It has gorilla glass, but I don't know It's 1 or 2!? No info about that.

HTS writes that HTC One V has not Gorilla Glass.

Even my HTC Hero has a gorilla glass. SO yeah, One V has a "CORNING GORILLA GLASS" . and it will not break at falling. even if it falls on concrete!

Idk as well. but I dropped my phone from 1 meter of height yesterday. its just works fine...

yikes, glad it's still working.

I think HTC One V has Gorilla display 1 not 2.

My phone fell from the table yesterday face down and the top glass covering instantly cracked. I doubt if One V even has gorilla glass. Before it cracked, it had taken many small scratches too, even though i kept it inside a cover always.

my phone didn't fell face down. maybe that's why it does't have crack. maybe you should try to return to your seller. If you lucky, they can give you a brand new phone or refund.

I called up HTC customer care, they told it won't be covered under warranty. I need to pay for the whole Super LCD 2 unit. Even though just the top glass is cracked.

fell on what? a warhammer? please...

No dude fell on the ****ing floor
So i would say it doesn't have a gorilla glass. Specs on the box and its site doesn't state a gorilla glass either. The glass layer is something which makes viewing angles better as far as i know, not a gorilla indeed. I was shocked to see scratches even when i kept it in a cloth cover all the time. And now a fall from 2 feet face down cracked it completely.

Gorilla glass is not that strong. I'm not surprised it cracked when falling face down.
My friend has a Motorola Defy like me (you know, that "lifeproof" phone with gorilla glass), and she dropped it about a metre onto concrete, at a 45 degree angle. Whole glass panel was completely shattered.
On the flip side, I have dropped my Defy a bunch of times (including a few times where I have accidentally launched it forward a few metres) and it has been fine, but the initial impact has always been on the back. I think all phones will shatter when they hit the ground screen first.
Gorilla glass prevents abrasion and scratches from keys or coins etc in your pocket, but not falling a metre or two onto concrete or tiles.

[Q] Best case to prevent screen *cracking*?

Are there any cases that can actually prevent the screen from *cracking*? Like maybe a contoured case that stuck out or something. Anyone have any ideas?
None. There are some that offer a little more protection. Otterbox makes a great case. None that will actually prevent the screen from cracking.

that list is wrong...mytouch slide, if you looked at the screen wrong it would crack. had mine shatter like 2wice.
Gorilla Glass or Chuck Norris Glass, nothing truly protects it from shattering. The cases mentioned above are the closet you can get. If its dropped unto something that's smaller than the cases, then obviously it might break. So, as people have said, be careful and buy a case.
Don is right gorilla glass doesn't really help prevent shattering, gorilla glass is just suppose to be more scratch resistant than your average glass.
I think it's just the luck of the fall, i.e. how it lands/hits. I've dropped my phone probably 10 times in the 4 months I've had it, and not a single crack. I don't use a case either, just best skins ever, and I swear I really do think it has helped protect the phone. It's true though, if it falls just the right (or wrong) way, it's gonna break, so who knows.

Rob from Phandroid talked to one of Samsung exceutives during the show in HK and was told it GN has Gorilla Glass.
i also heard that it has gorilla glass....
The Galaxy Nexus doesn't have Gorilla Glass because of the Contour Screen technology... Gorilla Glass could never be used to make it, I guess. Anyway, my friend has a Nexus S, and it uses that same thing, and the screen is great.
The only thing I'm wondering about the GN... isn't the high resolution going to suck all the ****ing battery?
i think that the battery will be the same as a galaxy S II

Poor example, the HD2 does indeed have Gorilla Glass.
The Nexus One, whoever, does not.
The Nexus One does not have Gorilla Glass. It does however have hardened glass, just like Gorilla Glass is. The basic principle is that the internal forces in the glass are stronger than the force applied to it while scratching it. If it gets hit with a sharp object however the glass will shatter because the forces making it strong are no longer "balanced" so it will work against you and shatter the glass, unlike normal glass that would just get a crack.
I think because Gorilla Glass doesn't supply curved glass.
Nexus S doesn't have it and it works just fine.
I like my phone naked. No case, no screen protector and still scratches free after 10months.

It's listed under HTC Dragon, the codename it had before launch. My old Nexus One never got a scratch on the screen, and I sold it in that same condition.
NOTE: My current Sensation has "Gorilla Glass" but is moderately scratched up; especially visible when the screen is off with a hint of glare. Gorilla Glass is not all that it's cracked up to be, it's just harder to CRACK not SCRATCH, hence why the Galaxy SII fared so well against the iPhone4S in the drop test. Gorilla "Glass" is essentially just a hardened plastic. Real glass cannot bend as well as Gorilla "Glass".

