Thought that I would let everyone knows that there is a scratch on my screen. I don't know what happened and it is there.
Me too. There was absolutely no reason. So much for Gorilla Glass....

Which is why I ordered a screen protector and am super careful until it arrives.
The A500 does not have Gorilla glass, the Iconia dual screen laptop uses GG.
According to corning's site, all 3 iconia's have gorilla glass. Just checked it now

Wrong.
"Corning® Gorilla® Glass is used by more than 30 major brands and has been designed into more than 400 product models. Today there are more than 300 million devices with Gorilla Glass being used by consumers around the world. 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. Ask your manufacturer or retailer to learn more.

Click on the top left to take you where yo will find the list of products with Gorilla Glass .
What you are seeing is probably not a scratch. Try getting some good screen cleaning liquid and a microfiber towel.
I am almost certain that it's real gorilla glass.
So am I to understand only a gorilla can scratch the screen??
Gorilla glass is not scratch proof. It is harder and stronger than most of the other glass products in use today. That simply means that it will do a better job resisting scratches and breakage. It is not invincible.
I've had other products with Gorilla glass and have been quite impressed, but it's still worth protecting the screen.
That said, I'm sorry to hear about the scratch. I know they make kits for buffing the scratches out of glass fish tanks, but I don't know if they'd be of help. They're likely to cause even more damage.
I wish I had access to just a plain piece of Gorilla glass - it would be interesting to try a few methods of repair.
Best of luck.
gorilla glass
Many appliances. Like oven microwave cook ware have gorilla glass. Its just a name lots of glass companies use similar procedures to produce strong glass. So you likely have some in your home
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.

NO! geezz don't waste our time starting a new thread with absolutely no evidence

I own 2 other devices with Corning Gorilla Glass; an Acer W500, my Galaxy S2.
I honestly don't think you know what Gorilla Glass is. Google it.
Use the search bar and find the other threads if you want proof, or contact corning yourself.

It looks like they may be using the lotus glass instead of gorilla glass
http://www.androidauthority.com/corning-unveils-lotus-glass-29195/
Isn't this a good thing since lotus glass has much tighter property and better display features than gorilla?

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)
pfft!
So it's magic?

I know it is not magic when seeing the scratchS on my GNote.
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.

lol. couldn't agree more.
On the Samsung Mobile Singapore facebook page, Samsung confirms that the Note has Gorilla Glass. This is the second time I've seen them say it!

Wow, thanks for that!
Now it's decided.
(Uh, do you think i'm being premature?)
I got proof!
I asked Samsung myself and they replyed with the answere: Yes, the galaxy note do have Corning´s gorilla glas. We´re sorry for not making this clear.
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.
Phone operating as before.
Really bummed, but could've been much much worse.

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.
I was wondering if our device has a scratch-resistant (Gorilla Glass), and i asked it on Samsung Live chat confirmed that it does have Gorilla Glass, but he doesn't know which version it is (I tought it's the first gen of Corning display)...
Screenshot attached!

bro that might be right but believe me at live chat people attending customers are like:sly::sly::sly:

I am not 100% sure but I think tab 2 don't have gorilla glass because if it has why would Samsung not make it official in product promotion????

Tab 2 no it doesn't have Corning Gorilla glass, the galaxy tab instead it.
See the section "product with gorrilla" on the site corninggorillaglass
googled it quick, and it seems it doesn't.
"Although the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 will not offer Gorilla Glass, it will offer Samsung's own Glass panel that offers impact, shatter and scratch resistance." - Samsung rep.
I think it is not the official Corning Gorilla Glass, but it has a resistant screen. I've seen a lot of drop test on youtube, and the SGT2 was the only tablet I've seen so far to resist falling directly on the screen.
Wish the screen had anti-fingerprint protection, because mine gets very oily, with low usage.
Hi
I have samsung note 3 and i am looking to buy scratch card
http://www.flipkart.com/capdase-pri...b_13&ref=b899ad89-c167-4203-aa96-00dc437306bf
but some of my friends saying that my phone comes with gorilla glass so suggest me no need of tempered glass as it wont work with it.
gorilla glass + tempered glass
so i requested you guys to help me out.
thanks in advance.
Even gorilla glass (1,2 & 3) can get scratched!
Glass screen protector may also protect the screen from drops as it its glass is almost tough as the Gorilla glass. Replacing an $8 glass screen protector is much cheaper than the $250 replacement screen.

Yes these days high-end phones comes with temper glass which doesn’t get light scratches like other does easily. But they still get scratches easily. So its always better to protect it. I ordered the phone with a SP and when I unboxed 1st thing I did is put the SP on.
So definitely you should get a screen protector immediately, mostly for the Note 3’s Lovely screen. But using any SP may damage the visibility. So always get a quality one. But for general use I don’t see any purpose of using tempered glass thicker one, I’m not going to scratch with a hammer on the phone. I don’t make sense why people use those.
Also as it’s a phone I cant see any purpose of Privacy Screen Protector, this can damage user’s visibility if you see from a tilted side, like watching movie in landscape view. And 1.4k INR for a screen protector? No way, I would never ever buy that.
I ordered this one from FK and still its working great, no damages in visibility.

Hello everyone. I recently bought the Tab A 2016 10.1" with S Pen and was wondering if the display had gorilla glass? If so, what version? I can't seem to find this information anywhere online. Thanks
Don't think so.
Corning (the manufacturer of Gorilla Glass) lists all devices with Gorilla Glass on their homepage.
https://www.corning.com/gorillaglass/worldwide/en/full-product-list.html
The Galaxy Tab A is not listed there. Though neither are most other Samsung tablets. Even the high priced ones are missing.
Seems Gorilla Glass is mostly used in phones. Maybe for such big tablet displays Gorilla Glass is too expensive, or doesn't provide the same advantages as for smaller screens? Unlike phones you usually don't carry around tablets in your pockets where they could be scratched by keys. Which I suppose is the most common kind of damage where Gorilla Glass might actually help.
