What I mean is on the back of my new iPad, if I shine it in a light, I can see tiny vertical lines all over the iPad. It's only visible in direct sunlight, or in a well lighted area. Is this normal since it's brushed aluminum?
Got a tip for us?

Haven't seen any, but then again I don't shine bright lights on my iPad. I typically just turn it on and use it. Like now. ;-)
Yes, it does. It's the nature of brushed aluminium. However I think you're using the wrong side... turn it over and use the side with greasy finger marks all over it instead...

....but under bright light not only does it have vertical lines but horizontal lines too.

Yeah, these show up in landscape mode.
