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.

Guess it all depends on how careful you are with your phone. I've had my hd2 for 14 months. It has gorilla glass. Not one scratch. Looks the way it did the day I bought it.
I am kind of surprised that people still use this stuff. Have had my Hero from day one and not a scratch on it (I don't believe his is gorilla glass either, heck I don't even have a case for it and only problems are from the buttons wearing off).
I also wonder if putting a screen protector on it will change the 3D effects going on.
oh yea, good question. i thought about that, but what the heck, its only $11
I used a zagg on my hero for a long time. Then it got some sorry of crap on it that wouldn't come. So I removed it and went with just the screen. I must admit, at first I was thoroughly surprised with its durability but it did scratch. Twice. Big deep ones. And I don't even know how. I keep it in a body glove case and I take good care of it.
Idk, I think screen protectors are a good thing but its just personal preference I guess.

Here comes the gorilla glass argumemt again. Have you never seen an iphone with a scratched screen? Ive seen countless that are just terrible. Gorilla glass can be scratched by sand and their is sand in dirt and probably in your pocket. It might be harder to break but i dont think its too much harder to scratch.

If the gorilla glass doesnt effect it i dont think a screen protector will. Surely we would of heard reports of that by now with the optimus 3d. The matte ones could have some sort of effect.

Nope.
1) There's no direct correlation between brittle and hard. An advanced material, like Gorilla Glass, *may* be harder and less brittle at the same time compared to regular glass.
2) If I remember correctly, all Gorilla Glass demonstrations of the past involved smashing a small piece with a hammer. Gorilla Glass is definitely less brittle than regular glass.

Meanwhile, the weight and size are unusual in part because of its large multi-touch screen with a size reaches 4.3 inches diagonally and getting the same HTC Sensation resolution (540 x 960 pixels). This display is for displaying images in three dimensions without requiring the user to buy special glasses separately, in addition to the glass used is Gorilla Glass, a material highly resistant to both scratches and bump

Glass would be brittle. It is just the nature of ceramic materials.
In this test you talking about. Was the glass suspended by two support point with the impact load being in the middle? Or was the middle slowly being pushed down?
these mobile glass test should be done horizontally normal to a side or corner. to imitate a fall. A normal load from the surface test is for test people punching their phones or a stressful push.
Would anyone here know the density of our screen? Maybe it is the same as the corning glass but from a different manufacture.

In a way it's some sort of a metaphor. Trying to convey that the one X can withstand that much damage to the screen. Something the iphone can't do.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
Most phones with Gorrilla Glass would be able to survive that. It's really strong against straight on impact. If you were to drop it on its side, at an angle, it would crack.
Still pretty impressive to see though.
I think it is the same glass with nokia lumia 900, so, what lumia 900 can do ,also one x can do.
And this is not the cellphone manufactuer's proud, it is the glass manufactuer Corning who make the powerful glass.

See to my mind....scratches on the screen are more of an issue than screen's smashing, because if you drop the phone, scratches will appear on the screen whether you've smashed it or not. Gorilla glass isn't scratch proof its shatter proof (so far)

You have an otterbox defender. And I'm considering doing the same thing. I'm thinking of getting one of those "wet apply" screen protectors to avoid getting bubbles. I might just get a ghost armor next time I go to the mall.

Had it on for a couple days, so far feels just as great as the ZAGG.

I use this screen protector on mine and I love it. This was my first screen protector where you need to apply wet and I haven't looked back since putting it on. It doesn't take away from the display and fits perfect and is easy to put on. I ordered mine off amazon and got it cheaper than 12$ at the time. I also got a lifetime warranty on it so if it gets too worn down I will just get a new one. Deffidently the best one I have found so far.

Glass is glass. It will still shatter with enough force (not that a screen protector would save it from that). But even still, small particles of sand and rock and such can still easily scratch the screen. Don't believe its scratch proof when its scratch resistant.

Bummer man, all in how it lands, even with a case there's always a chance that the shock will hit just right (or wrong). I don't even bother with cases anymore because I always see people with their shattered phone screens in big cases. I think cases are probably the best for avoiding nicks to the body of the phone, but most are not gonna prevent a cracked screen.
i think if you didn't have the case, the screen would have shattered to an extent of being unusable, so it could have been worst. Typically, decent cases protect small falls due to the case's lip. I guess you were very unlucky.

Well you can still purchase insurance or a extended warranty. Also, if you purchased the phone with a premium credit card, your credit card company will fix it for you for free.
All of the broken screen threads blame the phone, and it always seems to be some ridiculous drop. "I dropped my phone two inches onto a pile of cotton balls and unicorn fur...screen shattered".
Gorilla glass is not break resistant, it is scratch resistant. It sucks that your screen is broken, but in no way is it Corning's or Samsung's fault.

Been SO curious about the glass screen protectors. you like them? I have always used the PET (hard plastic ones not the 3m film) and think they are great. Does the glass ones scratch less than the PET film ones?
OP, that really sucks man! However, If you dont want to use insurance (its probably about a $150 deductible) if you can live with it for a couple weeks, replacement glass should start popping up on ebay and such. I have replaced glass for many friends on a lot of different phones and its SUPER easy. You can usually buy a kit with the tools you need and everything for less than $20. :good:

Been SO curious about the glass screen protectors. you like them? I have always used the PET (hard plastic ones not the 3m film) and think they are great. Does the glass ones scratch less than the PET film ones?

Glass screen protectors are GREAT and a true lifesaver! Find a cheap one on Ebay and u should be able to find one for less than $10. The glass screen protectors are MILES ahead of the PET screen protectors!
I got the spigen tr.glas, really smooth to use

Yes and they last for a very long time assuming you don';t chip the glass and you put it on properly. I had mine on for almost a year without any issues on the M7.
@shojus thanks for the info
