    Default Gorilla Glass for Evo 3D?

    Does anyone know? Gorilla Glass is amazing on my Epic. No need for screen protectors at all.

    It's not gorilla glass from Corning, but it is very similar.

    I have an Evo 4G and never used a screen protector on mine either. So far I don't have a single scratch on the screen and I use my phone a lot. To me, all screen protectors do is make the screen feel and look funny, and, in the event of catastrophic screen failure secondary to the screen being hit by some sort of object, it will probably keep all the little pieces together.

    Not sure what they will use on the Evo 3d, but if the screen is at least like my current one, I'd be happy.

    HTC has never acknowledged if they use Gorilla Glass or not.

    The digitizer is not part of the glass. Gorilla Glass is good for scratch resistance. Yes it's harder but it's not unbreakable.

    Wow that is odd because if you replace the Digitalizer you are replacing that entire outer sheet of glass it is all one unit on the Aria.

    Well there is some good news here for HTC owners. Given the amount of products they have put GG on, it's likely they will continue to do so, so you should expect a similar experience on phones in the near future. That's great if your screen has done well by you like my Evo has done for me, and that's one more check on the the Evo 3D

    Something isnt right with that list, im pretty sure that the G1 and LG ally dont have gorilla glass. If the device has gorilla glass, youd think the manufacturer would advertise the hell out of it having gorilla glass. I wonder why they dont.
    Some say the glass is half empty. Some say its half full. I say, "Are you going to drink that?"

    No need for a screen protector on an EVO. We can only assume that the EVO 3D is just as good.

    So I pulled my phone out of my pocket this morning to find a tiny scratch. I had the OG Evo 4G and never had a scratch without screen protector. Lame.

    The OG Evo had GG, but the Evo 3D does not have Gorilla Glass. It uses HTC's home made screens that are supposedly scratch proof.

    Seido is putting out rugged cases with a kickstand combo. Pretty sweet they are up on their website, but it just says coming soon!

    I had a screen protector on my OG Evo, pulled it off after six months, and within a week there was a scratch--and I baby my devices. A scratch-proof OG Evo was definitely not my experience.

    I got a case with a kickstand from Best Buy. The case is nice but the kickstand is flimsy.

    Phones kept in pocket should be carried alone. Me? I'll be rocking a spring clip holster soon to avoid any possible scratches.

    yup same here. I never really use screen protector, after I had the original droid, I learned a lesson. Never ever put anything else in the same pocket as your phone. You can have gorilla glass times 4 and it will still scratch if you throw keys or other things in with the phone. I keep my phone separate and never get a scratch.

    The strange thing about it is that nothing else was in that pocket. I always carry my phone in my back left pocket and never put anything else in it. The only conclusion I can form is that the button on the back of my slacks got it, but it's a rounded button. I don't know. It's small enough not to be a huge deal, but I'm definitely gonna have to be uber-careful.
