Due to the amount of time I spend on my ipad and its extreme battery life, I've only turned it off 4 times total for a round trip airplane, they made me turn it off for takeoff and landing:(

Just for clarification, I'm talking about completely off not just put to sleep
 
I turn mine off at night. Usually I can go 3 or 4 days before charging depending on how much I use 3G.
 
once a week. just to clean the ipad screen. i want that screen to look clean and beautiful.
 
From what I can remember maybe 5. But with SBSettings I reboot at least once a day.
 
I assume that everybody is talking about the "off" button on the end. If so, I turn it off every time that I'm done using it which would be several times a day since April 3rd.

There's a difference between sleep and off
When you push the button it goes to sleep, to power down you have to hold it and then slide the red bar to turn it off
 
I have never turned it off. My BlackBerry Storm2 on the other hand needs to be turned off and on (a full 7 minute process) at least once a day... damn VZW and Apple for not having iPhone on Verizon :( (If you're going to suggest going droid - it's exactly what I'm doing if iPhone doesn't come when my 2-yr expires)
 
Never even knew about turning it completely off until reading this thread. So before reading...none...now...once...and most likely never again. :cool:

Did you turn it off completely, or just did the "sleep" thing?
