Gorilla Glass?

Well I've tried searching for this on google and on many sites and Motorola's serviceone isn't picking up in my country. I'm using the XT720 from Singapore's Starhub (blue back cover)
So I'm wondering does this phone have gorilla glass? I really want to take out the screen protector considering how sharp this screen is without it.
Anyone have confirmation?

khalpowers has a video on youtube of him trying to scratch his with some scissors. just search xt720 gorrilla glass. im pretty sure it has it and im pretty sure i remember seeing xt720 on gorrilla glass's website also.

Yes, I can confirm you that XT720 has a Gorilla Glass (or at least, some kind of really strong scratch resistant glass). The screen is very durable and can resist of any scratch to the surface.
you don't need to apply normal screen protector to the phone, but in case you don't like the reflective glare from the direct light and smudgy fingerprints, you can apply matte screen protector.

Great thanks alot all of you guys haha, I really wanna enjoy my screen's quality without having the matte protector bring it down.

Thanks for reaching out to Motorola. I’ve reviewed your e-mail dated 20/02/2011 02.41 AM and I’m ready to help.
We apologize for the inconvenience this is causing you. Motorola Milestone XT like other Motorola Android phones has Gorilla Glass. However, please note that this is scratch resistant only. This doesn’t suggest that it is scratch proof and shock proof. It is still recommended to take good care of the phone and keep it away from any impacts as much as possible.
We appreciate your patience and understanding on this matter.

WARNING i had taken my screen protector off for like a week now to see the real beauty of the screen and now bunch of baby hair line scratchs. just throwing that out there so better safe than sorry. so time to put my replacement zagg screen protector on god i hate zagg

I've been using the XT720 for 2 months without any kind of screen protectors, no scratches of any kind yet...
It is Gorilla Glass ( Not as strong as the one found in the DEFY tho.

Well, i had take off the screen protection and after 2 weeks now i have 2 scratch, so thin but anyways i don't want scratch my screen. Now i have a invisible shield screen protector, but it not feels the same, i really like how the screen feels without any screen protection, but, well, what else can i do?

Tempered glass vs. plastic screen protector

I have been a long time user of the $10 3 pack of plastic film protectors you can get on amazon, they work fine however after a few months they get scratched, hold tons of fingerprints and need to be replaced. What I'm wondering is would a tempered glass screen protector necessarily have any better fingerprint resistance or scratch resistance vs the plastic or is the only real advantage the fact the the tempered glass will shatter if dropped and not your phones screen. I'm considering the zagg glass only because of the free replacement. I previously used their invisible shield on a nexus 7 and was not impressed at all but am willing to give them another try only because of the free replacement.

I've tried many plastic screen protectors and I used to have the same issue after a while they would track tons of fingerprints and wear down. I tried out the iLoome 8H Hardness Premium Screen Protector with Oleophobic Coating for the LG G2 and LG G3 and it's amazing. I feel like it helps against the fingerprints and scratches.

I was previously a hater of screen protectors (because of the plastic ones) until I realized how anal I could be over micro scratches on my actual screen. Once I noticed one, I bought a glass screen protector for the first time. Was the Caribu on Amazon. I failed to apply it correctly because it was a first time thing but I still loved the feel, thought it was great & left it on for a couple weeks. I ordered the Bepak tempered glass on eBay which ships from China. Lined it up perfect first try and the adhesive slowly migrated across my screen leaving no bubbles. It's smoother and resist fingerprints better than the naked glass. No scratches yet.
In short, tempered glass screen protectors are the only reason I can even say I like screen protectors.

I love my zagg glass. I too had issues with scratches on the others.
Fortunately I have not had this one break. My buddy has broken 3 and received replacements no issues

I always used the lesser destructible protectors from zagg skins or clearcoat etc. With this device I decided I try out the zagg tempered glass and I don't think I would ever go back to any other screen protector. They give you added protection and are super clear! Definitely worth the extra investment
No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.

Stay away from the Bodyguardz tempered glass screen protector. It has sensitivity issues. Hopefully AT&T takes mine back when the new one I ordered from Spigen gets here.

I have the XtremeGuard Spartan Tempered Glass screen protector. It feels like glass, it seems to be just as sensitive, and it's not cloudy like some matte screen protectors are. There are only 2 things wrong with it: the top-right corner refuses to adhere, and it normally costs $50. I got it during a 90% off sale so it cost me $5 (totally worth it), but there's no way I would ever spend more than $10 on this thing. $5 was about right.

My local at&t wouldn't take mine back
Thankfully the sensitivity issue has gotten better with use. But it still messes up from time to time. I did get it 50% off, as well as my otter box case, so I guess I can't complain too much.
Side note: I'm not sure if I'm the only one that does this but I get the otter box defender and I actually pop out their "screen protector" and use a glass screen protector with it. Looks nice and feels protected

You are not the only one. I popped mine out too. Did the same on my S3.

I has the screen sensitivity issue when I first put the zagg on. I haven't noticed it lately however. Could be that I've just completely forgotten about it or it genuinely could have gotten better.
No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.

