U trolling? Because Corning.g makes screens not screen protectors...
Besides they sell directly to manufacturers not retail.

Gorilla glass is the screen glass itself. It's not a screen protector. Sure, it's possible, if you want, you can order the glass yourself, measure it to fit your X10 and take out the stock glass, and replace it.
But it'd be hard to do that, and I don't know how much a Gorilla glass costs.
Thnx for explanation friend. Gonna email to Corning asking that.. i´m fan of SE but no Handset with Gorilla Glass T__T ..
Cheers.

im not trolling.. just have a doubt about that.. im not from USA, im from El Salvador and here we do not have much info about retail vendors.. so i made a question cuz i like the Gorilla screens, a friend of mine hace an HTC and Motorola with GG.. and its awesome.. no scratches . SE Stock protector is not good as the GG screen.
Cheers.
I don't think Sony will release a Xperia Handset with Gorilla-Glas...
As far as I know only Motorola uses Gorilla-Glas.

here's a full list to avoid others chipping in.
Why would you even need it?
The mineral glass that the x10 screen is made of is very strong.
my x10 was impossible to scratch, the lg phone i have now already has a scratch.
Gorilla glass is good, but in the end just another marketing ploy

Sorry, getting gorilla glass through Corning is going to be cost prohibitive.
I've tried to order custom sized pieces (just plastic for something unrelated) and there are a few things working against you.
Corning will not do a one-off order. They themselves will require probably a minimum 10,000 pieces.
Corning will need to design the piece, this upfront cost will be included in your first order. And they'll probably need at least 1 donor X10... probably multiple.
There are a few companies that make glass similar to gorilla glass - but you're probably still going to have to order it in bulk. And then let's hope that they got the measurements right the first time.
Unless if a company thinks they can make money selling gorilla glass panels to users off ebay... your only choice is really to buy a new phone that comes with gorilla glass.

you didn't remove the original screen protector though, the scratches aren't on the actual screen.
I took it off and had it off for like a year and didn't get a single even scuff.
The gorilla glass screen I have now scratched much easier.

I think you still don't understand. Gorilla Glass is the GLASS itself. Screen protector is something else. If you have bought one, peel it off, and you'll see that there's already a screen protector. And if you peel it one more time, there wont be screen protector anymore. And that's the screen.

I understand everything.. i know GG is the Glass itself.. i think you are confused with the question, READ it again.. >>> i want to know IF Corning release any Screen Protector for handsets? <<< it means "possibility or existence".... i know the GG is for manufacturers only, not in retail. But a simple answer to my question is NO, it doesnt exist. Well im looking for a good screen protector some ppl use Amzer or EZguard. If someone knows any Screen protector better than those plz recommend.

Agreed.. Took my screen protector off about a month ago and it's still mint
Sent from my X10a using Tapatalk
it comes with a pre applied screen protector, and yes my phone wistanded so much friction and the screen is still as it was out of the box
I removed the screen protector after about a week after I got it, up to now it's still in mint condition. I look at it under the bright sunlight to see if there is any scratch recently, but I found none. So, I believed that it is true, that it is using a mineral glass and scratch resistant, but not scratch proof...
Hey same my screen is pretty mint with one month or normal usage with only the hidden screen protector. I do not think that the screen is scratch resistant but more like the hidden screen protector is.
IMHO I wouldn't take off the preapplied protector unless u replace it right away. I took off the protector when I got it and now my screen is really scratched up. There's even an imprint from when it came into contact with a hot lighter.

Lucky you took the protector off. It would have melted and been stuck permanently. How would you have taken melted plastic off the glass?
mine survived beach use... pretty tough
so i guess the x10 screen is scratch resistant after all

I had a fright the other day when I saw what I thought was a crater from where a bit of hot ash had landed, then realised even it was it had a SP on, in fact it's got two because I put another on not knowing it already came with one applied. It was just bit gravy after all, but had it of been ash it could have been nasty was the screen not protected.
And you can obviously show that it's not really "resistant" as such so I'm with you, leave it on or replace it straight away. But each to their own and all that.
Probably won't know for sure until after the release of the device, but whats the scuttlebutt on its screen?
I'm seriously considering one, but I don't really like using screen protectors. Think the Thunderbolt will have a Gorilla Glass screen? Plastic?
A side note, we need to stop screwing around and invent transparent aluminum.
I hope its glass
But its more than likely going to be plastic

I would be inclined to agree. 750 dollars is a steep price for a phone, it'd better be full blown gorilla glass for that price tag.
its 10000% scratch resistant glass (gorilla glass ? not posotive) but its not ****ty plast....old desire was plastic....desire hd was glass

May o' HTC reps have said that the DINC has a gorilla glass screen.
Just sayin.
Hopefully, we'll be seeing the TB soon. Who's going to use a screen protector?
Personally, I dislike them. They can make even the most beautiful screen look like crap if you get so much as a partial finger print on the wrong side of the film. On a plastic screen, they're probably a good idea though. Screens should be durable enough to handle being slid into/out of pockets and other general use without scratching them.
I hate screen protectors. I do put back covers on the phones though. I have used invisishield and I hated it. It ruins the smooth touch screen experience. My fingers would jam on the screen sometimes and sometimes the screen wont recognize when I swiped my finger.
No go on the protector.

