Why your Phone needs Gorilla Glass

3

Gorilla Glass features exceptional damage resistance to the scratches, drops, and bumps of everyday use. If you have a Motorola, Samsung Galaxy, or LG Android phone you are in luck because it’s likely that your phone comes with this installed. HTC phones on the other hand don’t use this at the moment, so if you have one of these devices you might want to be a bit more careful.

Here are a couple demonstrations of Gorilla Glass in action. I can tell you that after seeing these I now understand why my Droid screen remains flawless after 18 months of hard use without any screen protectors.

Here is a listing of mobile devices that use Gorilla Glass from Corning’s website. There are other devices that may have it as well but they are not authorized to report them unfortunately.

    Don’t be fooled, gorilla glass is no substitute for properly protecting your equipment. I dropped mine once an shattered my display. Good news is that it still worked properly. When I finally got it replaced I added a screen protector and a hard case. Its the only screen I’ve ever broken.

    Motorola Razr XT910, faceplant on concrete from about 2 feet and it completely trashed the glass. Plastic + screen protector would be better.
