Thanks a lot dude. Ive searched many times but without success! Had heard somebody saying it. Now its confirmed.
But that raises a question,how did a little scratch appear on my willy near the led?
Maybe that part doesnt have a gorilla!

Gorilla glass isn't scratch proof, just scratch RESISTANT, so scratches can still appear.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Basically gorilla glass protects your screen when it is in your pocket along with your keys and other sharp materials. It can only resist light scratches.

Hey everyone. I read a couple forums and saw a few people wanted to know if the phone was scratch resistant. So, I did a test. Enjoy

dude, seriously?????? even the iPhone is scratch proof, most newer high end phones are scratch proof like that.
The doubt starts! haha. My iphone 3gs was just as scratch resisitant...at least the screen was........ the back is another story. In my second vid you can see, no protector on the screen. Hope that clears it up. =)
didnt know that my wifes scratched the hell outta her cliq

I think more phones are going towards the scratch proof screens, the Cliq might have not had it, but I believe the motorola Droid does. I think eventually most devices will have scratch proof screens.

i actually just ordered a full body armor from bestskinsever because i like the feel of it, and in case the phone is dropped. It would still be recommended to get a screen protector/invisible skin in case if it's dropped or anything like that

Absolutely. I had an iPhone 3gs that I sold to get my Nexus One, it had a hairline scratch not from my pockets with keys and change, but from it being dropped one time. =)
man i am impress and gracious you actually made this video thanks
my friend dropped his iphone on concrete and it put a big scratch on the screen. A screen protector helps
So we have Gorilla glass?
Damn keys...left the phone in the same pocket....now i have a huge mark in the middle of the screen.
Any ideas where can I buy a new screen to change it
thx to all
That sucks. I thought the screen was suppose to be scratch proof.
Someone did mention cnn.cn for nexus one parts.
http://cnn.cn/shop/google-nexus-digitizer-p-8252.html
That should be what you're looking for.
Cool...nice to know that it can be replaced. I've got a scratch also...but it's in the black part top left corner...so doesn't interfere.
so i guess that scratchtest vid by the eyelash dude was just BS? i had a feeling it was too good to be true.

As soon as I got my phone I tried scratching it with knives and keys but yeah came out with the same outcome as eyelash man. However a few days ago I noticed a scratch in the lower corner of my screen don't know how I managed to scratch it.. Must have been my wolverine claws

That's just the digitizer or the glass that's exposed. There is no possible way you scratched the physical LCD.

jackie from seinfield?
it's scratch-proof but it doesn't mean it's scratch resistant.
I once scratched a glass phone screen using the slightly exposed chip on a credit card. If it's loose in your pocket with the phone then be careful, as if it doesn't scratch the screen it works like a cheese knife and removes the rubbery coating.
Probably not such an issue for USA users; last time I was over there you didn't have a chip-n-pin system.

HTC One X is GG2 right? Is this true?
whats the point 2 or 3??? you can easily break even gorilla glass...its fragile like every glass...the important is also body and the whole shock resistance and luck ofcourse all my phones with gorilla was fine without any scratches but my fault so be calm its good enought

The main advantage is that they can reduce the thickness of the glass while keeping the strength at least the same. This means screen closer to the surface so you get that "floating image" effect like on the One X and One (and to a slightly lesser extent the Nexus 4)
really doesnt care about it...got SGS3 and was satisfied with it...

Yeah, at the end of the day it will still smash if it hits the ground the wrong way, and sand will still scratch it. That's why I still use cases and screen protectors.
I'm interested to know how much it will cost to replace the screen of the one if it does get smashed, have just recently paid €160 to get my girlfriends SGS3 screen replaced

SGS3 uses GG2. So it's actually related. Anyways, GG3 should be stronger than GG2 while at same thickness but production will come later on the year. It was only announced a couple of days ago.
**New knife+hammer test
Added April 26th:
How come nobody tries these tests with sandpaper?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
we know a screwdriver won't scratch it. I support ^, try sand paper!
I dropped my One one time from about 1 foot above the ground while sleeping. Woke up, looked at the screen and there was tiny scratch on the device. So while a screwdriver might not scratch the device be careful of wood
*sigh*, not this again...
All these materials used in the test, hammers, nails, etc. etc, are softer than sand.
Test it against a single grain of sand, and I'll be surprised if it doesn't scratch.
The only screen that doesn't scratch is my watch, which is made of sapphire crystal. Which is what they're working on at the moment. Can't wait.
Who carry sandpaper with them in their pocket or bag?

Funny how a carpenter could afford to buy an HTC One but not his own toolbox huh?
The common flaw that these videos have is that they fail to show on the camera the micro scratches which show up from using those kind of sharps objects. Try zooming in with the camera and making it reflect at the angle where those kind of scratches can show!

Guys i've read somewhere that the note 4 screen can get easily scratched!
I Dont use screenprotector but i didnt see any scratches on my phone just yet.

I use a tempered glass screen protector, so I couldn't comment on how durable the screen is. I do find that the metal rim could be scratched by a feather though!

It's Gorilla Glass 3.Its going to have the same scratch protection as every other flagship phone around at the moment.
U mean if other device have scratch samsung note 4 will be thesame? That means its prone to scratches? Omg!

I'm saying it uses the industry standard toughened glass that all other flagship phones use at the moment.The screen is no more prone to scratching than any other phone.
I know it should theoretically be the same as other similar phones, but I feel that it has scratched easily. Same conditions as previous phones, but in a month I already have more scratches on my screen than I ever did on my Nexus 4 or 5. Grr.
Otterbox defender on mine with screen protector popped out. Been doing that since the iphone 3g
I got some few scratches after 3 weeks of use. (Only visible under strong light and when u really want to see them tho)
