Check out the drop tests
http://techcrunch.com/2011/10/17/wa...xy-s-ii-take-three-nasty-drops-onto-concrete/
I've already dropped mine three times and it still looks good.. mind you I have no case for it..
Sent from another Galaxy
One my first drop i got 2 big scratches
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
You could take the audio from the first drop and loop it for the rest of the video and no one would know the difference.
OT: It's nice that it's resilient since my phone is always naked. I'm sure I'll drop it eventually...
There may be something else going on...
Granted, it doesn't have glass on the front and back like the iPhone, but I wouldn't expect the screen to be better than the iPhone's, in terms of impact resistance.
This may be a bit like the Mythbuster's episode, where they were trying to scale up that office chrome-ball executive toy up to the scale of wrecking balls...
Scaled up from small chrome balls to larger all steel balls, the experiment worked beautifully. When they scaled up to full-size however, they just used steel discs, and poured concrete on either side to simulate balls. And the experiment failed.
Why?
Steel is dense, and doesn't absorb energy. Concrete, apparently, does. Called "damping" in the audio world, they make special adhesive asphalt mats to stick to car sheet metal to absorb and "damp" vibrations in the panels
Although it's no Nerf phone, I'm thinking the SGSII's all plastic construction inside absorbs energy better than the aluminum and glass chassis on the iPhone.
And if it hit the screen, I think it would shatter like the iPhone. The difference here is, our screen is fully surrounded by plastic, where the iPhone screen is a fully exposed slab of glass rising above the aluminum antennas (sides of the phone). And back also. So, on a drop, there's more chance of actually impacting the glass.
Obviously having less glass to break helps, but the iPhone screen is more likely to break from a direct impact than the Samsung screen. iPhone's are known for being fragile, while Samsung uses Gorilla Glass which is known to be very durable by comparison. (I don't know if Apple uses any sort of special glass, or if the 4S is any different than it's predecessors.)
Why it's more resilient doesn't really matter though. At the end of the day, dropping your E4GT is far less likely to set you back repair costs than dropping your iPhone.
iPhone 4 uses gorilla glass, on both sides. That's why it shatters so easily... it resists scratches, but that process of increasing that strength makes it less flexible and shatters easier. That's the trade off of gorilla glass.
I've heard rumors the SGS glass uses gorilla glass, but you hear that rumor on any fan forum about every phone coming out by any manufacturer.
I'd believe it if there was one thing from Samsung saying that.
Iphone 4S - 140g.
SGS 2 - 116g.
I dropped mine a couple times. Then a few days later I noticed my screen was cracked. Its up on the top left corner and really hard to even notice.

As far as I was aware the iPhone uses Gorilla Glass ONLY on the front of the iPhone and NOT on the back which is why we see so many more cracked backs than fronts.
And Samsung HAS made it clear the SGS and SGSII use Gorilla Glass. It's been widely publicized and confirmed.
Iphone doesn't use Gorilla Glass.
Gorilla Glass is both scratch resistant and shatter resistant.

A little searching and you can find countless people that have checked with Samsung or Sprint directly. Samsung's on site explicitly states the SGSII has it: http://www.samsung.com/africa_en/news/newsRead.do?news_seq=27702. So does Corning: http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/full-products-list. It's not quite proof the E4GT has it though, but it's about as sure as you can be without seeing it on Samsung's site.
I see a lot of mixed information about the iPhone glass. Supposedly Apple claims it has Gorilla Glass on the back and front (I don't see it on their site), but many people think it may have regular glass on the back because there's a much higher rate of shattering the back glass compared to the front. It looks like it may be a custom glass that's similar to Gorilla Glass but falls short. In fact, the iPhone 4 is advertised on Apple's site as having an aluminosilicate screen. The wording on the iPhone 4S page is almost identical and neither type of glass is specifically mentioned, leading me to think it's not Gorilla Glass.
Regarding shatter resistance, there is no trade off. It most certainly does not shatter easier. Nowhere will you find that statement corroborated.
At the end of the day though, the iPhone seems to have a well documented history of fragility in comparison to known Gorilla Glass equipped smartphones. So far, the E4GT seems far more durable.
PS ilostmypistons: it says right on that page it's not a comprehensive list. And Apple is exactly the type of company I would expect to hide the 'technical' details. So that means the page can't be trusted completely.

thing is most brands of device do use Gorilla Glass...not all advertise it, the GG website gets updated every now and again to include it...it's not that expensive...and I don't get what the big deal is. It still shatters easily and sand can still scratch it so I need a screen protector, so, I don't really take claims of something supposedly having Gorilla Glass being all that unbelievable. Additionally I believe they sell the same exact formula hardened glass, likely for less, under a different moniker.

