I'd really like to figure this out too, but no, no one was around while I was away.

Any thoughts on whether the way you held your DR may be a cause of the malfunctioning/broken screen? Maybe it wasn't trauma but strain that has led to the screen issue?

BAM! I would never have thought of that. Yes, I think thats exactly what happened, and now that you mention it, I can recall times when I've wondered if I was straining the screen. This is the most common way I hold the device while reading (with the capacitive buttons being hypersensitive and everything), and I don't think this will change. Too bad the device is so large that it actually strains the corners
Well, at least I now know (or think I know) how this happened, and since it was a result of my lifestyle, I will probably not send my DR in for fixing (and probably sell the accessories and give the DR away), as it is likely to happen again.
Many thanks to cbell, cmhsieh54, myprecious and Danny. I'm glad my posts on the forum were useful, and I hope you have a positive experience with your DR. For the most part, I did too!
