Corning: Gorilla Glass is Not on the Galaxy Nexus
Twitter - Corning's Post
So what does this mean for the Nexus Screen?For all who have asked, just confirmed @Corning Gorilla® Glass is not on the new Galaxy Nexus. For further details please contact Samsung.
Does this change your position on getting the GNex at all?

If you always seem to have drama in your life, you are probably the one causing the drama.
If customer service representatives or restaurant servers always seem to be rude to you, you are probably the one being rude.
If your computer always seems to be freezing up on you, you're probably doing something wrong.
In my experience, drama begets drama, rudeness begets rudeness, and ineptitude begets ineptitude. -

10-25-2011 08:46 AMWhy doesn't it? Screen size or something? If TVs can have it I don't know why this can't. Seems like a no brainer.

10-25-2011 09:13 AMBecause of the curve maybe? Last year's Nexus S didn't have it either. Maybe the strength is compromised because of the curve. I was under the impression that Corning could make gorilla glass for just about anything. Oh well.

10-25-2011 10:07 AMI didn't know that. I have always wondered how my X2 survived two pretty substantial drops the first week I had it. Drops of about 4 feet directly on granite floor. I inadvertently sent the second drop up higher for some hang time and gravitational pull reaching out to grab it and failing Originally Posted by Mustang02
Until I put a case on it I simply couldn't keep hold of it while playing because its pretty darn thin naked. I really like the RAZR but yeesh that thing would spend more time on the floor unless I put a case on it defeating the purpose of it being so thin.Last edited by Heywood; 10-25-2011 at 11:07 AM.

10-25-2011 10:18 AMThe same reason it doesn't come with 128 gb internal memory, a 1080p 3d screen, and depleted uranium coating....... COST Originally Posted by tjk629

10-25-2011 11:46 AMI read this last week from Samsungs FB page and I was a little surprised, but they also mentioned they're using another form of "reinforced glass".
I'm sure there are other companies pumping out similar strong glass, it's just that Gorilla glass has become a catchy name everyone's aware of.
I always use Seidio screen protectors, so I'm not too concerned.
As for the reason, I don't think it's because of the curve because apparently the HTC Sensation has a curved screen with Gorilla Glass, so it seems like a mystery why Samsung wouldn't go with what's hot, but maybe it was the price, who knows.
