Thanks nice info from GSM Arena
Controversial as to whether the Note has Gorilla Glass, but I found this:

Also Samsung's version is not directly from Corning but the 50% shared subsidiary Samsung-Corning Precision Glass in Korea.

The answer is *NO*.
http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/full-products-list
Galaxy Note and Galaxy Nexus does not have Gorilla Glass. Full list above.
DISCLAIMER: Next statement is not my own research, just copied from another post.
Gorilla Glass was trademarked in 2008 for Corning's alkali aluminosilicate glass, their patent for such glass ran out some 20 years ago, anyone can make as much alkali aluminosilicate glass as they want without having to pay Corning for a name, Apple uses alkali aluminosilicate glass in the iPhone not Gorilla Glass. Using a non-name version isn't what makes them fail drop tests, since alkali aluminosilicate glass isn't shatterproof by whatever you call it but due to the design of the phone itself, alkali aluminosilicate glass is just more scratch resistant and a bit more bendable.
Also note that Corning has collaboration with Samsung for manufacturing of glass:

"Your favorite device may include Gorilla Glass, even if you don’t see it listed. Ask your manufacturer or retailer to learn more."

Right. But question remains why would Samsung not mention it if it's there? Samsung mentioned previously when they used Gorilla glass in their devices.
I'm really curious if the GNote has Gorilla Glass, I wanted it to be my first device that I didn't have to apply a screen protector to! Strange how there's no official word from Samsung to confirm whether GGlass is included or not.
So, regardless of gorilla glass, is anyone using a screen protector?
this one on amazon is the only one as of yet that intrigues me: http://www.amazon.com/atFoliX-FX-Cl...=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B005TAZ7QI

Good advice I'll probably invest in a screen protector anyway then. However I for one would have been satisfied if samsung officially confirmed it's gorilla glass instead of third party sources. Right now I still don't know who to believe.

I ve just mailed corning asking the same question. Will update once I get a reply !
When the note was first announced on sep 1st, the official samsung page listed it as having gorilla glass. I see now that it has gone from their page.
Quite dissapointed, I did buy it believing that it had it, seeing as I was all over this thing from the moment it was announced. Gorilla glass was one of the first specs I sought to confirm

Personally I dislike screen protectors. One thing that's really good about the Note screen is how it just does not pick up finger marks. It's amazingly resistant to prints. Better than any device I've used in the past. Maybe if you text after munching through a KFC family bucket it might show something... I doubt if a screen protector would have as a good a resistance. My preference is to just use the official flip cover.

Eagerly awaiting for an official statement or reply to you, stating whether that the Note does indeed haven't got a Gorilla or equivalently strong enough front glass.
NO
I have the streak (for sale) and the S.G.Note,
only the streak has the real Corning gorilla glass, the difference is evident:
you can knock your fingernail against the glass: TOC TOC vs TAC TAC (no tic-tic but neither toc-toc as real and powerfull gorilla glass )
OK, so this settles the question of Gorilla Glass on the Note.

I'll leave the screen protector for now. It's hard, shiny plastic that looks almost like glass. But after having an Galaxy S for a year and taking it to the moutains and the beach, and the screen is just perfect, I think the Note will be able to live without a screen protector too.

Yea.
I was not into screen protectors but I got one with my SGP case and it is very good.

So people can decide whether or not to throw their device against a wall or not...
Cause apparently guerilla glass= I can abuse my device to no extent.

Gorilla glass can be easily scratched as any other regular glass, well its the coating thats scratched and not the actual glass. If the phone falls face down on concrete its either gonna shatter or not doesnt matter if its regular glass or gorilla.
So how is it moot, IMHO the moot point is knowing if its gorilla or not since the same care can be given to keep the device as prestine as possible.
Finally this stupid discussion comes to an end.
As if quality devices like this wouldn't be built with scratch resistant glass...
Well... 18 months of abusing my galaxy s without a scratch (case falling apart though!) Scratch on my Note after 1 day of similar pocket use...
I've had it for almost 2 months now with no more scratches but have used the flip case and been really careful.
I might have been unlucky but just being really carefully now.
oh you are correct my friend
Until now I had 4 Smartphones with Gorilla Glass. None of them got scratched although I used no screen protectors. The Note was scratched within 3 days But thats okay. It has a huge screen and I'm using no case or something else...

The facts matter, and the fact is the Note has a high quality scratch resistant screen, obvious from the start.

I couldn't agree more it would obviously come with a resistant glass. Gorilla glass is not scratch proof, it's just the truth, it's made to be shatter resistant and somewhat scratch resistant, in the end it is still glass it will scratch if it comes into contact with a hard substance. If someone expects their screen to be indestructable they're going to be disappointed.
I'm glad this is finally settled
BTW, samsung-corning product line is exactly identical to corning's product line.

Many of us think that Corning Gorilla Glass is just about strength and pressure resistant glass. I was reading this article about Corning Gorilla Glass, which tells that Corning is working on two new coatings for the Gorilla Glass. One is the anti-reflective coating, other one is the anti-microbial coating. You can read there details on the link above. I just want to know what do you guys think? Are any opticians out there with some constructive discussion about these coatings?

The anti-reflective coating will be awesome if it actually works. I think the screens need to be sunlight readable though to have much of a benefit. Otherwise you'd have no reflections but still have a washed out display.
Good for reading in the sun and not worrying about nasty hands when other people borrow your phone! But of course, my gorilla glass got scratched by my keys in my pocket

Apply a hard coded glass screen protector and you're really save. That's the best thing!
It must cover total body as I asked about 2.5d
Give the best suggested tempered glass
