Watched a torture test (CNET?) where they froze, baked, dropped in fish tank and dropped from lap getting out of SUV... all past except the drop. It landed on the face and fractured.
Obviously not gorilla glass and a bit of a disappointment. Guess I'll need some form of case protection for this already large phone which I've pre-ordered.

Did you post this in every forum?? Yes, it has Gorilla glass. Even diamonds will scratch if you use something as hard or harder.
Lol, I just watched the same vid. Yes CNET.
So, just looked up the specs and it says gorilla glass 2. Now I'm confused
For those that will come back and say it's not scratch proof...I know I know.
But I'd expect a little less of a break if I were to drop it.
Where are you getting this info? The Note 2 has Gorilla Glass 2.

Did you see the driveway she dropped it on? Big pointed rocks hardened in concrete, it likely landed directly on the screen at one one of those pointed rocks. No,phone anywhere with gorilla glass or not will withstand that. Every time you drop a phone you run a chance of shattering the screen depending how it lands. Any phone.
Hi all. Technically gorilla glass is kind of scratch proof depending on what's scratching it. I saw a video explaining this the other night and found it interesting. On a hardness scale I believe gg is a 8-9 depending on conditions when the sheet was produced. If anything with a smaller hardness number comes in contact with the screen it won't scratch, if something with a harder number (like sand) comes in contact with gg it will scratch. 
Unfortunately these drop tests are hit and miss too. It all depends on where the impact point on the screen is and it will be different with every drop.
Hope this helps

The iPhone isn't on that list either, they've had Gorilla glass since version 1.

Unless there's an update coming to Corning's site....Note 2 is not displayed as a product with Gorilla. Just sayin'

I would guess it'll get updated eventually. Went through something similar with my LG Nitro HD last year. Previews and reviews of the phone said it had Gorilla Glass, but it wasn't listed on any official specs and wasn't on the Corning site at the time either so some people started claiming it didn't have it. At some point the Corning site got updated and the Nitro is listed now.
Due to customer agreements, we cannot identify all devices that feature Gorilla Glass. Your favorite device may include Gorilla Glass, even if you don't see it listed. Ask your manufacturer or retailer to learn more.
Don't be a bloody a$$!
Every High End phone being release has Gorilla Glass, Gorilla Glass 2, or an equivalent hardened glass product. This conversation is as old as the hills. It is scratch and break resistant, and does a good job at that, but it is not idiot proof. One good thing about GG is the amount of flex it will take. Even still if someone carries a Note II in their back pocket, I don't want to hear about it if they make a bloody a$$ of themselves doing so.
