now now, i've been in this thread since v5 and i tell you many ppl have had their screen scratched

same case with casing too
yes, corning gorilla glass is hard to scratch, but not scratch proof, the hardest material to scratch is diamond, which is why its used as a drill bit. btw hard to scratch doesnt mean it cant be broken. remember previous science lession, harder to scratch = harder = less ductile = brittle = easier to break
let me put some facts straight since i've actually studied geology here...
first we have the Moh's Scale(you can wiki it)
based on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorilla_Glass , gorilla class is at approximately 9 in moh's scale.
so
ANYTHING MORE THAN 9 WILL SCRATCH ITso here's an
example of minerals more than 9
9-9.5 corundum, silicon carbide (carborundum), tungsten carbide, titanium carbide, stishovite
9.5–10 rhenium diboride, tantalum carbide, titanium diboride, boron nitride, boron.
10 diamond
>10 nanocrystalline diamond (hyperdiamond, ultrahard fullerite)
sure its harder than glass, and most of of the common metals, but do you know what are the sands made of? you'll regret it if your screen start getting microscratches

http://www.corning.com/docs/specialtymater...eets/PI2317.pdfget a good screen protector la, you wanna be cheapskate buy proton but expect ferrari
Great information, thanks.
Maybe I am good care person, scratch is not an issue for me. The only scratch I notice is that plastic button in middle, due to my gatal hand peel of the plastic. Maybe I am a type can't stand on any sticker / protector on anythings, I will peel off in 1st time touching anything that got sticker / protector on it. I too hate on those sticker / protector. Damn hate. haha!

Have you get any micro scratch on your phone?
Added on March 21, 2012, 12:24 pmYeah, that's what I thought. My screen look worse compare to my brother's Samsung W

Nope, another thing is I do use SG II pouch, and I use glasses clothes to wipe when dusty / thumb print.
