[Q] Gorilla Glass on the Vibrant

---

Can anyone confirm that the Vibrant indeed does or does not have Gorilla Glass by Corning?

I am getting conflicting information.

Thanks

Jesse


BTW: If it does indeed have it is there really a need for a screen protector?

I had lunch with a samsung rep who claimed it did. I tried to confirm via the internets but all I found was rumors.

Not sure but always use a screen protector. ..

That's what I was thinking....

Have one you recommend?

Corning put out a press release last year stating that they'd picked up Samsung as a customer for Gorilla Glass® for their touch screen phones. All the Galaxy S series phones have Gorilla Glass®. Even the craptastic Behold II had it. The story is the same for basically all Motorola phones too, though I'm not sure about HTC (at least I've not seen anything official).

Corning Supplies Samsung Electronics with Gorilla™ Glass for Touch Screen Mobile Phones

Granted if you look at Corning's device list the Galaxy S series phones are not listed, but you can also notice the list itself is obviously fairly old.

Corning has the contract for Samsung, this much we know.

After watching some of the videos on youtube, I am not too worried. However, some on here have stated they received minor scratches, but none of those posts indicated WHAT they did to their phone that would cause a scratch.... the videos on youtube could make you cry though and only the box cutter caused scratches from what I could tell.

You should check out a thread in the Vibrant accessories thread on XDA, multiple pages about screen protectors. I just installed my invisibleshield and after trying it out will put an update in that thread. Some people say the invisibleshield makes swyping hard. The others recommended are Clearfreak and Reallook, although the latter seems to be what people are swaying towards now.

I also use zagg. Works great for me, but I've been a zagg fan for a while. Isn't hard to swype for ne.

^^^ is that list outdated or something? I would assume ours, and the droid X have gorilla.

^ Zagg is a personal preference... I for one ripped it off my phone is disgust, felt way way too rubbery (hard to swype)
