That's good design and PR. its not, & it can not survive a 5-foot fall from whatever angle you would like, - when you make something like "Ipad" from scartch & some young dude, came buy one just to break it, - or you made a persentation & your kid came & puked all over it,...... at least it did not survive a 2 years old boy piss test.. right & you are not going to be pissed right? I remember back at 1998 after Daiana accedent Mercides did aired a 45 minutes commercial about how safe their cars, ... (what i meant is its about company reputation) is it not?

Apple To Pay Dividend, Start Stock Buybacks NEW YORK March 19, 2012 NEW YORK (AP) — Apple is finally acknowledging that it has more money than it needs. But don't expect it to cut prices on iPhones and iPads. Instead, the company said on Monday that it will reward its shareholders with a dividend and a stock buyback program. Apple, the world's most valuable publicly traded company, sits on $97.6 billion in cash and securities.

That's his money wasted, not Apple's. Besides, it did survive the first two falls just fine. It was the screen-first fall that broke it.

However its things like these videos that keep people from spending their hard earned money on these kinds of items... So in theory it could cost apple a few thousand dollars

I'm not sure there is much for Apple to be upset about considering the reviewing company showed an upgraded test result from the previous generation of the same product. I am not an Ipod or Iphone fanatic, but I must admit that this video shows a quality product in regard to true life accident type events.

So in theory it could cost apple a few thousand dollars The iPad withstood a fall onto its back from 4 feet up. Then it withstood a fall from the same height, landing on a corner. I'd never even think of dropping mine from that height. But it's nice to know I don't have to worry so much about it. Seems to me like the video will appease any who think the iPad is too fragile.

SpiritedRadiance -> RE: apple is going to be pissed (3/21/2012 10:05:06 PM)
I then ask you too look at other devices dropped from higher heights. Im 5'7 meaning if i drop my Ipad, or what ever its going to be higher then from 4 feet. If the corner (which was dented badly) would get as such at 4 feet, I wouldnt buy it. Since its likely in an accident to fall on its face then its back, i again most likely wouldnt buy the product because of the damage. Its why i stick with androids, Ive dropped my current phone from a first story drop by accident, the only thing that broke on it was the case, no scratches no nothing other then then need to spend another 30 bucks on a damned good case.

You do realize you're comparing a tablet computer with a much smaller and lighter phone, right? If you'd be so careless with a computer that you'd drop it from that height, you may not want to buy one at all, regardless of he maker. I've had the original iPad since fall of 2010, with almost daily use at home, work and college. It hasn't gotten a mark on it. Of th smart phones I've had, only two were ever dropped, one of the early black berry models and one of the more recent versions. Each got only a minor scratch on it.

Double post.

So youve never tripped over something? Im clumsy, Its why i otterbox my phone, its why i carry accidental insurance on my macbook, my dell, and my cell. Its why make sure the cases and protection i put on my electronics is adequate... I was given a galaxy tab from VZ to play with and try out... I dropped it 5 times in the 3 months i had it.. I dropped it on its face more then once... It didnt crack or break. Ive dropped phones in soup, in the toilet, in a pot of pasta sauce. I live in the real world and sadly small children are a part of that world... However the otterbox.. you can submerge that thing... and no water gets in... +1 for an otterbox for the ipad

I'm usually sitting down while handling a multi-hundred dollar device bought with my hard-earned money. quote: ORIGINAL: SpiritedRadiance Im clumsy, Its why i otterbox my phone, its why i carry accidental insurance on my macbook, my dell, and my cell.

If these things were meant to be truly indestructible, the market for super strong cases would be non-existent. Besides, there are protection/insurance plans you can buy with the device that will replace it for free even if you are the one who damaged it. Either way, a company being "pissed" that someone spent money on ther product just to break it. Once it's bought, a person can do anything they want with a product.
