Gorilla Glass does not mean don't use a screen protector.

Sure it does. Gorilla glass it scratch proof and the only thing that a protector is going to protect you from is scratches. It's not going to protect the device from shattering if dropped, neither is gorilla glass.

gorilla glass makes screen protectors moot.

Not correct. It's scratch-resistant, not-scratch proof.

Plain old sand in your pocket will scratch it it. Google it - plenty of posts saying what I just said.

I work for corning, and when it comes to what products do and dont have gorilla, they keep it very hush hush.. Pretty much sounds like its a need to know type thing. They only put it on the website if they get the ok from the manufacture, which you can do a search on motorolas website for gorilla glass, and motorola will come out saying "x" phone has it, but yet corning hasnt updated the gorilla glass website. grrrr

Pretty safe to say the Xoom won't suffer from this - unless you have HUGE pockets

Yeah, you're right - I was thinking of my Photon when I posted that and realized later what I did!

But, my point wrt GG still valid, of course if you use your Xoom outdoors or exposed to sand.

I've just seen too many posts in the last (almost) year where people still get scratches even when being careful.

And no, I don't have huge pockets! My bad!
