Assuming that there is a breakthrough producing sheets - how are they going to use the sheets to replace say titanium? I haven't even made it all the way through Dan's thread yet but somewhere I read or heard that if you wrap a coffee cup in a sheet of graphene, it would support the weight of a car. I also heard or read that it would support an elephant on top of a pencil balanced on a sheet of graphene. Say you had sheet of this wrapping your phone or in the screen, if the analogies are accurate, it would seem that you could make a nearly indestructible iPhone. On top of all this, you have the unique conductivity properties. And from what I have read so far it is not that difficult producing sheets it is just not that cost effective for most things yet.
