How durable is the screen? Is it gorilla glass? I have a special needs child that sometimes rough on the digitizer screen on his iPad 2

I dont think so BUT mine is used constantly by a four year old....however we have two ipads and the other day she did fall down in the parking lot and the screen did break but the protective cover kept the shards inside....they are a bit expensive but I do highly recommend them...you wont regret your purchase

I have no idea what type of glass it is however we have been happy with our case. We purchased this for our 2 1/2 year old daughter's iPad. She has dropped it and presses fairly hard on the screen and we have been happy with the case so far.

Hi Colin! It is not a gorilla screen but I think it is very durable. My kids are rough too especially my 3y/o boy! I highly recommend it :) Hope this helps. Good luck and Happy Holidays!

The case goes around everything but the screen, so the screen durability is the same. But the case is raised on the edges quite a bit so it still is protected. My daughter has thrown it on the floor in the garage and it didn't break.

There are two screens per say. There is a digitizer and a LCD screen. The digitizer is what you touch your fingers to that operate it. The LCD is sealed below that. If the outer screen where you operate it with you finger is cracked then yes. Just know this one is like a plastic and not the glass type. It seems like it will not break and I think it's better having my 2 year old mostly on it. If you want the glass type it will say it and you will see a price difference.

The previous 2 posters did not answer your question. Scott P. is wrong. This is not a digitizer, this is an lcd (actually led) screen. This product as described and pictured appears to only be the lcd screen itself which is inside the ipad case. Assuming your screen is still visible and usable, but the very outside layer is cracked, this is not what you need. search instead for "front panel."

The best way to tell is where your digitizer hooks into the iPad. Some don't use clips and they use the double sided tape which in my opinion isn't as good unless you plan on breaking the screen again...then its a cakewalk to remove again. I'd go with a different one than this if possible.

Haven't had an issue with scratching and I don't have a protective film on iPad. Not 100% sure I'd purchase again after usin it for about a month --- not as protective as previous version --- iPad stand doesn't always stay up --- however battery life is awesome.

Yes! When I got it felt like a thin, plastic like screen and I thought I bought some cheap replacement screen but once I removed my cracked one they actually had the same look and feel. The quality is pretty much the same. Believe it or not the screen looks exactly like the original apple screen once it was put on my iPad.

Its actually really durable..id recommend a Black & White Acrylic Display Board if u need to but will be fine without... just keep surface dust free ..and if anything you can use photoshop to fix any blemishes.. or aperture--zoom settings to blur out... background too.. hope this helps

I cannot say if it is gorilla, but it is definitely glass on the back of the screen. Adds a bit of weight but the also adds a nice stiffness to the screen.

It's the gorilla glass , am using my phone ruff and it's not a mark on my new screen ... It's excellent... You won't be disappointed..

I dropped my IPAD and cracked my screen. I ordered this replacement screen, w/installation tools, and the new glass screen worked perfectly. If you have any patience at all, you can repair your IPAD and save a lot of money.

I believe it's drop proof. We've had ours for over a year now and my daughter is 3. No problems with it so far. The see through plastic does get scratched up over time, but with the iPad screen on bright you don't really notice.

This is a silicone material. It is enough sturdy to be placed on Wood floor or on top of a table with out falling by it self. But Is not hard enough to protect it from impacts. My son fell down with his ipad and the screen is cracked. I bought it bc it was cute and easier to grab it by my 3y.o. son. After replacing the screen I will buy a super strong case. This is cute, fun and easy to hold but not strong enough to prevent from braking. My oldest son has a Ipad4 with a very hard case that makes the ipad heavier (of course) but ipad fell down 20 times and is like in a new condition. :/ I hope this helps....

I replaced my screen a few months ago with this screen, and this new one has broken as well. I don't think this was a defect of the screen though, cuz it fell off my bed at one point and must have gotten a very small crack that way and eventually expanded. The quality seemed to be the same as the original apple screen, but they're so thin that they must just break fairly easily

From our experience I would have to say yes. I mean I think with all tablets you have to be careful because they all have the screen that can crack. We have iPads & I am pleased with the thick case the Nabi comes with. My son is 6 so he's pretty rough lol. His tablet has been dropped many times with no damage. The screen got cracked from something dropping right onto the screen but I had the screen replaced. So yes I believe it's durable from our experience.

Hello Heather, that has been the most aggravating situation for my kids as well as me. If you can find a frame shop that has gorilla glass they can replace it for you, however I have not been able to find one. You can also order gorilla glass online and either try it for yourself or have a professional glass company that deals in windshields try and do it for you. That is my next step. One other option that helps but you will still will have a little bubbles is place the top and your Kindle and a moist free dry environment and that will help a little. The best option though it's try and get that top replaced with gorilla glass. Good luck that is better trust me, I feel your pain and aggravation.

I'm fairly certain that it's not gorilla glass. The surface either has a different coating, or is lacking the usual coating/texture smartphone screens usually have. It seems to attract more fingerprints and dirt.

Yes, to my knowledge the display is Gorilla Glass 3 coated with an oleophobic layer. Mind you, I have no way of verifying this for sure, but it feels identical to the original glass, and has held up well to abrasive punishment as well as fingerprints thus far.
