Motorola Droid A855 Key Screen Scratch Test

[bromaier]

my OG Droid's screen is scratched. So was my last OG Droid before it got stolen. And the one before that that broke. So, yes, I feel that pounding a key against a screen is slightly different than dragging one across it.

[LyzerDB]

but will it blend?

[damascuse98]

fake



[shox353]

I hate it when I accedentaly key my phone

[ExnusRogue]

How there are so many ignorant comments I cant even begin to fathom.....oh wait people think JB makes good music yes i can -_- the fact hes hitting a key against the screen is showing how well it is made. It goes beyond what a normal phone really endures, some change in your pocket with a set of keys brushing against it in normal everyday life....if your phone regularly gets hit more than what this guy just showed...stop using your phone as a construction tool...

[piter239]

I DON'T BELIEVE IT.

I think you are NOT touching the phone with the key, you just pretend to do so.

Otherwise why would you film this from behind your hand?

Nice trick :)

[dimitriosfl]

Thank god crazy people like you exist to do these tests! :D

[chabury1]

Bunch. Of pussys

[cesarox1]

Only my gorilla glass got very tiny scratches??

[wishnu03]

waaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwww this real ??? my phone was sending from US to indonesia and i'll try scrath test .. hohohohoooo

[FreeTVideo]

auw,auw,auw! I hate the sound!! D=

[matthias2986]

i thought he was going to scratch around on the screen, as soon as he started banging on the screen i was like "OMG!!! WHY!?" but i am impressed, i had no idea my phones screen was that tough... i remember seeing so many people going around with iphones with large cracks across the screen from being dropped but wow, these screens defeat the purpose of a screen protector huh?

[VraiDiouf]

ouch, I couldn't watch the video anymore. I know you are trying to prove a point, but to me that's phone abuse.

[HeIIoFascination]

wow.

i wouldn't even have the guts to do this to my X o:

[pilot241]

A lot of scratches on the table man.

[Kazing310]

Dragging your keys against, and pounding them are completely different things. Also, are you really pounding the screen, like your trying to go through your phone? Or just letting off when you make contact like a weak punch? Regardless, even a diamond can be scratched by metal, even a key edge. If you where to observe the force at an edge you would see an astounding amount of pressure there. What do you think would happen if you swung a sword at a glass pane? Magic force fields?

[whosdadog]

@Kazing310 I was sending this unit back anyways, so believe me, I was trying my best to scratch it.

[Kazing310]

@whosdadog

The point I'm making is that sharp edges will make scratches. A 'sharp' key is generally not terribly sharp, and from all the 'scratch resistant' videos I've seen a key is generally whats in question. I'd venture you use the edge of a heavy key ring, knife, or better yet, a small irregular pebble. Also, I'd like to see accidental simulated hits, ie sudden hit to the pocket, drop, ext.

See: Gorilla Glass Scratch Test

[wiifimaster]

@Kazing310 no point of saying this. U know if u scratch it it wont scratch it.

[98samster]

@Kazing310 no matter how u put it gorilla glass will be the iphone 4 glass so shut up with ur stupid coments

[roj30001]

@Kazing310 no a diamond cnt you dumb ass only another diamond can scratch another.... if not its fake stupid!!!

[rahgeek]

i see no "scratching" in this video...

[Dweller777]

Nice. Take that, Zagg.

[danygoga]

nice !

[robstrat]

the horror!!!

[MartianJonn]

why are some of you so interested in scratching the screen? even my cheap dioptric glasses can't be scratched, considering how most of phones are easy to break then this kind of test seems only the right one

[dogman683]

all i can say is WOW!!

[OxyConservative]

I bet my son could easily break that.

All I can say is, if you got kids, buy the phone insurance.

[aquanox12]

This makes me scared!

[rejzor]

Lol, i'm no genius in physics, but i know that hitting something produces way more energy than dragging something across. So, if hitting a screen with a key doesn't scratch it, how would dragging a key be more destructive? It makes no sense.

