The screen still shattered in a four foot drop test done by Slip Gizmo or Gizmo slip on Youtube… The Galaxy SII does fine though…?

I just dropped my galaxy nexus on hard tile. From two feet up. (It fell out of my jacket pocket when i bent over) it survived. Perfect condition. Thst is the reason why i looked up what kind of glass the nexus has.

Mine is a scratch magnet after 2 weeks. My droid x never had a screen protector, and it’s screen now looks better than my GN.I regret not going with the RAZR. Screen protector en route and couldn’t arrive soon enough.

This glass can be as thin as 0.5 mm and can also be found in the thickness of 2 mm. However, its strength and resistance remains the same in all kinds of thickness. http://www.whatisall.com/

Big freaking deal! Passes the key-test, but…

…my Droid X supposedly has Gorilla glass and looks like absolute HELL from being pulled in-and-out of my back pocket for the past 9 months. On top of that, the thing has NEVER been touched by anything sharper than a fingernail. The display has got tiny tiny scuffs all over it. Must have some wild dust bunnies in my pocket?

Sham-Wow!!!

Far as i remember Samsung runs everything as a bidding game. ( i could be wrong on the everything part though) That is why you have Samsung phones that don’t run Samsung parts, when they clearly make a viable part. If it is true they do that for everything. I could see Samsung going with a no-name brand that had a better bid ( assuming it passed certain requirements on scratch proofness i am sure).

Don’t usually bother with saying anything about the scratch test, but here goes.

Keys are made of brass or soft stainless steel for the most part. If you want to test something for scratch resistance, use some common dirt off the ground. Sand, dust, pieces of silica (sand) and pretty much anything other than house keys would be a better test.

Oh, and before anyone says something along the lines of “I don’t carry a beach in my pocket”…. yes you do, you just are not aware of it.

Flame on ——–>

p.s. having blurted that, it’s still a visually impressive test.

It’s a legit test. It’s the item people are most likely going to have in their pocket with their phone.

Sure sand and knives might do more damage, but who keeps a handful of sand or an open knife in their pocket. And if you do, I think you have bigger issues than what your phone looks like.
