Flex testing iPad glass

Looked good but one comment.
You are creating a stress concentration where your fingers which will prematurely cause the glass to fail. It would proberly be better to test flex by grabbing the edge with a clamp and a lever and see if you can form a circle with the screen.

But the real question is ... does it blend?

Compare that video to this launch announcement for Dragontrail glass (link below) and it seems to confirm the rumor that the iPad 2 is using this new glass:

Get an Ipad 1 and iPad 2, place them on a flat surface and drop something on them. That's the only real-world test that means anything. Testing the glass outside of the housing in which it's placed means nothing.

Agree annoying to just post to video. Also, this was just flex testing, should have done impact testing.

Soundtrack == Reel Big Fish covering Sublime's Boss DJ. Off their album "Cheer Up!".

I hate articles that link solely to a video I can't watch, with no content other than "Hey, watch this!". Anyone care to spoil it for me?

Cool video, would be even better if the text overlay didn't cover the portion of the screen that's most important to see.

How can glass bend that much!? Unbelievable!

Interesting test, but just because it will deflect more, it doesn't mean it will be better. If you are deflecting it that much, it will probably break the video screen. A piece of clear plastic wrap would not break in these deflection tests, but it certainly wouldn't protect your video screen.

I think either screen will preform fine in real world conditions, with the advantage going to the one that is thinner and lighter, but not because of deflection results.
