The screen on every Apple iOS device is made of gorilla glass, not plastic.

What exactly leads you to think the iPad screen may be plastic.

What do you mean by travel in screen?

That's because the glass is quite thin. The gorilla glass in the screen can take an amazing amount of flexing before it will shatter.

Everything in the world as some degree of flex. Look at aluminum foil. That is metal but if you make it super thin it can flex. Some things break easily when flexed too much. The iPad screen should not be flexed too much or it might crack. The screen also has coating on it which might make the surface appear soft. Advise you not go poking too much trying to see if it really is plastic or not.

I've never seen the screen flex or move in any way. Strange.

Me neither, I'm pretty gentle though.

Just curious, how are you cleaning the screen of your iPad? Dave

Hi and welcome to the Forum!

I'm wondering if it's not the parallax feature at play here. Have you updated to IOS7? This feature allows the screen to move behind the app icons when viewing the iPad at different angles.

Turn it off and see if you still see movement. Settings - General - Accessibility - Reduce Motion.

You will save a little battery life with it off also!
