How is the build quality of your ipad?

got it launch day, perfect and pristine out of the box.
No scratches, no glue, yellowing, spots, dead pixels, and if it weren't for the thread with pics, I would never have noticed the (very minimal) backlight bleeding.

I really lucked out with my beauty. 64GB White wifi.

 

got mine on launch day. everything was tip top. only flaw i could see was the trim around that screen had 2-3 small warped areas. not noticeable unless you were looking for it.

 

Add dead pixels to the poll. I have one, but it could be worse.

 

So 8 out of 8 are somehow defective/non-perfect in these first 3 posts?

Ouch

 

Very minor light bleeding. Not noticeable in normal usage, but I can see it if I do the silly black screen/dark room test. Doesn't bother me since I have yet to notice it while actually using it, including watching letter boxed videos etc.

Wow, this is making me reconsider getting it, at least not before all this craziness end.

 

My 64gb wifi had a small little black spot. Almost looked like a grain of pepper. Took it to the apple store and they swapped it out. However it was in a brown box instead of a retail iPad 2. But this one appears to be flawless.

 

Light bleeding here. Doesn't seem very noticeable under normal use, but definitely in the dark (not stupid pitch blackroom test, but just dark like with the TV on and stuff).

Still going to exchange it, but not in a rush I don't think unless I find it's worse than originally thought .. (just got it an hour ago).

 

Had a dead pixel on the first iPad 2 and this new one seems to have an uneven bezel but not bad enough to warrant a return.

 

I dont have the ipad 2 but i certainly dont recall seeing this many complaints about build issues with the ipad 1

 

Got an iPad 2 yesterday and as far as I can tell, the construction is solid. No glue, yellowing, uneven glass, dead pixels or noticeable under everyday usage light bleed.

 

Mine has one dead pixel, which I dont mind too much and can endure, but it also has backlight bleeding and slight dings/abrasions straight out of the box, I'm holding onto it for now, while I decide a course of action.

 

I can find nothing wrong with mine at all. I'm totally satisfied with the quality of the unit.

 

My iPad 2 came in pristine condition.
I have not noticed any problems whatsoever since getting it.

Perfect condition imo

 

No issues here

 

A minor nick in the aluminum finish by the 3G black strip. I noticed it as soon as I removed the plastic. Minor backlight bleed, but I don't notice it except on the test image.

 

Got a great unit here! Relieved after reading all of the other posts!

 

My iPad 2 has one stuck pixel. But I can live with it. My iPad 1 also had 1 dead pixel and my 11inch MBA has a super bright pixel.

 

Mine has almost unnoticable light bleeding but other than that is arrived perfect. There was a little glue goop in one spot but I cleaned that off with my thumbnail.

 

No problems whatsoever.

Picked up two units Monday from local Best Buy. 32GB white WiFi and 64GB 3G White.

Neither have ANY of the mentioned problems. Since I'd had more than a week to see the pics on here with backlight bleeding, yellowing, scratches, etc. I was extremely paranoid and opened them in the store with the cashier watching. Thankfully nothing was wrong.

I was one of the guys who got stuck with the yellow screen problem on the iPhone 4, but not this time. Sorry to hear about all the scratches and such... that's a real drag.

 

Everyone please understand this poll is not using a representative sample.

 

Mine is nearly perfect, but I just noticed that the trim piece between the glass and bezel is very slightly loose in the upper left corner. Just going to keep my eye on it or now.
