Mohs Scale of hardness; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohs_scale_of_mineral_hardness

Aluminum is a relatively soft metal though there are some highly durable alloys. It is unfortunate that they haven't case-hardened the backs, but I imagine the thermal fluctuations would make tolerances a difficult matter. Using Oxides or ceramics is a great solution, but expensive. Ceramics can be extremely hard (scratch resistant) but in metals, there are always trade-offs. Hardness adds brittleness. dented or shattered?

I like the idea of an effective use of polymers, the reference to glock materials... I like that. And you wouldn't have to outright buy a mining operation in Australia to make it happen either.

[citation][nom]captainblacko[/nom]the majority of iphone users seem to spend ££/$$'s on those snap on cases anyway. Why would apple waste money manufacturing something which will most likely get covered....or was this apples plan all along......[/citation]

Don't worry, Apple will release a bumper for it that fixes this issue.
$30 of course.

this is called making something as cheap as possible(even underpaying manufacturer). make phone for $200(?) and profit on the pretty thing sold at $650. oh, and suggesting an investment of around $50 to manufacture a case that competition wont roast you about is forbidden! WE NEED TO MAKE A $400-$450 PROFIT!

honestly if apple werent so stingy and greedy, and invested in actually making a good/durable product, they wouldnt have nearly as much bashing. the 4S had flimsy glass that shattered easily and this iphone 5 has a flimsy aluminum casing that dents and scratches. Ive personally seen 2 year olds do MUCH worse with a phone, and if a that girl did that much damage in such short time, then in a home wth all the tools at a kids disposal and throwing capabilities, the phone is doomed.

Companies only get big by providing something that people want. Not one business have ever succeeded in proving this concept wrong.[/citation]

Companies also get big via mergers, government subsides, and sometimes illegal practices.
Large multnational corporations in general are not good for society compared to homegrown small business... aka the walmart effect

[citation][nom]classzero[/nom]And Android people don't use cases? Oh wait I see it everyday! I find it hard to believe that all these companies would make cases for Android if no one bought them! - Stop the Hate.[/citation]

where does he say anything about android users and cases... what he said is a statement of fact...
someone sounds like a little apple fanboy that got his little heart broken

Well, apparently logging in makes your post go "poof". Anyways, here's the gist of what I'd typed up earlier.
Based on the back being perfectly smooth and shiny, it looks like Apple grew the thinnest layer of anodizing possible so that they could call it that. If they'd grown a thicker layer, it'd be very scratch resistent. But then, in that case it wouldn't be all smooth and shiny which is the Apple way. Instead, it'd have been scratch resistant, not shiny, and grippy. I guess they wanted to go the cheapest route possible in order to preserve their >300% profit margins...

PEOPLE, WE ARE ALL MISSING THE POINT OF THIS VIDEO!

It is a precursor for the test I've been saying we should run for weeks before the iPhone 5 even came out: Is it bullet-proof?
TEST DETAILS
-Round up iSheep. The more, the better.
-Have iSheep hold phones to their heads.
-Test the iPhone 5's ability to stop bullets of varying calibers and at different ranges.

It's a win-win. Either it IS bullet-proof, or the only thing we've lost of value is Siri's ability to annoy other people in the elevator.
