    So after much speculation, ive decided gorilla glass is either a) overhyped
    b) inconsistant in their manufacturing.

    I have an asus eee slate ep121, and it comes with a wacom digitizer pen.

    I have now scratched the LCD twice, once on the original and a second time with a replacement now.

    Both times the scratches were caused by the wacom stylus, which means even a simple piece of dust pressed and drawn across can cause a scratch

    This is rather annoying the scratches are deep enough to feel with both the stylus and my finger nail, does anyone know how to repair this? i did a google search and only really got rather questionable methods and no updates on the threads regarding it

    Gorilla Glass does protect more than a regular sheet if glass but at the end of the day its not indestructible.
    Its much better to use a screen protector on top of the glass since you can just replace it once its worn out.

    My own Galaxy S 2 also have very small scratches but they are only noticable at an angle.

    Agreed. A screen protector (or a pack of 3 or 5 for less than $10 on amazon) goes a long way. It might feel "sticky" for the first day or two but you'll get used to it, and as long as your finger tips are dry it'll slide more or less like it used to.
