The Galaxy S uses Gorilla Glass
It was just announced today by Corning Inc. they have indeed supplied Samsung with Gorilla Glass for use in their Galaxy S line of devices. Gorilla Glass is a quasi-indestructible chemically treated glass being used on everything from TVs and laptops, to smartphones. The ultra pristine display coverings (not the actual S-AMOLED) feature high compressive stress, a deep compression layer, and a refractive index of 633 nm.
So what does this mean for you Galaxy S users? As far as damaging your screen goes, you’d most likely have to be trying to actually do so. Of course you shouldn’t probably do that, but none the less, I’d take comfort knowing Gorilla Glass is providing that extra level of security. Has anyone damaged the front of their Galaxy S Series device? Let us know in the comments. If you’re bored, check out the scratch test PR video below.

I regret 100% to buy the galaxy s.... the gps is now working properly (the fix will be realese in 15 days) and I dropped it about 10 cms (1/3 of feet) from the ground and the glass is shattered.... I will never pay that much for a phone.... "Gorilla Glass is a quasi-indestructible chemically" hahahahahahahahahahaha!!
