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???

Lucky you

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 ;(

Oh No --- Better get an iPad 2 to replace it LOL

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!

Thanks for making us more confident in the event it'll happen to us.

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?

I like your thinking...

Sorry you dropped your iPad! There was a member here who ran theirs over!

I almost want to drop mine and test out this otterbox defender.

Nope, never dropped mine either: I take very good care of my things, and no need to turn it into an armoured brick, either.

Although I once saw someone on the bus with a naked iPad and it had a dent yay-big on the back, and it was kind of sad-looking.

i droped my ipad also...sadly my power button not function...do u guys know can buy the case (original back case)

Maybe send it away to Apple or take it into a Apple store that's all I can think of.

I have the Otterbox on mine and have dropped it numerous times. Nothing happened. Not even a scratch.

Oh wow didn't know otter box made one for the pad, have to check that out...I break a lot of phones and things, so I got the square trade warranty on my pad immediately after I got it

Yes OtterBox does make them for the iPad. A helpful tip, if you order it from Amazon or Walmart online the price drop is a bunch! For instance, 90 dollars for the best Defender case from the retailers and around 50 online...

I had dropped my ipad right on the face, luckily it did not hit the body. The screen was shattered pretty bad. At first i didn't know what to do but after searching for iPad Repair Center's near my area found Dr. Cell Phone. They did a great job!

My screen shattered (spiderwebbed) and I didn't even drop it or drop anything on it. Target exchanged it out no questions asked.
I woke up Saturday morning,took it out of sleep and the screen looked funny , had a rainbow, so I tried scraping the goo( thought maybe gum or something) and it was like a gouge so I looked at it sideways in the light and the whole thing looked like a spiderweb.
