Hey is that your thrive? I'm thinking of buying one.

Dang there are a lot of these. If it flew off a car at speed I can understand this but people have been spider-webbing their screens just from a 2 foot drop. Maybe they should rename "Gorilla Glass" to "Sissy Screen" or "Fairy Film".

i had a rubber case on it and it stick to the car and i didnt notice for miles, but then i took the highway and i just saw that coming off and stopped right in the highway just to see 3 trucks running over the phone and thats the result... :-(

Or they could just rename it to what it most likely is, HTC's own proprietary glass and not GG.

It doesn't have gorilla glass. My epic had gorilla glass. I dropped it numerous times and intentionally keyed the **** out of it to show off with no ill effects.

Gorilla glass is not to make the glass stronger, It offers a more scratch resistant screen, it will hold a little better than regular glass but it wont be much.
My phone never leaves my hand, you can ax my mama that.
I don't know about you, but it's virtually impossible for me to forget a $500 device sitting on the hood of a car, let alone for it to even be on the hood of a car in the first place.
Calm, that really Sux man. My wife one time left her og evo on the roof of our car, and we drove off, LOL... Luckily, she had a case (a rubber one) on it. Well, we didn't notice it on the roof, and we drove off. Later, we were looking for it and we couldn't find it. She remembered leaving it on the hood. Sol. Anyway, a day or two later we get a call from some lady saying she found a EVO on the side of the road, and asking if we owned it. I told her yes, and that my wife left it on our roof of our car. Well, LUCKILY, nothing was wrong with it. No broken screen, no scratches, nothing! I was amazed..

Are you serious? My one day old Rezound smashed. I wish it would've had gorilla glass at this point. I am so distraught right now that i've posted pics and a few different forums. While preparing Thanksgiving dinner, listening to music the headphones caught the door knob and slam right to the floor. I am thankful that Amazon is replacing the phone free of charge even though I had Asurion insurance (no $99 replacement). But the phone won't be here until Tuesday :'( lol.

Using an extended battery and Verizon didnt have a case for the extended battery. Plus I never use cases but that will change Tuesday when I get my new phone.
When did you check Verizon for a case? I picked my phone up a few days after release. Bought the extended battery and the case that fits on the same day. Fits the hand great. And has a stand on the back.

Yep, it's not magic, it all depends on what it hit and the angle. No matter what kind of glass it is, it can break.
Not really that tech savvy. I assumed that gorilla glass was a lot stronger than regular glass thus indestructible lol. Well I definitely learned my lesson. I'm going to buy the red silicone case and use the extended battery as needed.
There was a post on several Android forums about someone dropping their new Droid RAZR, shattering the glass on it. It even has Gorilla Glass. Unless it's bulletproof, there's no glass that isn't breakable, just scratch resistant.
Either way, sorry your phone was damaged man. Hope you get a replacement soon!

Well, the name does conjure up all-around strength for 99% of people that hear it so it's not hard to understand that's what they expect. Whoever owns it could have used another name to more closely describe its resistance to scratches, like "Diamond Guard" or something.
So you're saying Gorilla Glass isn't all it's cracked up to be? Perhaps we've just shattered the illusion of indestructibility. It's shard to keep up with all the splintered information around it. I wouldn't want this discussion to fracture into disconnected threads, though, so let's not all go to pieces over it!

Too much, man. Too much.
Anytime it says resistant, that's not proof! Like a water resistant watch is not water proof. Read about Gorilla glass here -
http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/faqs
I remember the news here in Denver doing a live shot with that armored Casio phone, having people drop it and such, saying it was "break resistant". Some guy, prob 25 walked up, they told him to drop it, he spiked it into the sidewalk into pieces. Made me laugh so hard I did a spit take all over my coffee table...
Sorry need to vent and before anyone asks, I have ordered some accessories already, no ones got anything locally. So here goes my story.... By accident I dropped my phone on a mat and it bounced lightly and hit the gym floor, I was sitting down so my phone was only about 12" from the mat. Anyways long story short I have a nice 4mm scratch on my screen...
I have had a few phones with gorilla glass thats been dropped harder and no scratches.. Like my infuse that got its housing dented and landed face down. (wasn't my fault, friend dropped it) Im so pissed right now, this thing is only 2 days old.

It is possible to scratch Gorilla Glass; Corning's marketing materials call it "scratch resistant". My Photon 4G has Gorilla Glass and the previous owner managed to scratch it.

