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?

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...
This has been confirmed by dozens of XDA members who have gone above and beyond to confirm that it is indeed Gorilla Glass in the Note.
Ever since the release date, the feud over Gorilla Glass began and it ended a week later. Dozens of members contacted Corning and they said that many devices with gorilla glass are not shown in their list.
®That was for all you going "CORNING SAYZ DA NOTE HAZ NO GORILLA GLAZS"
I have read numerous threads where users have contacted Samsung and have reached the conclusion that it is indeed gorilla glass in our notes. On pretty much all the tech sites, they all list the Note as having Gorilla Glass.
Gorilla glass is Scratch-"resistant" not Scratch "proof" and even if it was Scratch proof, it would not be impervious to everything.
Gorilla Glass isn't magic, it is Glass and like any other Glass, sand can scratch it because Glass is just super heated sand.
Now, to those saying "GORILLA GLAZS IS DESIGNED TO B3 scrATCH PROOF"
Gorilla glass was created in the hopes of reducing shock from falls, to preserve the glass, while also giving adequate scratch resistance.
Hopefully, this will encourage people to spend the $20 on a decent screen protector to protect the $260 screen+ digitizer on their Note.

do you even know what gorilla glass is? even if the glass is made exactly the same way with exactly the same composition as gorilla glass, it's not gorilla glass unless corning says it is! do you have any proof that the galaxy note has gorilla glass? NO! geezz don't waste our time starting a new thread with absolutely no evidence

I own 2 other devices with Corning Gorilla Glass; an Acer W500, my Galaxy S2.
I honestly don't think you know what Gorilla Glass is. Google it.
Use the search bar and find the other threads if you want proof, or contact corning yourself.

It looks like they may be using the lotus glass instead of gorilla glass
http://www.androidauthority.com/corning-unveils-lotus-glass-29195/
Isn't this a good thing since lotus glass has much tighter property and better display features than gorilla?

Right! let me enlighten you a little, gorilla glass was never designed to reduce shock from fall, hence if u drop you phone sideways it will crack
gorilla glass isn't made just from sand like other glass, it has aluminium oxide in it (you know.. the stuff sapphires and rubies are made of)
pfft!
So it's magic?

I know it is not magic when seeing the scratchS on my GNote.
Please stop it with the Gorillas will ya. All this Gorilla talk is making me loopy.
Jesus, therz some stubbornly persistent ppl.
Corning had a patent for making GORILLA GLASS. It doesn't anymore. Once the patent expires, big companies usually start manufacturing their own version of the ex-patented product. it's cheaper and most of the times better, cuz it fits their exact needs. Moreover, sammy and corning play together for quite a while now.
So, NO, the Note doesn't have GORILLA glass but it does have a glass that is the same or better.
chrz and let's hope for no more threads on that sbj. starts to feel like a teen-problem forum here
Maybe the mods can create a new sub-forum dedicated to debating the glass used in the Note. That way we can talk about glass all day long without the clutter of less important topics related to using the phone.

On the Samsung Mobile Singapore facebook page, Samsung confirms that the Note has Gorilla Glass. This is the second time I've seen them say it!

Wow, thanks for that!
Now it's decided.
(Uh, do you think i'm being premature?)
I got proof!
I asked Samsung myself and they replyed with the answere: Yes, the galaxy note do have Corning´s gorilla glas. We´re sorry for not making this clear.
So there you have it!
Damn! I just dropped my Note on the street while walking.
5 foot drop. Scratches on the corners. Part of the plastic rim around one of the edges of the glass jumped away. Glass fortunately still fully intact. No scratches.
Phone operating as before.
Really bummed, but could've been much much worse.

I dropped it on the concrete floor 5 times now, once from a height of 1,5 m - no damage what so ever. Thank-you Samsung for choosing Gorilla Glass.
I dropped mine ~4ft onto concrete when getting out of my truck and it's practically undamaged. The plastic edge around the screen is scuffed on two corners (which I'll buff out at some point) but the screen is spotless, despite having landed face down. I've enjoyed over 2 months now of a slim, sexy, clear, case-free and screen protector-free phone.

After all the stories of scratched screens, I went ahead and got an SGP oleophobic screen protector for mine. While scratch protection may not be completely necessary, I will say that smudges are significantly reduced relative to my Galaxy Tab 10.1 with no SP. I'm actually sold on them after using this one.
Does the n7 have gorrila glass? I know it says that it is made from corning™ scratch resistant glass but is it gorrila glass?

I doubt it. I'm sure they would be advertising it as such if it did.
Its like my T-Mobile Galaxy S3. The International models have Gorilla Glass. Mine has Corning Scratch Resistant Glass.

From all the reviews I've read, yes.
Even Gorilla Glass can scratch so no big deal for me.
Personally i don't care too much because this isn't something that will be going in my pocket or bag, realistically if it's with anything else (like in a bag..) I'm going to be buying a sleeve for it, i don't really feel like a case and my dad has a sleeve for is playbook and it works well for him, so should be good
Is this true?

We have Gorilla Glass 2... but Note II get nothing..
There are reports about Note II getting scratches easily..
Im glad i chose s3.. If that's the case..
Any Opinion guys?
Galaxy s3 also gets easily scratched
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
specs I find say Note II will have GG2 as well.
my S3 does not scratch. and I beat the crap out of it not a single scratch. not even a light scuff. this glass truly amazes me
NOW if you work near "GRIT" such as carpenter or construction or roadworker or builder or mechanic
GRIT will wear ANY glass given enough rubbing. GG is not indestructible. it just "tougher" than usual and nothing can hold up to grit forever nothing.
ie USE a sacrificial screen protector if you tend to expose your phone to grit.

Hello everyone. I recently bought the Tab A 2016 10.1" with S Pen and was wondering if the display had gorilla glass? If so, what version? I can't seem to find this information anywhere online. Thanks
Don't think so.
Corning (the manufacturer of Gorilla Glass) lists all devices with Gorilla Glass on their homepage.
https://www.corning.com/gorillaglass/worldwide/en/full-product-list.html
The Galaxy Tab A is not listed there. Though neither are most other Samsung tablets. Even the high priced ones are missing.
Seems Gorilla Glass is mostly used in phones. Maybe for such big tablet displays Gorilla Glass is too expensive, or doesn't provide the same advantages as for smaller screens? Unlike phones you usually don't carry around tablets in your pockets where they could be scratched by keys. Which I suppose is the most common kind of damage where Gorilla Glass might actually help.
