Will TB have Gorilla Glass?

[moosez3]

It's called murphy's law, get a screen protector since it is a lot cheaper than getting the display replaced.

^This... seriously... some people are just stupid... they spend $200+(+) on a phone and then cheap out on a $5 screen protector... really?? besides some of the protectors (SGP Crystal) make the screen look better (clearer, more contrast) than bare class. I work with horses in a sand-filled arena and will tell you sand WILL destroy ANY type of glass, including these people's precious 'Gorilla' Glass... it's nothing more than a marketing scheme...

I have never used a screen protector that I liked the feel of, thats why I dont use them...

Yeah, I have to thank the marketing team too. I used keys to try and scratch my OG Droid glass. They did nothing. IMO, screen protectors are a scam.

Glass is a very hard material.

Yeah when I first got my Droid I used a screen protector, but dust started to collect in the corner so I took it off. Best decision I made as the glass on the Droid is super resistant to scratches and I don't have a single one on mine.

I absolutely hate screen protectors, they annoy me.

With that said, dont use them.....carry my phone bare in my pocket, have been for years (through different phones) and have never ever had a scratch....ever. I do however take care of my stuff.

PS- And Im not paying $5 or $10 up to $20 for what is seriously 5 cents worth of plastic.

I dont use one on my Droid 1. If its the same glass as the Droid 1, I wont be using one on the TB either.

I don't have a screen protector on mine and I have dropped it 4-5 times, no scratches and no shattering (thank goodness!!!). I have had friends who shattered their phone screens (iphone) and had to have it replaced. I just hope that doesn't happen to me!!

So that is why I couldn't use a banana to lure the Thunderbolt over to me.....

Actually I emailed HTC on this and no it's not Gorilla Glass.

That's great!!! My d1 with gorilla glass lasted from its own release day to the tbolts release day naked and without a scratch. I had assumed based on previous speculation that the tbolts did not have gorilla glass and have been using a screen protector. Problem is I HATE screen protectors. Good to know I can get rid of it.
