I often wonder why they don't make plastic screens with replaceable glass screen protectors. Scratch resistant and smooth to the fingers up top, and shatterproof on the actual expensive screen.
Maybe it doesn't work for some reason (visually less pretty?), or maybe fragile screens drive up profits?
A lot of screens are plastic underneath, they're just laminated to the glass
This dramatically boosts strength, clarity, brightness, and sensitivity to touch
Consumers voted overwhelmingly against plastic (resistive) screens decades ago
Plastic
backs however were a manufacturer-led "solution"
