We have the original iPad and two of the “new” iPads, all in 16 GB wifi. Space-wise, we have been fine because we don’t store a lot of multi-media on the devices. They are mostly used for e-mail, browsing, magazine reading and some games.
They are very durable, but I would strongly suggest a cover or sleeve of some sort, most especially if you will be transporting it a great deal. Spills and scratches happen and the iPad is a significant investment. We have Oberon covers on all of ours, and they are terrific, but not your cheapest option. There are lots of choices out there in every price range. If you have a Red Target card, you could receive 5% off your purchase – I am pretty sure this would also apply to an iPad, but I can’t confirm for certain. All of ours were purchased directly from Apple.
Our first generation iPad has a black bezel; the newest ones are in white. I like both pretty equally, but to be honest, with the cover on it does not make much difference because that part of the device is pretty much covered anyway. If I had to make a choice I think I would go with the white, but you might want to check them both for comparison as some folks seem to have strong preferences for one over the other.
Ours are engraved (one was a gift). As we plan to hand them down to family members, we aren’t particularly concerned about the resale market.
