Gorilla glass? ...Maybe not.

---

My phone's screen already has a scratch on it. I took off the 2nd screen protector thinking things would be rainbows and unicorns because GORILLA GLASS, that magical protection against all things sharp and pointy.

Not so apparently. The funniest part? My phone is rarely outside of my pocket, and it's always in its own pocket. There was a single incident in which it was in a pocket with other things, but the sharpest object in there was maybe a pencil. The screen also gives some pretty heavy flex with I push down it.

Hmm, thanks for sharing. I was actually just about to take the protector off for a clean feel sake. Guess now I won't.

Yeah, I hate to have to be "that guy", but I guess the uncertainty about the screen can finally be laid to rest. It's not GG.

It is gorilla glass confirmed by Motorola and corning, put this to rest. Its scratch resistant not scratch proof

It may not be gorilla glass but it definitely appears to be glass, and I'm happy with my protector off.....

So is it reasonable to expect a sea of nails to not scratch the almighty Gorilla Glass, yet have to whip the old "-resistant, not -proof argument" out when extremely light contact with something as comparatively dull as a standard #2 pencil brings it to its knees? I don't wear tight pants either, so don't even bother.

Please, people. Take the wool from over your eyes. I'm seriously starting to doubt if this thing is even glass.

Source? I've had 3 other devices with GG, no scratches on any of them, and they've had long lives that went through the wringer from drops to keys in the same pocket. This thing has 2-3 noticable scratches on it already. I plan to keep the screen protector off since I hate them and the damage to others $20-40 resale (at the time of sale, probably more as of today) has been done, while I can live with them.

As they say, "Your mileage may vary..."

I would wager it's a manufacturing flaw in your specific unit. Exchange it?