There are videos of a guy using his car key to try and scratch his Samsung Galasy SII screen. This phone DOES have Gorilla Glass.
Given that the phone has gorilla glass, do you guys thing the phone even need a protective screen cover?
Coming to the end of 2 yr. contract with dhd with screen protector that is looking A little beat up, so am on the fence right now.
any thoughts gratefully recd!
Al
Yes, if you ever plan to re-sale down the road, it will help on pricing. Plus, if you do get scratches, at least its on the screen protector.
Yes, I learned this the hard way on my Galaxy Nexus.
Yes, especially considering how many layers are all glued together. Don't want to replace all that, all at once
better be safe than sorry. also, if you're planning to resell the phone to get better value in the future, it's better to have screen protector.
ive never had a screen protector on any of my smarthphones.
i might try one on this phone though. its my first super expensive smarthphone.
Yes holding this phone is like trying to talk into a living big mouth bass.

1. Yes, you need the screen protector. I learned it the hard way: Desire with scratched screen.
2. Yes, this is my first super expensive phone ever. Never went above €400 before...but this...I know €600...just could not resist
No, didn't for the s2 and no problems. Any scratches should be tiny, and invisible when you're using the thing.
Never had a screen protector on any phone for the past 14 years, not about to start now both my HD2 and S2 have stayed in pristine condition without.

wow, $2 screen protector is too much for you guys? Do you even need to ask this question? I've used it on my iphone4 since day one with nice gel cover and same with LG O3D. Both look like new when i take them out of the cover. O3D is since last Sept 2011 and Iphone 4 i bought in Sept 2010. Already got good trade in price for ip4 for SIII. Coud'nt wait to get the screen protector for it as well as hard plastic cover which enhances the look of the phone.
Gorilla glass or bullet proof glass it's your gadget you should do whatever it takes to minimize wear and tear. My 2008 Lumina SS still wows passengers as they can't believe it's almost 4 years old car.
Nothing to do with the cost of a screen protector,I just really can't see why I would want one. As I've said, in 14 years of owning mobiles I'm yet to scratch a screen (or drop a phone). I don't use a case either unless I go to the beach - my phone, my choice. Do you guys also wrap all your furniture in plastic so that it doesn't get damaged?

I've never used a screen protector on my Droid X and there isn't a mark on the screen. My assumption is that Gorilla Glass 2 is even better than Gorilla Glass so I'm not considering a screen protector on my SIII when it arrives. I just don't think any screen saver feels like the original glass of the phone and I just don't like them in general.

Gorilla glass 2 is stronger than 1, but they use less of it to make the phone thin as possible.
I don't know if thickness has anything to do with resisting scratches as I would need to look at their data sheet and experiments but I do know that you will have the same impact resistances.
They advertise "same strength at less thickness" when they presented it a few months back. So don't expect the SGS3 to be better than the SGS2, but expect GG2 to be better than GG1 at the same thicknesses.
Thx to all you guys that responded!
I might look up the specs of gorilla glass and see how scratch proof it is... would pref to go without cover if poss, but then i see the fairly mangled cover of my dhd and think hmmmm!!!

