I failed to mention that I am on my 2nd Gnex. The 1st one fell from 6 inches, (I exaggerate), and the it cracked across the whole screen long ways. Albeit, its not as annoying as my buddies shattered Iphone, but still annoying none the less.

Gorilla glass is garbage.. Look at all the issues with the RAZR’s screen cracking with light abuse or just all on its own… Someone F’ed that up

I use cases on my phones, so I only see the front of it. I honestly don’t care what color it is.

To be honest, I don’t know. I know they claimed it was something special but I think they sacrificed quality to get that curve in the screen.

What is the name of the glass on the Gnex? I was reading about Gorilla 2 when it was at CES in Jan this year, Twice as thin and twice as strong. My og droid had the original, dropped from 2-3 feet 20 times or more, never had a scratch yet.

Multiple scratches on my Gnex and yesterday I dropped it. If fell a whopping 2 feet face down. Did it shatter? Nope. But, due to that lovely curve in the screen, it split right right across the bottom. A perfect, clear, hairline crack right about where the display area meets the buttons. Dropping it may be my fault, but the scratches are insane. I too was a Droid X owner and I had never even had a single scratch, let alone multiple.

Well I’ve had my Gnex since December and not a scratch on it. On my thunderbolt I eventually got fine scratches noticible in the sun. But nothing at all on this Gnex.

I said that gorilla glass was stupid and pointless when I found out that the galaxy nexus did not have it, just like I said that cameras wasnt only about the megapixels. I will continue to lie about the fact that my galaxy nexus takes terrible pictures and the screen is scratched. Now that the gs3 has gorilla glass, I think its cool again.

The digitizer is on top of the glass, it would not work at all if it were under glass. Doesn't matter if the glass is .01mm or an inch thick. Touch sensitivity is a result of the digitizer design, implementation, sampling rates, etc. not the thickness of the glass.

Hmm, well the thickness of the original never bothered me, and since Gorilla Glass is all about strength it seems stronger would be better. I guess if the increased flexibility makes it less likely to shatter then I’d support that though.
