This is true. I don't know why people are always down on Best Buy and the Geek Squad. They offer an invaluable service... great insight and recommendations that are always in the customer's best interest.
You didn't think I was serious did you?
Well of couse he said that to you! He was trying to sell you a screen protector for $40! Haha what else was he gonna tell you, that the iPad 2 is actually pretty scratch resistant and that the glass they use for it is really sturdy?
Actually I'm not sure if any of that is true, but I wouldn't trust BB employee.
This video might help you see what the iPad 2 glass is actually like.
And I personally use a smart cover

Would have called his bluff and brought him over to their display models to see the scratches on them....
Nope, seeing as the display one at the apple store looks filthy from use, I decided there were better ways to spend money on my iPad. It only covers the front, and the interior ends up touching whatever you put it on when used as a stand. I am going to get something from a third party instead. I see the smart cover as a novelty and nothing more.
Yes he was!
I recently bought a case for my iPad 2 at a Verizon store. The sales rep gave me an instant 25 per cent off, which was great considering I'm not a current Verizon customer. He also tried to sell me a screen protector and when I showed no interest in that, he walked over and showed me this iPad 2 with a nice scratch on the screen. His claim was that the screen scratches easily.
I still did not buy the screen protector!

my brother used to work at Best Buy, he used to pick me up Zagg covers for my iphone for $7. Those were like $20-25. So I am assuming the iPad Zagg's run Best Buy maybe $10 or so, so they are getting $30 off you. Now that he doesn't work there I go with Amazon. I got an ipad2 full body for $28 on there.
You should've gone for Best Skin Ever.
Why pay $28 for a skin + soap water + squeeze + nice package when you can get just the skin for $19 (or less when they have coupon)?
I got mine for $15.
I've used IS before on my iPhone 3G and compared to BSE their cutting at the corners was bad making it easy to peel off and collect dust.
Never, ever, ever, under no circumstance listen to the guy at Best Buy.. You'd do better just calling your mother or grandmother and asking them about the iPad.. They will likely know more..
Pun intended.

ive been hearing good things about the best skin ever, but ive had so much experience with zagg, I have them on all my computers iphones etc...they just work well.....maybe next go round I will try the best skin ever....
I worked at best buy for about 3 months, the management was up our a** so much about necessities and accessories that many workers would tell you things just to get you to buy it. I ended up walking out of that job lol
I'm with ya. Never had a screen protector on my and wipe it down several times a day..never been scratched. Very durable..
95% of the people who work at Best Buy are idiots.
"Oh no, we don't work on commission, there's no pressure to buy anything!"
Liars. They may not get commission, but the pressure to buy $75 HDMI cables, $400 Black Tie Protection plans, $40 screen "protectors" and whatnot is outrageous.

what about warranties guys? he wanted me to get a 3 year warranty for 300 or so dollars...yeah, no

Yeah... Don't do that. They tried to sell me the same for my MBP when I got it there. I said "no thank you. I just came here to pick up this MBP and mini-displayport adapter. That is all." And he said "alright. Fine. Your total comes out to be $1200 (or something like that)."
Haha their warranty = crap. I bought a 80GB iPod video when they first came out with that size, and the girl at the counter asked if I wanted a warranty. I asked what it covered, and she said "Everything. If it breaks on it's own, we cover it. If you drop it and the screen breaks, we cover it. If you throw it at a wall, we'll cover it." I assumed that the last part was exaggeration, but decided that for 60 bucks, I might as well do it (I was 15 at the time. I assumed that warranty = insurance.)
Turns out that when your screen gets broken by a banana chair(... little brothers...) and you take it in to get a replacement, they'll tell you that your warranty doesn't cover accidental damage, just normal wear and tear. So basically, if they sell me a piece of crap and I get a warranty, they'll replace it, even though the manufacturer's warranty will most likely replace it because most faulty products will be faulty within the first 90 days.
I haven't bought a product from Best Buy since then. If you don't cover accidental damage, fine, but don't sell me lies.
