I find it's mostly how it hits.

I have literally thrown my phone over my shoulder into the road without a scratch.

The one and only time I broke one it slipped from my hand getting off the couch and dropped maybe 6 inches onto carpet. It hit just right.

A friend of mine uses these and swears by them.

It's sorta like smashing a car window. Hard to do if you hit it in the middle but cake if you tap it in a corner.
