omg I wanna cry.... but this is good to know.... don't drop it from ear height or perhaps shoulder height if you're a bit taller then this guy... and as long as you don't carry razor blades in your pocket, there's need for a screen protector
I hate you for making me cringe, but thanks for the post
Yeah, kinda bummed I put a screeen protector on. Prob. take it off now.
Yea I put one on and the screen didnt look as nice as when its bare. Whats the point of having these beautiful displays if u r going to cover it. I have a bare screen right now and it's amazing !!!!!

i had a ClearProtector on my vibrant but it looked too dirty and old so i put it off and now is shiny like diamond (?)
If you guys have been in the Accessories part of the Captivate forum.. you'll hear alot of people's opinions with different screen protectors.
Such as me who's currently rocking me some PhantomSkinz.. I seriously don't notice I have a screen protector on unless I try to dig my nail into the protector lol but why would I do that!? Not to mention it doesn't really have that rubbery texture.
It's really awesome. if you're not a fan of PhantomSkinz someone said SGP skin protectors are awesome. The user even said it actually made the touchscreen much more sensitive to the touch. just a heads up for those who aren't sure about screen protectors.
The video btw shows some scratches on the device .. a lot actually.. so reconsider if you value your phone's looks
Screen protectors belong on cheap plastic panels. I enjoy my phone so much more when touching glass. Just make sure to get a BlackBerry like sleeve for putting it in your pockets. Since going bare, I will never allow plastic screen guards to deface my touch devices again.

Ok cool so there showing a euro i9000. Can anyone confirm that gorilla glass is used on the captivate? I have not seen in any reviews that samsung is using this in any of there handsets. Its a selling point. Why would they leave this out?

Lots of discussions on this in other forums. Some people swear the phone doesn't have gorilla glass, some do. The vague press release (dated the 24th of august i think) says that Samsung uses Gorilla glass in the galaxy S handset - but it doesn't mention which ones. Engadget ran the story and claimed that all US Galaxy S varieties have gorilla glass. Corning mentions that is part of the AMOLED manufacturing process.
It seems that Gorilla glass is in the phones - it would not make sense to make different AMOLED sandwiches when they are so expensive to start with - but I would love to see something official that says "The Captivate uses Gorilla Glass".

I would like to see the same. I have a small scratch on my screen from being in my pocket. Its one of those scratches you cant see unless the light reflects off the screen just right and the screen off. I know its there but its not noticable. Plus i dont ever keep anything in my pocket where my phone is other than my phone. thats why im iffy about the captivate having gorilla glass.
I got tired of having a screen protector and ripped mine off a week and a half ago. If the screen is not Gorilla Glass, its is still better than anything I have had on a phone a before. The plastic on the top front part of my phone has a few scratches on it, but I have yet to get a scratch on the screen. Only thing I am using now is the Bodyglove case. The screen feels so much better.
... Despite the fact that it is gorilla glass ( or not? ) my screen have two light small scratches on it... and i ' baby ' my phone too. >.>
This article gives confirmation:
http://www.intomobile.com/2010/08/2...ts-the-samsung-galaxy-s-super-amoled-screens/
[I wanted to post a link to my other post describing my experiences with Gorilla glass but I am not allowed to post a link, so I'll just repeat my message.]
Unfortunately I found out the hard way that Gorilla glass doesn't prevent scratches on the screen. The phone is only 2 months old, I am using it with a silicone skin and no screen-protector. The phone is always in my jeans-pocket, without anything else in it. And still there is a small scratch (2mm) and a dot...
I guess I have to go to screenprotectors. I cannot trust the claims of Samsung and Gorilla glass anymore. :-(
Is anyone not using a screen protector? I have one but am itching to take it off. Just seeing what people think.

I never used a screen protector on my fascinate, banged it up a lot and there were only minor dings in the plastic back cover...
Charge is the same, its taken a beating and I've only gotten one little scratch on the screen, but I got that at the beach... sand is notorious for being corrosive/scratchy to phones so I couldn't really help it no matter where I put it it was bound to happen

The charge has Gorilla Glass. You have to try to scratch it. But, I have one on mine. However, the BACK of the phone is a scratch magnet.

This is why I'm itching to take it off.
Also, does the charge actually have gorilla glass? I've read about this at a couple other places and they all say different things. Is there any proof?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
All the sources I can find say it is Gorilla Glass.
I use a Skinomi Techskin full body cover. I love it.
I personally always use a screen protector. I don't care about little scratches myself but in 2 years when I get a new phone I'm going to sell this one and it's a huge plus if this thing has no scratches. Plus, if you get a good protector you'll never notice it's even there.
Samsung charge has Super Amoled Plus screen. It's scratch resistant. Putting on a screen protector completely negates all the good things about this screen. For example with a screen protector the ability to see the screen under sun light (yes. Super Amoled Plus Screen makes it easier to see the screen under sun light) is negated.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
I can honestly say that my screen protector does not affect the performance of my screen at all. It still trumps my friend's iphone4's retina displays all day every day.
I have had this on my last 3 phones and swear by it. It covers the whole screen and I don't even know it is there.
I had it on my fascinate for 8 months and that is almost scratch resistant itself. had a few minor marks on the protector from a screw in my pocket.

Yes, the Galaxy Note 10.1 does use Gorilla Glass. I can't post any links so I've PM'ed you some links that you can look at.
In this article from Phonearea they mention that the Note 10.1 have Gorilla Glass.
I'm not sure that article can be trusted and, as you mention, there are no official statements that the Note 10.1 in face have Gorilla Glass (well, I can't find such a statement anyway).
I thought it was gorilla glass 2? or was that the Note II that has it?

