Abstract: A glass article is provided with a cover glass sheet having first and second major surfaces. The second major surface has a first region with a first curve of a first radius of curvature, and a second region that is different than the first region. A frame's support surface has a third region of a first frame material and a fourth region of a different, second frame material. The second major surface faces the support, and the third region includes a second curve that complements the first curve while the fourth region complements the second region. A first adhesive is between the third region and the first region. A second adhesive is disposed between the fourth region and the second region. The first adhesive has a first Young's modulus, and the second adhesive comprising a second Young's modulus that is different than the first Young's modulus.
