Is thr ipad 2 screen easily scratched?
im kinda worried because i have a screen protector and i had my daughter play fruit ninja, and once shes done playing, i have a scratch on the screen protector but the scratch is kinda deep because i can feel it when my finger passes through it, do you think it may have gone through my screen protector?

I thought the iPad screen was scratch proof?
I thought the iPad was scratch proof yet mine has a scratch/dent on the screen. Will apple do something about this?
Copied from Apple's iPad technical specs web site.
Retina display
9.7‑inch (diagonal) LED-backlit Multi‑Touch display with IPS technology
2048-by-1536 resolution at 264 pixels per inch (ppi)
Fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating

The screen is fingerprint resistant, not scratch proof. IF ... You can convince Apple that the screen was damaged when you took it out of the box, they may replace the device for you. You would have to contact Apple and show the device to a genius at an Apple Store for starters. -
IPhone 6 screen easily scratched?
Have been taking EXTREMELY good care of my 6+, but the corners already have visible scratches. Anyone else experiencing this?

Well I just got back from a "Genius" appointment.
Showed the chap the phone and explained the problem.
He says "oh dear, yeah cosmetic damage is not covered under the warranty".
I show him my 4s and five year old touch, which have very few scratches. I ask why my 6 is so susceptible to scratches.
He said, "I've had an iPhone 6 for a week too and mine doesn't have any scratches".
I pointed out that maybe his doesn't have the same production fault as mine.
"sorry, cosmetic damage is not covered by the warranty"
I lost my patience around then and left"
I hope anyone else who tries gets a more intelligent response.
It seems the official response is to blame the customer.
Im absolutely disgusted!
He gave you a very intelligent response. Cosmetic damage has never been covered under Apple's warranty.
Why did you not put the iPhone into a case or use a screen protector? -
My 8-hour-old-iPhone-4 doesn't have any these... Has anyone seen these issues?
My phone has camera problems... the lens won't open (even after multiple restore and resets).

My ipad screen left a deep scratch whilst playing a game how do I get rid of It
My ipad screen left a deep scratch whilst playing a game how do I get rid of It
You can't without replacing the screen, which is expensive. How did it get the deep scratch? You probably should have put a screen protector on it.

Scratch on my 4 day old iPad screen
Hi guys,
I've somehow managed to get what I think is an inch long "U" shaped scratch on my 32GB iPad screen - 2 inches in from the back bezel; it may be a crack though - hard to tell. I've been incredibly careful with my new iPad (It's only 5 days old), I've been using a slip case and not even putting it down on tables without first putting something soft down for it to sit on.
Bit gutted really - Apple don't seem to sell screen protectors through Apple stores, and they had sold out of the official Apple case. Was told these things are basically scratch proof so pretty shocked to see such a deep scratch seemingly from no-where. I've had my current iPhone for about 18months with no case in my pocket with keys and coins and have nothing nearly as horrendous as this scratch on my iPad.
I've called Apple support and they told me that doesn't sound normal and have booked me into speak to a Genius this evening to check the device for defects.
Just wanted to ask if anyone else has had similar experience and if they had a resolution.
I've been having a pretty bad run of luck recently, so I thought I'd treat myself to a new toy - and it's been a fantastic device the past few days, but now worried that it's a little more fragile than people are being lead to expect, and that I'm going to pick up more damage before the device is even a month old...
Will report back after I talk to the guys at the Genius bar later tonight.I learned my lesson, I slide my ipad only a couple inches on a wooden table and scratched the back side. If I were you I'd get a boxwave antiglare screen protector for the front. and a zaggs back protector for the back. I found this combination to be a really good way to keep your stuff protected. I really don't recommend using zaggs screen protector because its rubbery... it makes it difficult to swipe and stuff on the screen. BoxWave's is pretty smooth and really reduces on the glare/fingerprints.
Good luck!

