Tough but not tough enough

Kyocera Customer Support - 29 days ago
Thank for your feedback. When designing DuraForce PRO 3, our engineering team carefully considered which material to use for the display and chose to use a strengthened glass instead of sapphire. The scratch resistance of the strengthened glass has improved over the years, so that it is almost as scratch resistant as sapphire, while still being more shatter resistant. In addition, it has better optical properties, including lower reflectivity, better transmittance, and improved color gamut & contrast. So, DuraForce PRO 3 display will look better and be easier to see clearly in bright light while consuming less battery for the backlighting. Furthermore, DuraForce PRO 3 is designed and tested to withstand drops of up to 1.5m onto concrete, however, we do realize that screens can break under certain scenarios. Our rugged phones come with Kyocera’s Standard 2-Year Manufacturer’s Warranty. The damage to your phone may be covered under the warranty, but we would need to examine it to make that determination. To learn more about our warranty, please contact our customer support team at 1-800-349-4478, or online at kyoceramobile.com/contactus/support/.
