No its not.

Whatever it is, it's pretty tough. I ran the tip of a knife on it, and there are no visible marks. You won't need one of those screen guards on this.

No, it may be scratch resistant, but its definitely not tough. There are plenty of report of the glass shattering when its slipped off someones lap when they are sitting.
The 7" tab has gorilla glass. The 10.1 tab does not.

it definitely is gorilla or is not???? lol
I asked Samsung awhile back and was told the 10.1 is GG.
seems very hard to me. Whether it is gg or not the larger the surface the more fragile it becomes, unless you make it a lot thicker.

They told me the same thing when I contacted their customer support. I'm going to take their word over others that are saying it's not.

It very definitely might be.
Yeah, its hard to say for sure... I'm leaning towards a similar compound to GG, but in a thinner, more brittle application so as to preserve thinness. Its like the iPhone, the screen isn't "Gorilla Glass" but its made in the same factory

I can't get the links to open. Yes, I'm sure. I asked them 2 separate times, and both times their response was yes.
I've seen a few videos on the web of people doing the scratch test on the 10.1v. It passed.
I can only assume they kept the same glass for the 10.1, but made other modifications.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
There are videos on YouTube showing keys not scratching the GT10.1... If it's not Gorilla Glass it seems to be just as strong.
From Corning's website:
Samsung: Behold II, Captivate, Continuum, Corby S3650, Corby W900, Epic 4G, Fascinate, Flight II, Focus, Galaxy A, Galaxy Ace, Galaxy S, GALAXY S II, Galaxy S 4G, Galaxy Tab, Lindy, Mesmerize, Monte, Monte Preston, Omnia HD, S8500 WAVE, Showcase, Trance, Transform, Ultra TOUCH S8300, Vibrant, Wave II
it's pretty frustrating when the product manufacturer says one thing
and a component vendor states the opposite ....

I agree. There are tons of "gorilla glass test" videos on Youtube. Whatever it is, it's very strong. I wouldn't worry too much. I'd still recommend getting a screen protector though. Easier to clean fingerprints.

Actually they say the Galaxy Tab but not the Galaxy Tab 10.1. The original Tab has been known to have Gorilla Glass I believe...

I know it doesn't answer your question but I wouldn't ever do something like that. I paid a premium price for a premium product and I want the whole ******* world to know what brand of phone I have!
there's a logo on the back, isn't there?
i'd also love to know. it would make the phone look so much sleeker (the front, anyways)

Yeah, you are right! I might buy an Nexus S instead ;P
Best to check out ifixit. They have articles about how easy it is to repair or replace parts on various 'phone. The Nexus S and Galaxy i9000 are there. It'll only be a while afore the i9100 follows.
For example, here is the Nexus S:
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus-S-Teardown/4365/1
There is no reason to think that the teardown for the i9100 would not be as good. With this information, one could well remove the front window pane and see how easy it is to alter the Samsung logo.
Black insulating tape? :-D

This might help. covers the full front and its a good quality cover from SGP. ordering mine soon...
Turns out i still don't have enough posts to post outside links . neway, search up "Galaxy S2 SGP Glass". u will find what I'm talking about.
Can anyone confirm whether or not the U.S. version of the Note will have Gorilla Glass? Looking at the specs on Samsung's site for both models shows it only on Euro version. http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxynote/note/spec.html?type=find
U.S. site http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SGH-I717ZBAATT
No mention of it anywhere.
Samsung and Gorilla Glass have a joint venture with each other.
Even IF it didn't have official gorilla glass, it will still have reinforced scratch resistant glass made with the same process / materials / technology.
I assume it will have gorilla glass. The only high end Samsung phone to not have it in recent times that I know of is the galaxy nexus and the nexus s before that, and that is because of the curved display. If it doesn't, I guess ill have to go back to screen protectors, but its not going to stop me from getting this beast.

That is awesome. I mean, I can't picture trying it myself. But is the lte using the same screen as One X? Also, random, I hate the One X screen the way it sticks up out of the chassis.
Also, I was in a sprint store today, and the rep scratched a Motorola photon screen with a set of keys, repeatedly to show how resistant the screen is. No damage. Said they've been doing it every day for fun. But, does Evo have same glass as photon? Rep didn't know and I've never investigated.

correct,
although there is almost no difference in strength between gorilla glass and gorilla glass 2. The latter is designed to be thinner.

I have the HD Zagg on, but it kinda messes with the P-sensor, when i make a call and put the phone away from my face it sometimes doesnt turn on, never had this issue with my 3d. And if it matters i payed 8 dollars at bestbuy to get it installed.
this video is amazing! makes me wonder if i really need my otter box defender now. LOL
sprint store i went to today had an htc rep there. i asked him what kinda screen it was. he told me himself that it was gorilla glass 2. i even asked him if he was sure, he said he was. he seems very knowledgable about htc products cuz he answered all my questions even though i already knew the answers
Hmm, this is interesting. So, wouldn't it make sense that if a manufacturer as big and as marketing savvy as HTC was going to sell a flagship phone such as this that came equipped with GG/GG II, they would be advertising it as a selling point? Not trying to troll my own thread but it seems like they've done this in the past with their other phones as well. I wonder why?

You probably got a piece of sand in your pocket, silica/quartz/sand will scratch gorilla glass. Or diamonds, if you are rolling around in those.

Thanks for YouTube link. I watched that AND two about Gnex, both were scratch tests and showed no scratching.
BUT...all 3 vids I watched had user comments saying they (users) had scratched screens,...just from everyday use. And Slayer69 (oh so sadly, sorry bro) already scratched his. Little hard to know what to believe.

Dry/static cling protectors don't work on the curve, only wet application protectors can follow the curve, and therefore cover the whole screen.

Well, I am not that ignorant that I wouldn't search for it. I read pretty much every review and this one is the only one dating it's Gorilla Glass. Not sure where the author would take that info from.
This is the only phone where there Samsung site doesn't specify the type of glass used. GSMArena also mentioned specifically in their review that they don't know which glass it is.
Have contacted Samsung numerous times already but they haven't replied yet either.
At forbes they state its gorilla glas 3

Which is weird. The Alpha is marketed as a phone particularly for the high end materials rather than the internal specs. I would have thought that the quality of the screen material used is significant to mention. Since its not it's rather doubtful that it's GG3.
