For everybody's information, whilst the trademark "Gorilla Glass" is not mentioned in Nokia literature concerning the C7-00, the glass used is exactly the same material.
Gorilla glass is a trademark owned by "corning".

NOKIA X7 gorilla glass got SCRATCHED ! and dust co...

PLS tell me what can I do with my phone. used for barely 2 months and this ! How disappointing ! and i never dropped it at all ! in my pocket most of the time but the screen has got 4 scratches ! and there is like a pile of dust collected on the right side of the screen ! Asked Nokia Care Centre in Malaysia and they want to charge me RM50 just to clean the screen ! This is ridiculous !

i see.. yeah same here.. I definitely thought the culprit was my car key lol ! but i never expected it to get scratched so easily in fact gorilla glass are so suppose to be scratch resistence.. i have a samsung galaxy s2 which has gorilla glass too.. never had a single scratch together with my nokia x7 in my pocket.. funny how my S2 is out with me more often than my X7 and I've been using my S2 for more than 6 months.. Nokia has issues with their products :/ my previous phone was a nokia N86 which also had the same dust problem !
Oh btw ! u can try cleaning your phone yourself once in awhile.. here's a video to guide u !

Nokia Lumia 820 Glass Smashed No Gorilla Glass

I bought this phone, only received it a few days ago and today its broken, i dropped the phone once and the whole glass is smashed now.
Was quite disapointed about this because i was under the imprssion that it had gorilla glass only to find the glass gets smahshed when dropped from a low level around knee level. Its also disapointed as i was an owner of Lumia 900 which had gorilla glass which i had dropped a few times since i had it and it never got a crack or anything. Very disapointed with Nokia as i went for the 820 because of the changable covers and the SD card and slightly smaller size. If i had known about no gorilla glass i'd never have got the phone, what a waste of money, i recommend not buying this phone as the screen broke way too easy.
What i'd like to know is how much do new screens cost for this phone, and i mean genuine ones from Nokia? or would i need to go to a care point? or are they available online somewhere on Nokia's website?
thanks

Well I come home and opened my door on Friday night and my 820 Lumia drop from about knee height, put it on charger when got inside next morning went to get phone not working I found it had cracked Screen. Ok was the drop last night. So here I am with a $658 product from Nokia that's been made with little thought for the consumer. A phone that cracks the glass from a minor drop. The glass goes right to the edge of the phone, the phone is as heavy as a house brick.
I have taken it to be repaired it will be ready in 3 days at a grand cost of $180.00... I need my phone going thats why I brought it. Nokia Don't Care is a good Slogan, I took the phone back to Harvey Norman they didn't care, just advised me take it to a phone repairer in Penrith to get it fixed faster. Let's see what happens.
I will send Nokia a Bill for the repair because of the way they have designed this machine it is not fair to the consumer to have to have a weak machine like this. And I wished it would have happened within 21 Days I would have took it back to Harvey Norman, under consumer law you can not sell defected machines like this to people. Glass screens breaking so easly is not accpetable. It's daylight robbery, there working like crooks. I am in the right mind to take it all back to Harvey Norman and let them have the Phone and Optus Account as I only had it three months.
I should ring the Police. If some one steals something valuable they can goto goal. If a company like nokia robs you because of faulty products they just ignore our complaints.
I am really cranky withnokia because of the Screen on this phone

Is NOKIA MOBILES HAVING ORIGINAL GORILLA GLASS?

HI , I bought NOKIA LUMIA 720 four months back it got a touch screen issue . I submitted it to nokia care where it took 1month for getting back. It was returned in a good condition than i expected . But recently by mistake i dropped my mobile while walking and the screen was broken into more pieces compared to a normal glass. Now i doubt the strength or gorilla glass..... and have a bit doubt that some misplacement happened when i gave my mobile in care................

gorilla glass is more scratch resistant compared to normal glasses, that's all...
CAN I BREAK GORILLA GLASS?
If subjected to enough abuse, Gorilla Glass can break. However, Gorilla Glass is better able to survive the real-world events that most commonly cause glass to scratch, chip, or break. (taken from: http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/faqs)

