Never used a scratch proof. Gorilla glass is the shizzz. Can't wait for gorilla glass 2.

Gorilla glass is a strong glass, but NOT a scratch proof glass. Every glass can't be scratched by metals (except cutters with a lot of pressure).. But minerals scratch glass and gorilla is not an exception. So.. Buy a glass protector.. Good glass protector and case. :)

I got my brando protector today. It's great, really invisible and look scratch resistant as announced.
it's washable, and the best is the instruction at the end! Lol

I use a matte screen protector not for protecting my screen, but for my fingers to easily glide on it especially when playing games. I hate it when I get tensed and my fingers starts to get greasy and sweaty.

    Durable, yes, scratch proof, no. Even people that are gentle get scratches once in a while. If one grain of sand gets in your pocket with the phone you could end up with scratches. Do yourself a favor and get a good quality protector that you will never notice once its on. I use Steinheil protectors.

    You've got that completely backwards!

    Sand/grit etc. is harder than the screen, that's why it can scratch it. Metal (keys etc) is softer (softer than non-Gorilla Glass even) so doesn't do anything. Makes for good YouTube videos though.

    Last time I listen to you guys.. few days without and I got a nice scratch.

    Always use a protector and most importantly ignore the heros who talk up gorilla glass

    Gorilla works fine against metal, but sand scratches it easily. That's why I use screen protector.

    Gorilla Glass is tough, but it's not the indestructible thing a lot of people think it is. I still have the factory protector in place.
