How strong is the glass? I move a lot and things tend to get broken but I have next to no experience with tempered glass

This scale and the glass is quite sturdy. Standing on it poses no problems at all; however, I can't say how this would hold up under heavy moving. I think as long as you pack it well, it should be fine. Hope this helps!

Sorry, I can't give good opinion on this particular scale as mine arrived defective and I returned it. I have an older scale with tempered glass and have had no problems with it however it is glass so if you are knocking things about you might have to get an old fashioned metal scale.

John ... I have had mine about 18 months now and although I don't know if the glass is tempered, it was money well spent and I would buy another one today. I bought it to replace a table that was 7 or more x's the price but was too big for my new condo and I actually like this one much better.

This product is very good but glass itself is not really strong. So I think it won't be a good idea.

I would NOT. Tempered Glass goes without warning and is quite explosive when it does. You end up with 40 pounds of glass that looks like dog kibble :)All you would have to do is rock it during a heavy gaming session and there would be no crack, snap or other warning. Just a huge pile of broken glass and 3 monitors sitting in your lap.

It is very strong and does not tear easily. This is the 2nd phone I have used it on. I did have issues with installation on my present phone, called the company. They sent a new piece out ASAP. IT is NOT tempered glass but does add a layer of strength to the phone glass. I would buy it again and use it on another phone.

It is extremely heavy due to the glass. IKEA sell these for $69 each. You can buy on-line from the IKEA store so I assume they are OK for shipping. We bought ours from an IKEA store and loaded into our vehicle. It is toughened glass so should not break. No guarantees :)

It doesn't feel like it's brittle, so I don't think it'd crack or shatter. I'd be careful anyway, maybe even buy a spare one. That's also a GENIUS idea, good luck!

The glass for once is not Gorilla Glass 3 like on the original. I am not even sure it is tempered glass. It will crack after the first drop. Mine did, while being in a good case - slipped from my pocket, fell on wood floor hitting the corner, the screen has a single crack in it. Thankfully the digitizer is still working.

Not sure if it's tempered glass it's not very thick but it is pretty durable my 2yo grandson has dropped mine from at lest 3feet and it did not crack. I now have a protector sheet on it and a hard case with silicone to protect it. It will hold up pretty well with normal wear and tear.

I've dropped my phone several times in the case, and the glass is unbroken and case undamaged. I have not had a single issue. The back will get scratched up, but my phone is still working great!

I just broke mine yesterday dunking. Two handed. Lowered it to 8.5 feet and was just having fun when snap, the glass completely shattered. $100-200 for new plexi. Haven't gotten to pricing out a sheet of replacement tempered glass from Spalding but I doubt it's cheap! I'm only 165 lbs but it was only 40*F outside so maybe that contributed. An expensive whoops but let that serve as a warning to other users that it's no pro system.

I suggest you bring the glass in during the winter months. I did not and the glass all broke and I had a difficult time getting all the pieces picked up. Learned a lesson, will bring in my new one next year.

It seems pretty strong, but it is glass and I could see it breaking if a heavy enough object fell into it hard.

it's pretty sturdy. i mean, if u slam ur phone down on something or get unlucky and drop it on the glass then it might brake but i've had mine slip outta my grasp a few times and it has held up.

It's not as thick as it seems. I have the iPhone 5s and the fingerprint sensor works perfectly. Overall I found it to be a good price for tempered glass.

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.

Mine weighs 5.5 lbs. I have a tempered glass palette in it. All-in-all I've really liked it so far.
