I now have first-hand confirmation that the 4G Slide does not have Gorilla Glass.
As a side note, anybody know if the glass is bonded to the LCD screen?

so bad news... i knew it wasn't gorilla glass but hoped it was another kind of reinforced glass...
how did it happen?
It was in my shirt pocket wrong, and I bent over to get my dropped keys, it fell out and hit the sidewalk just right.
so not even a fall from too high, sad
I dropped mine from about 5' onto a marble subway platform without a scratch. Maybe I was just very lucky. The back flew off and battery fell out, but put them back on and no problems.

i've never personally had a phone with gorilla glass, but everybody tells me that they have had horrible experiences with it and it seems to be less durable. any thoughts?
I own a galaxy s2 und I have nothing wrong to say about the gorilla glass.
I dropped mine (as others it seems) from my pocket while bending down to grab something.
I got scratches on the frame but Nothing happened to the glass.
I am everything BUT disappointed.

Today was the first day that I really cleaned my screen on transformer. I have had for three weeks and am very careful with it. Today I noticed a centimeter sized scratch in the middle. Here is my question. I am a hella lot rougher with my droidx and it never gotten a scratch on the screen. The droid x I have now is about 6 months old still nothing. Aren't they supposed to have the same screen. Gorilla glass I think. Did anyone else notice a scratch on theirs? I can't return it because I got it from Tiger Direct. Honestly it ins't a big deal I am just picky. I do have one coming from amazon this week though. Hmm...

I bet its not a scratch, as I've thought the same thing before. Take your nail and put it over a microfiber cloth, then try to scratch it off. I bet its build up

If it is a scratch, you need to think about removing your Mr. T gold bling jewellery before you use your tablet. Diamonds, etc don't play nice with gorilla glass.
If you only noticed the scratch AFTER you had cleaned the screen, could be that you scratched it with the cleaning cloth.
I don't wear jewelry.
It's really a scratch too. I tried scraping it off with my finger nail. I honestly have no clue how I got it. Maybe they don't use as thick as screen as my droid x. I really baby my transformer and bam a scratch.

I doubt it. I actually used wipes made for electronics. I meant as in its the first time i got rid of my finger prints.
I also had a tiny scratch in the center of mine that I did not notice until I turned it off and cleaned it. Everything else came off the screen. It also was in the middle of the screen. Mine was only a day old, so I called BJ's Wholesale and returned it. I wouldn't have cared if it was anywhere else on the screen. It was so small it was hard to tell if it was a scratch or possibly an imperfection under the screen. I am hoping my next one won't have the same thing.
See, to those people who say "Gorilla Glass doesn't scratch"!
Still need a screen protector.

I was a firm believer of that because my droid x never had a scratch.
So i'm guessing no but can this be covered under asus' warranty?
Probably not because it isn't a manufacturing defect.

Didn't think so.. Still might try. The body cracks like when I hold it. I noticed it from using it in the sun. It heated up and got loose. I don't know if you know what I mean but it is like it melted the glue.
Looking to fix a broken LCD screen on my Infuse 4G. The screen still works just has a crack. I know I don't need a full assembly, digitizer or LCD backlite, all I need is the top glass. I can't find anyone who sells just the glass everyone wants to sell the assembly for $200+. Is there glass part available or am I screwed? I've replaced iphone 3gs screens b4 anyone have experience with the infuse?
How'd you break the screen? Also if the glass is broken its not the lcd presumably? Although if it is the lcd I'd think $200 is about what it would cost to replace. The phone is supposed to have gorilla glass that like won't break, right?
Gorilla glass can and will break, just not as easily as normal glass.

Just spoke with Samsung at 1-888-987-4357.
They will repair for $155.
Seems like the way to go if needing repair.
As far as I know, samoled screens are fused with the glass over it. thats why you can only buy the entire screen/glass/digitizer as one part.
Good thing about this design is better sunlight viewability and no dust under the glass
Hey guys, just a general question about tempered glass protectors, is it generally okay to keep a slightly cracked tempered glass protector on a device? There are layers above and below the actual glass correct?
In the picture is a Zerolemon Tempered Glass protector on my tablet, however I also have tempered glass on my nexus 5, so I'd like to know for possible future reference. Thanks!

I'm just slightly concerned about the slightly cracked protector coming in contact with the actual screen. I checked the other side and the bottom layer where the adhesive is and it seems normal and not damaged, same with the top most layer.

It could scratch if it was loose and rubbing up against the screen, but I can't see any other issues myself. That said, I'm hardly an authority on this
i had a MIME tempered glass screen protector that cracked from the ear piece hole... used it for months, the cracks grew bigger, eventually i got a new one from them. when i removed it, it was perfect underneath
The new one i have also cracked it from a small drop, and i am sure it will be fine underneath

had this spigen tempered glass on mine since I 1st got it;
it's developed cracks all along the upper part, but I believe the screen is ok.. I'm not taking it off any time soon..
I bought a Hydrogel Film screen protector about a month after receiving my S10+ about two years ago. I wanted to replace it now with a new one that I purchased off aliexpress. Now, I can't seem to remove the Hydrogel film screen protector on my S10+. Not to mention I don't even notice that its even on there anymore. Theres not even a screen protector outline that you would notice on normal screen protectors. DId some google and found that some comment from quora says that the hydrogel film screen protector is embedded to the glass on your phone and nothing to remove?
How did you guys remove it? or are hydrogel film protectors are not removeable at all once applied?
Peel it off. The bond isn't that great.
Should come off in one piece.
Don't scratch the screen be being stupid using a razor blade etc. Fingernails...
70/30 Isopropyl alcohol may help once you get some of it separated or to clean the glass.
Water may work better.

No, there is literally nothing that would indicate there is a hydrogel film protector installed on the phone. It looks like the screen is unprotected. But I know 110% that it was installed because I did it myself. There is nothing to peel off, I have literally tried every corner and edge of the screen and near the speaker. I purchased the screen protector here two years agohttps://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000437704322.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4ds7qHH1

What ist the question?
Why are you showing us a perfectly good screen protector?
I am inferring that either the undamaged Whitestone Dome had mysteriously caused the glass to crack on their Pixel 6 Pro or that their Pixel 6 Pro's glass cracked when their applied Whitestone Dome glass screen protector had been damaged/cracked .
Regardless, they must've gotten a new phone and/or a new Whitestone Dome?
The mystery thickens lol.
Maybe their screen protector was so strong that the glass cracked before the protector did?
Sorry the dome on pixel 7 has cracked uh hate being dyslexic sorry

My Whitestone got a small hairline crack in it that runs in a wave shape across the screen 2 days after I put it on. I never knew there was a warrantee. I still need to put the 2nd one on that came in the package.
Also, I saw the OP's crack immediately lol
