How often do you turn your iPad off?

[MikeM87]

Hey guys and girls just wondering how often you turn your iPad off? I've had mine on for a few days maybe a week now without turning it off does this harm the device or is it just the same as leaving your iPhone on?

Thanks for the replies...

Good thing you turned it off in a week or less. If left on for 8 days it will explode. This is covered in the printed manual that came with it.

My iPad has been on form months now with no I'll effects at all. The battery is still 12 hours!

I think I've shut mine off three times in a year.

I never shut mine off, come to think of it ive had my ipod for 2 years and ive never shut it off either.

 

[afireintonto]

Never!!!

It's not really a device that you need to turn off per-say. Sleep is good enough for it, since is so low power.

I almost never power down my iPad. Only time I ever do is to reboot but even that is few and far between.

I think I've 'rebooted' it once or twice but I've yet to turn it off.

Roughly less than 10 times since April 31, 2010

I don't recall turning my iPad off since I bought it last month. Don't think I will either.

Every time I want to turn on cellular data. :/

I've had mine since launch day last year and I don't remember ever turning it off.

I'd encourage weekly shutdowns. A Genius told observed that some errant backgrounding apps can be remedied with a reboot.

Last time my iPad was off I was taking it out of the box.

Once every week or so i reboot. I never just turn it off and leave it- moots the whole point of instant on if i want to wait for something to boot up, i'll go get on my laptop

 

[erayser]

I don't really power down, but I usually reboot if an app I commonly use gets an update, or after installing a new app. There are some apps where the developers recommend rebooting after installing/updating... so I made that a habit.

I turn off my iPad at least 1 time a month, maybe 2. My iPhone on the other hand, maybe 6 times total in the 3 years I have owned it. (2G still running like a champ)

[jdcell100]

Never
