I didnt buy a screen shield because i was told the droid/milestone use gorilla glass which makes it almost impossible to scratch the screen , boy i was WRONG, my milestone has like 4 scratches, two are just visible when the screen is off so its ok , but the other two are VERY VISIBLE, they're almost staring me , when i use apps with white backgrounds such as the messaging app and the browser the scratches "leak light" , i've become obsessed
Theres nothing i can do know but to advise all of you to buy a screen protector
Yes, and I can recommend the screen protectors from Martin Fields The price is average, but it's like that thing is invisible...no touch screen sensibility problems, scratch resistant and light absorbing...
The only phone I'm having which is scratch proof is the Nokia 8600 Luna. I've never saw another phone without scratches...

you sure about that?im really concerced about screen sensibilty
well, I don't want to sound like a sales representative, but I really have to admit that I didn't notice any change in touch sensibility (at least I didn't notice it)...I had a HTC Tattoo before and bought the screen protector from Martin Fields also for that one and there also was no change in sensibility...
it's only 0,2 mm thick by the way
Why, that's no thicker than a condom.

Gorilla Glass doesn't sucks... The perception that it is un-scratchable sucks.
Unfortunately this thing is poorly market and no one makes any effort to properly tell you that, altough Gorilla Glass is really harder and really much more difficult to scratch, it is easily scratched by diamonds (well, that is life, diamonds are harder than almost anything) and quartz (which is commonly found on dust and sand). Usually scratches come from friction from jewels with the screen or friction of dust/sand in your pockets or something else with the screen. I can tell you that I take care to not store my phone in dusty places or places where jewels are nearby, and never had any scratch on it, it has even fallen once or twice, screen down.
Mutch better than, per say, my old Nokia E51 (which I love BTW), that had scratchs of just taking it off my pocket and putting it on my pocket...
The main selling point of gorilla glass is its strength, it's really hard to break : It is hard to SMASH AND CRACK. the scratch resistant is just a marketing scheme.

I've never used any type of screen protection and not a scratch. It goes in my pockets dropped it a few times all good. A few nicks on the edges but glass is fine. Gorilla Glass rox!

This "Its awesome Gorilla Glass, dude! No Scratches and cracks never ever" is only marketing. There is every time a way to scratch and break this thingy.
THe first thing I am doing after purchasing a Gadget with a screen like Handhelds or Smartphones is to apply a really top quality Screen Protector. I have a screen protector on my Motorola Milestone and I am really glad that Ive done that.
So, don't trust always the adverts.
I use the matte screen protector from hong kong for like 20cent price and it is virtually without any scratches.
Also it is great because it doesn't attract fingerprints and is easier to swipe upon.
Strongly recommended!

Not me. I will never buy a screen protector. All my phones never had one but all of them looks good as new. If you put your phone in your pocket, Never put anything else and it will be fine.
well i use quite cheap screen protector since a few months, before that, nothing happend to my screen either, but i thought it could be good to make sure it stays like that.
c'mon nothing is indestructible.
I used a screen protector religiously on my old Nokia phone, but my Milestone gets beat up every day with no protector and still looks good. At this point, I would consider Gorilla Glass a plus on the spec sheet, but not necessarily a guarantee that the screen is indestructible. Can't hurt, though.
My phone have for some reason only mini scratches, you can only see them with the right light angle, for somehow it cant get big scratches, I tried on a corner ofcourse
Gorilla Glass
I think gorilla glass is a joke. The first day I had my Motorola Photon, I dropped it and the screen broke in a hundred pieces. Had to get a new one and I promised myself I would be careful.. Didn't install a screen saver because I thought the glass would be like a ceramic crystal on a watch. Well, after three scratches on my glass, I decided to put a screen saver on. AS far as I'm concerned gorilla glass only has one good property. That is it's name. For corning to put their name on this product is a joke. Steve
yep, gorilla glass is marketing joke. use matte screen protectors
Hi People,
I got my HTC ONE today and I'm super excited to use it. Its screen resolution and processor is faster than my laptop so you can imagine my excitement.!
However, I have one doubt. Since this device has Gorilla Screen v2 on it, do we really need a screen guard? I have already ordered a leather case but will having the screen guard help?
Your inputs would be appreciated.!
Thanks!

