Gorilla Glass : Finding Out The Dangerous Way

“Ainol Novo: Ainol Novo 7 Flame use Chimei Innolux IPS screen gorilla glass with 1280*800 resolution, better than LG IPS Screen.”

I don’t know how we would find out if our Fire has gorilla glass. But, I just experienced dropping my Fire about 2 feet high into a tiled and cemented floor. It dropped face down. I had to say a little prayer before finally picking it up.

But alas! the screen is still intact, no damage at all, and the device is still functioning normally.

Sorry, but I don’t have enough courage to poke the screen with some keys or pound it with a hammer. hehe

I guess that’s confirmation enough that our Ainol Fire and Flame uses gorilla glass!!!
