Easily done in the dark,
That's what she said
Sorry couldn't resist
Not to worry you were on topic. Worrying about something like that qualifies for being anal.

Hope your not referring to me. I don't care about the dent as long as the mic and screen are fine. I have taken two back. First one had a dead pixel, second one kept droping wifi every 5 minutes. So far this iPad has had no problems and for some reason I think the dent is cool. If it was a dent I caused, I would be mad about it. To me a defect is kind of cool to have if it doesn't effect function.
The only thing i would do is go in and get it documented so that they don't try to deny service in the future based on it looking like it was abused.
I took my Speck Candy shell off to check mine and i don't have a dent. I think i have what the other guys has, but I'd have to break out the macro lens or a magnifying glass to check
Looking at that picture on the previous page, it almost looks as though the mic hole has been drilled and then countersunk. But on the other hand, I'm by no means a qualified metalworker.

Well, I have no idea what your talking about but it sounds good. lol!
I did notice I dont have the ring around the mic hole that someone else's pics had.
You can take that 2 ways
Obviously the 2nd way was over some peoples heads. Good analogy

Drilled, chamfered, bead blasted. Holes in the case appear broached. The connector slot is nicely chamfered.
The shell itself appears to be press formed, chemically etched, bead blasted, and then given a light anodize.
The temper condition is probably fairly low but I don't feel like acid and spark testing my device to determine the alloy. It's probably 6000 series and based on the denting reports, F condition on temper. Basically dead soft for a 6k series alloy.
