IPad 1 seal coming out?

I have an iPad 1 and the rubber around the seal is coming out in 3 places, all on the corners. I noticed the worst one today, it is sticking out quite noticeably and there is a gap under it. There is also a bulge outwards in the metal by the orientation switch. The iPad was purchased in July 2010, and it is 6 months out of warranty, and it has been put through some pretty heavy wear and tear, and has had the corners knocked a fair amount. Is there any way to put the seal back in, or any other solutions? I really can't afford to buy a new one and this needs to last me another 2 years (ambitious I know.)

If there is a way, you will probably find it here.

  • IPad 1 - rubber seal coming out

    Having a rather serious problem with my iPad 1 - the aluminum frame seems to have gotten 'bent' in such a way that the glass is now pressed tightly against two corners and loosely against the other two - and at the bottom left corner the rubber seal itself has started to come out. I can even stick my thumbnail under it. On the opposite (top right) it's not quite so bad, but I can see the seal starting to twist. The complication to all this is that there are a myriad of stratches and even two slight dents in the back. Probably not 'perfect care', eh?
    Do you think this should warrant a visit to the Apple Store? Would this be under warranty? (1-year through September 2011)
    Thanks in advance,
    Liam

    Okay. One thing I assume you meant the Genius bar, or is there another level I haven't heard of.
    If they replace it that would be great. I don't think even they could 'repair' it, seeing as the aluminum itself is bent. :/ Otherwise, looks like I'm out of luck. Use it until it actually craps out, then iPad 2 here I come...

  • Is there really a Ipad 3 coming out next month?

    I heard there is an Ipad3 set to come out the first of February. Is it true?

    Sorry, but no one outside of Apple knows anything about future product releases, and Apple has not at this time announced any new models of iPad. Anything anyone here would post would be pure speculation which isn't allowed here (the Communities are for technical support on existing products). There are a number of rumor sites which you can read, but as to whether any rumors they report have any validity, your guess will be as good as ours.

  • My ipad is frozen with a black screen with a picture of a cord leading to the itunes logo.i tried to shut it down and the app;e icon comes out but again the cord leading to the itunes icon keeps on coming out. what should i do ?

    My ipad is frozen with a black screen with a picture of a cord leading to the itunes icon. i tried to shut down my ipad but the turn off icon wont show instead the itunes icon with the cord keeps coming out everytime i open my ipad. what should i do ? and i dont want to lose my pictures, videos and other documents in my ipad please help me ....

    I hope you have a backup if you don't want to lose your iPad contents. You have to restore the iPad now using iTunes on your computer. That's what the message on the screen means.
    Take a look at this.

    Apple has not announced any new versions of the iPad mini. And we, your fellow users, are not allowed to speculate in these forums. We'll just have to wait and see.

  • When is the iPad mini 2 coming out ?

    When is the iPad mini 2 coming out ?

    No way to know. Apple has not announced anything about a Second Generation Mini at this time.  When they do you can bet it will be posted everywhere.
    Personally I'd wait for their customary media event in September, we'll likely hear about it then if its being planned at all.

    This is an iPad user to user forum. Apple doesn't read or respond. We have no way to know what and when Apple will do something. You'll have to wait for an announcement by Apple.

  • With the new ipad coming out soon, why should I buy the ipad 2?

    with the new ipad coming out soon, why should I buy the ipad 2?

    I can only echo what Pogo says about buying based on what it does today.
    3 weeks ago I bought a Mac Mini. A new Mac Mini model has been rumoured to come out anywhere between the same week I made my purchase and the end of August. None's been released as yet.
    I wanted one in the week of June that I bought mine so I bought it based on the fact that it did what I wanted and I couldn't imagine anything which could be added that I'd want - my MacBook Pro doesn't have Thunderbolt so the most likely addition isn't really going to be much use for me.
    Basically you have to buy what you what based on what's out at the the time.
    I can promise that within seconds of the iPad3 being released, the web will be full of rumours about the next one!
