is this screen glass or plastic and how easy does it shatter?

It has been through backpacks, dropped and all kinds of stuff. The tablet is very durable, and I haven't messed up the screen yet. I also have a plastic see through film over the screen to protect it. I haven't had any problems with it. I usually keep it in its case.

There are two screens per say. There is a digitizer and a LCD screen. The digitizer is what you touch your fingers to that operate it. The LCD is sealed below that. If the outer screen where you operate it with you finger is cracked then yes. Just know this one is like a plastic and not the glass type. It seems like it will not break and I think it's better having my 2 year old mostly on it. If you want the glass type it will say it and you will see a price difference.

None of it is glass, it is plastic and still capable of cracking if dropped. The plastic is not sturdy as others seem to think it is. If you drop it on a hard surface, it will be damaged in some way, if not unusable.

Yes, best screen I've ever had. I unfortunately fell the first night I used it and I have a crack in it but the good thing is, the screen didn't shatter

It is made of plastic, so it's light and a little bendable. I'm sure if you bend this hard enough, it will break (but not shatter).

Mine shattered and luckily the original screen was perfect! We used a razor blade and gently scraped it off. It was easy.

The screen is exactly like the iphone screen currently on the phone. It is not plastic and will crack like the actually OEM screen. So be careful!

It's made of a hard plastic. And the inside is a rubber case . Would not recommend to buy cracked my screen on the first drop

The glass is sturdy. Be certain to pack it up with good padding as you would with any fragile, glass item. Also, be sure to dismantle base from screen. It would certainly break away if you omit this step.

Glass, but not the toughest glass around.Be delicate with this kitEdit: im pretty sure its glass due to the way it cracked, just my guess.

It's very easy to remove. No residue. When I first placed it on the glass I was able to pull it off immediately to correct some air bubbles. But please note: after about 2 months I accidentally pulled it up (it was stupid of me really), and it cracked the corner. Overall I would purchase this glass time and time again to save damaging my screen. Since I like to resell my phones and upgrade on a regular basis this is worth the investment.

It is plastic however fairly rigid. Our lab would constantly rip our screen door when he wanted to come in. It has solved our problem. No matter how much he jumps on the door the screen is safe. Hope this helps

The screen is covered by a layer of clear plastic. Not sure it will protect it much against impacts but will protect from scratches.

It is the actual glass screen. I read that the others that I searched where plastic and not glass. I would highly recommend this one. Just be very careful when you're removing the broken screen from your cell. If you don't "melt" the glue with the hairdryer long enough, you will cause scratches on the LCD. I have some tiny scratches from when I replaced it, but not that noticeable. I hope that helps. Good luck!

I've dropped mine a few times with no damage to screen. Not hard drops, mostly indoors. A corner drop on concrete would probably break the glass. I really like this case. It's thin, but still gives some protection. I usually use a snap on shell, but I like this because the buttons are easier to feel with this case. Hope that helps.

it is plastic, but responds easily and doesn't require pressure to move. I haven't had any problems or worry that it might be too fragile.

The screen appears to be reasonably flexible, sturdy, and is much like the screens on all monitors produced these days. I think that it is not likely to break unless given a sharp strike. I'd use the packing it is shipped in to protect it when moving. Surprisingly, I could find no information online regarding the type of glass. Perhaps you could find out more about its characteristics by contacting the manufacturer or Corning.
