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

Sent from my iPad using iPF

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.

Sorry but I can't stop loling.... Very sad though.

I dropped my iPad on my tile floor. And the corner bent. I was worried that something else might have been broken as well. I'm very picky because I don't want my iPad to look all bent scratched up. So I took it to Dr. Cell Phone in Dallas. They do iPad repairs of all types. And now I'm happy. So for being so picky.

Bought my baby a wooden case, wondering if I shouldn't get something padded or more shock absorbent. I do plan on being in line for the otterbox of griffin survivor, whichever makes it to amazon first. Retail prices are atrocious.

If I had dropped my iPad as many times as my BB...bloody hell!

Thankfully I'm yet to drop iPad yet.

I'm not using my iPad for a grocery list.
I am not completely paperless either... yet!

Soon after I got my iPad I took it to the hardware store with my shopping list. So I bought all the stuff I needed, loaded it in the back of the van and I almost made it out of the parking lot when I realized something was missing.... MY iPAD! It was still in the back part of the basket pretty as you please in the cart corral! Some Home Depot employee almost got lucky that day!

Sounds like something my dad would do!

I'm sorry but I didn't understand any of that. How did your screen shatter without any physical contact. What "goo" are you talking about? There was gouge in your screen? And how did it look like a spiderweb?

If this was a joke I totally didn't get it. Lol

Must have been playing a difficult level of world of goo before going to sleep

If you get the otterbox defender case for your iPad, you will never have to worry about dropping it! They're even cheaper now that the iPad 2 is out. Look on EBay.

I never dropped my ipad yet, but worry it is going to happen sooner or later. Mine had the apple case, so some safety there
