How rough can i be with my ipad?

oh, i didn't realise it's flexible.

It's extremely flexible! If you polish the screen and look at the iPad on an angle, while laying it on a flat surface, you'll notice its not hard to bend the glass with your finger.

Look at this also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4vvQq7BpiE

Look at how flexible the iPad 2 glass is. (even the original iPad's isn't too bad)

^This. Apple products have tremendous resale value. While I get made fun of a lot by friends and co workers for using cases and screen protectors, I'm the one who gets to resell his iPhones and iPads and only pay a minimum for the new models. I am pretty particular too, don't get me wrong, but it's mostly about resale for me.

You are 100% correct. That is why I baby my Apple products I have never had to pay more than a few bucks every time I have upgraded iPhones. You can also upgrade your computer every few years for a nominal price too.
