[mjhulik]

I am trying to get an iPad 2 if I can find one and was wondering if anyone has bought one with cash at the apple store or walmart ect? Also do you all buy the apple care with it? Thanks all!

I wouldn't buy applecare until the warranty is just about to expire, if at all.

As to buying with cash, right now, I think your best bet is craigslist...

Buying with cash was only an issue at the Apple Store after they implemented the "lifetime limit" of 2 iPads when they discovered that resellers were buying with cash to get around tracking purchases. Hasn't been an issue since. And, no, you don't have to buy AppleCare ever. Should you want to purchase it you can do so at any time while your original warranty is in effect (day 1 through day 365).