Nokia, how it is possible you used Gorilla Glass in Lumia 720, but higher model - Lumia 820 does not have it???
Is this joke???
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Maybe check first what is under "Contact Us" link on Nokia support site????
1. Facebook link - I do not use
2. Twitter link - I do not use
3. Link to this forum. So I came here directly from nokia support link on Nokia.com under support for lumia 820
Did YOU read guidelines from link you posted??? I see not!
So couple of quotes:
"Here you can discuss Nokia products and Ovi services" - I wanted to discuss product, so this is correct forum!!! Was I expecting my screen will be replaced for gorilla??? No! Just wanted to discuss!!!
For sure you did not see this point:
"4. Show respect. Please ensure that all of your posts contribute to the supportive atmosphere of the board. "Flaming" or disrespecting other board users is not allowed. For more specific information on what Nokia considers disrespectful or inappropriate, see below. "
You wrote @simply because the 820 is not associated with a 'gorilla' does not make it inferior to lower models@ - IT DOES. Gorilla is known as scratch resistant, tough glass. This place these screens much higher than others.
Now, show me any OFFICIAL nokia statement that glass used in Lumia 820 is scratch resistant or is anyhow more resistant for damages than any other glass??? Somehow I cannot find official statement. So all other statements are rumours only.
This is link to official Lumia 820 spec:
http://www.nokia.com/ie-en/products/phone/lumia820/specifications/
, somehow I do not see any statement that screen has improved resistance.
"The forum team includes technical experts from Nokia, who monitor their respective areas on the forum. Their main task is to make sure that the right people at Nokia know what is discussed here, but they may also participate in the discussions and publish information from Nokia about the issues discussed here. They are labelled as "Technical Experts" and bear a Nokia logo."
So not only user-to-user but also user-to-nokia experts that are able to place official statements and explanations!!!
You should watch your mouth before placing these kind of statements @another whiner. having limited knowledge can be a bad thing. having no knowledge at all can be embarrassing.@.
Pretending you are smart doesn't make you smart at all. It is only your imagination.

N9 Gorilla Glass - bad quality?

I have my N9 for more than a week now and I can see very small scratches on the gorilla glass. I use the phone with great care and never put it face down somewhere. I also have it in a pocket separated from other things such as keys or coins. I'm really disappointed about the quality because I have other Nokia devices with gorilla glass for more than a year and they don't have one single scratch. And I used them a lot and the same way I use the N9 now. I think the N9 gorilla glass is of very bad quality. Anyone else seeing like small spots and scratches on the N9?

Nope, not on mine. I got a few scratches on the display of E7, which I didn't know where come from. Could be grains of sand in my pocket or something like that.
If you think that your screen suffers from a fault, visit a Nokia care point and tell them about it, if you're lucky they might replace the screen, but gorilla glass can get scratches too, like any other screens. So most likely there aren't anything you can do other tha protect it even more carefully.

Lumia 800 - Gorilla Glass

Hai,
I've been going through specs on several sites and cannot confirm if the Lumia 800 which technically uses same body as the N9 has the shiny Gorilla Glass?
No NFC, uSD, Front Facing Camera (or 3G video calling to say), HDMI, USB on the go like the N8 (my current phone) are still ok not a huge deal breaker imo as the Lumia 800 still looks awesome and has WP7 which I have been waiting for a proper hardware manufacturer to make one so far to actually get one.
But Gorilla Glass is one important aspect for me due to the extended nature of the display which will indeed make it prone to all those unwanted daily usage scratches.

Not to get too off topic here, but I wouldn't call Symbian Anna a huge step forward (or even a major update) and Belle has been "coming" since I bought the **bleep** phone. It took more months than expected for PR 1.1 to be released, and 1.2 took what seemed like an eon and included mostly minimal performance/functionality tweaks and almost no UI changes (except for turning off my auto-text-finder in messaging as default for some stupid reason). It was, in all respects, more of a disappointment than the saviour update I was expecting (new browser, stability fixes, faster camera, updated music player, refreshed UI). And as for Nokia Labs - yes, they write some great applications. Its a shame that the app store isn't full of the same great application (or ANY for that matter). I think the best app I managed to buy was the JoikuSpot tethering software (which should've been a free app that was built into the phone ecosystem), and that's just sad.
Don't get me wrong, the N8 is the best phone I've ever used and will go down alongside the N96 as one of my favourite nokias ever made, but it will always be tied to the memory that "hey, this could've been 10 times better and 10 times more successful". I remember promises about the N96's networked gaming, though I don't remember any actually decent games being released, ever.
I want to also point out that whilst the N8 is the best phone I've used, the other phones that I've used are all just above average (iPhone 3/4/S, Galaxy S2, Desire, Galaxy, Storm, Bold) and are nothing special in any of their own rights. Sure, they're relatively better than most other phones, and some have this nifty feature or that nifty feature, but no single phone (except perhaps the 4/4S) is actually a solid release, and most other phones are sh** anyway so who cares if those phones are better. Better than what? **bleep**? The technology still has growing pains, and it won't be until Nokia release a 4G N-series phone with WP8, Skydrive, 32gb SSD, 1gb RAM, 1.6ghz single/double chip w/ 10 mpx CZ camera & 1080p recording that STILL retains a full day/two days battery life and interfaces directly with the files on my home Windows 8 PC that the market will be, in my opinion, mature and ready to take hold of the consumer's attention again. Unfortunately, there's this mindset that the "consumer" is an idiot and needs to be told what they want, and heaven forbid if they voice any ideas for improvement - "you don't know better than us!"
Back to the Lumia 800 - again, I totally understand from a business perspective why this phone is being released and marketed, I do, and it will make some money and will effectively reposition that imaginary thing called "public opinion" (ie: the media). What it won't do is get everybody talking about Nokia's new line of Windows phones for longer than a few weeks. You guys had a major opportunity (basically free advertising with the excitement around WP7 + Nokia) to completely revolutionize the tech industry's image of your products by releasing a truly different and solid WP7 phone. Instead you released a gutted N9. Nice.
My apologies if I'm ranting (and I think I may be) - I'm just passionate about Nokia's product offering and find it extremely frustrating that such a large and experienced company keeps making the same mistakes over and over again (alienating their long-term supporters in the process). Grow up, you've been in the business a while now!

