I question there insistence on using use an aluminum back, which not only easily scratches but easily dents as mine has on more than one occasion. Really really dumb.
Second really dumb thing is designing a case that leaves this first dumb design decision exposed to scratching and denting. At least the first case protected the underside as well as the screen.
You complain about the case, but it seems you never used the first one either (since you have dropped it and got dents and such). So why are you complaining? Also, if it is not enough protection for you, I am sure there will be PLENTY of other options out there for you. But no, you go on "stickin' it" to Apple. They deserve the hate.
Also, I suppose since they have all these displays already and probably on order for years to come, they saw no reason to do one dam thing about the total inability if using this device outdoors in sunlight. Oh, gee we forgot about that? Big drawback for many people. The exact reason I keep a Sony reader on hand for the beach and outdoor reading.
Personally I NEVER use mine outdoors but I can see how it would be a problem for some. But seriously, how often is this? I mean, why would you bring an e-reader to the beach? In almost ANY situation I can think of that I would use something like an iPad, I would not be outdoors directly in the sunlight. If I am at the beach, I am enjoying the day and the sights, not burying my face in an eReader.
What else, oh, why no memory upgrade, what? we want to keep the price the same, what a load of BS? I would have loved to see a 128 version which would have come in at over a grand I know but many of us would have been interested in going for that.
OMG WHAT A LOAD OF BS! BBBBBBSSS!! SCRWE YOU AAPLE YOU ARE ALL A BUNCH OF BABY BS'ERS!
God, do you actually read back to yourself what you write? You sound like a whiney little baby. You might be disappointed about some of their decisions, understandably. But is it that serious to you?
I am sure there is a market for a high-end 128gb or more tablet. But I bet you the majority of iPad users do not need that much space nor have they come even close to using all the space they currently have. You're not the only one this affects, so stop acting like your opinion and needs are the norm.
Oh, and with the swing of an ax they virtually eliminated and rendered almost every Ipad accessory, useless, not one case will fit this model. That must make the accessory people totally crazy, now they have to make all new models, OMG what a PIA Apple is for these third party accessory folks!
Are you serious? Seriously??? Name me ONE tablet maker, cell phone maker, etc, that does not change the physical form of their products with each new iteration. Apple are not the only ones that do this and really, what does it matter? The case makers and such know this is part of the trade. They also would not be making ANYTHING if it were not for the iPads and phones and whatever else they accessorize. Lastly, you babycry about Apple so much that you are sticking up for case developers? Haha god, you haters leave no stone unturned.