Gorilla : Vickers hardness = 622~701, Mohs scale = 5.5~6.0
Gorilla 2: Vickers hardness = 534~649, , Mohs scale = 5.0~5.5
Of course you need a screen protector. If it is Gorilla 3, such as Galaxy S4 used, then you may not need it.

Source of this? You're likely saying that Gorilla glass 1 is stronger than the newer gorilla glass 2 which seems like the opposite if you ask me... Unless gorilla glass is playing tricks with us and wants to lose it's profits.

I think a more accurate representation of it would be that it's been made software but less shatter prone, as people in general would take a scratch over a crack. I don't know what they've done with v3.
I ordered one
I ordered the Spigen screen guard .... Just wanted 2 make sure since there is an additional care when you dont want to get your first scratch!
Since it's nearly impossible to replace the screen a screen protector would be a good idea. Better safe than sorry.
The HTC One X was the first phone that I didn't use a screen protector on. It never had a scratch on it and I think it also used gorilla glass 2. I couldn't find any screen protectors in the mall for the One yet so I bought an iPad Mini screen protector and cut it to size. It looks pretty crappy lol. I was hoping that I could use the One without a SP but I'm afraid to ruin this beautiful screen.

I think it all depends on your track record with past screens like I'm pretty careful and don't use sp I just have a pouch love the look of this phone, I've just ordered a cheap soft gel case and that comes with a sp not sure if I will use it..

I have a bad history with screen protectors since I suck at putting them on. I also absolutely hate cases, especially the chunky ones you see phones in today.
I used neoprene Nexus One pouches for my previous Android phones, but only when they were in my pocket or I was walking/running with them in my hand. Of course with the One's 4.7" screen that's not no longer an option. When I bought the phone on Wednesday I declined the Tmo employee's recommendations for cases and/or screen covers. However, while walking back to my car and examining the beautiful screen I changed my mind and went back to get a screen protector (which the Tmo guy applied nearly perfectly) for $25.
Interestingly I stopped using my pouch altogether for my Amaze over the last month or so and not a single scratch/marking has appeared on the screen or anywhere else.
If you are worried about very light scratches, I would recommend a screen protector.

GG3 has the same hardness as GG2. Its just thinner and more brittle.

I touch on this in my 'Guide: Perfect Screen Protector Install' post, but let me summarize.
Though the advent of Gorilla Glass (and other similar products that are based on the same or similar compositions but don't have a cool name) help reduce the severity or probability of scratches or shatters, the key word is 'reduce', not "eliminate".
I have, on many occasions, dropped my phone face down. Had it not been for the 3M Vikuiti on my Inspire, I have no doubt I'd have a chip or other blemish on the screen. If you've ever seen (or known of) a car that had a chip in the windshield, you'll know it never gets better, and can with the right conditions, bloom into a full-out crack.
Right now I have the Spigen/SGP crystal on my One for the same reason. For fifteen bucks, is it really worth taking a risk? We're talking about a $600 phone, folks. Just because you've been subsidized by your carrier and only came out of pocket for $200 doesn't mean it will cost any less to replace it.
Just sayin'. YMMV.

Hello,thanks for your message.
Mi 3 have no gorilla glass.
Thanks
Yours Sincerely,
Melody

so yeah no gorilla glass.... atleast they say. and they confirmed that it has the msm8274ab cpu. but then again no gorilla glass okay but the screen is hard? i had a lg l9 and the screen was just flexible plastic. it fell once on a little stone and the lcd broke, and touchscreen not i mean i could press on the lcd without any pressure. realy bad. the xiaomi mi3 atleast has a HARD screen i hope no flex/cheap plastic
I'm pretty sure that it has gorilla glass 3. I've got it since february without any case and the screen is perfect. If it fell in a stone, you can say goodbye to the glass, but is the same with every smartphone, you must be careful.
i think there is a different between scratch resistant and shatter proof, and gorilla glass 3 is a scratch resistant.
Maybe not gorilla glass but something els.
But the screen is good? I mean its hard just Like gorilla glass?
And my lg L9 slipt out of my hands and fell on a rock. Little one but for that cheap plastic screen was enough to bend and touch the lcd and break it. I was choqued cause the the tou hscreen didnt break more (it already broke how dont know it was standing up on the ground and sliped and fell on the screen and broke the touchscreen. I was like wtf how. It was already on the ground didnt fall. Just sliped on the screen and broke the rouchscreen.
Bref bad experiancs with that cheap lg phone.

