Okay, so I ordered an iPad Air 2, despite what I had read about the sound vibration on the screen.

Everything I have read is true, the volume is a lot louder than previous models and with the thinner case, there is a LOT of vibrations from the volume on the screen.

I watch a lot of tv on my iPad so I am loving the louder volume. No more need for a supplemental speaker (which is what i do with my ipad 2). Usually when I am watching my iPad is sitting on the counter in its leather case, so the vibration is not an issue unless I need to touch the screen to pause the show and there is only minimal contact.

And mostly when I'm typing I am not using an app with the sound going. So I don't know that the vibration would bother me much when I have a lot of screen time.

What do others think about this issue? I'll planning on keeping this machine for 4 years so I don't want to be hating it and wanting to replace it in a year.
