My screen scratched few days ago. So i send an e-mail to Corning and Samsung. The reply that i got is shocking.... Note 2 doesn't have Gorilla Glass.
The reply that i got from Corning : Good Day!

The reply that i got from Samsung : GT-N7100 model ürünümüzde Corning Gorilla Glass 2 ekran bulunmamaktadır.İlginiz için teşekkür ederiz (GT-N7100 does not have Gorilla Glass 2. Thank you for your interest.)
I'm really shocked right now and don't know what to do. I think i'm going to buy Invisible Shield...
I think they just didn't update the webpage. Every Galaxy phone has..so there are 99% chances that also GN2 to have it
But Samsung Support say it doesn't have GG.

I don't even know who told us that Note 2 has Gorilla Glass ? It is a common sense i think. But unfortunately it's wrong. :crying:
too bad, i know that feel bro
i have a bad experience about scratches on my past device, even if that device has a gorilla glass
so i put screen guard on my note 2 immediately after i buy it, better safe than sorry

FFS, Gorilla Glass is scratch resistant, not scratch proof!
It really is a simple equation - if your screen comes into contact with an object that is harder than the surface of the glass, it will likely end up scratched (depending on the force and the direction it is applied in of course).
Gorilla Glass is not a panacea and should not be treated as such. However, it will protect your screen from scratches far better than it would if not equipped with Gorilla Glass.
Regards,
Dave

If you are obsessive about your screen getting scratched then you should use a film to protect it, the glass on the note 2 looks to be song enough but I'm sure scratches are quite possible.

Guys guys guys.... IT DOESN'T HAVE GORILLA GLASS (Thats what Samsung says) I know Gorilla Glass is scratch resistant not scratch proof. But Note 2 doesn't have it. Do u know why Samsung did somethig like this ?
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA Premium HD app
It does. The person at Samsung who said it didn't probably doesn't even know what gorilla glass is.
It has GG2, GG is more scratch resistant than normal glass of the same thickness but will still sratch - it is not scratch proof.
The fact that you have a scratch does not mean it isn't GG...
Gorilla glass's biggest problem is advertising...everyone thinks it makes the glass invincible for no reason. It's just stronger, and regularly glass is pretty weak, so...nowhere near invincible.
On a sidenote, how are screen protectors faring with S-pen and such? I saw a warning against using them, but will probably want one myself.

Where did Samsung say this? Every review site says it does have Gorilla Glass because those are the specs that Samsung provided to the reviewers.
It's time to put this to rest once and for all.
If you Google "Galaxy Note 2 Gorilla Glass", every site that did early reviews states that the Note 2 has Gorilla Glass. Why? Because those are the specs they got from Samsung, not just made up or speculated out of thin-air.
Secondly, THIS VIDEO that was posted on the previous page proves that the screen has Gorilla Glass. There's no possible way that you'd be able to press that hard on your screen with scissors or keys and have no scratches if Gorilla Glass was not present.
Thirdly, you're scratching a stylus on the screen all day for some people. The Note 2 will most definitely have Gorilla Glass for that reason alone, just like the Note 1 did, and almost every other modern Samsung (and touch-screen) device.
Finally, Wikipedia has a list of all devices that are known to have Gorilla Glass and the Note 2 is listed:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_devices_with_Gorilla_Glass
So, let's stop this madness and disseminating misinformation until it's officially posted on a Samsung webpage that the Note 2 does not have Gorilla Glass. Every indication proves that it does.
mine has Dinosaur Glass
There are other manufactures that make similar glass too. It's not rocket science and the idea has been around and used since the 60's. They are just replacing sodium ions with larger potassium ions, the larger ions put the glass under tension making it harder. Kind of like pretensioned concrete. It will still scratch, sand with a little pressure will scratch it easily.
Every new samsung high end phone have gorilla glass1 or 2. At samsung service works a lot of silly people. One time I asked does s3 has micro sim or normal sim card slot and he said me- normal.....
When i called up to speak to someone at HTC about a few problems with the phone i use the now, i was in contact with 3 HTC employees and not one of them knew anything about the phone HTC sensation i had to get put through to the technical department before i finally spoken to someone that knew about the phone..
The email that you say you got from Samsung was probably written by someone who works for them and has no idea about the Note 2, as everyone has said the phone does come with GG2.
Christ my HTC Sensation and the girlfriend has the HTC One X both have GG and she still managed to put scratches on both phones. as people have said its scratch resistant not proof. My cousin has managed to put loads of scratches on her S3 and that has GG2, so it can be easily done. even thought the GG is supposed to make it harder but as anyone will tell you.... every phone they have had they have always managed to put scratches on the screen in some way.
I have one more question... Is it possible to scratch the screen while cleaning with cleaning cloth ? (The same cloth that we use to clean glasses)

If there is a bit of grit between the cloth and screen then yes its possible, some forms of grit can be so small that you may not be able to see it on the cloth or screen but yes its possible
I bought a galaxy s advance 8 months ago and it says it has a gorrila glass screen, but i swear it scratches more easily than my old Galaxy s,
i just wondered what people thought of the screen on the nexus 4?
cheers
jon
The original Galaxy S also features gorilla glas.
As far as I know gorilla glas 2 is just i thinner version of gorilla glas so it's going to be just as hard/easy to scratch as the screen on the Galaxy S.
I think the S2 uses Gorilla Glass 1 and I've not had any scratches on that over the past year. I'm guessing if this is the next version it should be stronger and more scratch resistant.

Nope. Same resistance, just in a thinner form. Which makes your phone thinner, lighter and the screen brighter and more responsive to touch.
I just bought a replacement glass cover screen for my Galaxy Nexus and i know it doesn't have Gorilla Glass so that doesn't matter much but what about Nexus 4? Are those thirdparty made have Gorilla Glass? Anyway where's the best place to buy replacement parts for the Nexus 4?
Thanks!
I was delighted to read through the spec of this phone until I noticed it had Gorilla Glass 3? I've had a terrible time with my Nexus 5X which also has Gorilla Glass 3 and was hoping Nokia would at least have gone to v. 4 or 5.....anyone else worried about this?
I have someone willing to sell me a Note 10 Plus (512 GB Model) for $600. It has one annoying little scratch that you can catch your fingernail in on the screen. I'm curious if there is a liquid-apply screen protector or a filler out there one of you all has used that can take care of the problem.
Thanks in advance!
I have the exact same question
Throw a whitestone dome glass or similiar SP on it. That'll "bandaid" it enough whereas it'll appear nothing's there.

Agree with this....probably the cheapest solution available....from what i understand the liquid adhesive should fill the scratch and make it less visible.
Did you happen to check if perhaps the seller still had the stock screen protector still installed? I had a nasty scratch on mine..finally removed it and the glass beneath was pristine.

Any good screen protector will hide moderate scratches.

Consider replacing to glass in the long haul when doing the battery.
The plastic screen protector IQ Sheild is a wet apply, works well and may help conceal it nicely.
It's inexpensive and relatively easy to install.
I had a dog awful horrible experience with the Whitestone glass of Doom. They sent the wrong everything and didn't even say sorry. Took forever to refund.
Offshore shipped trashware... NO.
I was impressed in a most unpleasant way.
