Many of us think that Corning Gorilla Glass is just about strength and pressure resistant glass. I was reading this article about Corning Gorilla Glass, which tells that Corning is working on two new coatings for the Gorilla Glass. One is the anti-reflective coating, other one is the anti-microbial coating. You can read there details on the link above. I just want to know what do you guys think? Are any opticians out there with some constructive discussion about these coatings?

The anti-reflective coating will be awesome if it actually works. I think the screens need to be sunlight readable though to have much of a benefit. Otherwise you'd have no reflections but still have a washed out display.
Good for reading in the sun and not worrying about nasty hands when other people borrow your phone! But of course, my gorilla glass got scratched by my keys in my pocket

does it have gorilla glass?
according to cornings website it does
Nope no gorilla glass, Acer confirmed to me the other day that the screen is a Cinecrystal LED backlit, TFT LCD, tempered glass with fingerprint resistant coating.
I think it's the Iconia double screen laptop that has the gorilla glass.

Its says on gorilla glass website as having it.

Interesting, that's been updated since I last looked, also odd that acer wouldn't confirm that when I asked them.
Great news if it is Gorilla glass though!
def nice if so. Would like to know for sure so if or if not to get screen protector.
True story. Wrote Acer 4 separate times thus 4 different people vs. followups regarding the type of RAM in the A500. Terra 250 ventana is supposed to support DDR2 667, but many blogs and sites with FCC sourced specs say DDR3 so I wanted to confirm.
3 say DDR3, 1 says DDR2. What shall I believe?
Point/Morale? You get it, right?
Would be cool if G glass was in it. Says so on their website so I'm inclined to believe it.

The answer is *NO*.
http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/full-products-list
Galaxy Note and Galaxy Nexus does not have Gorilla Glass. Full list above.
DISCLAIMER: Next statement is not my own research, just copied from another post.
Gorilla Glass was trademarked in 2008 for Corning's alkali aluminosilicate glass, their patent for such glass ran out some 20 years ago, anyone can make as much alkali aluminosilicate glass as they want without having to pay Corning for a name, Apple uses alkali aluminosilicate glass in the iPhone not Gorilla Glass. Using a non-name version isn't what makes them fail drop tests, since alkali aluminosilicate glass isn't shatterproof by whatever you call it but due to the design of the phone itself, alkali aluminosilicate glass is just more scratch resistant and a bit more bendable.
Also note that Corning has collaboration with Samsung for manufacturing of glass:

Right. But question remains why would Samsung not mention it if it's there? Samsung mentioned previously when they used Gorilla glass in their devices.
I'm really curious if the GNote has Gorilla Glass, I wanted it to be my first device that I didn't have to apply a screen protector to! Strange how there's no official word from Samsung to confirm whether GGlass is included or not.
So, regardless of gorilla glass, is anyone using a screen protector?

Good advice I'll probably invest in a screen protector anyway then. However I for one would have been satisfied if samsung officially confirmed it's gorilla glass instead of third party sources. Right now I still don't know who to believe.

When the note was first announced on sep 1st, the official samsung page listed it as having gorilla glass. I see now that it has gone from their page.
Quite dissapointed, I did buy it believing that it had it, seeing as I was all over this thing from the moment it was announced. Gorilla glass was one of the first specs I sought to confirm

Personally I dislike screen protectors. One thing that's really good about the Note screen is how it just does not pick up finger marks. It's amazingly resistant to prints. Better than any device I've used in the past. Maybe if you text after munching through a KFC family bucket it might show something... I doubt if a screen protector would have as a good a resistance. My preference is to just use the official flip cover.

Eagerly awaiting for an official statement or reply to you, stating whether that the Note does indeed haven't got a Gorilla or equivalently strong enough front glass.
NO
I have the streak (for sale) and the S.G.Note,
only the streak has the real Corning gorilla glass, the difference is evident:
you can knock your fingernail against the glass: TOC TOC vs TAC TAC (no tic-tic but neither toc-toc as real and powerfull gorilla glass )
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.

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.
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

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.

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.
Phone operating as before.

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.
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.

So people can decide whether or not to throw their device against a wall or not...
Cause apparently guerilla glass= I can abuse my device to no extent.

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...

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

The facts matter, and the fact is the Note has a high quality scratch resistant screen, obvious from the start.
And of course;

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.
