I'm not surprised at the bending - aluminum does that, but I am about the glass since the mini's glass seems thinner then other iPad

I find this really hard to believe. Maybe a little bend but not that much. Even if the display or body could bend that much with out a crack, it is hard to believe that the battery, internal components, and or ribbon connections would not have been damaged from such bend.

So untill I see a video of a bent iPad mini working. I can’t believe the OP

I wouldn't recommend it, but I can certainly wrap my mind around the concept :)

Sorry I can't accommodate you. I'm not about to push my luck trying to repeat this just so I can video tape it for you. I guess you'll just have to remain a non-believer.... :p
