I work for corning, and when it comes to what products do and dont have gorilla, they keep it very hush hush.. Pretty much sounds like its a need to know type thing. They only put it on the website if they get the ok from the manufacture, which you can do a search on motorolas website for gorilla glass, and motorola will come out saying "x" phone has it, but yet corning hasnt updated the gorilla glass website. grrrr

Andy,
But, is it true that Motorola Xoom uses gorilla glass from Corning?
I still could not believe it because it is not in the official Xoom spec.

I honestly don't know. Personally I would they it would, given its in some of motorolas other products, and that they wanted the Xoom to be a higher end quality product. But I have not heard it confirmed by either company

I have a Droid (original) and it had Gorilla Glass, I love it. I have never used a screen protector and after 1.5 years of heavy use I have basically no major scratches.
I really hope the Xoom has Gorilla Glass too...

Ill second the lack of scratches on my droid, great stuff. I laugh at people who put screen protectors on it. Those are so soft they get scratches easily and then make people think that ther screen got saved when in reality it would have been fine. Just don't put it in your diamond filled pocket and you'll be fine.

My Droid has succumbed to too many face plants on hard surfaces like hardwood floors, parking lots, and slickrock. The touchscreen has a big black mark that looks like a gash, but it isn't. Now it does all sorts of crazy things like send texts without me touching the device. Don't get me wrong, i think it would have shattered like iphones do without the gorilla glass. I drop things a lot.
Trying to hold out for th Thunderbolt to replace it, but the delays are not making it easier.

Read the top paragraph on this page...then look at the Motorola section it's right there in black and white, and from the way it's written there may be even more devices that may have Corning Gorilla glass that are not on the list.

I don't anticipate any differences to other screens with fortified glass and won't be using a screen protector.

there is not a single official source that can confirm GNote is not Gorilla anyway.. apart from blogs and tech websites and some say (and confirm) it is Gorilla and some say its not and non of them state why and where is the source.. if anyone has a reputed source then share

yes we all know that.. because Corning seems didnt update it (not sure) because the last device mentioned is the S2 and there are many new devices from Samsung and many others (has Gorilla) but not mentioned/updated..
you see, I am not trying to argue you guys... but really the fact Samsung never mentioned its Gorilla on the Note official Samsung page (neither they ever mentioned even for the S2) our only source of info is always Corning website and they didn't add many devices to the list since long already in the Market with Gorilla. such as the new Samsung 8.9 or the 7+ samething with other brands if i recall.

sorry if you interpreted my response as an insult, it wasnt meant like that.
but basically, from my experience with cars and computer parts... who cares what branding it has? who cares if its branded as gorilla glass or branded as hardened glass? if its still tough enough to be scratch resistant and still does the job, then does it really matter whether its branded or not?
my galaxy note screen has no scratches on it. i kept it in the same pocket as my keys as well until i got my flip cover a week ago. still no scratches. this was before my screen protectors arrived.

The scratches are tiny but clearly visible. Considering I haven't haven't abused it all and my old inspire 4g had no scratches and was abused I think this glass isn't as good and isn't gorilla at all.

Holy crap guys, stop arguing about something that is really stupid. It's not going to change the fact that the dudes screen is scratched.
GG is scratch RESISTANT. Not scratch PROOF. Stop getting your panties in a bunch. It got scratched because it came into contact with something hard enough to scratch it. Who's fault it that? Oh, yours. It's nice to have GG right? Right, but regardless of that fact even GG can be scratched. SO get your screen protectors if a little scratch is going to bother you.

There is a fundamental difference between 'scratch proof' and 'scratch immune'

As posted by few others
1. Gorilla Glass can get scratches
2. Corning's patent ran out on gorilla glass quite some time ago and just about anyone capable of making one can make one
3. Corning and Samsung has a joint venture together that specializes this under scp.samsung.com and may not be using "Gorilla Glass" label

The Samsung Focus Flash JUST came out and it's on there.
But whatever. Gorilla Glass isn't the end all be all. A grain of sand and it scratches like any 'ol screen.
Just be careful and your screen should be good, regardless of what type it is.

