Re: We need to let OEMs and Corning know how bad Gorilla Glass 2
Could be possible, hard to tell, especially because each case is anecdotal. I've found people tend to lie, even when it helps them. "Oh it was just a slight drop", "there was nothing in my pocket".
There could be any number of factors, some sand or grit in the pocket, maybe they didn't remember when it was in there with keys, maybe while sitting down, there was too much pressure on the screen causing it to flex and rub, maybe there was dirt on their carpet, maybe they had small particles in their hands.
There are a number of possibilties. As for manufacturing, I'd still doubt it. Samsung has one of the world's largest production facilities in China and Korea. They churn out several thousand a day, all electronically, all to spec. Could there be an instance where it got scratched from manufacture to packaging? Sure.
Keep in mind, that workers packed your phones in boxes. You should always inspect it properly from day one. And then again, this may be "gorilla glass 2", but this is a new phone, with a new huge 305 ppi super amoled screen and is very thin. Maybe it's not as resistant as your old phones were depite Corning's claims of how good this is
I just hope anyone out there reading, gets at least those cheap 99 cent static cling protectors. Those will absorb 95% of the abuse at least. Maybe someone doesn't notice the contaminants on their car door handle, they open the door, sit down, quickly check phone before driving and in that time, what was on their hands, is now being "slid" across the screen.
lol Termy. do u believe my theory that theres maybe a bad batch of gg2 on certain s3s? i throw mine around and treat it as the tool that it is and i have zero scratches YET and if i get any then its my fault but it seems like others are getting scratches "unfairly"