HOW IS CORNING® GORILLA® GLASS 2 DIFFERENT?
Gorilla Glass 2 can be up to 20 percent thinner than the original, but still just as tough. This exceptional thinness enables greater design possibilities for slimmer and sleeker devices with brighter images and improved touch sensitivity. Gorilla Glass 2 is elegant and lightweight, but scratch resistant and durable enough to withstand the unexpected abuses of everyday life.
WHY DO I WANT GORILLA GLASS ON MY DEVICES?
Scrapes, bumps, and drops are a fact of life, but Gorilla Glass enables your device to resist damage from the abuses that come with everyday use. Gorilla Glass also has strong aesthetic appeal. It’s thin, lightweight, and cool to the touch – enabling the sleekest designs.
CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE ION-EXCHANGE PROCESS?
Ion exchange is a chemical strengthening process where large ions are “stuffed” into the glass surface, creating a state of compression. Gorilla Glass is specially designed to maximize this behavior.
The glass is placed in a hot bath of molten salt at a temperature of approximately 400°C. Smaller sodium ions leave the glass, and larger potassium ions from the salt bath replace them. These larger ions take up more room and are pressed together when the glass cools, producing a layer of compressive stress on the surface of the glass. Gorilla Glass’s special composition enables the potassium ions to diffuse far into the surface, creating high compressive stress deep into the glass. This layer of compression creates a surface that is more resistant to damage from everyday use.
WHAT MAKES GORILLA GLASS SO DAMAGE RESISTANT?
The unique composition of Gorilla Glass allows for a deep layer of high compressive stress (created through an ion-exchange process). This compression acts as a sort of “armor,” making the glass exceptionally tough and damage resistant.
HOW DO I KNOW IF GORILLA GLASS IS ON MY DEVICE?
Gorilla Glass is currently used by more than 33 major brands, designed into hundreds of product models, and featured on more than 750 million devices. Check out this list for the most current, comprehensive collection of devices that Corning can confirm for Gorilla Glass.
DOES THIS LIST INCLUDE ALL DEVICES THAT HAVE GORILLA GLASS?
No, unfortunately, customer agreements prevent us from identifying all the devices that feature Gorilla Glass. This list shows all devices we can talk about. We’ll continue to update the list as customers allow us to share that information.
CAN I BREAK GORILLA GLASS?
If subjected to enough abuse, Gorilla Glass can break. However, Gorilla Glass is better able to survive the real-world events that most commonly cause glass to scratch, chip, or break.
I LIKE THE IDEA OF GREATER DAMAGE RESISTANCE, BUT WON’T GORILLA GLASS ADD BULK TO MY DEVICE?
Corning’s ion-exchange process makes Gorilla Glass exceptionally durable, while allowing it to remain thin and lightweight enough to enable the sleekest smartphones and slates. Gorilla Glass can be produced at a thinness of 0.5 millimeters just four times thicker than a human hair.
IS IT TRUE THAT GORILLA GLASS WAS ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED IN THE 1960S?
No. That has been a popular myth, which apparently resulted from a misunderstanding of the facts. It’s true that Corning experimented with chemically strengthened glass in 1960, as part of an initiative called “Project Muscle.” In 1961, Corning developed a glass composition it promoted under the Chemcor® brand, which featured state-of-the-art strength and durability. Chemcor glass was incorporated into tableware, ophthalmic products, and applications for the automotive, aviation, and pharmaceutical industries. When Corning began developing a tough new cover glass for electronic devices in 2006, Corning scientists, of course, drew upon the company’s prior expertise with strengthened glass. However, Corning Gorilla Glass is a different product and glass composition than Chemcor. We implemented significant compositional as well as other changes to achieve superior product characteristics including outstanding damage resistance, while making the glass compatible with Corning’s proprietary fusion-draw manufacturing process. Corning’s fusion-draw process produces exceptionally thin glass with unparalleled surface quality. The result is a tough and damage-resistant glass that is ideal for today’s sleekest electronic devices and most sophisticated touch technology.
IS GORILLA GLASS RECYCLABLE?
Yes. Gorilla Glass is environmentally friendly and can be recycled.
Depends...
My G1 didn't have gorilla glass and after nearly 2 years it was scratch free. I had one on my Samsung GS1 (don't know if it did anything though), but I didn't put one on my Thunderbolt, Droid1, DX1, Bionic, or my Sensation and those are all just fine. Gorilla glass 2 can be scratched, I mean it's still just glass. Gorilla Glass2 can also break. Sadly a screen protector will not prevent your screen from breaking; They only prevent hairline scratches which really shouldn't lower the resale price more than what you would have spent on the screen protector and huge bulky case anyway. I personally like my phones naked.
Just take care of it, don't run around with keys or a bag of sand in your pocket and your phone should be just fine.