The Samsung Galaxy note HAS GORILLA GLASS

This has been confirmed by dozens of XDA members who have gone above and beyond to confirm that it is indeed Gorilla Glass in the Note.
Ever since the release date, the feud over Gorilla Glass began and it ended a week later. Dozens of members contacted Corning and they said that many devices with gorilla glass are not shown in their list.
®That was for all you going "CORNING SAYZ DA NOTE HAZ NO GORILLA GLAZS"
I have read numerous threads where users have contacted Samsung and have reached the conclusion that it is indeed gorilla glass in our notes. On pretty much all the tech sites, they all list the Note as having Gorilla Glass.
Gorilla glass is Scratch-"resistant" not Scratch "proof" and even if it was Scratch proof, it would not be impervious to everything.
Gorilla Glass isn't magic, it is Glass and like any other Glass, sand can scratch it because Glass is just super heated sand.
Now, to those saying "GORILLA GLAZS IS DESIGNED TO B3 scrATCH PROOF"
Gorilla glass was created in the hopes of reducing shock from falls, to preserve the glass, while also giving adequate scratch resistance.
Hopefully, this will encourage people to spend the $20 on a decent screen protector to protect the $260 screen+ digitizer on their Note.

Right! let me enlighten you a little, gorilla glass was never designed to reduce shock from fall, hence if u drop you phone sideways it will crack
gorilla glass isn't made just from sand like other glass, it has aluminium oxide in it (you know.. the stuff sapphires and rubies are made of)

Please stop it with the Gorillas will ya. All this Gorilla talk is making me loopy.

Jesus, therz some stubbornly persistent ppl.
Corning had a patent for making GORILLA GLASS. It doesn't anymore. Once the patent expires, big companies usually start manufacturing their own version of the ex-patented product. it's cheaper and most of the times better, cuz it fits their exact needs. Moreover, sammy and corning play together for quite a while now.
So, NO, the Note doesn't have GORILLA glass but it does have a glass that is the same or better.
chrz and let's hope for no more threads on that sbj. starts to feel like a teen-problem forum here

Maybe the mods can create a new sub-forum dedicated to debating the glass used in the Note. That way we can talk about glass all day long without the clutter of less important topics related to using the phone.

So there you have it!

Damn! I just dropped my Note on the street while walking.
5 foot drop. Scratches on the corners. Part of the plastic rim around one of the edges of the glass jumped away. Glass fortunately still fully intact. No scratches.

I dropped it on the concrete floor 5 times now, once from a height of 1,5 m - no damage what so ever. Thank-you Samsung for choosing Gorilla Glass.

I dropped mine ~4ft onto concrete when getting out of my truck and it's practically undamaged. The plastic edge around the screen is scuffed on two corners (which I'll buff out at some point) but the screen is spotless, despite having landed face down. I've enjoyed over 2 months now of a slim, sexy, clear, case-free and screen protector-free phone.

After all the stories of scratched screens, I went ahead and got an SGP oleophobic screen protector for mine. While scratch protection may not be completely necessary, I will say that smudges are significantly reduced relative to my Galaxy Tab 10.1 with no SP. I'm actually sold on them after using this one.

Galaxy Note Definitely does have Gorilla Glass

OK, so this settles the question of Gorilla Glass on the Note.

I'll leave the screen protector for now. It's hard, shiny plastic that looks almost like glass. But after having an Galaxy S for a year and taking it to the moutains and the beach, and the screen is just perfect, I think the Note will be able to live without a screen protector too.

Gorilla glass can be easily scratched as any other regular glass, well its the coating thats scratched and not the actual glass. If the phone falls face down on concrete its either gonna shatter or not doesnt matter if its regular glass or gorilla.
So how is it moot, IMHO the moot point is knowing if its gorilla or not since the same care can be given to keep the device as prestine as possible.

Finally this stupid discussion comes to an end.
As if quality devices like this wouldn't be built with scratch resistant glass...

Well... 18 months of abusing my galaxy s without a scratch (case falling apart though!) Scratch on my Note after 1 day of similar pocket use...
I've had it for almost 2 months now with no more scratches but have used the flip case and been really careful.
I might have been unlucky but just being really carefully now.

oh you are correct my friend

Until now I had 4 Smartphones with Gorilla Glass. None of them got scratched although I used no screen protectors. The Note was scratched within 3 days But thats okay. It has a huge screen and I'm using no case or something else...

So how is it moot, IMHO the moot point is knowing if its gorilla or not since the same care can be given to keep the device as prestine as possible.

Very true.
It doesn't matter to me, but apparently it matters to some.

I couldn't agree more it would obviously come with a resistant glass. Gorilla glass is not scratch proof, it's just the truth, it's made to be shatter resistant and somewhat scratch resistant, in the end it is still glass it will scratch if it comes into contact with a hard substance. If someone expects their screen to be indestructable they're going to be disappointed.

I'm glad this is finally settled
BTW, samsung-corning product line is exactly identical to corning's product line.
