Saw a TikTok earlier where someone drops it on its face, and then takes off the shattered "cover". It shatters clean, containing all of the glass in a unit that doesn't cut you, and it's still perfectly usable once that cover is removed.
I wonder how much Apple would charge to replace that glass cover. Since it's only glued around the edges and has no active components bonded to it (unlike most phone screens) it shouldn't be too difficult or expensive in the grand scheme of things, but who knows what the mark-up is like.
I just realised that people are probably going to end up wrapping their Vision Pros in hideous TPU cases aren't they. Like phones, where the "premium" glass backs end up entombed in cheap rubber because the "premium" material is slippery and explodes if you drop it.
