    Ouch! Dropped the iPad

    I dropped my iPad this evening for the first time. The corner that contacted the concrete got a bit dented up and slightly marred. Seems to be working fine (thanks to the protective faux-leather cover it was in) but I was curious if anyone has dropped theirs and ended up with much worse outcomes???

    Dropped mine with a case, all fine. Didn't even panic, just a wee "oh darn!" and didn't even look at it straight away. Felt confident. LOL

    Sorry about yours though ;(

    Ours have been dropped a dozen times now on hardwood flooring, but the ugly apple case does a remarkable job of protecting it. That funny lip around the edge seems to absorb impact nicely.

    Haven't dropped mine so can't speak to that, but thankfully you had it in a case so it seems mostly cosmetic damage. Makes a good case for using a case!

    A sad incident, but you made this photo really cool. Really like the blurry background!

    Dropped mine onto tile floor. It was in a Zagg/keyboard combo. No damage whatsoever.

    I've thought about getting one of those, does the ipad "snap" into the case? Isn't the back of the iPad exposed still?
