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
http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonk...-galaxy-alpha-2014s-biggest-smartphone-fight/
I conform information are very rare and nobody knows if there is a proof beside "stating" from third sites in the spec it is Gorilla Glas 3...

I woul drecommend anyway using a good display protector. I use their protector for my alpha.

That Forbes article also says that the iPhone has a sapphire display. So they obviously don't do their research properly.

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.

Hi,
Does Samsung Galaxy Ace has Gorilla Glass.? On corning site they have mentioned it has Gorilla Glass, but anyone here can confirm it. Have any users scratched their screen? or any other experiences to share? Any using a scratch guard?
I got quite a few little scratches, not a big problem, but for me "scratch-resistant" is something else
i have a very tiny scratch about 0.5cm on my screen and i am not using any screen protector. Got to find one soon.
I suggest to use an anti-fingermark screen protector for SGA.
Yes, it has. Watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zv4Llv3UedY
One of mine has deep scratches. So I dont belive its gorillaglass or else gorillaglass is not so different
Yes it does. Check Gsmarena.com if you want to confirm.
Yes it's gorilla glass. My phone has no protection and for over a month with my keys and pens inside my bag, it still has no scratch.

Well.. Thanks for your views.. I just a new Samsung Galaxy Ace yesterday, to be on a safer side I am using Screen Guard
Hey guys, I accidentally dropped my SGA and the screen cracked. It's not THAT bad, but since it has Gorilla Glass I want to know if it's repairable or what. Tomorrow, I'm going over my carrier's attention center to see if there's anything they can do about it. Any thoughts?
They can replace it. Oddly gorilla glass is really scratch resistant but super brittle.

Aw man, are you serious? I thought it was unbreakable or something. And here I was going to make some tests on mine. Lmao thanks for the heads up xD
Ha ha. I hope they do fix it. 'Cause if not, I'm gonna buy a new smartphone. It wouldn't be the SGA, it had to be better. Anyway, back to topic, it seems like Gorilla Glass is TEH BRITTLE when it comes to falls. Just visit the Dell Streak forums, lol.

I've just replaced that on mine, took about 30 mins and cost me £11
I also found this place:
http://www.tvc-mall.com/user/product.asp?skey=samsung+galaxy+ace&type=all&btn_search=
With a lot of items for the SGA, included the digitizer. So it's only the digitizer I will need?
I ordered digitiser, housing and screen (as mine had been run over by a car!!!) only the digitiser and housing needed replacing (only cos the camera lens had been scratched) screen was 100% perfect once I took the digitiser off. Have replied to your message, good luck

I'll definitely be getting a tempered glass screen protector and I want the opinions of anyone that has one. I thought I was going to be limited to spegen until I found this one. ( http://www.armorz.com/en/product/Ga...Tempered-Glass-for-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-3/fm60 ) the rounded edges is a must, but from the videos I see it has armorz branding on the lower right part of the screen which kills it for me. Looks like a solid product otherwise. What are my other optons? Is it just spigen and this one?
I'd be shocked if that branding was actually present on the protector. Seems more like a web site watermark to protect the images. In any case I'd contact the company before purchasing just to be certain.

Yes, I did see the other thread and gained a good bit of knowledge from it. However not wanting my post to be lost in the many off topic sea of replies I decided to repost and ask a specific question and maybe get a more direct answer.
I'm looking for tempered glass for the Galaxy Note 3. To make sure my new phone won't get screen crack. Anyone has a list sorted by the hardness / thickness?
Thanks

I bought the $8 dollar ones, and they do come with jelly buttons however the buttons were hideous. Don't bother using them or order aluminum ones from spigen or mime
I have used both the Bodyguardz $35 and the EBay $8 tempered glass screen protector and there isn't much of a difference between them.
Don't waste your money. You will be happy with the $8 one.

i'm sure a little searching won't do any harm, just search for tempered glass and you get a long list.
I got a few from china for less than USD 3.
I'm surprised to see that the cheap tempered glass screen protectors found on eBay are OK.
And I'm happy, too. I'll probably just order something like this:

apparently these protectors were selling at double or tripled the price about 4-5 months ago, and they were hard to find, even in china, suddenly they started to flood the china market, my last visit to china last month i've seen over 40-50 brands, it seems like they are package rebadged, so even if they have a different package the protectors are the same, but i'm not saying that there is only one variation of the protectors all rebadged.
I was told there are fake ones available, but they are still glass.
I have one called the m glass and gold tempered glass, bother very thin and original.
