How have we found the ipad pro 9.7 screen strength? Today someone gave my front panel a good wack with their hand, do we have any testimony from someone who uses their ipad pro in an actual 'high wear' environment? Besides saying it's good or bad, basically it's Gorilla Glass just like an iphone 6 right?

#1. It is much stronger than the Air 2 because Apple anticipated users would lay they wrists on it when drawing.
#2. I don't know exactly what kind of Glass it is my Note 5 has Gorilla Glass 4 and the iPad Pro 9.7 is much more Scratch resistant.
#3. The Apple Pencil will scratch it since tiny pieces of sand embed in the rubber tip once you drag that across the display it's done for. I placed the newest and best Glass Oleophobic Gorilla Glass 4 screen protector on mine and everything works fine and the display is fully protected no scratches yet. But I do not use the Apple Pencil much in Fact I returned it.