I prefer them naked.

Actually, a soft screen protector will work as a shock absorber and turn impact energy into heat. This means that it actually does reduce the risk of screen damage. It's fairly basic physics.
Skickat från min GT-I9300 via Tapatalk 2
I didn't put one on my GS1 and to this day it doesn't have a single scratch on the screen. The back cover...that's another story. I've even taken it to the beach on several occassions. I don't plan on putting a screen protector on my GS3.
I prefer the feel of the glass without anything on it.
Hello
Is it true that the screen of gnex does not have gorilla glass and is not protected and it only got Oleophobic coating?
Is it scrachable?
Yes, it don't have gorilla glass but it has an other kind of fortified glass. The oleophobic coating don't protect the screen. It only let it stay cleaner and make it easier to remove fingerprints.
Of course it is scratchable. Like every other glass, including gorilla glass. It is just way more scratch resistant than unfortified glass.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
yeah...but i heard that it is easier for the gnex to get scratched than other devices like s2 or the sensation...is it true?
No, that's not necessarily true. If you look up "Galaxy Nexus Scratch Test" you will find tons of videos and reviews about it. Just because it isn't Gorilla Glass doesn't mean it's not just as resistant (or even more-so by that matter)... GG is just a brand name that everyone creams their pants over, not necessarily better than a no-name brand... (same concept applies to pharmaceutical drugs )
Screen
Unfortunately, Nexus screen is more vulnerable then other Samsung products.
Fortunately, there are procectors to solve the problem.
Hello. I just ordered a OnePlus one, and now I'm looking for the accessories.
I actually have a Note 2 with a tempered glass screen protector. The other day I've met a friend that works on the construction and he died me his Note 2 that he had been using since 6 months ago, and the screen was perfect, without a mark. He sweared that had the phone dropped several times and the screen was, as I said, perfect.
It made me think that maybe the OPO with a Corning Gorilla Glass 3, maybe it doesn't make much sense to use one of these screen protector.
What to you guys think?
Not necessary but if you want the extra protection go for it.
I personally don't use screen protectors but its ultimately up to you.
I don't usually run screen protectors but I'm glad I got one for my OPO.
After a few days of owning it I noticed some super light scratches on the bottom of the screen. This was during the brand new period of owning it and the screen had not touched anything except empty pants pocket, my fingers, and t-shirt for cleaning.
Thankfully my ozrly tempered glass protector showed up the next day, and I've been running that since. Pretty happy with it.
Tl;dr: I'd run a lot of phones naked, but not this one.
Precisely, as this is a cheap phone, and also has gorilla glass,I don't see the necessity as in a Note 3 or an iPhone...
as cheap as it is at $360, a $6 protector won't hurt your wallet

The phone is inexpensive but difficult to repair or replace. I see someone doesn't know the difference between the cost of something and how valuable something is.
I always keep my phone in a dedicated empty pocket but it always gets the random light scratch over its lifetime. A good $15-$25 glass screen keeps it looking new. That way when you pull out your device you don't look like some kind of a hobo.
The Ringke Fusion comes with a screen protector free of charge when you buy the case by the way.

