Even though it doesn't have gorilla glass, the screen seems to be scratch resistant. I know because I don't use a screen protector.

Same here, I don't use a screen protector and don't think I need one at this point. I've had my phone for months now, and its been through situations where scratches should be inevitable. The case has a few nicks around the edges, but there is only 1 tiny tiny hairline scratch going across the home button. Not noticeable, I only noticed it when looking at the slight wave of the glass right next to the lamp.

Even though it suppose to be scratch proof, i would still recommend a screen protector.
For who are you saving the screen? To the next owner? Doesn't it look ugly with the screen protector? I have never understand these. I use my phones usually 6-12months. I have got twice a tiny, tiny hair scratch to the screen. One was Gorilla glass (I think it's soooo over hyped), other one just scratch resistant. For my htc hero I never got a scratch in 6 months... I wonder how you treat your phones...
So no I don't use a screen protector, not after Nokia 5800XM which had a plastic screen. And even with that I got bored to the protector and rip it off after few week...

The screen is gorilla glass - no need for screen protectors.

Not easily scratched.
The screen protector takes away from the beautiful viewing of the screen and (I don't care what anyone says) lessens the touch screen responsiveness.
I had a screen protector on my HD2 for a while, and have not been happier since removing it. And I've had Invisibleshield, BodyGuardz and BSG. They all lessen the experience. Since removing the screen protector on my HD2, I have not had a single scratch. And that's after 3 months or less with the screen protector on and 9 months or more with it off.
And what the HD2 has is not as good as what the Sensation will have in Gorilla Glass.
Don't use lame screen protectors man...
I used them on my HD2 like Darnell_Chat_TN for like 3months. Now almost 8 months later I still have 0 scratches on my naked HD2. You just need to look out if you put it in your pocket with keys etc.
I've got a Thunderbolt which is said to have gorilla glass, but some users are still reporting the glass to be getting scratched. There are some very clear screen protectors which you wont even notice on. I recommend you place a screen protector on. Realook is what I've got on mine.
Well I never knew it, but the HTC HD2 does have Gorilla Glass. No wonder the screen is so strong.
No screen protector for me and loving it . Now I know I won't use one on the Sensation after seeing the difference with my HD2!
I think the screen protector on my G2x is one reason I didn't see the brilliance of the IPS/LED screen as much as it was hyped. Had one on my Nexus One before I had the screen replaced for the first time (dust, still a problem).
My wife's Nexus One has endured a LOT of purse-abuse and doesn't really show it. It's amazing how people can scratch these modern screens in daily use.
look in this thread at the screen protectors link. i couldnt link directly as i dont have enough posts.

I am one of the people who likes to be extra careful. Besides, I've seen various types of damage inflicted on the supposedly scratchproof Gorilla Glass, and I just don't buy into the claims made by the company. More durable than conventional glass? Sure it is. Indestructible? Definitely not.
I'll definitely be slapping a screen protector on my Sensation.
+1 for a protector. I am over protective of my devices and it shows. I take the case and screen screen protector off and it's practically brand new.
I take such good care of my stuff that I have a regular clientele of friends and family who buy my old phones off me, because they tell me it's like buying the phone new.
Shouldn't be calling people lame for wanting to protect their stuff. Not everyone on these forums upgrades their phone every 6 months.
Has anyone got a screen protector on their Sensation? I'm just wondering if the bevelled screen effects it.
I use the Boxwave ClearTouch Crystal screen protector on my HD2. I tried about 4 other brands and the Boxwave works best for me. Screen is almost as vibrant with the screen protector as it is without one and the touch sensitivity is fine. It also seemed to be easier to install than the other protectors I tried.

I had my nexus one for a year without a screen protector as well and no scratches what so ever. I used my wifes phone that has a screen protector and I don't like it at all. So no screen protectors for me for this one.
I can't wait for this phone to be released!
Gorilla Glass is not 100% scratchproof ( Proven on my HD2)
well It is really hard to brake.
You can consider buying a nice sleeve for your phone .
It is in my opinion a better solution
What I mean : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ql37A-SgA3A
There is really no need for a screen protector. Care for your phone. It after all a remarkable peace of technology. Not just a toy.
Although I f you want a toy just get a Samsung.
100% Genuine plastic toy feeling.
bought a gel case with screen protector. the screen protector didnt fit. shame as the case is perfect. managed to drop phone on floor by accident outside. not a mark on the screen. will still get screen protector though.

That list says my G2 has Gorilla Glass too. It was a strong screen but it did get a small scratch. So I bought a [URL="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004763E9M]Realook Premium Screen Protector[/URL] it is truly crystal clear and responsive.
Same here, screen film also doesn't fit.

