Corning Inc. recently unveiled its newest version of Gorilla Glass, which protects cellphones, tablets and dozens of other electronics from disaster.

The new formula, dubbed Gorilla Glass 5, was specifically formulated to decrease the probability of shattering when dropped from waist or shoulder height, which accounts for two-thirds of all phone slipups.

Gorilla Glass 5 survives up to 80 percent of drops from this height, the upstate glass company said.

While this super-strong glass has not yet hit the market, the first phones that feature Gorilla Glass 5 are scheduled to start showing up on shelves in the next few months.