Does the Lumina 820 have Gorilla Glass or equivale...

I am really liking the new Lumina 820 and it sounds like it could be one of the best new phones for the money. One issue is in the specs it does not state it has Gorilla Glass. Maybe that is an omission (the 800 has it) or maybe an equivalent "tough" glass is used? If not this would be a deal breaker as I am not wiling to go back to using stone age screen protectors!
Thanks, Mike

Gorilla Glass is worthless

My Lumia 920 is a month old. It fell out of my coat pocket just 2 feet off the ground and shattered the glass. I had a Samsung Captivate with Gorilla Glass for two years. It probably fell to the ground 30 times and never even scratched. I saw the videos online of the guy running over the 920 with his car, batting it with a 2x4, dropping it multiple times from various heights, and even bashing it with a hammer. I think mine was defective. AT&T and Nokia say - too bad so sad. Got quotes of $130 - $300 to repair. I will try the $130 first.

I had my Nokia 928 less than a month after switching from a HTC phone, and it slipped from my hand and hit the ground on the bottom right hand corner. The screen immediately cracked halfway up the display and a piece of the screen was lost. I was understandably dismayed that the "unbreakable" gorilla glass had shattered so easily after my HTC withstood 10 times more impact than that during the 2 years that I used it. The screen still worked, so I continued to use it while I decided whether or not it was worth paying $100 in addition to the monthly insuance fee to replace it. I literally sat it down on my desk at work, and the screen cracked all the way up. I might mention that the actual casing of the phone never sustained a scratch, crack, or damage of any kind. Only the gorllia glass. What does that tell you??
I am sure that I will NEVER buy a Nokia again, and I will not replace my Nokia, but instead go back to my HTC that worked flawlessly for two years. Never again.

Nokia C7 Gorilla Class?

Does Nokia c7 have Gorilla Glass-screen? And is screen protector needed? I have googled this many times today, and I get differend answers. Some people say that Nokia C7 has Gorilla Glass and others say no.
If someone from Nokia could please say the correct answer, thanks.

Usually glass displays are quite resistant to scratches even if it does not have "gorilla glass" written all over it. However, you should be carefull having the phone in the same pocket as your house and car keys as some pressure might give it a few minor scratches.
As I mentioned in my previous post, I have a Htc desire with the cheaper Super LCD display. It's not gorilaa glass, but it has served me well. I don't use any screen protector on it, and have no visible scratches what so ever. Still after several months.
However, screen protectors are often quite cheap and can be switched easily if they get scratches.
Invisible shield is a protector which can be a bit hard to apply and cost a bit more than regular ones, but my experience is that if you manage to apply this one perfect on the screen, it is absolutely amazing. The display will feel a bit rubbery and not as smooth as without the invisible shield, but when I have used those on my previous Iphones and Samsung galaxy, I have really comed to like that it has a certain "grip" to it. It prevents the phone from slipping out of your hand.
Don't be scared of buying the C7 if the only concern is that it hasn't the gorilla glass. If you treat it well, it will serve you good without a scree protector. If you are a bit afraid of dropping it etc, buy a case and a cheap screen protector and see if works for you. Applying a thin screen protector usually does very little to the screen sensitivity and will work totally fine!
That's my humble opinion.

Is there a gorilla glass 2 on macbook pro retina display?

hi there,
like a month ago i bought a Macbook pro Retina, and I have been asking myself or there is a gorilla glass 2 on macbook pro retina display?
cheers,
Joseph

The plastic of the LCD is surprising tough, there is no reason to coddle it. It resists touching and hand grease very well. Light abrasion is not a problem. Avoid using solvent based cleaners such as alcohol as they will attack the surface if not wiped off immediately.
Remember the life expectancy of these machines is something like 8 years, by then it should be 100% depreciated. Use it up, wear it out.

Is iPad Mini with Retina display screen a gorilla glass?

Is iPad Mini with Retina display screen a gorilla glass?

No it's definitely not gorilla glass... I don't know if it's even hardened glass. My iPad Mini's screen broke the other day with the slightest bump. When I submitted it to Apple to be fixed (I assumed it was weakened in production or something) they said it would cost $225 to replace it. So yeah, be very very very careful with your iPads... don't let your kids touch them or anything (buy them Kindle Fires). I'm going to attempt to fix my iPad Mini's screen myself (lest I cut myself). If that doesn't work I guess I'll have to move on to Android tablets with gorilla glass...

How durable is Gorilla Glass and do I even have Gorilla Glass on my I Phone 4?

Can I get away without using a screen protector? I currently have an Invisa Sheild screen protector on my I phone. Can I remove it and not have to worry about scratching the screen?

Apple has never stated, as far as I know, that the glass used in iPhones is Gorilla Glass (a trademark of Corning). It is, nonetheless, quite durable.
