No, i dont think so.
It is ok without gorilla glass as long as it is PLS display or at least IPS.
We cant have Amoled still.
Dream screen would be Hyper Amoled Plus with King Kong glass

This video of the 10.1v appears to be scratch resistant

So does the Galaxy Tab 10.1 (not 10.1v) use Gorilla glass?
Are screen protectors necessary for it? I spotted a Zagg screen protector for the Tab 10.1 at Best Buy but found it overpriced at around $30.

I bought the zagg yesterday and I ripped it off last night. It really seemed to kill screen sensitivity.
When u apply those kind of skins, u gotta give it a few days to dry and stretch out. Until then its wavy and lessens the screen sensitivity a bit

Yes, it' s gorilla glasss. A few reviews mentioned it and how the screen was fine even after carrying it around it in a bag naked with keys. Just oogle and you ll find out.

Thats the point, I found overnight is good enough for zagg screen.
Yea after a full day it is much better bu it still takes a few for them to really tighten up fully

At least this review says the new GT 10.1 is "still Gorilla glass" despite it's thin form factor.

I am not sure if it uses Gorilla Glass or not, but I asked the same question on the samsung site and this is what Samsung10 answered:

I don't know if Samsung10 is the official account for Samsung but I don't think anyone else can answer questions on that site. You can see Galaxy Tab is listed but they don't specifically say the 10.1 version. So, it could mean the 10.1 does use Gorilla glass, but could also mean only the 7" version does.
My guess is that it does not because if it did for sure they probably would have advertised it and the answerer on the Samsung site would have said "Yes" instead of giving the roundabout answer they did.
That list is on Corning's site: http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/#products-with-gorilla
Although it doesn't mention which specific tab; from this clip i'd guess it's not though...

I have one of the tablets from Google I/O and unless they changed the screen, I already have a small scratch on my screen . Be careful, because I don't even think I was rough with mine.
Zagg
I wasn't sure whether it had gorilla glass so i bought the screen protector by zagg just to be safe, but it also gives the added bonus of reducing finger smudges. It was trickier than most zagg covers i have used in the past to get on. I was concerned i screwed it up with lots of air bubbles but now after sitting over night it is nearly flawless. Touch sensitivity was a little iffy last night after i applied it but seems to be fine this morning.
I haven't seen concrete evidence in regards to the Tab 10.1 having Gorilla Glass.
I contacted Samsung and they assured me that it does.
If that's the case, I'm wondering if I still need a screen protector.

If you aren't careful with devices, you might as well. You can still scratch and crack gorilla glass...it's not indestructible.
Hi guys,
I had dropped my beauty before but this time it was lethal; the screen has been cracked and I had to change it out of guarantee. What surprised me was, they have almost changed the whole device to be able to change the screen only. The repair guy told me that the front part - glass - lcd etc. comes as a integrated package with the bezel frame and home button etc. What remained was only the main board.
So I have taken a HDR picture of the changed part which now lays in my electronic parts cabinet. It may give you some idea of the inside part of a Galaxy S 2.
Regards.
Rats! I smashed my S2's screen in Korea and the service center refused to fix it because it was the international model
At least now you have spare usb port board that many of us had to change due to moisture/condensation damage
You also have spare capacitive and hard button as well as front camera.
And a spare headphone jack/speaker/vibrator module, which I recently just replaced on mine
It's quite amazing how little there is inside.
When I bought my new SGS2 a guy in work allowed me to test how strong the glass was on one he had replaced like yours above.
After some hefty jabs and stabs with a screwdriver I didn't see much need to rush and buy a case to put it in!

How much did it cost u?
It cost me 400.-Tl which is roughly one fourth of a new device. 400.-Tl equals to 220.-USD and 166.-Euros over today's currency rates.
As a result, do not trust the gorilla that much

Obvious, I know...
But this it the result of missing my jacket pocket and hitting the pavement. So sad - it was only one week old. Will be shipping to Samsung for repairs shortly. Everything works completely fine, it is just the glass that is shattered. Ho hum!

If that is the result of missing your pocket and hitting the pavement, then I can surely say, go to hell Samsung.
Anyway, I feel sad for you.
Unlucky i guess
My 1.5 Year Old son has thrown my Galaxy s 2 and Note 2 on Marble floor like so many times and nothing....everything perfect.....just today he threw my Note 2 few hours back and not even a scratch....so sometimes you are just unlucky....
I am happy with build quality of samsung it might be plastic but it does not break easily..

