Mod edit - The Note does have Gorilla Glass - but it can still be scratched if you are not careful! I'm leaving this open for scratch discussion
Regardless of where you heard it the G_Note doesn't have Gorilla Glass.
I have a Galaxy Tab 7 (first gen) that does have Gorilla Glass.
I had the Galaxy Tab for a year and used it extensively, literally every single day and got zero scratches on the screen. No seriously... The Galaxy Tab has zero scratches after a year.
I have had the Gnote for roughly 3 weeks and used it in exactly the same was as the tab and it has several scratches on the screen already... :0(
Prospective G Note purchasers - Please remember to factor a screen protector into your considerations when buying the Gnote.. Especially when coming from a device that had a Gorilla glass screen.
I have my Screen protector on order....
what's funny is that my Tab P1000 has several scratches and my Note has none... but i do baby it..
Do you know what material it got the scratches from?
My chat with Samsung Agent :
Pearl: I understand that you want to know if the Samsung Note phone has Gorilla glass or Normal Galss. Am I correct?
Bitter: yes
Pearl: Thank you for the confirmation.
Pearl: Would you mind holding 3 minutes while I gather the required information on your request?
Bitter: Take your time
Pearl: Thank you.
Pearl: Thank you for holding.
Bitter: Welcome back
Pearl: The Samsung Note has the Gorilla Glass.

Anyway, i got a small scratch too :/ Am really taking care of it and its inside a Samsung orginal case aswell .. strange and disappointing.
I know that Gorilla Glass is not a scratch proof, But I did not know that it scratch itself.
What have you done to your screen?
The nexus has the same glass as the note:

I almost feel that screen protector sellers are posting these messages to sell them...
I never use screen protectors, i'm not overly protective of my phone but i never have scratches.. I had a Iphone 2g & 3g, HTC HD2, Galaxy S and SII..

Yeah I think you might be on to something because my gnote screen is absolutely flawless after much relatively careful but not obsessive about it use.
i have had a few phones. the screen definately feels softer, like it would scratch easy. Worries me a bit.
Nope - I haven't used a screen protector on any of my previous devices and have never had a need for one... Till now.
In fact my ridiculously intensely used Motorola Milestone 1 that i've had for coming up to 2 years now only has one scratch. The milestone has several scratches and scuffs on metal body though..
Bottom line is that the Galaxy Note Glass is made of inferior quality to the Motorola Milestone and the Galaxy Tab 7 (First Gen).

Any proof to this claim?
1. Gorilla Glass isn't scratch proof (SGSII has 0 scratches while captivate has a few)
2. Samsung and Corning has a partnership (joint company) and may not be using the gorilla glass name. (http://www.scp.samsung.com/)

no its not updated... where are the new tablets?
gorilla glass is not %100 scratch proof. i have a hd2 which %100 has a gorilla glass one day i put it in my pocket with keys it got scratched. after that i tried to scratch it with keys, very sharp utility knife and screwdriver no success i cant scratch it. alsa got a first gen 7" tab too has no scratched on it even i use it worse then hd2. so i think gorilla glasses has some weakness in some contitions if that happens it scratches easily.

I'm a tradesman who uses a Note as my phone and I have no scratches so far. If someone who is doing manual tasks in tight areas all day with a Note just dropped in their top pocket with no screen protector or case can avoid getting scratches without even trying, I have no idea how everyone else is managing to damage theirs :\
My Desire HD has no scratch either after 2 years of heavy use.
I also have a scratch on my 3 weeks old Galaxy Note screen and I didn't do crazy things with it...
May be a bit sand?)
If I m not mistaken company itself declared that the device will have Gorilla Glass

I am in agreement with you NRG on this. I never use screen protectors as I think they look uglier than a scratched screen does!
As long as my phone is kept in a reasonable case the screen should be protected.

DHD hasn't been out for 2 years and doesn't have gorilla glass...
Yea the rumors say that the Samsung Galaxy S4 will come with a flexible display, but why do we need the flexible display if the battery and motherboard and other components aren't flexible yet? well this is a video from Corning, they uploaded it this morning, they said that the device can't be flexible but they can make curved screens, corning is in the process of making curved glass I guess (?) so I GUESS we can expect a really nice curved display in the Galaxy S4? Anyway here's the video, this isn't in any tech site yet and I don't know if they're gonna put it but here it is

Enjoy ~ and give a thanks if this information helped you in any way <3
This doesn't appear to have anything to do with the GT-I9100.

ohk guys, how many of you really use a screen guard on your note 4? I am planning to use it without any kind of cover or screen guard do you think its a good idea? i really hate a sheet of plastic on this beautiful screen
I had screen guard on my Note 2 and by the 2nd year it started to come off so I just decided to take it off
It went about 8 months and it didn't have any scratches on it

Yes, I do. IMHO you should use it too. It only takes one grain of sand in your pocket to ruin your experience. I really don't mind scuffed back or sides, but screen is the most important element of a smartphone. Your choice ?
S2, S3, S4, Note 3: all used about a year each, not a screenprotector to be seen. Worked out fine. No scratches or anything to ruin the experience. I wont be molesting my Note 4 screen with a protector. If I get a scratch in a screen protector (and they do scratch more easily) then its basically the same as having a scratch on my display. Then I have to switch it every month, for what? So my screen looks great underneath my horrible protector? Meh... Also, I generally have bad experience with touch sensitivity/feel in regards to the SPen when combined with screen protectors.
Full glass protectors may be a lot better, but again: scratch it and youre walking around with a scratch on your screen wether or not its on the phonescreen or the protective screen over it.
Its like having a SWEET LOOKING toyota, but wrapping it in cardboard to keep it from scratching.
No screen protector nor case. I always had one in my previous notes. Let's see how it fares. But have one in camera lens though.
Note 4
I don't use screen protectors... when I google note 4 2.5 d, mostly I just find threads about screen protectors with this.
I am trying to figure out what exactly is a 2.5 D glass. Is it 2 layers of glass? And does it make the display look better? I am thinking about getting a Note 4 and one of the reviews said this was a plus.
Thanks,

The curves of the Note 4 . The screen protectors with 2.5 D claim to fit the entire screen of our note 4's
Hello lads.
My parents gave an S3 Neo to my brother for Christmas, but 2 weeks ago he broke it's screen, I don't want to replace just the glass, I want to replace the whole part (LCD, Glass & plastic frame), because replacing just the glass is such a pain in the ass.
I was wondering if the screen of a "normal" S3 could fit on this phone, because I can't find on Ebay a S3 Neo screen, only S3 screens.
Here are some pics attached of the broken screen, I can't see any differences with the S3 screens I saw on Internet....
S3 Neo and S3 "normal" have the same screens?
Can you give me a hand please?

No, it will not fit because the frame is different (although the screen is the same). I know that because I have i9300 and i9305 frame and i9300 motherboard doesn't fit in the the i9305 frame . If you are gonna buy replacement, it must be for i9301i!
