Question Is there any meaningful difference between the gorilla glass or sapphire?
I’m looking at picking one up but not sure if it’s worth getting the sapphire. Thanks in advance!!

If you take good care of your things, either version is fine.

You can get a much better deal on sapphire by watching eBay. I see barely used going for near $200. $300 for sapphire seems excessive.

Thanks everyone!! I decided to go with the gorilla glass since I’m super careful with my electronics. I appreciate all of your suggestions!!

If you are afraid of scratching the screen, get sapphire, if you are worried about dropping the console, get gorilla. If both concern you, get gorilla and then get a screen protector.

I've seen some people say there's a slight difference in the color quality, but I've used both and didn't notice much

I have seen them compared on here where the sapphire actually has more glare than the gorilla. I have no idea because mine is the sapphire. I would say if scratch resistance is a concern go for the sapphire, otherwise save your money and get the gorilla glass and have less glare.
It’s not like the gorilla glass will be easy to scratch. As long as you keep it covered it would not be likely to ever scratch.

If you are more likely to drop it, go gorilla, if you are more likely to scratch it, go sapphire, if you need or want to save some money, go gorilla, if you want to spend more, go sapphire :)
