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?
1. Gorilla Glass isn't scratch proof (SGSII has 0 scratches while captivate has a few)
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.

There are users here that have experienced cracked/scratched screens on the 7.7 tab already.
I can't find the posts, but to be honest I haven't really tried that hard.
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4136&idPhone2=3370
Under P1000 you will see:
Protection: Corning Gorilla Glass
But under P6800 there is nothing about Gorilla Glass..?
I know that gsmarena.com not always have all the information on the device, but anyway.. weird.

i'm almost sure the 7.7 features gorilla, simply because the corning site always took it's time to update on new products. and i can't imagine that samsung wont use this feature on it's otherwise VERY sophisticated and well built 7.7...
example:
it took corning MONTHS to state they use gorilla on the galaxy note,
and in the note forums had been quite similar discussions than this one!

pretty sure it's Gorilla glass because someone said he counldn't scartch the screen even with a knife.

Well, Gorilla Glass isn't nuke proof or anything. It's going to break, scratch, and shatter like any other glass. It just has a higher threshold. I think sometimes people think that since their device has Gorilla Glass then they can be a bit more carefree with it, and then are disappointed that *whoops*, smash!

I agree thanks for your replay but ill be happy with the extra protection i am just surprised that samsung did not mention anything about it
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
Heck, with as many separate manufacturing facilities (I think the 7.7 is made in at least two countries) and overlapping product lines as Samsung has, they might not even be sure themselves which device has Gorilla Glass
I think it has gorilla glass, because of it's blueish reflection...
just like on the GSII.
But, hey, maybe I'm crazy

This will be helpful for anybody who wants to repair a scratched screen;

I also think this baby has the CGG protection
I accidentally dropped a padlock on the screen when the tab is lying down on the floor while I was fiddling with my locker padlock
The padlock's corner hits the screen near the earpiece, I'm using a screen guard and the impact bores through it! I immediately checked for damage, thank God theres none!

Did this really need a thread? 3 second search... https://www.google.ch/search?num=50...7.7.0.0.0.1.122.575.6j1.7.0...0.0.j5T6ZF6RAEM
Just saying.
I had my hands full with shopping and a screaming baby a month or two ago. I put the tab down on the boot ledge of my car and once I'd finished putting away the shopping, forgetting where I'd put my tab, I closed the lid. It didn't close but I remembered tab, in a moment of horror, a split second before I gave it a slam.
The glass edge had been popped out a couple of mil and amazingly there was no damage. All was fine after pressing it back in.
I don't know if it was the glass or hard plastic of the anymode cover but regardless, the glass itself must be pretty tough.

gorilla glass confirmed.
hello guys,
i emailed samsung regarding this matter for the sake of relief and i just recieved a reply today confirming that our 7.7 tab has gorilla glass indeed.
here's the email reply
It would be great if samsung could emphasize that the mention is tab7.7 because we all knew that the old tab had gorilla glass.

The email mentioned OLED - the only Galaxy Tab with an OLED screen, at least as far as I know, is our 7.7

Dunno what it is... but it's STRONG
My friend's dog attacked it , dropped it about 1m (3ft) onto concrete glass-down...and there was no damage to the screen or the internals (edges of the side/back plastic had slightly scuffed paint though).
I've dropped it on tile floors from about the same height or higher (I'm 189cm/6'2" and somewhat nearsighted) while standing up... still works.
I've dropped an E-cig (heavy bugger, and made of metal to boot) directly onto the screen, many times... not a scratch.
Whatever glass it is, it's even more durable than Sammy's Galaxy S1 (aka AT&T Samsung Captivate's) screen, which does show a grand total of 1 tiny scratch (only visible on black, several pixels long). Still no scratches despite my clumsy and at-times drunken lifestyle :good:

Hey all.
I see that the Galaxy Note 4 includes 2.5D glass, what is the advantage of this and would this not serve to make the screen look odd? I understand that the Galaxy S5 has one of these screens but i have never seen one.

At the moment i only reckon it juz for looks better, dunno much about other advantage, but the disadvantage is hard to get a proper tempered glass screen protector....
Hello lads.
My parents gave an S3 Neo to my brother for Christmas, but 2 weeks ago he broke it's screen, I don't want to replace just the glass, I want to replace the whole part (LCD, Glass & plastic frame), because replacing just the glass is such a pain in the ass.
I was wondering if the screen of a "normal" S3 could fit on this phone, because I can't find on Ebay a S3 Neo screen, only S3 screens.
Here are some pics attached of the broken screen, I can't see any differences with the S3 screens I saw on Internet....
S3 Neo and S3 "normal" have the same screens?
Can you give me a hand please?

No, it will not fit because the frame is different (although the screen is the same). I know that because I have i9300 and i9305 frame and i9300 motherboard doesn't fit in the the i9305 frame . If you are gonna buy replacement, it must be for i9301i!
