I'll tell you after I sell my extras. LOL I'm not going into the sensor sales business. Just trying to come out whole because I had to buy multiple ones.

 

[jfunk]

just curious, where'd you get the replacement screens? i haven't been able to find any...

Here's a place.

I know nothing about it, never used them or anything.

HTC Droid Incredible

There are also a few for sale in ebay. Those places are charging twice as much, but will sell a single unit.

I called the 1st day I had the Incredible (the day it was released) and HTC told me that it was untreated normal run of the mill glass and they recommended a screen protector

On the other hand, I have seen the gorilla glass propaganda video and it is miss leading considering both my Droid and my buddy's girls Droid are scratched. I used a screen protector on the Moto droid, saw the video, stopped using the protector and it got scratched in less than 2 week

Considering there are already multiple people with scratched screens, I would put a ton of money on it NOT being Gorilla Glass.

If any of you are familiar with Cowon, makers of the best MP3 players ever, they use Gorilla Glass on their players. I never had a screen protector on any of my Cowon's. I had a Cowon S9 for over a year and that thing NEVER had any scratches whatsoever with normal use. Not even a tiny scratch. Nothing, nada.

Now for the past month or so, I have their new MP3 player the J3. Same thing, no scratches at all. In short, I've never had any type of scratch on a Cowon MP3 player with Gorilla Glass.

So I highly, highly doubt the Incredible has Gorilla Glass.

I have the S9 and am in the same boat, it almost cannot be scratched. No screen protector and I beat the crap out of it, and it's still perfect.

The incredible is nowhere near the same gorilla glass as the S9, if it is even gorilla glass at all. I already have a tiny scratch on mine from the first few days of use without a protector.

Apologize to revive this old thread, but yes, it is easily scratched. Can't believe this!

 

[sabrewings]

I just keep mine in a felt pouch. Had it a month and a half with no screen protector and no scratches. *knock on wood*

 

[ttamnedlog]

Nearly three months now, and no scratches at all. No protection. I dont know how you people manage to scratch your stuff.

+1 yeah I have a new 3 third phone on the way so I will have new screen for a while lol

Why aren't you guys running screen protectors?

 

[adrynalyne]

I've never used one, dropped my DI on its face twice, and have yet to get so much as a hairline scratch.

 

[dB Zac]

Well you are living on the edge, you dare devil.

 

[adrynalyne]

Same thing with my Moto Droid.

The real key to keeping a glass screen unscratched is to beware of sand, dirt with sand in it, diamonds, and to be safe, don't put anything with it that is harder than plastic.

I'm a big fan of Ghost Armor. I have it on both my inc & my ipad.
peace of mind is great. only negative is the car mount is starting to peel off the edge of the ghost armor on the edge of the phone.

I was but it interfered with my case. So i figured scratched>shattered screen.

 

[droideris]

I think that WizeGuyDezignz is careful with his electronics. Some are not careful at all, and even Gorilla Glass can be scratched by something harder, say diamonds. A wedding ring and a DROID in the same pocket would be bad. I have never scratched any glass electronics (a couple of shallow scratches on my Eris, which is a plastic polymer, and my Sansa Fuze is pretty scratched up from a quarter in the same pocket, but it's really weak plastic) but some people actually need their screen protectors and cases.

I've got one more OEM sensor in case anyone is interested. Has the HTC logo, not VZW.

I've had mine for 2 months without a protector and have treated it with kid gloves. It hasn't been near anything that might scratch it and yet it still got scratched somehow. The scratch is extremely tiny and you can't see it without looking really hard with the screen off. I put a zagg on it yesterday to prevent any further damage.

I have a DROID 2 and I dropped a pool cue on my screen and a cue ball from about 4 feet on my screen and it seems indestructible I LOVE GORILLA GLASS and ANDROID!!!

My fiancee dropped her phone from our upstairs tonight. She has the Fascinate. We are talking easily a 15 foot drop. His a chair before the floor. Case came off as did back door. However, phone was still on and screen in one piece. Pretty amazed.

I dropped my Incredible the other day from about 3-4ft and it hit on the glass side against a corner wood piece under the desk here at work. The plastic around the screen scratched but the screen is perfect.

On the other hand, I put my keys in my pocket not too long ago and it gave my screen a little scratch. Have a protector on it now...
