G+_jhb nexus072013 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Here is a question for the general section. What do you think of a using the Gorilla Glass all around the phone. I ask more to talk about a new style and design opportunities rather then then the simple x-ray theme. I wonder if this will make the phones more durable? Would it be more expensive? too difficult to engineer? How would the weight be affected? I am not entirely sure how the glass is produced, if it could be molded, it could again open creative and fresh designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Peter Frazier Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 really? cool. truly amazing product. as soon as you can embed electronics directly into the glass then we can sit back and watch geeks heads explode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Peter Frazier Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 i was thinking of a paint on the inside of the glass facing out would have an amazing look. thinking of using all glass to replace the plastic underneath.. or some other more anarchy style's form factors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Cole Brodine Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I'd love to know what kind of affect it would have on the antenna to make a phone entirely out of glass like that. It could eliminate some of the issues caused by using metallic coverings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Cole Brodine Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Nick Barlow - I was hoping that it would improve the antenna reception over something like the iPhone 4 where they used that metallic band. I like the idea of using all glass if it is durable enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
