i guess our iPads are on the same plane/truck since they goin to the same place

Yup. I just hope my screen protector gets here before it gets here. Apple says that it does not need a screen protector but an awful lot of people are saying the screens scratch, and the apple case scratches the screen. My Zune HD and Blackberry screens do not have a scratch and their both glass and i carry them in my pockets and stuff, but im always hearing about ipod screens and iphone screens getting scratched. dont know what thats about.
 
ya. right now apples shipping procedure is screwed up. i also ordered the apple case at the same time as my iPad and it hasn't even shipped yet but its in prepared. so i cant cancel it and go buy one at the store. what screen protector are you using. i currently use my iPhone 3g without a case or screen protector and it is getting pretty scratch up since Ive had it since release day almost a year ago

power something screen protector. i ordered one friday night with standard overnight so it should be here tuesday sometime. apple usually ships their products with clean plastic on the screen. i will leave it on there till the screan protector arrives cause it seems as if your finger even has a piece of grit under it, your screen can get scratched. hopefully the screen protector comes in tuesday morning. but standard overnight usually means the afternoon so i may just leave it in the box until then.

ive used the zagg crap on blackberries and it feels weird and when your doing certain things, it isnt like regular protectors, and zagg screen protectors, because of the adhesive they use, have a bad habit of drawing in dirty and grime and good. and anyone with any sense wouldnt put a wet screen protector like the invisishield on their device because of all the sensors for humidty, which i hear are quite sensitive.
 
which kind. the anti-glare or crystal film?

Yes. Case just shipped. Supposed to be here the 11th, apple says ipad and case should be here on the 11th, fedex says both should be here on the 12. hope the protector ships monday so it can arrive tuesday.
 
ya i saw that. i think im gonna go bad ass and not use a screen protector untill i can order one online. and since my apple case wont be here for annother week after my iPad arives so i guess im gonna have to be REALLY careful

You know how when you touch the mail, or when you touch a package, especially off of a ups trouble and it feels dirty, thats what you dont want on your hands when your messing with any touch screen really, cause that grit could scratch your device. Just wash your hands i guess would be the best advice.

Like I stated bfeore, I think the company Apple uses to fabricate these devices is using substandard materials because every other device ive had from a competitor that uses glass on the touch screen is not simple to scratch. so, take it for what you will. We know almost everything that has come from china (remember the meds with the cement) or the pet food, has impurities or defects at some point or another. All I can say is when you get your device, check your display, check the bevel (as one user reported he received one and his bevel was bent), etc. Check for dead pixels, cause you may not notice them at first but one day, you look and smack dab sure enough there it is, and i think all manufacturers should be required to check for pixels, especially on televisions. thats ridiculous that you have spent 5000 on a new tv and there is dead pixels.
 
and if i do find any type of defects (DEad pixels, bend bevel etc..) how do i handel that. call apple or go to a store or what. and aslo how long do i have before they will refuse to fix it?

If you have an Apple store near you, bring it there with whatever receipt they provide you with. If you dont have an apple store, you will have to either drive or call Apple care. the closest apple storeto me is 2 hours in either direction
