iPad 2 glass stronger than the original

The recently launched iPad 2 is 33% thinner than its predecessor. The new glass is also thinner by 27% but how does this affect its toughness and durability?

Here’s a video that demonstrates the flexibility of the iPad 2 glass and its predecessor. It was tested by suspending the glass at 1 and 2 inches from the table and pressured in the middle. Surprisingly the new iPad 2 glass is more flexible and less destructible than the original. So tough in fact that you’ll need brute folding force of both hands to crack the glass.

Check out the video after the jump.
