attempted to gouge the screen with one of the keys. We were very impressed that even this deliberate attempt to scratch the screen completely failed.”

PC World then dropped Apple iPhone onto a concrete sidewalk from head height, as if they’d been talking on the phone and reports, “The iPhone not only continue to work after each drop test, impressively it still looked good as well… It came out without a scratch on its glass screen, despite our best efforts to mar it in repeated tests of both types… There’s no need to coddle this sexy little device.”
