The press release did talk about the frame being reinforced with metal for additional durability to offset the thinness, so it's probably not as fragile as it looks at first glance.
This is an interesting video (somebody pointed to it in another of our threads). It shows the component pieces of the Oasis; the physical back of the Oasis is stressed and torqued in the reviewer's hands. I don't suppose he was trying hard to bend it in half, but it does appear to be moderately sturdy. It makes me feel a little better about the thinness! It's interesting to see.

[edit: we posted at the same time. It's the same video that howyoudoin is pointing to. ]
