Just once, I would love for these scratch tests to include a few grains of pocket lint and sand, because that's what scratches glass. How often do you walk around with a screwdriver in your pocket?
Sand would own the glass. Let's see someone hit it with some sand paper

I don't get why people complain. Gorilla glass does not mean indestructable. If you drop you phone on concrete and it lands a certain way it may break. Stop dropping your phone is the best solution imo.

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.
Ok so I remember when I first got my 3d I loved the fact that the screen was basically smudge proof. The glass felt like ice and didn't really show fingerprints. Since then, my screen is often a smudgy mess and even wiping it on my shirt or whatever doesn't help much. Does anyone know of a way to like revitalize the slickness that it used to have? I remember something about people using rain-x to do this I think but I don't really remember any details... Any advice would be awesome.

Comment of the day lol
I am a greasy bastard myself and have the same problem. The smudge problem has caused me to be an avid hand washer due to this. Like others have said though. The Zagg screen protector does a fantastic job of keeping smudge stains down
I use oakley lens cleaner works wonders
its hard living in a blood red world
I use one of those micro-fiber cloths (with no cleaning fluid) on mine. Works like a charm.
I change oil for a living so this problem is an everyday thing for me, if you don't have any type of screen protector on it... There r a ton of lil tricks, the results are widely spread out,
I've heard of using "powder foundation" (make-up) to lightly "dust" it and wipe it clean and it should help out( sorta worked for me, but was a lot of work for a lil bit of a fix....
The alcohol wipes seem to work the best for me tho...

Hey buys, be warned DO NOT PUT THIS PHONE IN YOUR BACK POCKET. the digitizer may crack.
I was sitting on a chair yesterday with my phone in my back pocket and i heard a crack sound, took out my phone and there were 8 hairline cracks on the digitizer (the thing underneath the glass) The screen didn't turn on.

I don't mean this as sarcastically as it's going to sound, but how the hell is the back pocket the only pocket your i777 will fit in? Do you wear skinny jeans? Or are you just diminutive in stature?

Well, i do believe this thread has run its course.......
This is a strange one.
Last night I pulled my Maxx out of my pocket and it looked like an inch long piece of string was sticking out of the top of my phone in the place where the back panel and the top of the phone just above the camera and flash meet. I went to pluck it off realized it wasn't a string but a stretchy piece of something in between the two parts of the phone. Now that area of the back panel just above the camera wiggles. Anyone know what that stringy thingy was? Yeah, I know, "stringy thingy" is a real technical term. lol

It seemed a little more substantial than glue, almost like some kind of rubberized or silicone tape. I remember reading somewhere here on XDA that Moto used some kind of tape to make the Razr water resistant. Could this be the tape?
Try holding your phone under water for a few minutes and see if it leaks. If no water leaks in you should be OK.
I cannot say for sure but it's probably a rubberized sealant that was applied before the phone was assembled. They're semi-liquid and they cure to the consistency of rubber. After curing they are cut (manually or automatically) using a knife so that they conform to the shape.
I would assume that if the 'filament' that you took out has a constant width then you lost water-proofness for that area. You might be lucky and perhaps only teared part of the width of the sealant.
And no, don't put your phone under the water, it's a bad idea even if the seal is intact. It's splash proof only, not 'diving' proof, huge difference between those two.

The phone isn't made of plastic though. This isn't a Samsung device.
I do believe it is laser engraved into the aluminum and will be almost impossible to remove without damaging the device in some way.

Yeah, I can't really tell if it's laser engraved or if it's painted. I don't mind the logo on mine, but if there's a way to get rid of the logo I would remove the "beats" logo too.

I would try some 1000 grit sand paper. Just be careful not to hit the anodizing or you scratch that off too.

Once you use sandpaper, no matter what grit number, there's no way back. You'll never be able to make it blend with the rest of the area.