I have had my iPad since December and have always been careful with it, cleaned it regularly etc.
But just recently 3 deep scratches have appeared on my screen and they distort the image below them. I have been looking for a protector screen for it but apple doesn't sell them and no computer type stores near me do either.
Has anyone had the same problem and if so, did you go to the genius bar? And what did they make of it?The Genius Bar will do nothing, scratches are user damage and are not covered by warranty.
If they were not there when you got the device then you are responsible for the damage.
Amazon sell iPad screen protectors, just use Google. -
DOES THE IPAD SCREEN SHATTER EASILY?
I have had my IPAD for 3 months and love it! I travel a lot and use it for business. I have a carrying case which is well padded and the other day when I returned from a business trip I opened up my case and found that my IPAD screen was shattered on the upper left hand side. I then called APPLE to find out that I would have to pay over $500.00 for a refurbished IPAD. Is this common? I am a big user of APPLE products and currently have a APPLE home system and a IPHONE and have been happy with these products but not to pleased with what happened the other day to my IPAD...
Glass breaks if not handled appropriately. Whether it be a drinking glass, spectacles, a window, a TV screen or whatever.
It is not at all common for the screen to shatter under normal use, but if something heavy hits the glass, it is dropped or pressure is put on it, then any glass may break. It's certainly not a problem inherent to the iPad.
Accidental damage is not covered by the manufacturers warranty. -
Screen too soft..easily scratches?
I have had my Sony Xperia Tablet Z now for just a few weeks. It's my first tablet after many years of owning smart phones. I have never needed a screen protector on any of my devices. The standard materials used on my devices have always coped with my normal use and not resulted in any noticeable permanent scratch marks on their screens.
It is with utter disappointment that I noticed this morning that my Sony Tablet Z, after just 3 weeks of careful use, has permanent scratches all over the screen surface . I noticed these by holding the tablet at an angle to a light source while switched off.
My real concern is that I have so many scratches after careful handling and only 3 weeks of use, the tablet hasn't even left the house yet. I paid for the confidence that comes with the Sony brand having owned many Sony products over the years and found them to be durable and reliable and built using quality materials. That confidence has been damaged now since I believe the material used for the screen on this tablet to be too soft to cope with normal use where other devices from other manufacturers have coped just fine.
I have heard that the glass screen is scratch resistant but that Sony place a soft film over the top holding the Sony logo which is not resistant. Is this true? If so, is it possible to remove it to expose the hard durable glass surface underneath?
I am intending to return the product and get a replacement and buy the screen protector, but this will be the first device i have owned that has needed this and in my opinion something Sony need to review to improve product quality. Since most smart phone and tablets come with gorilla glass (or equivalent) as standard I assumed this was the case.. it sadly appears not and looks like a screen protector is an absolute must for this device.
I would be interested to hear if others have experienced screen damage after just a few weeks of normal use too?
There are also major supply issues in the UK for accessories for this tablet as of July 2013. I ended up leaving the tablet behind on a business trip to Switzerland because I was unable to source a case for it in the UK only to find that a Sony Centre in Switzerland had plenty in stock. No screen protectors were available either.
Other than that and a few YouTube lockups I have found the tablet to be meeting and exceeding all my expectations. Just wish Sony had put gorilla glass on it.Sorry to hear that you've got scratches on your tablet.
The display on the tablet uses the same solution as most of our phones, a scratch-resistant glass with an anti shatter film (ASF) on top. The ASF is made of plastic and is not as scratch-resistant as the glass.
I do not recommend that you remove the ASF (doing so would also void the warranty for the display and the ASF can't be replaced). It's recommended that you put a screen protector on top of the ASF.
I've tried to scratch my tablet using my fingernails but even though i press so hard that my fingers hurt it doesn't leave a mark. You must have really strong fingernails

Keeping the iPad screen smudge-free
Hi everyone, can you tell me how YOU keep your iPad screen clean? Mine gets very smudged with fingerprints in an instant. I have a cover for it, but still... what should I use? Look forward to speedy, helpful replies,,, ta.

