Gorilla Glass 3 - Galaxy S 4 General

I keep cracking my screens. Will Gorilla Glass 3 be able to withstand my abuse?

Depends on whether you plan on hammering nails in with an s4 too

I hate to ask what are you doing to your screens that they keep breaking?

Gorilla Glass 3 will still be glass and if you are excessively abusive, the glass will break.

I'm busy and drop my phone during my daily commutes.

Busy doesn't mean you need to drop it... Maybe get a case if you drop it a lot?

I hate cases. Makes the phone bulky and unaesthetic. It wouldn't do my phone justice.

Maybe you should give Nokia 3310 a try

Doubt the 3rd generation glass will offer any major shatter-proof features over the original GG. New technology does not balance out user error.

As fantastic as Samsung phones are, this thing isn't winning any beauty contests. Outside of the screen, it's plastic. EVERYWHERE. There are some pretty slim cases out there, just take a stroll through the "accessories" sub-forum.
Your options are:
1. Case
2. Insurance (ripoff)
3. Spending your weekends/afternoons on iFixit taking untold years off of your life installing what you hope to be a working screen from what you hope was a legit parts retailer
4. Getting extremely friendly with the customer service reps (read: hand jobs)
5. None of the above, just post on XDA each time you break your phone so you magically get a new one (works surprisingly well)

We have one of those blenders at home and it will blend anything you put into it. The thing is a monster.

Except that nokia.

I'm going to keep using screen protectors until screens become scratch-proof.

gorilla lass = scam. its just a name for corning to make money. it will not do anything better

My Sapphire glass watch was still crackable.

Glass is glass. Doesn't matter if it has gorilla or elephant or bear stamped before it. If you drop it hard enough, it will break. So either get a case, try to be less clumsy, or live with the risk of it breaking.

I don't use zagg, but I did leave the protector on that I'd been using. If you have a hard time interacting with the screen, then you may want to remove it.
Cranky...
The screen touching works but im getting a lot of bubbles. Is this because of my current screen protector.

Probably. Looks like there's moisture in between the two. Take it apart and clean the two. But make sure that they're both dry before putting it back together.

Find what on their own? If you're talking about the Ballistic case, sure they can. But they could also find every other accessory on they're own.
You can use an anti-glare screen protector, which they do make for the infuse, and it should remedy the watermark/bubble issues.

Yes. I just took the screen protector off my phone and used the one on the case.
Bought a black one when I bought my Infuse 4G for about $50
Love it they makes good cases
I've had the black one since launch day, verry sturdy you can use it with or without the silicone skin.
Glad I bought it.

Just left an Evo for the Infuse

Well today I put an ad on Craigslist for my HTC Evo w/Otterbox Defender case, CWM & MIUI.. It sold within 4 hours for $200.
I bought an Infuse last night and it should be here on Saturday. The same day that my case I ordered will be here... The Ballistic HC case. Red.. Love it!
I miss my Evo and going two days without a phone is going to suck. I'm glad I did the switch though and look very forward to getting an awesome new phone and case..
I plan to install MIUI on it the day I get it. Root it on it's first boot.
I should change my signature...

I love it. I never thought a phone could blow my Evo away like this. The screen is absolutely F'n amazingly beautiful. I'm very very happy with my Infuse. My wife likes it so much she's going to get one this week. (Sending her HTC Surround back within it's 30 days since purchase for an exchange)

Correct, the second one is it. The Ballistic HC case. You can keep the big rubber on it or you can leave it off like shown in my pictures. Either way it's one bad ass nice case that I would recommend to anyone who wants the best.
The one I ordered (exact one, same seller.. I ordered it Thursday at 3pm and it was on my door step via UPS at 11am the next morning! (I paid $9 for the fast shipping)) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005BTBGEO
does it protect as good with out the big rubber on it?
i would use it as shown in the pic cause i dont like big rubbery cases

Since the link you provide auto forwards me to ebay at this time, I'm going to not order one.
http://www.casefanatic.com/samsung-...kommandant-samsung-galaxy-s4-metal-case-case/
Ill Try again, but I had the same problem as you Paten where it forwarded me to ebay.
It did it again for some reason. Go to Casefantatic.com and find it there.
Since that site also lists a metal "Sigen" NeoHybrid, I'm going to call their products fake. The prices are outrageous for fakes too.
Why would you pay $60 for that case? And the damn thing looks just like my neo hybrid from spigen. Like the poster above me said, fake!

That thing is gonna destroy your signal. Aluminum back plates kill it, it will be even worse with full sides as well.
I know this case... This seller did not produce or design it themselves. The simply bulk ordered from China and asked the factory to print their logo on the case.
I'll post a link to the sgs3 equivalent which I've had my eye on for half a year but was worried about the signal depreciation issues.

Thinking of buying this case. Has anyone been able to get their hands on one yet? I want to make sure it doesn't have a cell reception problem.
I have heard that the Galaxy Note 2 version of this case had reception issues due to the metal causing interference.
If someone can reply, that would be great. I want to make sure I don't waste the $80+
Yeah this case looks great but I'm not willing to risk issues with reception with a $60 case

Cutting a hole in a case makes it a bumper case, got it :thumbup:
The question is whether it holds your N4 firmly. If it's kinda loose then you're putting your N4 in greater risk.

It is holding the nexus 4 firmly, so I don't think there should be much of a risk.

Well, it kind of does
While it could use some more polish, I guess the concept is pretty cool Could essentially be a cheaper alternative to the official bumper case for anyone unable to get one.

Krystal Genuine Sapphire Screen Protector for Nexus 4

Recently XGear recently their Krystal Genuine Sapphire Screen Protector for the Iphone 4 and 5.
Here's the Kickstarter project: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/xgear/krystal-sapphire-screen-protector-for-iphone-4-4s
What I would like to see is that they will also create this screen protector for the Nexus 4. The fact that XGear has already made certain protectors for the Nexus 4 makes them an excellent developer for this amazing screen protector.
They could create a kickstarter project for this nexus 4 and see how many people actually would want this screen protector.

let us know when u get it how it feels on the phone and maybe some pictures. I was reading about their Holy Grail Series and seems to be really good since it says its rated A9 in Mohs scale with A10 being diamond. I wan't to buy it but I'm afraid of how it plays with bumpers or cases like the Ringke Fusion.
