Do you find yourself being slammed on your face.
Does it just drop down in front of you ?
Does your finger slides on the display and fast forward your pages ?

Remember it is at least twice as havy as a normal book. dropping it on the face is not that pleasent:):):)

Any experience you have will be welcomed

I had that happen to me a few times while I had my ipad before I returned it lol Still have that issue with my iphone, luckily thats a lot lighter and smaller so it usually just falls on my chest, rather than my face lol
 
I was lying on my side, holding it in landscape, but locked in portrait mode. Fell asleep browsing the web and it fell over and the corner smacked my eye.

Not a happy bunny haha
 
I fell asleep with it one time, and when I did it fell on my chest and woke me up. I try to put it up if I get real drowsy so it doesn't happen too often.
 
I'm too giddy to fall asleep when I use it... It's like electric cocaine or something (hyperbole?.... Yes :D)
 
I've fallen asleep in a recliner while holding the iPad with both hands. When my wife comes out and finds me that way, she tries to put the iPad away for me. I say try, because apparently (I never remember), I put up a fight.

Picture the opening scene in Young Frankenstein where the guy is trying to pull "The Book" from the Baron's corpse's bony fingers death grip. :p
 
Luckily I know when I'm falling asleep and I put it away before doing something painful :lol:

I tend to lay on my back, with my iPad resting on my chest. More than once I have almost taken out my front teeth. So, yeah...I put it away when I get tired. But it is so tempting to take the thing everywhere and try to push a bit more of whatever for the day.
 
When I fall asleep, the ipad falls onto my chest. However, I'm also sitting with my back against the arm of the couch.

Oh man, THAT would be painful hahaha. Mine goes to bed with me, and I have a shelf at my head, so, I just place it up there, turn over and zonk out. :)
 
I was a little drunk and I decided to take my ipad to my bed with me. I was also looking at in portrait mode with it locked. I just passed out. Woke up with the ipad as a pillow with a little drool on it. No harm done. Could have been alot worse.
