One of the first things I did for my new IPad3 was try to find a good case. I tried several local stores like WalMart, Staples and Target only to find empty shelves. I ordered a great padded neoprene case from QVC (E 254598) and feel this will help protect it for travel, car trips and while I'm out and about.

Dropped my IPad
 

I too dropped my IPad 2 on my tile floor, not once but twice.

No damage thanks to the case. Brand "Incase". Bought it at Best Buy. Cost $40. Not pretty, bit heavy, BUT in my opinion a must. Of course, always keep screen covered when not in use.

If it still works and turns on you can get the screen replaced. Or do it yourself.
It's about $130 to have it replaced or $50. to do it yourself. You can check online, or even just pay Apple to do it. It's less than a new one....

If I did the same thing to my iPhone, guess it would give a whole new meaning to the term "dropped calls".

Ooooh - good one!

My Yorkies bought me the New iPad yesterday for Mothers day. I didn't even drop and break my old one.

They told me they are so grateful that I feed them, bath them and pick up their poo-poo.

bandage on my iPad2
 

My Apple store said the glass can't be replaced. Wonder if they're pulling my leg (if so, hope it's my left leg, which is 1/8 inch shorter than my right leg).

Anyway, I'm going to DC for a trip this week, and rather than rush and buy a New iPad (which I will) and worry about transferring everything, etc, I decided to temporarily fix my cracked iPad glass with a see-thru $25 bandage. It works, but it's like looking thru a cracked windshield while driving a car. Not a pretty situation. But at least my fingertips are protected from glass slivers.

And to the doubters <g> that I dropped my iPad2 in order get a New iPad (not officially called an iPad3), I didn't. Honest injun!!
