nexus 4 back cover plastic or glass - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i've read all over that the back of the nexus 4 is made from glass but it looks and feel plastic. if u tap it it even sounds plastic.
is it real glass like on iphone or its some kind of plastic?

It is real glass . even if u tap on front of the device. It sounds the same. The glass is very finely stuck to the frame of the device. Which is plastic. So u are hearing that. And there are doubt's of back part being not gorilla glass. That's it

It's glass and it will break, get a case for it or at least a skin.

Screen Scratch Test

Hi guys!
For this test I used a set of keys and a cutter.

I hope you will like it
Cool. Was this a test device or your own?

Awesome, thanks so much!
I posted one a bit ago but that was with some knives....the box cutter is impressive.
I am more worried about the small pieces of sand, I think that is what scratches the glass more......But, this video has me almost convinced that I do not need a screen protector.
a test device
"Cool. Was this a test device or your own?"
Wow, this just proves that all the other people complaining about scratches just don't take care of their phones.
Super high, unrealistic drop test now? ;D

The screens smash pretty easily I think.....
I saw a video posted a week ago or so and waist high on the sidewalk smashed the screen.....
Confirmed my feelings about the screen. When i got the phone it just felt like it could withsand some abuse. Wouldnt go so far to try this myself.

Yes, the screen is more sensitive to strong falls than to scratches but as you can see it resisted the sharp cutter
It's advertised as scratch proof, not as shatter proof. Keep that in mind

It's not advertised as either. It's scratch resistant.

It certainly is scratch proof but as my device shows that actually the glass is very brittle! My screen cracked in my pocket! without me doing anything!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
well a material can only be exceptionally flexible(ductile) or hard(strong), but never both. if you want a material to be more shatter resistant(ductile), then it'll be softer and less scratch resistant. Conversely a harder material will be more scratch resistant but more brittle and prone to shatter. its always a tradeoff between these two physical qualities.

Your problem occurred from a defect in the glass manufacturing process. I don't think that is a standard.

Although this is true in some cases it is not in all. Thanks to chemist and material scientist, treating or chemically finishing materials could give the best of both worlds. Go watch the gorilla glass test on YouTube, it is more scratch resistant than its competitors and almost twice as flexible.
Gorilla Glass has a lot to do with its surface finish as well as the glass itself.

Gorrilla or not, Its still glass!!!
Bottom line is anything harder than Gorilla glass which has a hardness between 8+9 will scratch the surface.
Iron, steel, nickel, lead, gold, silver or any medal are softer than gorilla glass, so they should not scratch the glass.
On the other hand, sand contains quartz and it could scratch gorilla glass, for example when sand is in your pockets (after a walk on the beach).
One more thing:
a common misconception is: 'make something sharp and it will scratch'. it's wrong. you can make your fingernail or your key as sharp as possible, it is still softer than the glass and it will not scratch.
So, no, keys wont scratch it (steel), but anything harder than 8 on the scale will with no problem. So anybody that has no scratches obviously hasnt made contact to the screen with anything harder than a 8 on this scale.

Not very relevant at all. ALthough what you say is true, it is not the hardness of Gorilla Glass that lets it perform the way it does, it's the way it is chemically treated that allows it to resist scratches.
You are just talking about a mechanical property but not taking in mind the material process. Yes those materials will eventually scratch the glass (common sense), but whatever the coating on the glass is has to wear off first.
Chemical treatments. There's definitely a lot more to it, I would have to read more extensive datasheets, but here are some.
http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/sites/all/files/GG2%20PI%20Sheet%20Rev%20b_050912.pdf
Corning® Gorilla® Glass 2 is an environmentally friendly alkalialuminosilicate thin sheet glass that is better able to survive the real world events that most commonly cause glass failure. Its superior
composition allows a deeper layer of chemical strengthening than is
possible with most other chemically strengthened glasses — making it
both durable and damage resistant.

Get rid of your screen protector, now !

So, I have been using a screen protector since I bought my S2 for a few days. Yesterday when I was drunk, I realized there are some scratches on it, so I decided to peel if off, thinking having another protector later. And to my surprise, my screen became freaking shiny and colorful and beautiful like a stone turning into a diamond. Now Im feeling like a retard, because that lame protector (in fact it's an expensive one), I suffered from an ugly change of screen color of my S2. I am sure I will never get another screen protector, this screen is too beautiful and it deserves to be seen.

Screen protector is a stupid idea anyway. Anything that can scratch a gorilla glass will easily go through a flimsy screen "protector" and scratch the glass anyway.
Im using a Zagg Invisible shield, purely through habit as I've had one on all my phones and comparing it to my GFs S2 (with no screen protector at all) there is absolutely no difference, but to each his own

That depends what screen protector you're using. The matte and the cheap screen protectors are not shiny and look dull, but if you get a good quality screen protector, you won't even notice the difference. Everyone SHOULD have a good quality screen protector because it protects the phone from scratches.

