(This has some grounds in reallity, so this very well is a post for brain storming). By not violating, i mean no creeping on others in their privatee places. Consider your selves owners of a factory which produces metallic objects which are transparent (properties similar to aluminium) what could be a product which could get you huge profits.

I would also like you to ignore the easiest option to make displays (for phones, laptops etc) which are much more tensile and durable.

    Obvious answer is probably safety glass. If it outperformed current bullet resistant glass, it could make some people safer. Structural glass would also be good, so you could have better storm windows, greenhouses, etc. It also would be useful for making inspection easier in some cases. Pressurized vessels could have more visibility or more structural strength. Aquariums could be less bulky.

      Aquariums would not get less bulky, but we would not have catastrophic failure

        Depends. If the metal is stronger than the glass it could be thinner, which is not that big of a deal in home aquariums, but aquariums, in the sense of a place one goes to look at fish, have huge, thick walls of glass to hold back the millions of gallons of water. If you could get that same strength with thinner material you could have a smaller footprint/more viewer space or a bigger tank with less reinforcement.