Wanted to chime in that I am also having issues with the Bodyguardz tempered screen protector. Traded a s5 for the g3 (So happy I did) and I've noticed things will get selected when I'm trying to scroll. Then other times I have to select something multiple times to get it to work. Driving me nuts.

Zagg Tempered Glass
Figured I'd add my 2 cents I've had my Zagg glass on about a month and it has been absolutely flawless.. and like the video shows.. that sumbitch will not scratch. Its got those hard plastic covers beat by a mile. I'd swear by it.. Once you put on a Zagg glass protector.. you'll kick yourself for ever having messed with others.
Sensitivity : 10
Clarity : 10
Ease of application : 10
and its lifetime gauranteed ... will be on every phone I ever use from the g3 on out :good:

I bought ZeroLemon Tempered Glass and love it. Simple to install and feels great. Never going back plastic screen covers. For 8.99 plus .69 cents for S/H cant beat it.

Wanted to update, I went to best buy and bought the zagg glass one and it's great. Way better then the bodyguardz. No finicky screen issues and not as thick so cases fit just fine. I have to agree with dlbcell.

Zagg Glass +1
Just thought I would chime in and say the Zagg Glass is amazing and I would rec it to anyone. Just as a plus, show this at any bestbuy and you can get it for 22 bucks. Now that is worth it 100%. Would have gladly paid 40 bucks for it if I hadent found this.

Thanks for the link. I had cracked the glass screen protector I had on my G3 and I have been in the market for a Zagg one due to their lifetime guarantee. Can't pass up that price!

Got my G3 at best buy today. Ordered a Zagg glass screen protector from Amazon after hearing all off the good things.

I had the same issue with Bodyguards. At intermittent times parts of the touchscreen failed to respond to touch. Going to make a complaint and see if I can get my money back or at least a credit on my bill. I have since put on a Zagg Glass and have not noticed the issue...and it actually feels better for swyping.

I swear by Realook protectors. Sure, they're plastic, but they are the best fitting and best feeling I have found. Crystal clear and no orange peel or rubbery drag. I tried the Ziess glass cover on my g2 and could never get over the combination of the extra thickness at the edges and that cases either lifted it or eventually just plan broke it.
You have fingers, you will put prints on anything.

I'll never buy another plastic screen protector. Glass is the way to go..
Its like Cassette tapes vs CD's there's no contest...
I get mine of Amazon and pay between 5 and 10 dollars ..

Glass Screen Protectors

I figured that there would not be any glass screen protectors made for the Note Edge since it would be too difficult for manufacturers to produce.
However, I'm constantly searching the web in the hopes that some company does produce it. To my surprise, I found the following website(looks to be out of stock), but supposedly they are creating one:
http://www.techarmor.com/tech-armor...earest-screen-protector-retail-packaging.html
Let's help each other out and place any links for other Glass Protectors for the Note Edge that may come along in the future.

I have a feeling any glass screen protectors they make will not cover the edge screen

ebay has some
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Anti-Explosion-Tempered-Glass-Film-Screen-Protector-for-Samsung-Note-Edge-/191413851195?pt=US_Cell_Phone_Screen_Protectors&hash=item2c9127943b
but they only cover the front and not the edge.
i doubt there will be any that will cover the edge anytime soon. Its going to be pretty hard to make it fit just right without a space between the screens.
Plastic protectors would have some give to them so it would bend over.

Yea I had a fosman case order before I got the edge. It came in the day before I pick it up in store. I paid $4 on ebay.
I had screen protectors but they didn't cover the edge. So had to order some more.
I never had a glass screen protector before, since I always put a protectors on day one. But I must say I like the glass feel or the device. So I kinda hope they make a full glass protector.

Philly, did the skinomi work? I love bestscreensever but they will not be making any. I used them for years and years. My note 3 still have the original from Oct 2013 and still in great shape.

I have not used it yet ,picked up the nexus 6 yesterday been setting that up, plus very busy with work , however I have both skinomi protectors on my desk I'm hoping I have time later today to install, I'll let you know and post a few pictures as soon as I can..

I bought a universal screen protector from zagg and cut it to fit my note edge. The one I bought is bigger than the entire lcd on the phone and the zagg's don't try to stay flat so it wrapped around the edge display nicely.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00PPSOT9U/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?qid=1418256139&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70
I wonder how this will fit.. It's only a few bucks, guess I'll give it a shot, assuming it won't cover the edge, not sure how it will fit like that, but I guess we will find out.

What the he'll J currently unavailable......? Lol. Just teasing I'll give it a shot when it's available currently using the skinomi not bad bubble free you can barely tell it's on, but nothing beats glass

I'm thinking of getting a tempered glass protector for the flat screen and get the clear self healing ones everyone here talks about for the edge portion.
Trace the self healing protector with the the glass one and cut the edge part off the self healing one.
Apply the glass protector and then apply the cutout of the edge.
I tried looking for that glass protector on ebay but now it's gone. Anyone know where I can get more?