I'm not an engineer...

So why doesn't the Galaxy Nexus have Gorilla glass again?

The predominant reasoning for this on the interwebz was because of the 'curve' of the screen. I never did understand if this was the concave curve of the screen from top to bottom or the convex curve of the screen around the edges. (you know...the one that makes dry screen protectors bubble up around the edges if they are not a few mm smaller)
HOWEVER,
This morning, Anandtech released their review of the Nokia Lumia 800. That phone has both macro and micro curves (I've held the N9 with the same glass) and that glass is Corning Gorilla glass!
I understand that Gorilla glass can be scratched with a material hard enough etc.,etc. I just want to point out, it doesn't seem to be a technological limitation that keeps Gorilla Glass from our phones.

And what will you do with the information about why it doesn't have gorilla glass? It doesn't change the fact that it doesn't have it.

I thought the screen was made of a tough glazing by Corning but not Gorilla glass. I treat this almost the same as my Motorola stuff but I did case the back of it because it's like paper. I'm much more worried about the back than the screen.

It's funny cuz you can't scratch any phone screen ever with keys...
I managed to scratch mine within days of getting it. I'm not sure how, but it's rather frustrating. It would be nice if it remained pristine for at least a few weeks...
My GN has a hair line scratch that can be seen at an angle on a black screen. Its a bit annoying since im OCD but compared to my Epic 4G and the abuse that one went through its kinda sad.
Why? Simple. Because they have to kill too many Gorilla's to make the glass.

I did hear that Corning has a new product out called 'Lotus glass'.....but the primary feature of that product (if I remember right) was large scratch resistant touch screen surfaces like TVs etc. I think there may be some physical limitation that keeps gorilla glass from being used on devices much larger than a laptop. Lotus glass was supposed to solve that.
But you're right, I KNOW the rest of the case is going to scuff. With or without a case. Just give it six months. Unless you go the polymer skins route.
Anyways......It isn't about what you're going to do with the information now. It was just interesting that the main reason cited as behind why Gorilla glass (and search ANY forum for the clamor behind the Gnex not having it) does not appear to be true.

I literally LOL'ed!
A few months back I said the hell with screen protectors on my Droid Incredible. I knew I was getting a new phone soon anyway. The incredible has gorilla glass, and it is now covered with a bunch of tiny little scratches. No glass is scratch proof, it's all in how you treat it. If you have a desk job and you are careful with you phone, you probably won't scratch it up too bad. If you work construction, you may still mess it up with an otter box.
If the nexus had gorilla glass there would still be threads about scratches on the screen. We probably went from a 95% chance that you won't scratch your screen to a 91% chance you won't scratch the screen with this new glass. If you don't buy it, look at most phones with gorilla glass that are not handled carefully and you'll see scratches.

Glass is still glass. You can make it slightly stronger, but at the end it's still glass. Treat your large touchscreen phone well and you won't have problems.

Exactly! It all comes down to the user.
You scratched up an Incredible with Gorilla Glass, and I personally have had various phones w/o Gorilla Glass and I never use cases or screen protectors and they were all in mint condition when I passed them onto someone else.
So moral of the story, focus less on what brand the glass is and more on how you protect your phone.
Yup.. When I took care of my Incredible it was always in perfect shape. Then I stopped giving a crap when the Nexus was announced and I knew I was switching. Gorilla glass or not, scratches showed up.

Ive never used a screen protector with my INC2 and tried hard as hell to be very careful with it but some how I got a small scratch in it within 3 weeks. I'm not sure how much less or more the GN screen is but I'm trying to avoid using a screen protector on it all because I love the naked feel.
You know what happened the last time I talked up Gorilla Glass on a Droid RAZR?
The guy I was talking to took the RAZR, banged it as hard as he could on the desk corner, and cracked/powdered the screen. "Not so tough," he said.
Moral of this story is you, the user, can protect your phone far better than any manufacturer.

Everything is about $$.
Nexus has a few extra things that probably push it's cost higher, so they are likely going with an unbranded version, in order to keep the cost down enough.
I'm sure the screen is pretty costly in itself, while the Note is same resolution and tech - it's bigger so probably easier to make.

