No glass is scratch proof. The glass on the X is scratch resistant. Not sure if it's even Gorilla glass on there or not, but I know that it can be scratched.

It is Gorilla Glass, and Gorilla Glass is not scratch proof. It's scratch resistant.
Sand will easily scratch the glass as sand has the same hardness level as glass (makes sense as glass is made from sand) or something like that.
Cover your screen is transparent diamond and then it's scratch proof

Please lets not start another.....does this have Gorilla glass thread.
It does, it's been confirmed. Pretty much no phone made now won't have it. Gorilla glass is Dow Cornings trade name for aluminosilicate glass.
It still scratches, and will still break. Just that it is more resistant than standard silicate glass.

That's why I cover my Gorilla. I am rough on my phone and if any product even claimed scratch proof, I would be able to scratch it.

Oh gees. These people that think anything is scratch-PROOF!??? I mean come on. And my watch is waterproof.
Well, actually it is impervious to water. I don't own a watch...

We the most scratch-proof item I have seen is a diamond that ran loose in the garbage disposal for 20 seconds and came out without a scratch.

These threads are always so confusing because half of the people say "I never used a screen protector and I dropped my phone out of a moving car and didn't get a single scratch!!" and then the other half say "I sneezed on my phone and now the screen has 100 scratches!!"
I was going to go without a screen protector on the Bionic when I get it, but my past 2 droids have been protected by Zagg Z-Shield. The Texture takes some getting used to but I've never had a scratch on my phone. I worry that I will scratch my bionic

No screen protector. Not a scratch. It's gonna take dropping it on a rock to scratch it and the way I see it, the screen protector isn't gonna do much in that scenario. Then again... it's all one big crap shoot.

Lol. Actually it came out in one piece! Wife was happy.

Well it has been proven this is not the case. Of the three X users I know 2 have scratches and they have never been dropped or abused in any way.

Spontaneous scratching. Is that anything like spontaneous combustion?
I have their Ultra Crystal and it's completely invisible.

Yes they are, but you can scratch these easily also.
I've had mine on for a year, and it hasn't scratched yet. And if it does, it comes two to a package so it would just be replaced.

Just out of sheer luck, try cleaning it with a good eyeglass cleaner. I had a fella come in my office and said he scratched his brand new glasses after getting into a spider web and freaking out, dropping the glasses on concrete. He brought them in and they sure looked mighty scratched(even to me...been doing this for 20+ years).
Since there was still some cobwebs visible on the frame, I decided to try cleaning them. Let me tell you, the cobweb strands stuck like super glue! I cleaned and cleaned on them and all the "scratches" came off. They were just cobweb strands. Craziest thing I've ever seen.
Maybe, just maybe.....
Doubtful, but you never know.

I use zagg invisible shield and it has held up great. I'm one of those idiots that forgets his phone is in his shirt pocket and the thing just keeps falling out everytime he bends over. My last incident, the shield got torn and rip halfway across the screen and I thought for sure that the screen was toast. Took the protector off and nothing. I'll keep using zagg invisible shield
