So I managed to break the screen on my iPad, holding my phone in hand while using the iPad on a desk. The phone slipped out and hit the home button, causing the glass to shatter.
After going through the iFixit teardown, it appears the area around the home button seems to be structurally weak, both on the Pro 9.7" and Air 2. I wanted to gauge if this was a common problem or not, but the glass seems like a step backwards compared to my last iPad (3rd gen). (Which actually survived multiple drops.)