I bought the HTC screen film however the sides around the screen as its kinda lipped up would not apply correctly (bubbled up). Remove this after a few days and found a desire protector, applied it successfully, however obviously its a bit short. bought a case from ebay and it came with a protector, which covers the screen but does not go all the way to the edge, stuck on well and no apparent "bubbles". its ok quality. case is ok silicon case
The other thing I like about the screen protector I have on my HD2 (Hence my preference for screen protectors, is that the matte finish cut down the reflections on the reflective screen. That and I'm a klutz!
Today i hear that gorilla glass is not present in DHD ... it's true ? because today my home keys do a great job on my screen :-( .
How can i replace the glass ????
help !!
Yeah its true, where did you read that it is Gorilla Glass?
..... here ... :-(
see in alternative the picture taken by the official gorilla glass site
***.corninggorillaglass.com/featured-products
No mention of gorilla glass on HTC's own site HERE.
Gorilla glass or not, keys are a guarantee for damaging a lot :-(. First scratch here after 5 months of use, yes keys were the blaim..

GSMArena has the HTC Desire HD as Gorilla Glass, if you had a look around XDA and other forums, you will find that there seem to be a misconception that the HTC Desire HD is actually "not" using Gorilla Glass, but regardless, it still seems to use a certain level of quality surface. To be honest, Gorilla or not, it does also scratches, as seen on my GFs Galaxy S I9000 which definitely uses Gorilla.
Maybe the pre-release/testing ones had Gorilla Glass and then it was changed afterwards as a cost saving exersise?

I also that it had Gorilla Glass

Look under display
Wow this old question again after all this time, does it matter? The screen on your DHD is made of glass, glass scratches deal with it.
hey guys.........
which do u think is the best super amoled or retina display

Retina display is just a name apple name up to sell iphones
retina are basically IPS display, no?
and i don't really know if the DHD has a gorilla glass display,
but my nephew accidentally dropped a XBOX360 controller right on the screen of my INSPIRE 4G (same device) from about 70cm high and absolutely nothing happened.
well it might not be the actual keys that scratched the display but could be grit or sand in the pocket.. metal generally doesn't scratch glass.. there are tons of youtube videos of people using keys and penknives to try to cut glass but it usually doesn't work.
but if you use sand or a sharp rock.. now that's a different story.
I cant find anything online that confirms it does or doesn't. I just upgraded my phones on my Tmo Family plan, 2 of them being the SGS Blaze since my parents don't want the latest and greatest. They are asking if they need a screen protector or not.
Definitely need screen protectors. Its plastic.
I can't confirm. But I'm pretty sure this screen is not plastic. I'm not using a protector only a case, so far screen in great shape....
And sad that I consider this the latest and greatest compared to my old phone
And you getting it for your parents as not greatest Dx aha

Actually, it is glass. Can't confirm if it is Gorilla or not, but its quite durable. Not a single scratch on the glass after a few months of being pocketed near-daily with the occasional coin or keys.
Well mine has scratches, so get a screen protector.

I bought a screen protector and a case for mine. Whether it has gorilla glass or not I'm clumsy and not taking any chances... . Case and protector only cost me about $8 total on Amazon. Only downside to case is it does add a bit of bulk to this sleek phone (probably tripled it's width).

Screen cracked
Hi,
I managed to break the glass of my Blaze yesterday, phone slipped out of my pocket while I was sitting on a concrete slab.
The fall was maybe 10cm / 4", but today I noticed a crack from side to side across the glass.
Fortunately the display and the touch digitizer are not affected, but I'm afraid the crack might get wider over time...
However: no scratches
Gorilla Glass is a brand name made by Corning.
The Blaze does not have that brand of glass (as seen here):
http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/full-products-list
It does seem very durable though so it would appear that it has a competing company's version of Gorilla Glass on it.

Thanks. I ended up putting a screen protector on the phones as a safe guard.
I have at least 4 scrathes on screen((( carried with keys in pocket...I'm sad
How it possiblle? phone 2012y without gorilla?
Thru out the years, I have had phone with gorilla glass and have had no screen protectors ever and have had no scratches ever! Now, I am carful as hell with my phones but my z2 I did the same as I usually do and I did get scratches. Front and back. My only guess is, this was because of the dragontail glass which is not as strong as gorilla glass when it comes to scratches. I do hope that sony went with gorilla glass this time. Anyone know for sure?
PS - I want to say that the Z3 is dragontail glass again as GSM arena spec site says "shatterproof glass" and it says gorilla glass 3 for other phones like the S5 and Note 4. The specs listed there for the Z3 for the screen protection say the same as the Z2. That sucks... ohwell, guess I need a crappy screen protector on this shinny NEW phone... sigh....

Get a Nilkin tempered glass screen protector if you really feel worried. I've ordered one. They feel as good, if not actually better than the glass on the phones anyway, and a drop means the screen protector breaks, not the screen.
Really recommend one.