What reason do you have to believe this, out of curiosity?
I bought this DInc for $550 and best buy is selling it, today, for $599 so I wouldn't be surprised if you're right, but I do wonder how you arrived at that particular number.

HTC uses Opaque Aluminum-Silicone Base for their screens. This is basically Gorilla Glass.
Why is it called "Opaque" when it is see-through?
They don't want it to be called transparent aluminum for some reason?
Hi,
When I was planning to buy Mozart (during its launch) I had checked quite a lot of sites for all possible previews and specs.
I had also checked GSM Arena.
Today I was in GSM Arena and in the Mozart section they have mentioned that it uses Gorilla Glass.
I am kind of sure that this was not there when I had read it earlier (Before buying)
Can any of you confirm this.
I did do a google search but could not find any solid leads
good question. i somehow feel it is not really gorilla glass though. but it is not really that scratch prone. is there anyone who use their mozart without screen protector? any comments?
thanks!
According to the official website of Gorilla Glass the HTC Mozart HAVE IT!

i not use screen protector,..... so far so good
same thing for me..no scratch protector, fell off my hands once but no scratches to the screen so far... can't say the same for the rest of the phone though ;(
no light scratches or anything?
I got a scratch on my phone the 2nd day I owned it, not sure how I scratched it but since then I have had a screen protector.
No protection here, no scratches so far...

is it better to have a screen protector on ( I know its safer but I mean for touch senstivity etc.) Would prefer not to get scrtaches on it as Im going to sell it when the new nokia comes out.
I've dropped my Mozart a couple times and I have 3 deep scratches on my screen. I didn't think it was gorilla glass as I thought it was tougher. Although some of those drops were from quite a height and the screen is still in one piece. The Mozart is one tough cookie but I would recommend using a screen protector and possibly a case just to keep it looking beautiful.
i dont think its gorilla glass. it would be great if it really is scratch resistant. in the site, they said that the desire z was using gorilla glass, but when i had the screen replaced due to dust build up, i was able to feel it and it feels like plastic. i think the only phone they had with gorilla glass was the hd2.
Its confirmed by loads of websites and HTC them selves its Gorrilla Glass. END OF!

Easy enough to make scraches even if it is.

nothing is scratch resistant, it's just harder to scratch.

It comes, like other HTC's, with a complete protector witch you can't use just on the screen, and you can't use that protector while using the phone itself...

i dont understand what you are talking about.
I've got 2 scratches on the screen one of about 2 cm and a smaller one of about 8 mm.
Is it possible to get just the screen replaced ? I don't want to have too much trouble replacing it as I've kind of get used to it, but it doesn't look pretty.
Had BTW a dream last night that the screen got shattered - fortunately I woke up and look at it and thought PHEW
EDIT: Whoops - this should have been in Q&A ...
Did you take the factory screen protector out ? If no then every X10 comes with a screen protector already applied. You can check the edges you will notice it.
Damn.. I did not know there was such a thing
Thanks for telling me - but how do you remove it ?

Mineral glass, crystal glass... same thing different name.
Mineral glass is ordinary tempered glass made from silica. It is more scratch resistant than Plexiglass which is a plastic also used for watch crystals.
The most scratch resistant crystals are usually mineral glass coated with synthetic Sapphire.

I us the ZAGG screen protector its like stab proof and whatnot. I love it. Been using it since my first smartphone. They can get somewhat pricey depending where you buy them i usually buy them at radio shack and have them put it on for me. I asked an actual zagg person if they have any for the camera and they said no something along the lines of the flash reflecting off the plastic and into the camera. its believable..
If you think you are even remotely likely to drop your phone or accidentally have something rub up against it I would recommend you just get one. I have a ZAGG and it is great so far. I figure if you are going to be carrying around something so expensive that you may as well have it protected.
Screen protectors are relatively cheap. I've read enough stories of even GG phones getting scratched in pockets, that I prefer to be safe than have to fork out for a new screen or deal with scratches, Gorilla-glass or not.
I have a Clear-Coat on both mine and my wife's E3Ds. Works great, reduces fingerprints and smudges, and you don't even notice it's there.
What about those dual cameras on the back.....is there a scratchguard available for the back....
