Re: This story does not support the "nothing to see here" argument
Overengineering is a fail, as is under engineering. All of the phones tested seem to be in the ballpark for reasonable use cases. Just as we don't design consumer cars to withstand rounds from an AK-47, neither should we design teephones to withstand rigors way outside normal use parameters.
If you idiot enough to bend your phone, that's pretty much your problem.
