    Turned on my Mac to this, have no idea what happened. Anyone have any idea what is going on? Never mind, just got a confession out of my husband. He closed the screen with his glasses on the laptop. Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

    nope in the center area it doesnt take much force to do that. I killed one with a bloody gummybear my daughter left behind, and another with a fat hair elastic

    The perp claims that he barely touched the glasses with no pressure at all. I wasn't believing that but now that KCETech1 claims to have killed his LCD with a gummy bear I guess it is possible, pretty amazing.

    you can tap on your screen without doing any damage to it. i'm not sure about closing your screen with objects inside though... there is barely any space between the screen and the body when closed and not a lot of room to flex, either.

    Her ;) but im nitpicking

    force from the top unless its a twist is pretty resilient, but anything on the deck can scratch or break your screen ive found. I would actually believe your perp as glasses dont have as much give as hair elastics or gummies
