I bought my first iPad (woohoo) last week used on Craigslist (too good of a deal to pass on) and while it's been take good care of (and has warranty support remaining through Aug 2013), I found a few manufacturing problems with the screen. These being a dead pixel (not a big deal) and a screen with a yellow tin on the bottom 1/4 or so. There is almost no light bleed, which I was borderline shocked over, but this tint is extremely distracting when I'm reading PDFs or other text,my primary purpose for buying this tablet.
Anyway, since the nearest apple store to me is ~2 hours away, I initiated a mail-in service last night. My questions for you guys: how have your experiences been with mail in warranty service? Would it be worth waiting two or so weeks until I'll be visiting the city the apple store is located? Thanks and despite this issue, this tablet is magnificent!
Also, in your experiences, how successful have you all been with getting a unit with an even screen tone/brightness, something I consider essential for reading. (I mean heck, even my HP TouchPad has a uniform display!)