This kinda right.
I used a costly PS and still notice a little difference in the vividness of color and obviously the touch response is much more different, i mean more prominent. Using it without a PS for a month now and no, I am not applying a PS again.
My scr protector was an expensive one, it doesnt change the touch sensitivity but for God's sake the color is aweful...

Nope, it's pure logic. You can't scratch gorilla glass. You can only scratch the oleophobic cover on top. If your phones comes across something so strong that even gorilla glass will be scratched, a flimsy screen protector won't be any help.
Ive had a screen protector and all the phones ive owned, and yes you see a difference in the display but i can live with that! and what plank said if you scratch a screen protector it'll go through lol if thats the case then i wouldnt use a screen protector in the 1st place my phone is always in and out of my pocket and most the times its my keys or coins that scratch but underneath my protector the screen has NOTa single mark/scratch and ive gone through loads of protectors since i had my GS2..
Conclusion: i would highly recommend a screen protector ! ChEAp and keeps the gorilla glass free of any scratches!
The end!
Bye
I don't use a screen protector, but can see 2 scenarios where my screen can be scratched.
1. The beach with sand... Solution is to get a waterproof case/bag and have some fun too
2. letting my gf or any woman with diamond earrings to talk on the phone... Solution don't let then use my phone!!
Other than that, I even demoed to my friends the key scratch test on my screen frequently. Someone asked what would I do if a drop of super glue lands on my phone... My answer... Use a razor edge and scratch it off!

Been using my S2 phone since it came out. No screen protection at all. No scratches of any description apparent. My screen is still 100% perfect.

Flawed logic. Gorilla glass is scratch resistant, not scratch proof. To scratch it, you need to use something harder than the glass. Metal is softer, so your keys are not going to do harm to the glass, it might scratch the coating only. However, sand is just as hard as glass if not harder. That will scratch through the coating and the glass in one go. Unfortunately, sand is everywhere.
If you want the screen to look good then don't use a matte screen :O

Rather have the piece of mind knowing that with a screen protector, even if it doesn't protect it that much.. it still gives some protection. Same goes for cases why have use some cases when "some" add very little protection and mostly for looks.
The fist thing to do when i get a friend's phone in my hands is to peal off the protector and pretend it was by mistake

So,
I must confirmed that Gorilla glass on my Note 2, have scratches.
what is sad here ? I WATCH FOR MY PHONE VERY CAREFULLY.
nOT even once ( or maybe once or twice ) it was in my pocket with other stuffs like coins or keys. ž
I took out my folie, because I've burned it with cigarete, and I did't like it. So my phone was about three, or four weeks without screenprotector.
YET, I found little scratches on it.
CONFUSED .
I watched some movies on you tube, with Note 2, and S3, the guy was simultainesly hit screens of two devices WITH VERY BIG KNIFE.
Non scratches was found.
I cary the phone for three weeks, 2,3 hours per day, in emty pocket and YET GET SCRATCHES !!!
if this is gorilla glass, I'm a monkey
Dirt and sand in your pocket can scratch the glass. The glass is scratch resistant NOT scratch proof. Any glass will scratch under certain situations

hope this helps
Let's see, even if english is not my mother tongue, I know the difference between SCRATCH and HIT.
As they told you, gorilla glass is SCRATCH resistant, so if it falls it has nothing to do, the difference is that is harder (not impossible) to get scratches with the normal use than other screens without it, and I can ASSURE you that it does its work.
I have some thin scratches at my screen after using the phone carefully for two months. Very disappointed.

Personally I think this Gorilla glass ( on this phone I can judge only ) have weeker products and better products on Note 2.
Someone have hardener, and someone softener glass on his phone. I think this various from phone unit to phone unit.
When I saw this video

Do I have Gorilla Glass 2 on the front?

I have bought phone 3 months ago. IT felt on the street once - like a meter high from my hand. I got a break glass on the front in the corner. Everyhting is working - just a small crack. But the back is in one piece. That's is why I want to ask you - Nexus 4 owners - how to check if my phone have the Gorilla Glass 2 on the front?
I have checked the box, and quick start guide - no information about it. Also warranty does not have that information ?
Gorilla Street 3 breaks Gorilla Glass 2
Gorilla glass doesn't advertise shatter proof. Neither does gorilla glass 3 and 4 probably won't either. They advertise SCRATCH RESISTANCE. So if you drop your phone thinking it won't break because of gorilla glass, think again.
