That little plastic slide cover people like to cover the camera with can crack the screen.

It's not that they're fragile. But in an effort to make a thin, and light device. The space tolerance between the screen and keyboard is very tight when closed.

I understand that it's "precision engineering"; and, that the result is a fragile product (they are not mutually exclusive concepts).

I think you're also describing something that is "easily broken or destroyed".

Maybe Apple's superior precision engineering results in a product that is too fragile for their Dorito-eating users. Maybe they could apply that engineering to make devices with better durability.

Everyone knows you don't eat or drink around a computer. /s

But in all seriously, is this regular use? If I'm driving a Lamborghini, and I misshift, grind gears, and break a synchronizer is it my fault or lamborgini's for having crappy gears.
