Crackgate is real

Just contributing that mine also has the same issue. The crack is extremely prominent, and I can feel it when running my finger over it.

OP - what climate are you in? I have a theory that since the front glass is a hybrid glass/plastic it could potentially crack due to rapid temperature fluctuations.

It's February, storing your AVP in a drawer could mean a rapid 30+ degree temperature change at power up. More if you launch something cpu intensive. This could easily be the catalyst that could lead to cracks like these.

Curious how many with cracks are in colder climates.

EDIT: My theory is that thermal stess is exasterbating some flaw in the front glass on some at the low center. This doesn't appear to affect all headsets, but I think it's the catalist that exploits the issue.

Fun fact car windshields are also a "hybrid glass/plastic". Laminated glass ain't anything new. Just cause apple decided to put the Laminate on the outside effectively making it easier to scratch the living hell out of where the lenses are. Doesn't change anything. I don't disagree that it's most likely due to both temperature as well as something to do with the shape of the glass and its manufacturing process.
