is possible that break in the glass in your photo was initiated by a mounting pressure point (over-tightened screw?)

IIRC, the glass is held on by magnets, as you only need a couple suction cups to lift it right off. The LCD behind the glass is held on by screws.

"IIRC, the glass is held on by magnets, as you only need a couple suction cups to lift it right off. "

If that is the case, is there a protective plastic film on the front of the glass -- that is holding the pieces together?

If the glass is, indeed, free-floating, the damage must have been shipping/handling related. OR, the shipment packaging failed, BIG TIME...

I still say that Apple should study how the FSTV folks package their products for shipment...

Thanks for the info/insight!
