That is a really shady thing to do. If you did something like I promise that they'd file a claim and you'd be out an iPad and the money. You really aren't a good person.
 
My husband got me my iPad for my birthday and kept the engraving secret until I got it.

Engraving reads:

Thank you in advance for letting me borrow this.

This thread should be titled : funny things to engrave on your iPad.

I dont have nothing, never really thought about it, but now when i think about it , if i had it engraved it would be the same as my tattoo, and thats a musical note. I dont think it would hurt the resale value either. Maybe it could even raise the price if i would put some clever marketing over it heh.

mine is still on the way and i chose not to engrave, but if i DID, i would have put: "if you're reading this...then you're using it wrong"
 
I would say resale value is deterimined by how witty the engraving is, it doesn't have to impact the value if it's actually funny.

Jeez, can I have your eBay username? I'd like to avoid any future business!

What? I sure as hell know I'd be pi$$ed if I bought an iPad from someone online only to find that it had some random crap engraved on it.
 
I was thinking of engraving mine (ipad 2) then i thought of the all issues things.

What is there is an hardware issue, would apple accept to take it back and give me a new one?
i was thinking of putting my mom's name, then i thought silly.
What if i want to resell it one day" maybe if i have a proverb, people won't mind but a name? NO WAY. I will not buy something that has a name myself.

Conclusion: DON'T ENGRAVE!!! KEEP IT AS NATURAL AS IT WAS INTENDED.


OK I THINK I WILL ENGRAVE IT. "U MUST BE THE CHANGE U WISH 2 U IN THE WORLD"
i wonder if apple will take it back if i decide to return it within the 14 days
