Actually...I dropped my phonw between the seats in my truck and it simply bounced off the center console and landed on the steel frame of the seat. This put a nice little scratch on it that does not buff out. I believe this video is a bit decieving on how he is using the knife...try using the point of the knife not the edge.

@chiptify I'm not decieving anyone. The knife doesn't scratch it, no matter how I do it.

What it sounds like to me is that either your screen found some sand on the way down (Which is very likely in a CAR, especially between the center console and the seat, which is the hardest to clean), or it hit the steel frame hard enough to chip it. Note that I didn't say scratch, because while glass does chip, steel will always have a hard time cutting any glass, unless it's a hardened steel file.

Thank god someone finally put a video up for the Eris.

I owned an iPhone before this and figured the screen was made of the same material, and the first thing I did was take a pocket knife to (a non-LCD corner of) the screen and it didn't scratch at all.

Your tests were a tad rougher, and pretty confidence inspiring w/ regards to the toughness of the phone.
