Gorilla Glass ? Or not?

[MiguelAMX]

i sent a tweet to boostcare asking if the design has gorilla glass. to my shock a rep sayed it has a plastic screen like the prevail. my prevail is pretty scratched up and becoming unresponsive sometimes. just wanted to throw a heads up before some of you buy.

Update: Well as many users pointed out. The screen is not plastic but of some other material. *sigh of relief*

I just looked it up in the reviews, and the screen is glass.
A lot of the time, the reps really know very little about the hardware of the phones they sell, unfortunately,

I have noticed the screen seems to get fingerprint smudges easier then the LG Marquee that I had before. The screen doesn't have the same feel to it as well. But I do know it definitely does not feel like the screen on the Prevail. I used to have the Prevail a while back and this screen is definitely not made of the same material.

The Design is not listed on Corning's site as being supplied with Gorilla glass. Whether it comes with standard glass or plastic, I don't know.

I don't know what it is, but I can give a little helpful hint. As soon as I got this phone, I went right to the mall and had "Ghost Armor" installed. I had it on my prevail and it didn't impede performance at all.
The best $20 you'll ever spend.

Thank you I guess I shouldnt trust them all the time then.

Good that is great to hear. Well I hope its scratch proof. My prevail is pretty beat up.

invest in a screen protector... you can get them as low as $2. on amazon:thumb:

 

[k3isha87]

ebay has screen protectors for reasonable prices also

 

[damewolf13]

Yes, it is best to put some kind of screen protector on the screen.
Even Gorilla Glass is not scratch proof, only scratch resistant.

You can still have a plastic screen with capacitive touch, it's fiber glass. Plastic woven with glass fibers. Also the phone has been available for over a year, I'm sure that it would have made it to Corning's site by now if it was equipped with Gorrilla glass.

I'm still a big fan of Invisible Shield - Gorilla Glass or not.

For the frugal, I constantly see clearance Invisible Shield kits at places like Marshall's and TJ Maxx. I buy one or two kits for a random 7"-9" tablet and then meticulously (and painstakingly) cut them to fit the phone. With calipers for precise measurement, a sharp XActo knife, and some round objects like coins, etc to trace out rounded edges for the corners, I end up with a flawless Invisible Shield for around $3-$4 rather than $25, with TONS of material left over to do more! :thumbup:

Just got my Evo Design 4G about an hour ago and loving it so far. Need to get offline (after I root) and make my screen protector!
