Nexus S front glass panel - is it scratch resistant?
Hello iFixit community,
Thank you to the great people who contributed to the Nexus S teardown. Does anyone know what type of glass is used on the front panel? Is it scratch resistant? Samsung has not published any information as to how to best protect the front glass and there is possible misinformation about it here whereby the author asserts that the Nexus S glass it not Gorilla Glass unlike the Galaxy S (apparently a close sibling to the Nexus S) and thus implies that it will be easily scratched and damaged (the Twitter post he points to that is allegedly from a Samsung employee corroborating this leads to a page that states "Sorry, that page doesn't exist" so the author's assertion is dubious. The Samsung user's guide for the Nexus S is rather sparse and there are no care instructions.

I read the same "not Gorilla glass" reporting. I've had my Nexus S for about two months and have not applied a protective film (although I have one standing by) and have seen no scratches on the glass at all yet. It may be that the curved glass, slight chin and softish plastic bumper case I have on it makes it almost impossible to scratch the screen with grit when laid face-down on a table; the screen is held aloft from the table.
