Maybe, but unless the glass is extremely shatterproof, not a good idea.

what happens should you drop it?

"...maximum durability but also weight savings..."

Because, when I think of durability and weight savings, glass immediately springs to mind.

They break too easy as it is

That should shatter any misconceptions about Apple’s thoughts on product maintenance.

Every I Phone I see not in a protective cover is shattered. So if there is a weight savings it better include a cover.

Plain old clear Castolite would be a better material.
It’s extremely cheap as well. You could pop off the old case if it got too beat up and get a new one for a few bucks.

I wouldn’t have anything that stupid!

I remember that store in the 80s that had all that see thru stuff. Fun too look at, never bought anything. They went under, apparently I wasn’t the only one that thought see thru stuff was only cool for 5 minutes.

Seems like I remember Apple selling a lot of computers that were see through. The original iMac in all those transparent fruity colors. Apple is a “think different” company for sure. That has its advantages and disadvantages. I mean who spends $$$ on designing the inside of a product so it will be esthetically pleasing even when most people will never see? Yet, they do. I think Apple likes to, ideally, build products that they like. They probably only sell them to the rest of us just so they can keep on building stuff that “they” like.
