Gorilla glass not so tough...

---

Sorry need to vent and before anyone asks, I have ordered some accessories already, no ones got anything locally. So here goes my story.... By accident I dropped my phone on a mat and it bounced lightly and hit the gym floor, I was sitting down so my phone was only about 12" from the mat. Anyways long story short I have a nice 4mm scratch on my screen...

I have had a few phones with gorilla glass thats been dropped harder and no scratches.. Like my infuse that got its housing dented and landed face down. (wasn't my fault, friend dropped it) Im so pissed right now, this thing is only 2 days old.

It is possible to scratch Gorilla Glass; Corning's marketing materials call it "scratch resistant". My Photon 4G has Gorilla Glass and the previous owner managed to scratch it.

Ya I know, just that it was such a light drop and I got a scratch..

You could have dropped it on some miniscule piece of sharp metal or something... who knows.

That first scratch is always the worst ;(

Man, sorry to hear about your GNote. I would be distraught. Everyone be careful with your new phones! AND get your screen protectors on.

First cut is the deepest

Could it be possible that the scratch happened from another incident where you wouldn't expect damage at all and you never really noticed till you dropped it then closely examined it? For example.. Sliding it into your jeans pocket while the face of the phone scrapes along the copper stud at the top of the fob/ticket/watch pocket (the small one)...

That has totally happened to me a long time ago with my blackberry, was PISSED that I had a long ass scratch on my screen and was puzzled as to how it came to be. Until I slide it in my pocket only to notice it happen again and realized lol
But, again, that was just an example of a seemingly harmless but destructful act.

I was going to say you must have a nice gym where the floor is made of diamonds...

Sorry about the scratch, tho. Your scratch looks just like mine - which I can't actually see if the display is on. Hopefully yours isn't too bad.

I don't see how because you happened to scratch your screen it equates to the device not having gorilla glass at all. Its not indestructible ya' know.

Why have your Gnote at the gym first fail right there. iPod shuffle all day for gym use
