Gorilla Glass is a type of Glass that Corning has become famous for. If you want to make your laptop, tablet, phone, monitor or whatever else tough, Gorilla glass is what you need.

Corning is at its third generation of Gorilla Glass really. The latest product announcement is a type of Gorilla Glass specifically conceived for touch-enabled notebooks.

Called Gorilla Glass NBT, but really just Gorilla Glass 3 under a different name, it has enhanced scratch resistance, better retained strength (once a blemish occurs) and reduced flaw visibility.

Long nails shouldn't pose a threat to your laptop anymore if it's got one of these.

"Known as the cover glass of choice for device manufacturers around the world, Corning Gorilla Glass now extends its exceptional capabilities into the emerging touch-enabled notebook market," said James R. Steiner, senior vice president and general manager, Corning Specialty Materials.
