It definitely isn’t Corning who are covering the top of this one. It just ‘feels’ the same as my phone screens, but I’m not actually sure what the surface is! Someone else asked me to check, so I’ve asked my friend at Anbernic (will update here if I remember!). All I can say for sure now is that it has the exact same feel as all my phones do.

I’m like you though, in that I’ll be very interested in how this looks after say 6 months of use. It does come with a screen protector, and the soft case it has will protect it in transit.
