6. I've never had a pad break

(I also have a kindle) but I bought a tomtom GPS several years ago and the glass broke about 3 months after I got it. tomtom said "yeah, buy another one"

Most of the cases I've looked into seem to focus their protection on corner dropping, which would suggest that a perpendicular blow to the ipad glass will shatter it. I also have a friend whose ipad glass shattered. He put a screen protector over the cracks and still uses it.

I'd like to avoid that

iPads seem pretty durable, but I opted for something better than the Apple cover. NV Whino Apr 2013 #7
