I don't know if it's GG but if you look real close at the LED's you will see some type of screen protector film.

The LEDs are separate from the camera cover/lens.

Confirmed with HTC, no GG.

Its only gorilla glass on the screen.
There is no Gorilla Glass anywhere on the EVO 3D. HTC has confirmed it several times with many of us.

My cousin dropped his off his lap while gettin out his car, not even 2feet off the ground. I thought we had gorilla glass. Didn't take much for the first drop to break.

I don't get why people complain. Gorilla glass does not mean indestructable. If you drop you phone on concrete and it lands a certain way it may break. Stop dropping your phone is the best solution imo.

Our phone doesn't have gorilla glass
That's why I bought an Otterbox the exact same time I got the phone so I know I could **** it up if I did even tho I rather have a ballistics hard core case

the more scratch resistant something is (gorilla glass) the more brittle it is (easier to crack).

Nope.
1) There's no direct correlation between brittle and hard. An advanced material, like Gorilla Glass, *may* be harder and less brittle at the same time compared to regular glass.
2) If I remember correctly, all Gorilla Glass demonstrations of the past involved smashing a small piece with a hammer. Gorilla Glass is definitely less brittle than regular glass.
Again, we do not have gorilla glass

Meanwhile, the weight and size are unusual in part because of its large multi-touch screen with a size reaches 4.3 inches diagonally and getting the same HTC Sensation resolution (540 x 960 pixels). This display is for displaying images in three dimensions without requiring the user to buy special glasses separately, in addition to the glass used is Gorilla Glass, a material highly resistant to both scratches and bump

Why would you state that?
Do you really think after the EVO 4g and EVO Shift they would just stop using gorilla glass on the EVO line?

Just because a device has gorilla glass (not saying the 3vo has it) doesn't mean its shatter proof....

+1 no one said it was gorilla glass. What I read was it is HTC version of a gorilla type of glass, but not "gorilla glass".

If it only dropped 2ft. How on earth are there 3 impact spots on the screen? Did you drop it on a bed of spikes?
I call bull****, I think you hit it a few times with something. It doesn't look right for a single drip from 2ft.

Glass would be brittle. It is just the nature of ceramic materials.
In this test you talking about. Was the glass suspended by two support point with the impact load being in the middle? Or was the middle slowly being pushed down?
these mobile glass test should be done horizontally normal to a side or corner. to imitate a fall. A normal load from the surface test is for test people punching their phones or a stressful push.
Would anyone here know the density of our screen? Maybe it is the same as the corning glass but from a different manufacture.
is there a film over the glass and if not is there a way to get rid of the tiny spot?
What tiny spot?

then it's dust most likely. if you didn't buy your phone new or if it was a refurb, it could've happened when they were replacing the glass. another possibility is that your phone was dropped and it let in a spec of dust.
i'd recommend taking it to an at&t store and telling them.
I thought the screens on the EVO 3D were Gorilla glass. I have 3 scratches in mine. This sucks. I am scared to try replacing it myself. This will be my second HTC boot unlocked i've sent back. What do I do?
It is gorilla glass. But its still glass... I have a 2mm long scratch in the center from a grain of sand...

Thanks, and in regards to the OP, if you really don't feel comfortable replacing the screen then don't.. If you've done similar repairs then go for it. Otherwise you'll just have to tough it out or try to get another exchange.

Yup Gorilla front.
Have zero scratches on the front but a few very, very minor ones on the camera glass.
For me, I put that on top of the shatterproof sheet.

Correct. Its not a "shatter proof" sheet but a factory installed screen protector. There's an extra screen protector included on some markets.

Is that so? I heard that almost every Sony (Ericsson) device comes with the pre-applied shatter proof sheet and it takes some force to remove it. I might be wrong anyway.
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
So is it worth putting the included screen protector on top of the fitted one or is that just overkill?

No need, the one that is already applied is more than enough. Just keep it as a spare.
I dont think the screen responds as good if you put another on top
Ok thanks for the input on this, just going to stick with the factory fitted one

Got mine from O2, UK. All I had was a cloudy screen film with descriptions on. I had to remove it to see the screen properly and applied the provided screen protector, and have two irritating bubbles! Would be nicer if they were all fixed on from factory. Although looking back at it, it seems like there is another layer below that - visible on left side only mainly because the screen protector isn't in perfect alignment. Bottom layer seems like it's thin piece of glass rather that plastic.
Anyone has the same as me?
I put it onto the sheet, and it works quite fine. Double protection

Has anyone removed the factory fitted protector? I generally don't use protection (hurr) and think this one just attracts more muck than anything. I've never had a problem with scratching screens so I'm not convinced it's necessary in my case.
So if anyone has removed it, is it glass? Is it difficult to remove? Was it a terrible idea?

got mine from o2 too. if you look really carefully after removing the sheet with the pictures on it you will see that there is already a protector already applied.

I pulled it off, it is not glass. It is more difficult to remove than a standard protector.

I bought a pretty expensive martin fields screen protector because I'm very scared to damage the display or ruin the quality with a cheap dealextreme screen protector.
Do you suggest I use the pre applied screen protector until there are scratches on it, pull it off with force and apply the martin fields on the glass or do i put on the martin fields screen protector straight on the pre applied one?
i heard that the pre applied one is not designed to be taken off... so i'm not really sure
anyone know how to replace the evo 3d's rear camera glass? mine is pretty scuffed up and scratched and found a replacement part on ebay. and yes i have looked up the teardown videos on youtube but none explain how to take the old glass off. is it just glued on? would it just pop off? im trying to do this on my own if i can without taking it to the cell repair place. thanks.
You mean the glass that covers the lens? If so, i once took mine apart on my desire and that was kinda glued on so i'd only imagine its not too different here.
Yes the glass that covers the lens
