Despite being 27 per cent thinner, the iPad 2's glass panel came out top.

Some of you may complain about the iPhone 4 being weaker than its predecessor, passing off the phone's surprising airplane plunge survival as fluke. But it's good to know Apple hasn't reduced the iPad 2's strength to make it thinner. Well, its screen, at least. ®
