Pretty positive. It's an $800 iPad..(64 gig AT&T) not a stress ball.
I tend to baby these things.....ugh.

With all due respect, surely you don't believe that everyone on a public forum will agree with you?
Remember a post where this happened to someone with an iPad 2. In his post people didn't believe him but from what I remember they did replace it for him.
i also owned all 3 ipads and still own 2 and 3 and BQ is just as good on the new one as it is/was in the first 2.
with that said i beat the snot out of all of mine and have never managed to do this with touch. good luck

Right so we have reached the point on this forum that unless you bow to Apple regardless of what you experience you are classed as a troll. I have declined to put up with the build quality of the iPad 3 (my personal experience) but I have given Apple even more of my cash by buying a £1000 Macbook Air instead. Does that make me a troll too?
Or perhaps just a normal Apple customer.
It is very possible the glass had a flaw and was installed in the frame putting additional stress on it and all it took was a little push to bring it to a breaking point.
BUT, when I and others look at it, it DOES look like impact damage. Looks like a hard object, like a coffee cup, etc fell on the screen. I would think a regular stress crack would cause a single break from one side of the screen to the other but this has all the signs of an impact cause spider breaks from the center.
You will be at the mercy of the Geek. I would be humble and not indignant!

Do let us know what's happened and if you managed to get it replaced.
a few months back, my girlfriend and I were watching TV at home and all of a sudden, my favorite glass filled with coke just burst and cracked into small pieces!
We both jumped up! Thought there was a ghost or something but it was one of those unexplained things (well maybe a scientist could tell me what happened).. I took a picture of the smashed glass and it's on the computer somewhere.
So I believe that it's possible for the glass to just crack..

A few months ago I was reading reviews of the Kindle Fire on Amazon. A young lady rated it one star and said it was a piece of junk. She said she was using it and the screen broke. She said she would be very angry if Amazon gave her a hard time when she returns it.
When you click on "See my other reviews" she had a Kindle Fire case rated one star as well and went on to explain how it didn't protect her KF when her friend took it from her and threw it down on a cement walkway.
Not sure how correct you are about this, you can actually hear a big SLAP when I slam my smartcover shut on my iPad 2 sometimes and there's no damage whatsoever.
These screens are supposed to be resistant to pressure damage. My girlfriends cat walks and sits on hers and again, no damage.
he's not talking about the smart cover, in the image you can see there is a snap on case around the edge of the iPad, if this case is not the exact correct size, it could be pulling on the corners, causing stress on the glass.
