---

It's Corning Gorilla Glass so you can go to their website and download the technical data sheets if you want to know.

http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/characteristics

no mention of "surface hardness" there.


anyone?

What happened to get your glass scratched?

I noticed slight scratches from the stylus on mine. My screen protector was a day late too, D'oH!!! You'd think that the stylus wouldn't scratch it

If you're looking to get rid of minor scratches you can try some 3M polish like this person tried. I'm thinking about getting some to get the screen back to a more pristine condition and re-apply the screen protector.

**EDIT**
Using the info that thread of gorilla glas = = alkali-aluminosilicate may yield better search results. I found a PDF that has some info but no direct surface hardness mentioned in the paper.

Also the gorilla glass wiki has a range of different hardnesses: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorilla_Glass

Through all my own anecdotal evidence, I've come to the conclusion that a portion of corning's production method leaves something to be desired in terms of consistency. Throughout the internet, threads can be found that go something like:

"I thought this pos had Gorilla Glass!!!! It scratches way to $$&*% easily!!!"

"My phone has been through hell with no case or screen protector and no scratches! You must've done something unreasonable!!!"

I've seen this everywhere, about almost every phone, and have come to this conclusion. Even my own g glass phones have varied wildly in scratch resistance. I still prefer having gorilla glass, but I do think it's a bit hit-or-miss.

i had my phone for 2 days and it got 2 scratches just from being in the pockets of my sweatpants. i took it back to best buy and got another one and had them immediately put on a screen protector.

the glass isn't nearly as scratch resistant as my HTC inspire. i had it for a year and only had 1 scratch.

My note has been through worse and is absolutely perfect! See my previous post .

The 'scratches' from your stylus are most likely in the coating on the surface of the glass, not the actual glass. Even regular glass isn't scratched by plastic. Rubbing some finger grease into them should fill them back in. I've noticed similar behavior on my Infuse, and they tend to go away as oils from my fingers fill them in.

my scratch is deep enough to feel with my fingernail...i dont think the 3M polish is meant for a scratch this deep from what i read on the link. thanks tho!