Thanks for telling me about film protectors, are they better than screen protectors, and if they are, in what way are they better?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Film protectors offer better protection & are less likely to peel off at the corners if caught.
Most film protectors actually take a bit of strength to remove.
They are not a dry application, (which I prefer), meaning a can constantly work st it to get it perfect.
Pushing out the water is a much easier way of removing bubbles than on a dry skin.
Films have self-healing technology whereas 'standard screen protectors' do not, this means if scratched - by tomorrow at the latest, that scratch is gone.
Either way, im waiting for a wet application protector, Skinomi have said they are waiting for the release date (not out in the states yet grrr)
I'll just have to be careful til then I think.
Although gorilla glass 2 should be fine without a screen protector, I'd feel a whole lot better with one!

It'll only take a small drop of water which will spread across the screen when the film is applied. As long as you're careful not to get water leak into the holes, there won't be any damage. Apply the drop of water closer to the bottom just in case, since the speaker grill and camera holes are at the top of the screen.
Usually, though, the protectors will come with a 'installation solution' in a convenient, spray-bottle.

i used the HTC ones and put it on perfect no problem, only reason its a little tricky is that it only has one tab and not one each side :/ but then i got a replacement x and didn't do the second one so well but meh i can get more at a latter date
This is a great screen, even better than my SG2.
I never put one on my SG2 and had no major issues with scratches on the display.
I have used my HTC One X now for almost two weeks now, with no screen protector and there is not a single blemish on my screen.
I won't be putting any screen protector on my device, as they always distract from the full experience of the display, IMO!
You can put one on if you like, but you don't need one on this device.
I picked up a One X yesterday from the T-Mobile store and today noticed it had like two tramline scratches across the screen..you can feel them if you run your fingernail over them....although the phone was of course sold as new, the sim removal tool was detached from the plastic and there was fingermarks on the glass underneath the plastic cover they put on them.
Thankfully T-Mobile are sending a replacement on Tues as it also keeps jamming up...back to using my Sensation XE for a bit. Hopefully as they asking for the entire box back they will be sending out a new phone and not a refurb, if they exist yet.
Only thing I can think is a faulty return handset made it into the new stock by mistake.
Still curious how you could mark the glass in this way though !

Yup, Gorilla Glass is harder to scratch, but by no means impossible, and can possibly still be scratched fairly easily. Coming from another device with GG (and hearing reports on other GG phones that I don't own), there have been plenty of people reporting scratching GG with normal use; while others claim pristine GG even after significant abuse and drops.
To each his own, its a matter of how much you prefer the bareback look and feel, versus having some protection. But to me, a good quality screen protector has very little change in feel, little or no change in the look; and its better to have the protection rather than end up with permanent scratches and regret. Good screen protectors also don't build up fingerprint smudges as easily as bare glass.

I'm using mumbi CrystalClear over here and it does a pretty well job. Though it looks like the protector is too small for the screen, you quickly learn that it has to be this way because the display is curved at the edges.
Love it or not, I guess most display protectors will look like this

No, wet application screen protectors wil cover everything.
It's similar to the Galaxy Nexus with the curved glass, only wet application ones will keep all the edges etc...smooth and perfect.
And yea, to people who think that just because it's gorilla glass it's not going to scratch. A tiny grain of sand is enough to give it an annoying blemish. You don't need a case IMO, but a screen protector is always a must.
They have it available now..

I just ordered mine, best looking screen protectors out there imo..now if I could just get that dreaded sim card issue fixed.
Can you recommend some screen protector without sticky surface? I bought cheap Insmat dry application protector, but it's not a perfect fit. A bit too large so sides won't stick and hard to get bubbles away. I would also like to have more slippy surface..

Glass over camera lens, scratches?

Hi.
Just wanted to see how many of you guys got scratches on the glass over the camera lens.
Mine has a lot of tiny scratches and i've always been very careful with my device. Always put it down on tables and other places with gentle care. At least they could've put gorilla glass instead of the plastic? because of the bad design choice with the camera.

Apart from that only small scratches. But it sure is vulnerable

I've got scratches, but mostly at the lower part of the glass.

You'd think HTC would have forseen this. Wasn't a problem with Sensation. Irreplaceable as well.
In the first week i always laid my phone on top of something as I saw this coming..but yeah..you know how it goes
Some minor scratches now, can't see it on pictures tho.
I have put a piece of finely cut clear tape over it. Cheap fix. No noticeable quality difference in pictures. I so far I have changed the tape once due to few minor scratches.

That's where most of my scratches are to.
