Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
I've heard the glass is also quite bendy, compared to normal glass.
Plastic is usually scratchy. Glass is much better about resisting scratches. I believe you're, right, modem phone glass is pretty flexible. It's also (usually) coated with something that prevents finger oils from building up easily.
A good old keming issue in the wild!
Still, the choice of glass is clearly cosmetic (less prone to scratch, nicer look, premium feel), buy technically plastic presents more advantages, it is lighter, absorbes shocks, fairly durable, much cheaper. To make for the most reliable device it would be better, but we know that's not a priority for any of the manufacturers, and propably also for many customers.
Eh, I would argue that having a scratched screen goes beyond a cosmetic issue. It tangibly downgrades your experience.
Plastic scratches much easier than glass cracks.
I have nothing against glass screen, but glass back-side I find rather stupid, and pretty standard nowdays.
Gimme a plastic screen and I'll put a glass screen protector on it.
I managed to bend an iPad trying to pull it out of a case, can confirm it’s got some flex to it
