[All iPads] Ever drop tablet on your face dozing off in bed?

abercrombie · Dec 25, 2012, 04:41 AM

I always bring my 10" tablet to bed before sleep, there have been many times where I've almost dropped it my face when it's time to doze off. But I never have... yet. Now I got the smaller & lighter tablet and worry less about breaking my nose or tooth.

I make sure its far enough back so when it does fall it is short of my face

. Happens all the time

Don't take those kind of gadgets with you in bed

I don't hold my tablet above my face when I'm in bed, haha. I usually lay on my back and bend my knees up and rest it against my knees, sit up, and keep it on my lap, or I just put it on an angle at the side of me to use. Don't kid yourself, the iPad mini is still capable of knocking a tooth off if you drop it on your face.

I've seen other people do it, but never done it myself. But then, as the poster above says, I never hold it up above my head.

Yeah, and I sleep with my glasses on a lot!!!! The damn thing is so comfortable and warm, it's nice to wake up to. too.

Jacquesvw · Dec 25, 2012, 08:20 AM

I've dropped plenty of woman on my face while in bed, but never a tablet...

WillFisher · Dec 25, 2012, 08:46 AM

Not my ipad, my phone all the time.

yinz · Dec 25, 2012, 09:52 AM

Almost several times. Good thing the iPad 2 is heavy so it woke me up when I lost balance..

maflynn · Dec 25, 2012, 10:04 AM

Can't say that ever happened, and I don't expect it

dinggus · Dec 25, 2012, 10:12 AM

Its in a case, so no. It rests on my chest.

CrickettGrrrl · Dec 25, 2012, 11:05 AM

2 or 3 times, d'oh! --And the heavy 1st Gen model too.

Now I keep it propped against a pillow. Or use my iPod touch.

paulbennett95 · Dec 25, 2012, 02:02 PM

I did it with my moms ipad 2 once, but I do it weekly with my iPhone 4S.

1rottenapple · Dec 25, 2012, 02:06 PM

Haha I've done that with my mini!

Lya · Dec 25, 2012, 02:38 PM

Never happened to me, thinking about this situation makes me laugh

irDigital0l · Dec 25, 2012, 02:46 PM

Since I have an iPad 1...that would suck hard.

Gunny011 · Dec 25, 2012, 03:30 PM

no, but I have woken up to some very interesting positions with my iPad and iPhone...

nightlong · Dec 25, 2012, 03:47 PM

My iPad had several near death experiences sleeping with me. Then I got a Hover Bar. Have mentioned this on some other threads .... The HB clamps into bedside table and so my iPad is very secure, perfect angle, easily adjustable.

iPad mini = bruise

iPad 3/4 = concussion

Paulywauly · Dec 25, 2012, 05:36 PM

Wow i'm glad its not just me. It became less painful after i got a Kindle for reading in bed though

lokster · Dec 25, 2012, 06:43 PM

hahahaha
