I have no idea what "consensus" Harry is talking about though (maybe he came to a consensus on his own).
The consensus among manufacturers, who seem to have all decided that a 9.7" glass screen is not viable, and are waiting for the flexible one. That's why the 9.7" devices from Hanlin, Astak, etc, were all "put on hold" pending the availability of the flexible screens.

The DR (which has a larger screen than the DX will) doesn't seem to have problems with being too fragile. I've seen less reports of broken screens with the DR than I did with the iLiad after a similar period of time.
It's aimed at a different market - business, not student, users. A device aimed at students needs to be a lot tougher.
