OK so just curious .... I'm totally obsessed with keeping my devices pristine, so requesting pics of damaged iPads just to see what people cope with on their devices. Maybe they may cure me lol
My iPad 2 made a dive for the bathroom tiles years ago. Funny enough, it has worked for several years without problems despite looking like this, and what finally made it unuseable for anything but a kitchen music player, was iOS9.
The tape is in the corner is to keep all the splinters in place. The tape on the sides is because i react to the metal (The entire back is covered in a thin protective plastic sheet). Its replacement iPad Air 2 I fortunately do not react to.