Thank you, i have look at the sites before, and also a lot of review and sites around the world stated that Galaxy Note 10.1 use gorilla glass but i just couldn't believe it yet, i have email Samsung Customer Support @ indonesia and the Customer Service Officer told me That Galaxy Note 10.1 doesn't have gorilla glass, but as we know it, a statement from CSO is often wrong and hardly to believe
Galaxy Note 10.1 is one of the high end product from samsung, it's have high specification and also quite expensive so it's hard to believe that samsung doesn't use gorilla glass on it, samsung use gorilla glass on galaxy ace who is much cheaper that galaxy note 10.1 so why not on galaxy note 10.1 ?
Unfortunately it is scratched after 4 days of use AT HOME, no dropping, original s pen only, no other hard materials touch the screen. FML!

One of the primary ways people scratch their tablets is letting stapled papers rest on top of it. When you drag the paper off the staple scratches.
Never leave anything sitting on the screen.

Your out of your mind if you think the s-pen scratched it. Have you used a microfiber cloth and a very small amount of water or cleanser to clean it? I'm sure it is not "scratched".

I hope it doesn't. The SGS3 and One X have GG2 and it's much more susceptible to fine scratches. There's tons of *****ing in their respective forums about it.

Here's a helpful (but a bit anal retentive) tip. Get some pure carnauba car wax and periodically wax your screen. It makes it much harder for debris to stick, provides a protective barrier, and makes the pen (or your finger) glide more easily across the screen. I use detailing spray to clean my screen rather than a cleaner to keep the wax from being stripped off. And yes, if the nib of the pen picks up something abrasive it'll trash your display. So keeping the nib clean is obviously a priority.
Just dont let your mom catch you waxing your screen

I put a Ghost Armor screen protector on my Note. It actually improves the stylus action, in my opinion. The stylus glides a little easier than on the bare glass.
I have no link to back it up, but while I was researching the Note I came across specs that indicated while it doesn't have "gorilla glass", it does have Samsung's own version of GG. Sorry I don't have a link to the page.

If S-pen did it, means we have to change that it is stands for 'scratcher' pen, instead of 'smart' pen.

Don't know if it's gorilla glass, but my puppy pulled mine off a table. It took about a 3 foot drop, and judging by the scratches on the back, she did some dancing on it. When I found it the display was up. But, not a scratch on the glass. I don't use a protector, bareback is best IMHO

Can you see the dots when the screen is clean and turned off? Are they uniformly placed like following a pattern or random and how many dots?
My wife dropped her phone and cracked the screen. I went through the process of removing the glass from the LCD successfully, but the replacement glass I ordered off Amazon sucks. It doesn't fit quiet right, and there is now a lip all along the end of the phone.
Has anyone had a good experience replacing their glass? If so, can you link me to where you bought the glass?
Also, if you used glue, a good link to what you used would be much appreciated as well.
Thanks!
Did you press the glass down? Is everything removed under the glass that is suppose to be removed? just trying to help. Did you watch youtube video on how to remove it?
How much was your glass? Can you send me a link please? My is cracked to. I'll try it out though before I do a insurance claim.

Here's the glass I tried using: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A3NSWMW/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00
The screen was too big height and width wise, not in thickness. The glue underneath the screen was removed, and heat was applied as I tried to finesse it into place -- nothing worked. It's just a bad piece of glass, hence the posting for advice.
Does this help?

Maybe because it' scratch resistant, not scratch-proof.
http://www.diffen.com/difference/Scratch_Proof_vs_Scratch_Resistant
And quote from the site OP linked: Due to customer agreements, we cannot identify all devices that feature Gorilla Glass. Your favorite device may include Gorilla Glass, even if you don’t see it listed.
Edit: Note II isn't listed either. Nor S Plus, or S2 Plus...
Edit2: OP's logic is terrible (not on a list -> it hasn't got it)
Guys, I found proof our phone has gorilla glass. Here " said, the screen is protected by gorilla glass, so overall the phone shouldn't prove too fragile over the longer term and certainly the chassis feels pretty solid."

Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda app-developers app
Well... it's a bit funny, whatever review I read, before I bought this phone, each of them wrote it's Gorilla Glass on the front.
After buying it, my second buy was a screen protector though, because the last phone of mine was a Galaxy S II, and that surely featured Gorilla Glass, but I made a scratch on the screen on its first day with me. Whatever.
About the phones plastic body: Although I'm really the plastic-protector-case-user type, on the S Advance's first 1-2 months I didn't used anything on it. I even hit a hardplastic table with my phone, and the phone wasn't even slightly sctratched. I can say its body is even harder and more solid than the S II's.
So I woundn't worry. It's not a powerful phone (signifiacant change from S II), but it's surely hard as rock!:good:
If It gonna get a highley stable Rom, I'll stick with it for a while.

If that link says that our phone "Runs older Android V3.2 Gingerbread", I wouldn't trust that source.
even gorilla glass can be scratched / broken..
screen protector is still necessary to avoid any unfortunate breakage on the phone's screen..
gravity hurts, sometimes alot!! lol..
I had an i9003 (Galaxy SL) which has Gorilla glass and the difference is huge, this phone gets scratched much more easily than phones that have this feature.
That doesn't mean it won't be broken if it falls to the ground, I'm just taking about scratches, gorilla glass won't protect your phone from heavy hits / drops, just scratches
