so much for gorilla glass .. scratched screen

probably something my 8yo daughter did.
it's small -- only a couple of mm, but it's there.
hell, i watched that youtube of the guy dragging a nail across his TF.
this wasn't supposed to happen, right?
anybody else got scratches?

can u post a pix of the scractch if possible?

Gorilla glass isn't supposed to be scratch-proof.

it decreases cracking from dropping not scratches sheesh what do you think it is made of diamond? get a zagg screen protector and your screen will never scratch again

It's not about strength - it is about being scratch resistant. That said, it's not scratch-proof - nothing is. Basically, if you've got a tiny scratch then it would be a large scratch if it weren't gorilla glass. You can still scratch it, but it's harder to do. Apparently sand is a big culprit.

gorilla glass is not scratch-proof, its only drop-proof (cracks)

Sand will scratch gorilla glass really easy.

ive got a scratch on mine i think sand was the cause

Dumb question maybe but surely most people use screen protectors to prevent scratches even with gorilla glass?
Gorilla glass can be scratched but its pretty good though I would never leave it unprotected for the reason it is scratchable.

I also have a very small scratch in my glass
After some time you completly ignore it and dont regard it.

i'm sorry. i can't post a pic of my scratch as i've now put a protector on the screen, which renders it completely invisible. i know! horse after cart.
this is the 2nd protector i tried; the first, a matte one, i didn't like, as it dulled the display too much. the one i have now, which shows fingerprints somewhat (not as bad as without) and causes reflections, is pretty much indistinguishable from no protector at all. very happy.
i'd recommend everybody now to get a screen protector on their TF. don't rely on the gorilla glass.

I was just talking to a friend with his Nexus Galaxy the other day. He saw my phone, SET4G the SET4G, and said he wished he had Gorilla Glass, as he had gotten a scratch, and put a screen protector on his.
Mine didn't have any scratches......... at the time, and I said, watch, I'll get a scratch now.
I got a long scratch, very light, that I noticed the other day. Plus some tiny scratches.
I don't play in the Sandbox, so I have no idea how they got there.
May have been there before, but I didn't notice. But maybe not, as I notice everything
They are very unnoticeable, but I ordered a Steinheil Crystal screen protector to slap on it.
2 to a pack for $13.99 cause I usually screw up the first install
I've read that Corning is coming out with another type of glass to supercede Gorilla Glass. I believe it's called Lotus Glass it may be available already, and may be installed on some upcoming smartphones, so I've read) and Japan already has a scratch resistant glass, I believe called Ashai? Glass.
I think Gorilla Glass has a Hardness of 7 on the Mohs Hardness scale.
The problem is that Quartz also has a Hardness of 7,which can be found in sand, as well as dust particles.

Does the GS3 have Gorilla Glass?

I just read on reddit that the Verizon GS3 does NOT have Gorilla Glass.
Anyone know the truth?

Yes it does, Gorilla glass 2 to be precise. I personally think it sucks, I had my first scratch a week into owning the device

Now there will be Gorilla Glass 3 (soon).

Gorilla glass 3 looks really promising!

Whatever you call it. It is tempered glass. People get too worked up about brand names rather then quality.
The glass its self has a hardness level of about 7. But the film they put on the outermost layer(part you touch) has a hardness lever of 9. Correct me if I'm wrong. But 9 out of 10 is not perfection.
Always use a screen protector.
A heads up that I have noticed is that the quartz in sand does a fantastic job of scratching the screen. So stay off the beach. Haha.

Gorilla glass or dragontail glass..?

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.

Please post questions in the Q&A section

Anyone try Skinomi?

With all the talk about the 2.5D glass I was looking at the non-glass screen protectors on Amazon....the Skinomi gets 30+ people giving it 5 stars which makes me VERY suspicious since NOT ONE of the reviewers mentioned if it fits over the edges of the curved glass or is cut just to the flat part.
Has anyone personally tried a Skinomi on their Note 4? If the reviews are to be believed then this could be a winner for me.

because it's wet screen protector. it's going to fit very well on this device. once it dry it's going to be really good. I am going to get one soon.

If it's the same as their other screen protector, it'll have a soft slight tacky feel to it and your stylus will not run smoothly on it. I have skinomi skins on my note 3 and gear and I don't use their included screen protector on the note 3 cause of this.

The glass protector breaks often and it's making me pissed off, so I wanted to install a liquid screen protector from Gadgetshieldz which I've been using for 3 months and it gives good protection for my display and also at an affordable price.

Just get one from Amazon, usually it comes with 2 or 3 pack
