Claim One:
1. A method of making a glass cover, said glass cover having a target three-dimensional shape which comprises a planar central portion and a perimeter portion which (i) borders at least part of the planar central portion and (ii) extends out of the plane of the planar central portion to provide the glass cover with three dimensionality, said perimeter portion having a perimeter edge, said method comprising: (I) providing a mold for forming the glass cover, said mold having a molding surface; (II) producing the glass cover using the mold of step (I); and (III) ion exchange strengthening the glass cover produced in step (II); wherein the shape of the molding surface of the mold of step (I) is based at least in part on a computer-implemented model which predicts/estimates changes to the target three-dimensional shape as a result of the ion exchange strengthening of step (III), said computer-implemented model including the effects of ion exchange through the perimeter edge.