My sympathies mate. I did the same with mine. Ten days. You may want to talk to Samsung Services. I got my glass replaced for just over $100 (US), including shipping. It would normally have cost more than $300. They had an offer on the SIII, SIII and the old note. Somehow i managed to convince them.
Good luck

sorry. a beautiful jewel like this... reveals how drop test on youtube are even more irrelevant. its a matter of luckiness to me. mine fell from 73cm of the floor and nothing. had a silicon case when it fell it was like bouncing because I think it hit the floor vertically first.
next time get a flipcover i dont know if it protects screen when dropping or some kind of front protection. thats what i'd do.
I feel for you mate. Really do. Same happened with my galaxy s3, that made me move to the note 2.
I found a guy, who repaired the broken glass (i bought a new front glass, he peeled off the old broken one and replaced it with the new) and the phone looked OK, and worked fine, but it had touchscreen issues, missed inputs and it never was the same again. I put up with it for 2 months but I eventually had to change.
I hope you will have luck with samsung. They will make a full repair hopefully...

thank god m unmarried...mate i droped my s2 too several times n i got not even a single scratch on it....i think coz of the light weight samsung phones get less impact on the ground...
Gorilla Glass had some explaining to do.
That's pathetic. Make the screens out of plastic if that's the result of using glass.
I can't tell you how many iPhone's I've seen with smashed screens from a single drop. But at least Apple replaces their devices...

My condolences. I've been very vocal before about the SGS3's glass. but my drop on Friday ended up looking like yours. In fact, I'm getting very mild but not unpleasant electrical shocks as I write this...
Note II tomorrow. In spite of almost acromegalic hands, I just might buy a case. Will definitely be buying insurance.
We live and learn. Sometimes.....

Apple only replace for no cost if it's a manufacturing fault not an accident.
If it's an accident then yes they do replace but is with a refurbished phone.
Or if you pay a fee they replace but again with a refurbished one

This would happen with any phone. You dropped it on the corner and thats the weakest point due to it being the smallest are to spread the impact. Gorilla glass is scratch proof, not .... well ... this proof. Anyway try ringing Samsung and ask if there are any repair centres in your area. They can normally do it with-in a few days ( my Galaxy Nexus was done over night) just depends how fast they can get a screen.
I do feel for you :/

FYI. I got an ipad 2 replaced because of a dent which affected the volume button. I dropped it. The ipad 2 was free and I didn't have a receipt because of that. A Day or two after visiting the Apple store, I received a new one.
My brother also had his smashed iPhone replaced at no charge.
Now, depending on who you get at the genius bar, they may talk you into getting the Apple care plan before replacing your device. Sometimes they don't.
Apple covers accidental damage (twice) with their plus plan, which is$100, and it looks like now they charge $50 service fee. Well worth it for 2 years of assurance.

People don't seem to realize that this is a $700 piece of equipment, I always take care of my laptop, camera, etc., you can't go dropping electronics and be surprised if they break.
So I cracked my screen juggling to many things in my hands(phone energy drink, keys, ecig etc) tablet slipped right out of my hand. Funny thing is I am not even upset. I am usually OCD about cracks, I have $500 balance on this via T-Mobile EIP, got rid of jump so I am essentially screwed. Touch screen is fully working so it's still usable. I wonder how much Samsung will charge me to send it in for repair. May just sell it and make put it towards EIP plus make big payments. Idk. It really sucks but what can you do. Glass breaks, Samsung build quality sucks and so much more important things in life to worry about. Maybe this is a sign I should get the nexus 9. After all HTC is known for build quality and even though it's not likely going to be aluminum due to Nexus wireless charging I have a sneaking suspicion it will be miles ahead of anything Samsung produce anytime soon.
Anyone else rocking a cracked screen or repaired it either yourself or by Samsung/3rd party repair shop?
@md1008 feel for you mate and everyone else that this happens too.
There is a dissasembly thread few pages down in the "Help and Troubleshooting section".
From what I have gathered is that it will cost about $200 for Samsung to fix but its impossible to do yourself....here is a comment from shart from that exact thread kinda explains it well tbh....

So I have a p600 (Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Ed) and I dropped it on the corner. shattered the digitizer. I bought a new Digitizer and in the process of repairing it learned the hard way that it is next to impossible to separate the Digitizer from the LCD. Bottom line is that I now need a replacement LCD for my tablet now also. FYI, there is a Gummy adhesive, much like industrial rubber glue between the digitizer and the LCD and the surface adhesion is too great to separate the two without damaging the LCD, try as you might it's next to impossible.
For the Sake of science I have just busted my tablet. I blame nobody but myself in this mess, but let it be a lesson learned for everyone else after me.

Yeah I am too clumsy for self repair. Samsung quoted me 260 I believe. Really think I will wait to see what Nexus 9 brings to the table and price range. I wish Samsung would release a successor to the note 8.0 so far I have not read anything. Seems Samsung is mostly focused on their "tab" series

Yep, the screen is the most expensive in tablet or cell phone. Currently Ebay is selling $200 for the screen assembly, $140 for Hong Kong made and you have to do it yourself. The price for the note 10.1 2014 is dropping fast so it's not worth to repair. Save your money for the Nexus 9 would be the right choice....

