You might be longing to fondle your new iPhone 5 lovingly, but there are people out there who just want to break them—as a public service, of course.

In fact, both tests show that you basically have to actively try to break your phone to cause any serious damage. It also, for what it’s worth, holds up much better than the Galaxy S III (below). That’s no excuse to start throwing your iPhone 5 around like a $200 on-contract football, but you can rest assured that this year’s model isn’t made of glass, literally or figuratively.
