keeps crashing to homescreen

[Asharp]

it stays open when i hold the ipad a certain way, and i have to VERY lightly touch the keys to type without it crashing. ive realized its a hardware issue. anytime i touch the actual ipad near the bottom it goes to the home screen

Finally! Someone who has a similar problem to me. I've been trying to find and fix this problem for almost a week. Every time I hold my iPad 2 in portrait mode, e.g., while reading in iAnnotate or playing Tetris, it shuts down.

Since rebooting does not solve the problem, I'm simply going to go to an Apple store and get it fixed.

This forum is great!
