My wifes Gen3 broke. It was in the cubbyhole (glove compartment for some of us) and we were doing a difficult drive in the desert. I don't think anything struck the screen to cause the break. It is just a theory but I think a lot of these breaks are caused by flexing. The Gen3 is very light, one of the things I like about it, but in a bag or cubbyhole with other stuff it could flex and that would crack the substrate. Anyway it is just a theory but I apply it.
I pretty much treat mine as I would an expensive book. I wont stuff a good book into a bag and will try real hard not to drop it and so on.
