We bought the iPad in September last year. Our first one lasted about 2 years despite us buying a screen protector and a super expensive cover. I figured out that iPad probably will just last about 2 years and didn't take special care when we bought the 2nd iPad. I got its cover from the pasar malam stall and didn't even bother about the screen protector.
This iPad works fine for us until the Taiwan trip. We bought the iPad along but didn't at all play with it while in Taiwan except on the last day, on the flight back home. Lil Isaac was playing games in the plane and it was a shaky flight. At one point, the iPad dropped to the floor and there were some minor cracks. Ouch... but we could still live with the small cracks.
I put tape over the minor cracks. I was worried that somebody's finger might get hurt. Then, earlier this week, Lil Shauna called me in the office to inform that Lil Isaac had dropped the iPad again and the screen was badly damaged. Clever popo made Lil Shauna called me to deliver the bad news. She probably figured out that I wouldn't get too angry over the small messenger. Win already.
When I was home, I saw that the damage was super extensive. Sob. Poor iPad. I was considering repairing it depending on how deep it would hurt our pockets.
We sent it to one of those ah beng repair shops this evening. It cost us $180 to change a new screen. And yes, our iPad had been resuscitated. Yeah, I can chase my K drama again. Haha.