I too have the skinomi brand and am impressed with it. I also reviewed it on amazon. It fits perfectly and still has the finger print issue I mentioned on amazon. However I have also noticed a lot of screen errors in the form of inadvertent screen presses and zoom in/out while trying to scroll. Since I have had the screen protector since nearly day one I do not know if this is an issue with the phone itself or the barrier/drag of the skinomi material.
I do like the feel though. It is nearly un-noticeable.

Also I don't get any drag on the screen at all all feels like glass

The tech armor glass screen protector "coming soon" status reminds me of the subway just built near my house. when I was in freshman year of college and wife in high school, is when we first saw the "coming soon" sign. That was in 2005. they just finished building it last month and it's still not open for business, lol. That how I feel about this screen protector

I ordered Alien Surface HD front and rear. I'll tell you how good it is.

I wonder if there is an edge to edge screen for this one?

I installed the film on the screen, it fits very well, full size. Great care when installing! I am very satisfied. It remains to be seen how the resistance is.
Instructions must be followed strictly and installation kit helps a lot.

[Q] Picking a Screen Protector

Hey guys, I'm currently deciding between screen protectors
Zagg InvisibleShield Glass
Luvvitt Tempered Glass
Tech Armor Premium Ballistic Glass Protector
I can't post links yet so sorry about that!
I'm always open to suggestions but those 3 are the ones I've seen most recommended after reading a couple threads on screen protectors on other forums. Pick a poll option and explain why!

rocking with a 9H ZeroLemon Glass screen protector and installation took me like 2 minutes only and the Glass SP is just amaazing it is by far the best screen protector i have ever used on any phone, no smudges no glare no graphic distortions touch feels good smooth and well i just would give it a 10/10 .

Im in the same situation. I was looking into the zerolemon one and they do offer lifetime warranty but that only applies if you scratch the protector or get air bubles in it, not if it shatter when the phone falls, and they apparently send a new one.
However this one, with the shipping for me, costs about 25$, so i don't know. I found one from a brand called Ariza with good reviews for 9$ (free shipping), but i don't know if its good or not or if really they are just about all the same lol

The thing is I've heard really great things about the Tech Armor one and that's half the price of Zagg and ZeroLemon... I'm just not sure if I can justify the double price of the screen protector you guys are suggesting.

Personally always had Zagg Extreme screen covers.. not as thick as glass but crystal clear and the feel is perfect for me. Just my two cents. Can't go wrong with Zagg

Balistic glass
I've been using balistic glass since i bought my s5.. it's still good upto now

For me, since I used the phone for a long period of time before I put a screen protector on it, I just don't like the feel of anything but the glass screen protectors. Just my .02

Official Samsung Screen Protectors (Made in Korea by Samsung)

Received Official Samsung Screen Protectors (Made in Korea by Samsung); I personally don't see why I should be spending this much on PET film, when there are better ones costing cheap! These Samsung PET's costed me $20 dollars including shipping. I haven't opened the item because its going back to where it came from, lol. :good:
What are your thoughts?

Sorry, I dont get it. Why is it not worth it?

It's unnecessarily expensive. These screen protectors serve temporary protection. Then after all the grime accumulates, you take it off and toss in the trash. You might as well buy something more permanent such as a tempered glass screen protector.
Also, eBay sells dozens of PET film screen protectors, some which are of very decent quality. Xtreme_Guard is selling a 6-pack for only $2.49. Definitely worth it.

I see, got it. Here in our country it cost ~$13.

Why buy it in the first place if its too expensive?

Lol, the order was placed by accident and wasn't able to cancel prior to shipping. I don't know what Samsung is trying to get out of this; but not all your accessories have to be made by Samsung. Here's what I purchased along with the Note 4:
- Mini Wireless Charging Pad (Samsung)
- Otterbox Defender (Black) with Holster
- Zagg HDX and Glass (Note 4)
- A Dozen or So Screen Protector Pack from eBay (for Backup)
- Skinomi Techskin (Clear) for the Note 4
- Pouch
There were additional things I purchased, but later realized how unnecessary it was, and returned them.

How on earth you ordered them by mistake, haven't used them and you can say they does not worth it?
I've bought mine for $9 and I'm going to apply one of them tomorrow and will have real opinion.
And 2 other things - it is Samsungs accessory and it is normal to cost more. And TGP are having halos, so this is an option for protecting your screen.
Please change the threat topic - it is misleading.

I have one applied (the package comes with two) and I'm quite satisfied. Fit is good, smooth to touch, s-pen glides over it... I like it. Can't say about durability because I only have it for a week.

the real question is, does samsung official screen protector actually cover the whole screen with no halos? I'm curious to see if they actually made a screen protector that covered the whole screen knowingly making a curved screen.

Since these are plastic film screen protectors, of course it doesn't cover the entire glass. It's impossible with this type of protector. The only kind that can currently do that are the wet apply rubber style protectors.
