    It's on the corning website as one of the phones that have gorilla glass. It does say it protects against small scrapes. Like I said it's very minute but it's noticeable. I'm just glad it doesn't crack as easily as that iphone drop test. I will be zagging my next phone that's for sure.

    Am I the only one that thinks Zagg screen protectors are downright horrible, and make the screen look greasy?

    they're pretty bad, a best buy moron put it on for me "oh those will go away after 48 hours" (convenient excuse eh?)... then i got some really cheap ones per the recommendation of xda nexus s forums... and its so much better

    zagg screen protector will protect your screen, yes, but it feels like orange peel and your fingers won't glide across the screen easily (swype)

    I was going to buy a screen protector for my GSII when I first bought it, then I soon discovered that it was totally unnecessary. I did get a TPU back cover case though. Adds extremely little to the size of the phone and is all the protection it needs from any scratches.

    Motorola's skin "blur" totally ruins android.

    They are both pretty even, imo. Hard to go wrong with either one really.

    Galaxy has the advantage if you want the bigger screen, obviously. iPhone's display is still amazingly sharp and clear.

    It is very fast, though the 4S still tests as a faster browser.

    Agreed, really liked the Galaxy's exchange features. Most Android email clients really are pretty lackluster.

    4S can thankfully now wireless sync as well.

    Siri appears to still be more advanced as a voice control application.

    IIRC the 4S also does 1080p video.

    I think the navigation figures are a big win for the Galaxy side, for sure. Customization a little less so if you jailbreak. Either way they both have their plus and minuses, but you're getting a great phone regardless.
