YOU would not do that and either would I... but a large percentage DO. The returns with thoroughly smashed screens is heartbreaking to see.

All that is true, but I don't really think there is much of a difference between small glass screens vs large glass screens. To put it in an iRex perspective, which I'm more familiar with... I've seen lots of reports of iLiads (8" screen) with broken screens, but very few (if any) reports of DRs (10" screen). It doesn't appear from that example that the DRs are more prone to breaking than the iLiads, even though they have a larger screen. Yes, glass screens can break from twisting, but I think it has much more to do with the structural support/design of the case than it does with how large the screen is.
