I wish it was possible to buy a phone with the option of a screen who’s glass was optimised for toughness rather than hardness, or at least an aftermarket replacement.

I can live with a screen protector, but broken glass is the bane!

I would assume "rugged(ized)" phone series have this sort of tradeoffs

I have a ruggedised case on my phone. Trade-offs hey.

Apple don’t make a ruggedised phone, if I wanted that I’d have to by an Android.

I would buy an Android, but I don’t want to.
