A few Nexus 6P users have reported spontaneously breaking rear glass panels

Some Nexus 6P users have reported on Reddit and Twitter that the rear glass panel that covers the camera, flash and laser autofocus module of the device spontaneously cracked during normal usage. The users have reported that the panel would just brake on its own, without any impact.  

Another user has reported that the front glass panel of his Nexus 6P spontaneously cracked during an airline flight while the device was left untouched. After delaying the shipments of the Nexus 6P to customers, Google and Huawei might have found another way to further irritate their customers, as the Nexus 6P might be suffering from a design flaw. Although there is no certainty that the panels did actually brake on their own, there is no way to be sure that this is a design/technical engineering issue. The Nexus 6P’s body is primarily made out of aluminium, which is prone to expanding and contracting during changes in temperature, humidity and air pressure.

For those who had their glass panels crack spontaneously, the positive side of things is that the repair should be covered under the standard hardware warranty that will get your panel replaced for free.
