I resisted buying an iPad for years and now I wonder why! I am impressed with the battery life, build quality, and more...

And, to me this begs the question, just how tough are they? Do they really need a plastic case or can they handle a fair amount of rugged treatment? It will only be me, and I am somewhat graceful, but I want to throw it in the car on the go and around. I know it will get jostled around and it will take some tumbles here and there eventually--at least in the car.

Should I worry about a plastic cover to add impact resistance around the corners or will I just be adding to the landfill and future plastic legacy!?!
