iPad mini dented right out the box mini

Our two are flawless. Sorry to hear

Unluckiest man alive with an dented iPad? Guess you didn't hear about hurricane sandy huh?

Wow this thread is worthless without pics.

Why call apple and make a appointment? You just bought it today.
Just go return it no need to wait for a genius appointment 3 days from now.

PICTURES OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN.... Bro

Sometimes I don't understand why people would make a thread to ask if there is damage. Ever heard of a return policy?

That isn't a dent, that is for you to hold the iPad Mini in a single hand.. that is a finger guide. LOL

Sorry, I just had too. You can exchange it, but I know it sucks to have to deal with that.

When I bought my iPad 3, I waited in line from 5am to when the store opened. When I finally got home, I unboxed the new iPad (my first iPad ever) and found dirt and dust under the glass. I thought to myself "the biggest thing about this device is the screen and you can't even enjoy it" so I called them up and brought that thing right back to the store within the hour. They replaced it right there in the store and I went back home very happy. You should just bring it down and have them replace it right there, unless they have none left in stock.

It's best to open your purchase while still at the Apple store. That way you're not taking such a big risk. Each of the last three purchases I've made had significant defects. Fortunately by discovering these issues before leaving the store, it's faster & easier to get them exchanged for products that are not defective.

Is it getting to the point that if buyer accidentally chips/dents their iToy they can just say it's "Scuff Gate?"

Aluminum dents, if not now, then later.
I think that it is a very poor choice of material, but Apple obviously disagrees.
Apple genius told me when there was a scratch(es) on my iphone that he would not exchange again b/c these scratches will happen anyway.

I wanted to give him a piece of my intelligence but just decided to let him replace it and not tell him "i'll return it again, right back to you if I feel like it." The lameness of some of these people is insulting.

He would do well to say "Frankly, your chances of finding one without scratches is a crapshoot. Please just understand that there is a limit to the number that I can open up, sorry"

sorry. definitely take it back and exchange. also, knock on wood ...at least no one is complaining about pink, green, or blue tints. that would just add to the complaining.

I had the huge nick right out of the box, so I am going to sent them back on monday for refund. But today, i went to apple store to grab a new one, and i was first in line. i got the new mini today and sending back the nick mini for refund. i would not recmmened you to swap it because you are within the return period. if you bought it from online, mail it back for the refund and buy a new one in store, and if you bought it from the store go to the store to exchange it.
Hope they are still available

I would be pissed...hope they exchange it for a new one,and don't think it was your fault.

When mine finally arrived yesterday the screen was bulging out of the center on the left side. I could stick my fingernail under the screen and peel it off almost. I got it exchanged the next day for a brand new one!

With such a popular product I'd assume there would be a few flawed ones out there.

Doesn't look like a dent.

Looks like it's chipped off.

Did you mistaken it for a big chocolate bar and taken a bite out of it?