You could have dropped it on some miniscule piece of sharp metal or something... who knows.
That first scratch is always the worst ;(
Man, sorry to hear about your GNote. I would be distraught. Everyone be careful with your new phones! AND get your screen protectors on.
First cut is the deepest
Could it be possible that the scratch happened from another incident where you wouldn't expect damage at all and you never really noticed till you dropped it then closely examined it? For example.. Sliding it into your jeans pocket while the face of the phone scrapes along the copper stud at the top of the fob/ticket/watch pocket (the small one)...
That has totally happened to me a long time ago with my blackberry, was PISSED that I had a long ass scratch on my screen and was puzzled as to how it came to be. Until I slide it in my pocket only to notice it happen again and realized lol
But, again, that was just an example of a seemingly harmless but destructful act.
I was going to say you must have a nice gym where the floor is made of diamonds...
Sorry about the scratch, tho. Your scratch looks just like mine - which I can't actually see if the display is on. Hopefully yours isn't too bad.
I don't see how because you happened to scratch your screen it equates to the device not having gorilla glass at all. Its not indestructible ya' know.

To be fair, though, your post title looks like you're trolling. I'd suggest changing it if you can...nothing wrong with venting, but spreading misinformation is kind of uncool even though you're frustrated (and I can definitely relate to that). Maybe "Gorilla Glass isn't as tough as I thought..." and then show an HD video of the vball game shot with your Note just because you can.

True, where you in Yoga trying impress the ladies with your note. Trying to show them you had something longer than 5inch To be honest its the position your phone lands. You must have got your phone to land where the impact dampners couldn't help.

My Captivate is 1 1/2 years old. I've never had a screen protector near it. I've dropped the thing a dozen times, it even slid 15 feet on it's face on an asphalt covered hill. I stuck it in and out of my pocket over 1,000 times and it doesn't have one scratch on the glass.
I was really hoping we would get the same protection on the Note.
Guess I am going to re-think the whole screen protector thing. Bummer!
Thanks to this dude, I found out how to fix my kickstand (when Sprint couldn't, they said send it to HTC)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28138385&postcount=13
lemme guess OP.. The kickstand got a lot weaker than it first was? Same problem here. You can disassemble the top half of the back and you will see a nut right above the kickstand. Use a fine tip object to rotate it downward to tighten it and put a dab of glue (optional) so it doesn't loosen again. voila!

Well I kinda play around with it since it's fun lol. Less than 200 times though, no idea. Still, a fix is better than broken.
This is good.info although I figured it out by myself..out of nowhere my kickstand got loose and when I was holding the phone the kickstand would hang out a little bit..it drove me nuts..if u shook the phone it would slap around..I took a mini screwdriver and carefully pushed the nut around until the kickstand was tight as **** and its been fine ever since

Just be careful -- loctite destroys polycarbonate (it leads to stress cracking). Even loctite fumes can weaken it. I would go with something like super glue. Super glue will cause polycarbonate to become foggy if it comes in contact with it, but it won't cause structural damage.
Thanks for giving me some of the credit
even tho I said to use some glue in that post I never actually tried it, mine gets loose every couple of days. Anyone have good experience using glue after tightening?

Mine just started doing this a few days ago...drove me nuts as well! Did the exact same thing as you with a mini screwdriver (didn't really think it would work), but lo and behold, it worked. My kickstand is as good as new - I just hope we won't have to do this on a regular basis.
Anyone have any feedback on the super glue idea?
I have the loose kickstand problem. I attempted to tighten the the nut, but it just kept on spinning and spinning, without ever tightening. Messing with it actually made the looseness worse! Has anyone else had this happen?

Do you play a lot of games or hold the device in landscape often?
I'm just spit-balling here, but.. could be oil from your palm penetrating the stock screen protector? or between stock and your screen protector?
Maybe it was there from the start but I never noticed it. Haven't played any games on it or had my finger there.
I really wonder what it is and why you can only see it when breathing on it, when I wipe it clean its really hard to see.
How easy is it to remove the ASF?

I would think it is the coating on the screen protector as well.
As for removing the stock protector, it can be done but by all accounts you will feel like committing suicide halfway through. there is a guide somewhere on here

so sapphire isnt that good at all, yes?
one possible reason probably is that i am always fingering the volume up button. im using the international version btw where the lens an dthe button is flat and too close to each other. this is a flaw to the design. but it's sapphire it shouldnt crack like that.

the point is, for a high end phone with camera lens that cracks on a normal day to day use is not good LG should look into this. If it is heat related, then definitely they should all recall the unit and replace the international version with the Verizon's version. My nokia is still alive after 10+ landings on hard floor.
Well of course it can brake. Everything brakes. The main point of sapphire on lens glass as I believe is that it is very scratch resistant.

Impact break. Left side.
And this crack is from a normal day to day use?...
Not in my opinion. That is definitely not a flaw or internal pressure break. Something hit it, pressed very hard on that one area, or focused pressure on that area.
Its always in my pocket. Probably twisted because sometime when i talk the nillkin case off it sounded like its gonna snap. Lg support in ph wont cover it though. I guess im gonna pay to have the glass replaced. But i can live with this becausd image wuality is not aggected. It just looks ugly.
They are right for not covering it. It is visually end user fault. Can't be to expensive to get it replaced.