All you need to scratch your screen is a grain of sand.
Are glass protectors mandatory? of corse not, otherwise they would come in the package with the phone. That said, i firmly beleave they are a "must have" for any phone, as you will regret not having one as soon as you get a scratch on it. for my xperia z2 it lasted 1 week 'till i regreted not having one, when for the first time I went "YOLO" on a phone.
You don't need a 30 dollar glass protector, I've had all kinds of brands and prices and all i have to say is that they are all the same, the only thing I insist on is rounded edges, so you don't feel it as much.
I'm on my second OPO, since I sold my first one after it fell face down, slightly tilted up, since it damaged the chrome ring on the top. When it fell, along with the dent, the glass screen protector was shattered on the top left. If you did not realize this so far, the only reason my "amazing gorilla glass" did not shatter aswell is that the protector took the hit for it (shattering to spread the energy). Gorilla glass is made to take scratches, not falls.
Finally, it is up to you. Do i think you do not need a normal plastic screen protector? well, you don't. Do you need a GLASS screen protector? after my experience my opinion can only be yes. I am currently waiting for a new one and have a crappy regular protector on.
Ultimate shield has proven to be a very good, not very expensive, and reliable seller for every phone I got it for (htc one m7, note 3, xperia z2, OPO)
Not absolutely necessary, but you really can scratch the phone screen.
Plastic screen protectors scratch really easy because they are plastic. So even if it protects the screen they end up looking like crap. That's where tempered glass protectors shine, it protects the screen and still looks really nice (albeit at a higher cost).
Tempered glass screen protector is never necessary until...well, until you drop the phone once on a wrong surface...
Take your risk.
I never really believed in tempered glass, until I saw more videos on these types of ion-reinforced glass. They are definitely not indestructible. As somebody above stated, all it takes is a grain of sand for there to be a micro-scratch on the screen. It's from these nearly-invisible weaknesses that the screen will crack when exposed to force when dropped. I believe the reason is that Gorilla Glass 3 is around 6-7 on the Moh's hardness scale, which is harder than metal, which is why keys and knives don't scratch it, but not as hard as sand or rocks.
So in other words, some type of protector will prevent these micro-scratches. The question is then, plastic or tempered glass? I've always used plastic on the last dozen or so phones and tablets I've had, but even the best plastic one (Belkin) still definitely felt plastic in their friction, it wasn't as smooth as glass, and a year later, there are small scratches in it.
Yes, it's true that the OPO is cheap enough that if you smash it, it's not a huge deal, and yes, there was a screen replacement kit I saw in another thread that was $110 or something, BUT it's the time and hassle. For me, slapping on a $15 glass protector (which I found easier to apply than previous plastic protectors), is worth it.
With the OPO, I decided to try a Nilkin tempered glass protector, and it feels as smooth as the original glass, which is great if you're a power user that does alot of quick inputs. It also seems to be very resistant to scratches so far, but I don't believe it's the 9H that they stated in the ad. The downside is that it's definitely noticeably thick, you can see it from the side, and you can feel the edges next to the cutouts.
PS. I'm no expert, so take it as you will.
My screen scrathed its hairline but it did i now have a thin glass screen protector .25mm thick very thin and looks amazing $6 was shipped from china less then week

I own the iphone 5 and it too like all phones are prone to light surface scratches. Better put some protection on it
So Google chose to go with Dragontail Glass rather than Gorilla Glass... How is it standing up? Is it worth it to get a tempered glass screen protector with it? And which Dragontail Glass is it, regular, X or Pro?
I haven't used a screen protector in years, mostly carry it in my shirt pocket and pants pocket by itself with nothing else, and haven't had any noticeable scratches or issues with the screen... I did order a simple Ringke Fusion case, but is a tempered glass screen protector really needed anymore?
I guess it is personal preference.
I still always use a tempered glass screen protector on my phones. I don't feel like they negatively affect the way I interact with the screen and Dragontail/Gorilla glass will still scratch. I also think it helps protect the screen if the phone is dropped. So for me, there is no downside and plenty of upside.
I put one on my XL as soon as it was unboxed. It actually has a crack in the screen protector right now - I think due to the fact that the phone flexes a little. I bought a box of 4 protectors, but I simply haven't had a chance to replace it yet. I'm not sure that whatever caused the screen protector to crack would have been enough to crack the phones screen if I didn't have the protector on it (I doubt that it would have - as I think it happened while the phone was in my pocket) but certainly having the screen protector on the phone helped strengthen the phone and prevented it from flexing as much as it would have without one.
Same hardness as the gorilla glass so if you weren't having scratching problems with naked gorilla you wont have problems with this screen. It does score lower than gorilla on bending break tests, there is a specific name for that test but I don't recall it. At an rate that isn't helped with glass screen protectors so you should be able to continue your naked ways without concern. I'm with you BTW, haven't used one in years and haven't had any problems.

Yeah, I've never had scratch issues before... Even after 2 years the screen is basically perfect. Thanks for confirming my hopes.