Hitting it with a small pointed object will produce more force per square millimeter than dragging the same pointed object across the screen. Fact.

[THATONEKID177]

There would be more friction if you dragged the key across the screen.

[kyleskid]

Lightly? No. I want you to drag it across like you were pissed at your phone.

[whosdadog]

@kyleskid And how would that be more beneficial than beating the phone with the key?

[kyleskid]

Yes, please. Try scratching it without beating it.

[whosdadog]

@kyleskid So you think lightly dragging my key across the surface is going to have more effect than smacking it with my key?

[Rttmasses]

@whosdadog Please try with the thinner steel you can find ,like a razor blade.

[matthias2986]

@whosdadog lol damn right, the fact that you strike the screen at an angle like that would have much greater chance of producing scratches and or chips in the screen... now im wondering why i bought my screen protector... fuck im taking my screen protector off right now lol, i just now found out my samsung focus has a gorrila glass screen =D very cool, and nice to know! this whole time i have been making sure my phone is the only thing in my pocket so loose change or my keys wont scratch it lol

[SpiDey1500]

@whosdadog Yes. I think so, too. 

[AMMW77]

wow

[kyleskid]

I love how its called "scratch test" even though its just you beating the shit out of the screen with a key. There is a difference to "scratching" and "beating" you know that right?

[whosdadog]

@kyleskid Please define the two.

[kyleskid]

@whosdadog Scratch: incision: a depression scratched or carved into a surface

Beat: hit, knock

That good for you?

[whosdadog]

@kyleskid Would you prefer I try to scratch it _without_ beating the hell out of it?

[XImprove]

@whosdadog Beating- A striking act with repeated blows.

Scratch to rub or tear or mark a surface with something sharp. Being that the droid is scratch proof...lol, I dont think thats all that possible

[ShiroKado]

@whosdadog beating is when u start "whacking the dam thing" xD scratching it. u get a knife and claw at it :D:D:D:D:D

[TokioHotelLovaForeva]

god damn haha, u monster how cud u treat a fone like dat haha. woahh. droid rules!!!!!!

[Doubletapp1989]

Huh! I guess there's a few things that Droid doesn't. HAHAHA!

[whosdadog]

@Doubletapp1989 Droid doesn't what?

[blud7]

@whosdadog Doesn't scratch

[blud7]

@whosdadog It doesn't scratch

[XImprove]

@whosdadog Scratch

[TheJacobHolmes]

@whosdadog scratch.

[mattaio26]

0:45 yay shiny!

[Huffdawg11]

they do scratch

[whosdadog]

@Huffdawg11 Mine hasn't. You really have to hate the screen with a vengeance to get a nick on it.

[ExileFox12]

Droid Does...

[notaspsi05]

oO  !!!

[lsdbrothers]

You are tougher than Chuk Norris!.... Motorola Droid has Gorilla Glass technology, google it... Good vid by the way

[EmbiWorld]

Nice!

[StrykerEcks]

Okay. It survived the key test. What happens when you drop it on asphalt, gravel, sand or something like that?

[ItsNotMyBong]

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude ... you just saved me wasting time and money having a "screen protector" installed!

[chilledkirby]

=0. This made me cringe. I was like

"HOLY CRAP DON'T DO IT!" Nice glass.

[holypredator]

zzz hitting the phone with keys... thats way extream man O.O

btw... nice to know the droid is so awesome....

[whosdadog]

I still use one just because I do not like the ridge on the edge of the screen.

[dave41222]

Thats gorilla glass for ya!! I don't even use a screen protector any more.

[GSPwner]

Same here. I bought the protectors and found out later that day it was gorilla glass. Oh well, I kept the ckeaning cloth. =)

[colominer]

@GSPwner same here it sucked becaused i bought the ones especially for droid and they were expensive

[nambinhvu]

@dave41222 What happens if you slide it across asphalt?

[dave41222]

@nambinhvu i have dropped it in the street b4 phone died but the screen was fine

[vladok1994]

WOW :O
