Remains of the Day: Cruising altitude

24.05.2011

What happens when you drop your shiny new iPad 2 onto concrete? Well, if you're a Smart Cover owner, the news is pretty good, according to tests by independent warranty provider SquareTrade: Apple's magnetic accessory will take the brunt of the impact. By contrast, an unprotected model shattered in four places. That's all well and good, but I still prefer my safety procedure, which involves attaching to the iPad's back. Take that, universe.
