how is slamming it on the corner of the aquarium enough to break it while reportedly hammering in a nail is not? maybe because he was doing it to the screen itself? eh...

I mean the phone is still gonna work.... he just broke the LCD. I don't think there's any way to really protect an LCD and still letting it be visible. maybe bulletproof glass or something.

So in conclusion, it's impossible except for the possible way?

About $10 to $50 more, depending on the material used.

The best thing out of all of this has nothing to do with the phone. It's that BBC's volume on their media player goes to 11. Awesome.

I like the reporter's face at the very end where he looks into the camera with the "I just fucked up their marketing campaign" face.
