On Sale, seems to be their regular price will be $50 in a while.
Anyone know the reliability of this company? I'm tempted to go with Xgear simply because they're more well known, even though Clarivue's product seems to be better (.1 mm thinner and 1 level higher hardness rating).
(Can't post links b/c I'm a noob.)
Oh it's temping to buy

Frankly, I call bull on this! Ain't no way it's 9H! I have absolutely no proof, but I simply don't believe it.
IMHO, what Clarivue's has going for it over XGear is that it'll be available ~1 month sooner.

Yup, this is why I'm asking for the reliability of the company. Is it a legit company or some scam?
(I'm a relative noob to the smartphone world, please forgive any ignorance.)
Clairvue is a 100% legit company.

Okay, so it's not a scam. I'll buy and post a review when it gets here. (Not sure how to do those but w/e I'll try.)
Am I missing something? Seems kinda expensive..
Clarivue is pretty known in the screen protector industry.
yeah but a glass screen protector on a curved screen is going to be crap.
It's going to be something like this:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.10.1.BqoZYa&id=16794485007
look at the pics, you can clearly see the gap between the screen protector and the nexus 4 glass at the edge where it curves. Otherwise they have to make it smaller and have it looks really obvious that there is a protector there.
Do they not offer same warranty they do for their film protectors? i.e. hassle free exchange policy etc?

Doesn't Sapphire Crystal have a hardness of 9H?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
that is super cool! just watched the installation video on their website.
so tempting..i don't want to be a guinea pig..but the 'early adopter' price of $30 is very tempting.
this is sometihng you almost need to see and feel in person before pulling the trigger.
Anybody having any issues using their coupon code 'glass' ?
I get an invalid coupon code error.
After using a GLASt screen protector on my old phone this is a must have for me.

That is because the 25% is applied at checkout automatically. In cart at checkout it will be 29.99 not 39.99.

It's a different hardness scale. It's based off of the hardness of graphite, for instance a number 2 pencil has a hardness of 2H. So, they are saying that graphite with a hardness of 8H will not scratch the glass, but one with a hardness of 9H will.

I haven't looked it up, don't know offhand, but let's say you're right. If that's the case, then your large, single sapphire crystal screen protector will likely be costing ~$200,000. Not $30. This is just tempered glass, not sapphire.
Again, I call bull. But I have no proof. I'd believe 8H at most.
http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/full-products-list
the i9070 is not on this list so it havn't got gorilla glass
yeah, so...?
So, buy a simple screen protector for $3 or so.. and that's all, no more worries.
Or the list is not complete..

That's why it's cheaper than others, the screen is amazing but always get scratches and people like me don't like to put anything on the screen like a protector, it's still a great phone

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." Got info from http://www.trustedreviews.com/samsung-galaxy-s-advance-i9070_Mobile-Phone_review
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

I don't have an Honor 8. I was looking out for some better dual camera phone. I had an S7 Edge and currently S7. Both were been applied with the Gadgetshieldz. They cover the whole screen and body of the device so I thought sharing this would be useful.

I've been reading all the reviews of the Honor View 10 that I can find and, unfortunately, all reviewers are indicating that Huawei has not used Gorilla Glass on it's most expensive Honor model. This doesn't make sense and is a very big CON against buying the phone for me. So far, most reviewers aren't saying anything nice about low light photography. Looks like the Leica lenses on the Mate 10 Pro may boost that phone's good low light camera performance, not NPU.
no, it does not have it,Honor has its own scratch-resistant glass.

Has Huawei started using Soda Lime glass with the Honor View 10 and 7X? Comparing Huawei Honor specs on recent Honor phones (8, 9, 7, 6x, 5) the company specified that Gorilla Glass was used. https://www.gsmarena.com/huawei-phones-58.php
My understanding is that Gorilla Glass, also known as AAS glass, is more porous and that its hardening process goes deeper, making it more resistent to scratches. This is a step backwards in build quality, IMHO.
Well, this is disappointing news. I know some sacrifices have to be made for the price point but this shouldn't have been one to the extent of no Gorilla Glass. They could have used an older version.
I read in Gsm arena Page the 7x use Gorilla Glass older Version.

I'm not so certain the 7x uses Gorilla Glass, there's no mention of it as a feature on Amazon's US website and one of the phone feature sites I was looking at only rated the screen's hardness at Mohns 4--Gorilla Glass is rated at 6.5.

The response Huawei provided doesn't give any indication of protection without a Mohns or Vicks hardness rating. There are many companies marketing glass for screens based on aluminosilicate glass (Gorilla Glass is aluminosilicate glass). The real issue is chemical composition since they all must vary to avoid patent infringement.
I do not care so much I watch my cell phones and use a foil
Well, correct me if I am wrong!
Gorilla Glass is the "trademark" name given by Corning company. Same like people mistakenly use Xerox for Photocopy. isn't it?
Hence, it's useless to argue if Honor is using Gorilla or any other trademarked glass. What matters is the screen type.

As per this post, Honor is using Alluminocsilicate glass which indeed what Gorilla Glass is made up of. So I guess this helps!

Yes that's completely right.
Both GG and asahi (jap brand) are using the same type of glass.. There should be barely, if at all, any difference between the two in terms of hardness (scratch resistance)..
Here's some more info (thread is from 2016 but should still be relevant).

It has The AI2O3 content of alkali aluminosilicate glasses is typically 10-25% and the alkali content over 10%. The high alkali content prepares the glass for ion exchange with bigger alkali ions in order to improve the surface compressive strengt

Well, now I see why they are silent about the screen. There's a huge difference in the manufacturing process employed by Corning for Gorilla Glass and Asahai for its Dragontail Glass and Corning's process makes Gorilla Glass more than scratch resistant but improves drop performance, too, acheiving a higher Vicks hardness rating than Asahai's Dragonglass. Corning uses an ion exchange method; Ashai uses a float method. http://www.differencebetween.info/difference-between-gorilla-glass-and-dragontrail-glass

It'd be easier to see the difference if someone like Zack (jerryrigeverthing) takes a go at it..
I've seen posts where they talk about the hardness in mohs scale where both gg and dt are between 6-7.. In JRE vids, most phones with GG start to scratch at 6 and have deeper scratches at 7 using his mohs pick..
I'm not sure what sources they've used to get the hardness in mohs though so I didn't link those posts..

Mohs was developed in the 19th century and can only be used to test minerals because it relies on using minerals known to be stronger to scratch a weaker one; Mohs can't be used for metals. https://www.gordonengland.co.uk/hardness/mohs.htm In a Vicks or "Vickers" test, a diamond (pyramid-shaped) mounted in a block is pressed in to the object being tested at 1-100 kgf for 10-15 seconds. https://www.gordonengland.co.uk/hardness/vickers.htm The Vicks test is preferred by many materials engineers.