The glass broke from 1 cm fall.....
And the lcd broke 2 weeks later from a drop out of my hand to a stone. Normaly u would say the glass break nooo the LG isnt glass its plastic so it didnt break but flexed and broke the lcd... fricking dumb cheap phone
I think xiaomi doesnt use Gorilla Glass 3 anymore, they use Dragontrail glass.
Hi everyone, I got the S6 Edge and I really enjoy it, this is for me the best smartphone ever regardless the price ^^
As we all know, the S6 and S6 edge are protected by the last Corning solution : The Gorila Glass 4. This one is great against scratches and damages according to some videos on youtube.
So I was wondering if we really need a screen protector - due to the expensive price for a GOOD one which covered all the two curved parts. I can't imagine to put one without having the two edges parts uncovered : , I've already done this to my NOTE EDGE and trust me this is really ugly

http://www.mobilefun.com/53060-olix...ge-tempered-glass-curved-screen-protector.htm
Did someone already have scratches on his S6 or S6 EDGE ?
what do you guys think about the resistance of the Gorilla Glass 4 ?
To sum it up, what do you advice me to do ?
Thanks a lot , kind of i'm getting a little bit confused with that
i think you will always get micro scratches over time, i dont use cases find them ugly and in the way but its always a risk, i myself will be getting a tempered glass front and back when they are available
There was scratches on the demo units at the launch event...any screen will scratch even GG4. It comes down to whether it will bother you if it does scrtach, and if you're willing to take the risk?

Do you need a screen protector, the answer is depends on how much you like your screen. The cost to replace the screen is $200 the cost to replace a tempered glass screen protector is $20-40 depending on the device. The Amzer Kristal product is still in mfg and will be here (soon) when its ready. For now I have a simple clear screen protector, but glass is always better.
BTW, my co-worker and his wife both have iphone 6+, she didn't think she need a glass screen protector, well she dropped hers and yup broke the screen, $200 later new screen, then a week later and still no glass screen protector, my co-worker used her phone and set it down on the kitchen counter and it missed, and yup another shattered display and another $200 spent. Now she has a screen protector, I had a spare around since I sold my iphone 6+ for a Galaxy S6 Edge 128GB.

Thanks for answering guys !
I took a microfiber and cleaned the screen .... it's already a little bit scratched : OMG
I'll buy a protector screen tomorrow
The GG4 is definitely built for damages not really for scratches ...... :crying:
I have to have a screen protector on even if it's this ****ty translucent orange peel that they call Skinomi until a true tempered glass comes out. If I even notice a tiny scratch I'll looking at it constantly

Maybe, maybe not ..........
My S$4 was just retired with a well scratched plastic protector. It was plastic and scratched easily. Now with it removed I have a nice new looking phone that isn't being used (after taking the protector off). I suppose if I sell it used that will be worth something. My point is that if you use plastic, you will be replacing the protector once or twice a year or living with a badly scratched protector because they scratch easily. A glass protector will last longer, but likely isn't as scratch proof as the Gorilla glass so it too may need to be replaced once or twice before you retire or sell the phone. I don't drop my phone often so haven't gone to that expense ... a rubber or silicone case around the phone protects the screen from breakage because the phone most likely will land on an edge and that breaks the screen rather than a hit to the screen itself. That protection is more valuable than a screen protector from a breakage standpoint when it comes to dropping. Even a screen protector won't help if you sit on your phone. I don't plan on a screen protector for my S6. I'm going to enjoy having a clear screen and take care of it. I did well with the S4 and will do even better with the S6.
cannot find anything anywhere, womeone here maybe has a source which type of (tempered??) glass huawei uses for their lite devices?

Most likely isn't tempered at all.

The only thing you could do is, perhaps, use a knife to try and scratch part of the back of the phone. If it scratches, it's not tempered glass. If it doesn't scratch, it is (technically). Remember that Gorilla Glass is just a brand - there are plenty of good Chinese tempered glass companies.
Huawei uses tempered glass in all they devices, but not Gorilla Glass. It's just a proprietary screen glass - that doesn't mean that Mate 20 Lite screen glass is better or worst that Gorilla Glass.
Neverless, use a screen protector to be safe, as not even the most recent versions or Gorilla glass are indestructible.

People still believe screen "protector" have any use! Use a (smart) cover/case instead.
I use the phone without any cover anywhere and it has one or two hard to see in the screen, also a few hits in the corner but well
