I dented the back of my iPad 1.

Aggghhh!!! I put a dent into the back of my iPad 1.

I keep it in a sturdy leather case that I thought was bullet proof. Unfortunately I dropped it from waist height onto concrete steps. The back of the iPad now has a deep three inch dent in the top right corner and the edge at the volume control is slightly mangled. The iPad still works fine.

Just how weak is the back of these things? Checking the internet, denting the back seems to be a common accident.

Maybe open it and pound the dent back out? It must be out of warranty by now (being a version 1).

Does it still work?

Yes, it works fine. Except now the screen is flashing subliminal messages that I should buy an iPad 2.

Close - but I think RCR actually needs this one http://fixapplenow.com/repairs/ipad/...placement.html...unless he followed those subliminal messages already.

So you dented the back of something which you never see anyways because you keep it in a case and it still works perfectly fine?
/sigh