Not worth paying 260 ... thats crazy. I'd jist keep using it as its only on the corner and see what your options are with the newer tablets and then either try give it a go yasel or just sell it on ebay or do what my brother did with his cracked Blackberry Tablet ... he put on a screen protector on (mind you there was no glass or sharp bits anyway) and gave it to his 3 year old kid to play games with haha.
I will probably put a screen protector the cracks spread through the whole screen. The thing that sucks is that it's the spen why I bought this bloody screen and using spen on cracked screen is not ideal. Otherwise I would never buy Samsung. I hate touchwiz(unless on note) and I hate even more how cheap Samsung products feel(they got better and the note 4 did have some praise in early review)
Personally I think on the original note they gave it a more premium build with crappy specs where as on this bad boy they cut cost and gave it the best specs(at that time) the og Note 10.1 I feel had an all round better build to it
http://m.yelp.com/biz/lord-of-the-phones-san-diego-9
These guys quoted me at $190 and have excellent yelp reviews. I think I may go with it.
Try putting a glass screen protector on it.

Well if you tried a DIY job then I think if you buy a digitizer it will cost you about $50 and then probs $30 for delivery. So about $100 for labour isnt bad considering its a bigger job than I initally thought tbh.
Reading more and more it does seem like Samsung have made it impossible for an average joe to fix. And then atleast you have a tablet back.
I guess only you really know if its worth the cost for you or not. If I were you I'd wait and see what stuff is coming up and then put the $190 towards a newer tablet.
Anyhoo hope it works out whatever you do mate.
Yeah kinda what I am thinking, what sucks is I have a $500 left on this. I think I may go with it. I don't care about tablet specs as much as phones. I would have kept the original note 10.1 if it the software didn't such so bad. I figure if something did come around that is better I would get more money back if the screen is not cracked. Making the $200 lost almost a wash. I know no matter what I am getting an Otterbox. I know you drop tablets they break but I believe if was more durable the damage would be far less
Yeah cases do provide some protection for falls not sure how much protection my Official BookCover provides. What case did you have on it ... Can't tell what type of case it is from the picture you uploaded.
Its a generic case from eBay. I actually hated it, somehow when it was in the case I often couldn't use external buttons like power, home, or the menu/back. Pie solved the problem.
Looked on eBay and it doesn't look like a cracked note would get me much money so repair it is!
Put a screen protector on and although it's more usable smooth glass surface it actually looks worst. The glass shards and uneveness causes bubbles worst is that I had to keep reapplying the screen protector because of stupid glass shards causing dust and dirt make it's way inside
Oooooh I didnt realise that the cracks went along the entire screen, having the screen protector on really showed the extent of the damage blimey its bad. Yeah thats in no usable condition tbh I genuinly thought it was just the top right hand side that was damaged, aye a guess $190 to have your tablet back isnt too bad.

Well today I bought an otterbox until I can afford $ to get it repaired. Comes with a screen protector which illuminates air bubbles plus I feel like if it drops it won't crack even more or at least will crack less. When the screen is lit up either with color or black its not noticeable, but when the screen is white it's an absolute eye sore. Does add significant weight. Add bulk but nothing unreasonable.
Here is white background, even worst browsing internet
As you see with dark colors the cracks blend right in
Also Walmart online(and only online they won't match prices) has this on sale for less than $45 with tax.

It's not an impossible or an expensive repair, really. Just takes a bit of patience to get it apart and back together, so as not to cause more damage than ya started with!

my 2 cents
Was just about to post this. Thanks!
The battery seems cumbersome to replace. I hate heating things up and removing the glass in fear of cracking it. However, once past that, it looks pretty standard. I'm glad there's no more glue underneath that all.
Being careful, it can be "easy" to change the battery

I wish it was a little easier to repair, ala the Nexus 4, which was rather simple to take apart. But really, anyone who has taken apart phones before shouldn't find it too difficult to repair this device. But it looks like most everything is soldered to the motherboard. What will happen if the usb port breaks?
Hi. I just broke my S6 display, just the protection glass ,the touch is working flawlessly even where the display is cracked. I was wondering what do you suggest, to change only the glass (Oca glue /gel ?) or to replace the whole display meaning glass and touch? Please help guys. Later today I will post a picture with the display. Thank you.

I only had mine for 5 days, dropped it, and cracked the glass.... a week later, dropped it again, and cracked it even more! I can't believe how slippery the G6 is. Anyhow, I ordered a good case the same day I got the phone, but it's stuck at friggen customs for over a month now... Soon as I get it, going to get er fixed. It's $210 locally rite now to get the glass replaced, or $150 for an insurance replacement. Regardless, going to stick with the messed up screen til I get the case, still works great.
Hi. I found to replace the glass and touch together with 150 . Replacing just the screen I think it's cheaper but I didn't hear good things about this procedure (high possibility to crack the touch or the gluing of the touch and glass it's very hard to get like new). Where are you from? http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00...y+s6+parts&dpPl=1&dpID=51nFR7qIK9L&ref=plSrch
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S6. The other day, I happened to break the front glass. The LCD is still fine and the phone works, but the glass is all cracked and a little sharp. So I got a Samsung Galaxy S6 replacement and then followed the video guide to fix it. Now the phone just like a brand new phone.
