Does Vibrant really have gorilla glass or it only Euro Galaxy S?

Hello Everyone.
I saw a a video proving that galaxy s has a gorilla glass but that was the internation version not the vibrant!
Is there any official news that T-mobile vibrant has the same glass?
Because a lot of people assume vibrant does beacause it looks similar in design. Similar doesnt mean anything! Euro galaxy has a front cam while vibrant doesnt.
Can anyone confirm that vibrant has the gorilla glass or doesnt?
Because I applied a t-mobile screen protector and its very poor quality makes the screen look very grainy!
Thanx to all!

If you go to the corning website it states that the galaxy s has gorilla glass.

It says Galaxy S... it doesnt say T-mobile vibrant! Galaxy S could be any phone! Note since its a Korean website and samsung is a a Korean company they might only be making it for European/Korean Galaxy S models

It does... and you really needed multiple threads?

the big ass scratch right down the middle of my screen begs to differ, put it in my backpack when went to the beach, took it out later, and bam, huge ass scratch. good thing i have gorilla glass huh? fail
oh nevermind, post above me says tmob doesn't have gorilla glass. no wonder. was gonna say, this glass is pretty ****ty imo

I don't think the vibrant is gorilla glass, because I have several small scratches on my screen from only having it and my wallet in the same pocket.

i think it has chimpanzee glass, not too sure though

It's not gorilla glass.....mine is scratched already and it was from the metal clip on my belt...

wow. so many people complaining about scratches. i though i was the only one.
this is the FIRST phone (out of Nexus, MyTouch, iPhone, and few others) that has a deep scratch on the screen, and in LESS then a month, and with bodyglove ON

Yes i think you said it....it's one thing to get small lights scratches......but this is indeed a very deep scratch and you can see it no matter what you are doing with the phone...

I guess once again we got ripped off and this time its Gorilla Glass......
oh well, I am getting my replacement Vibrant tommorow and already have Steinheil anti fingerprint screen protector.

The Evo has Gorilla Glass. News to me.

Just checked their site, sure enough it is listed under HTC. so is our little bro the hero c. Pretty cool.

This is news to me as well. I thought only the Samsung Epic 4G was the only phone on Sprint with Gorrilla glass....and its not even listed !

I've seen this discussed many times before, no one ever comes to a definitive conclusion though. When the Evo was released, HTC reps confirmed it most certainly did NOT have Gorilla Glass, and many people have had minor scratching which backs that up.
Maybe it's a change affecting later revisions?

Guys the Evo does not have gorilla glass. I owned a Epic before and the glass on the epic feels totally different from the Evo's. Also, gorilla glass doesn't pick up as much finger prints as the glass used on the Evo.

Yeah. I don't know what they're smoking over at Corning (lot's of farm country around Corning NY so you never know what they might be growing). Don't know why the EVO is listed but I'm 99.99% sure it doesn't have Gorilla Glass. I know the Epic, Droid, and Droid X do and I'm pretty sure the Incredible does but not the EVO. I've played around with all 4 of those phones and the screen feels different that the EVO.

I second this, My boss has a Droid X. The glass feels totally different. I agree it is more resistent to finger prints. I LOVE the feel of the evo screen, however I can't use it w/o screen protector as if you have a bit of grit on your finger it will scratch the screen.

as stated....gorilla glass my ass

Maybe the newer models do. On my launch evo I used a screen protector. I have a rev 3 now and haven't had a screen protector for about 5 months. I work in the construction field and I only have one minor scratch.

The resistance to fingerprinting is probably because of an oleophobic coating like that on the (ahem) iPhone4. The glass itself shouldn't have a great difference in terms of tactile feel from any other smooth, thin glass. And I don't think Gorilla Glass is natively anti-skin oil.
As for breakage, Gorilla Glass will break too, especially on drops where one corner impacts the ground. Seen it happen with an iP4. Flat-face drops, drops where a side hits flush, and bending (torsion) are much better protected by GG than other types.

No way does it have Gorilla glass. I got my first scratch on it the other day, a minor one but dammit it's still there.

Everyone else email them and ask , I did. I would love to put this dog to sleep, regardless of if it does or not. For the record I think it infact does.
[email protected]
And for all of you who don't believe it is because it scratched, no one said gorilla glass is unbreakable, can't scratch bomb proof ****. It's name is gorilla glass and yes it is supposed to be stronger than regular glass. That's it....

I checked their site a few months ago and it wasn't listed. Either newer batches have it, or perhaps the 3d will. Hoping it will have it.

Feel a vibrant/galaxy s screen and feel ours and tell me that we have gorilla glass. If we really truly do, then we got the crap **** version of it.

You dont have gorilla? What does that mean, yours is the only phone that doesn't? Or none of ours do? Lmfao can't decode your sentence there...

Everyphone has it. But I'm sure some grains of minerals found in sand can scratch the screen.. maybe he found a really small diamond and that one grain scratched his screen.

the gorilla glass they use for sunrooms and stuff can be hit with a hammer and not break. my sisters boyfriend threw his g2 and shattered his screen and my sister dropped hers and now theres a crack going across the screen about 2/3 of the way down. i never got around to buying any screen protectors for mine but there are only one or two very minor scratches on the screen itself. i was hoping gorilla glass would mean the screen would be a lot harder to break, but apparently thats not the case.

How do you know every phone (I assume you mean "every G2") has Gorilla Glass? Just because Corning lists the G2 on their website as having GG does not guarantee that every G2 has it. HTC is free to switch materials whenever they want. In fact, they probably reserve the right to change whatever specs of the phone they want, without notice (if they even listed GG in the specs, which they do not). But you are probably right in that many high-end smartphones are using GG these days, so HTC is pretty likely to stick with it for all the G2's.
If you read the older Gorilla Glass thread I posted above, you will see there are other users that scratched the screen with normal use. GG is advertised as being "highly damage resistant", and its harder to scratch than "conventional" glass, but you can still scratch it.

I believe that GG was originally developed for helicopter windshields. But the thickness of those and the other uses (like you mentioned) are probably a lot thicker than the type used for smartphones. The GG surface treatment greatly increases the toughness of the glass, but its thickness will still be a factor. There were reports of iPhone 4 GG breaking the first week the phone was released, just from being dropped. While GG is pretty impressive, you can't take for granted its not going to break.

Yeah that's true. I've been pretty lucky so far with phone screens so far. And I probably shouldn't have said/typed that.

I think your post is a good one to have on here. Its good to know that some people have scratched or cracked the screen under fairly normal usage (well, maybe not the sisters BF throwing it!). Some people seem to think Gorilla Glass is indestructible.

It say's desire has gorilla glass, and I some how managed to get a deep scratch on the it which went through the lcd display.....It might vary with htc devices

Screen scratched!

So I've had my phone for a few days now, haven't received my case/screen protector yet..
I've noticed got 2 little scratches, isn't this gorilla glass?? I thought it was meant to be hard to scratch!

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

Do I have Gorilla Glass 2 on the front?

I have bought phone 3 months ago. IT felt on the street once - like a meter high from my hand. I got a break glass on the front in the corner. Everyhting is working - just a small crack. But the back is in one piece. That's is why I want to ask you - Nexus 4 owners - how to check if my phone have the Gorilla Glass 2 on the front?
I have checked the box, and quick start guide - no information about it. Also warranty does not have that information ?

Gorilla Street 3 breaks Gorilla Glass 2

Gorilla glass doesn't advertise shatter proof. Neither does gorilla glass 3 and 4 probably won't either. They advertise SCRATCH RESISTANCE. So if you drop your phone thinking it won't break because of gorilla glass, think again.
