I too was curious about the screen wigglies, but, having purchased a 
tibook I find that I am treating it just like my Pismo, 3400, 165,145, 
140 et all. Carefully and with due diligence.

It is strong and powerfull.

But, I think Apple designed it as eye candy to boost sales rather than 
as a rugged go anywhere and do anything ToughBook by Panasonic. And it 
worked. The target audience went all goo goo eyes and bought tons of 
them. I carry mine in a Pelican 1490 briefcase and am not sure I would 
want to do so in a backpack, but I might with a little extra protection.