JosephineCharlotte ~ This anti-glare film claims to reduce the visual impacts of glare *+and finger printing+* while providing scratch protection:
http://www.powersupportusa.com/product/show/ipad-antiglare-film
Or try following this advice:
"It isn’t the iPad – it’s you. I was having the same problem. So many smudges, it was making me sick to think my fingertips were so greasy. But after using it for 3 weeks now, I’ve realized, I’ve been touching it too hard. It only needs a very light tap, way lighter than you think. Way, way, way lighter. Try usIng the most gentle touch you can imagine. I mean, the barest, almost not touching, little tiny tap. And try using the very tip of your finger, not the pad. Jut the tip, right beneath the fingernail, not the fingerprint part. Same was with scrolling. Don’t drag your fingertip, just barely flick it. Reduces smudges by 90 per cent." (Source)

How do export a double page spread photo to epub and fill an ipad screen?
I'm completely new to indesign. I'm using XP and Indesign CS6. I'm testing my epub on the new IPad 3.
I've published numerous books in print form with major publishing house in the US. I need to quickly get a copy of the book in epub format for publication on the ipads. Maybe later for the nook, etc. Eventually I will want to design new ebooks from scratch.
We are scanning the book spreads [photos and text together a double page spread] and want to show those spreads on the ipad as a single horizontal image with no page gutter. We've placed those jpg spreads in indesign as a double page spread. When we publish to epub it does not show as a double page spread. It only shows up as a horizontal image on either the left or right side of a vertical book [gutter layout] view on the ipad. It never spreads out to fill the entire ipad screen. What simple thing are we missing?
Thanks so much
Dwight"The" iPad does not exist as a target, so I'm assuming you mean you export to a regular ePub and are viewing it using iBooks.
iBooks is page-agnostic. ePubs do not support the notion of "left-right" pages. In fact, iBooks is the only ePub viewer I am aware of that even tries to show "two" pages at a time.
Re-design your document so each image appears on its own page. -
*Microfiber cloth* works great, it requires only a light touch and cleans off all the fingerprints quickly and easily.
I tried eye glass cleaning cloth, liquid cleaner and tissues. The microfiber is 100 times better.Absolute best way to clean the iPad screen is dry, with the 3M Scotch Brite High Performance Cleaning Cloth. The cloth costs $3-4, but it is a woven microfiber that pulls fingerprints and dust off like nothing else. I've tried a number of different cloths, including those that came with my HD TV, etc. The 3M flat makes 'em feel like using a paper towel (NOT recommended...). And when it gets dirty? Toss it in the washing machine.
I actually went and bought a couple spares - one for the house, one for my briefcase, and one for the office - just so I'd always have the right cloth handy. The iPad is a great device; I'd prefer it not be a great fingerprint display as well. -
My iPad screen has a red tint, anything I can do to fix this?
I'm not the greatest when it comes to taking care of my iPad, that being said. I've dropped it a few times. I've had this issue, it can be easily fixed by holding down the home button and power button for at least 30sec. If this doesn't work then repeat. This has worked for me in the past and my iPad works just fine. By doing this your resetting the LCD. Hope this helps!

My iPad screen is stuck on an alert message that is informing me that I have not backed up to iCloud in 5 weeks. How do I get pass this alert message.
I have been dealing with this problem since upgrading to ios 6. I have an old ipod touch that is still running ios 5.? that backs up daily with no problem whatsoever. I have attemped every solution posted on these help boards (i.e. deleting accounts, turning off all apps from back-up, restarting device, changing routers, attempting back-ups through different wifi spots) sometimes one or a combination of these band-aid fixes will work for a day or two, then suddenly the ipad (version 3) will simply stop backing up, and I will spend hours of frustration going through all the tedious fixes. All the while my old ipod touch running ios 5 backs up daily with no problem whatsoever. I have called Apple support and they seemed surprised that this is a problem and offer no real solution whatsoever.
Until Apple gets their head out of the sand on this one, and actually fixes the obvious bug that exists is ios 6 this problem will continue and will not be resolved. -
How do I lock my ipad screen so the swipe action and the side button on the screen do not work? When my cats play a game on my ipad, they regularly swipe the screen and push the side button and the game disappears.
The button on the top that you use to lock and unlock or put to sleep is the power button. The button lower center of the screen is the home button...can be used to also wake from sleep and switch to the base home screen.
Good to hear you are now able to lock rotation, even if you are not sure how you did it
If you go to the iBook icon, tap Store in the uppper left side of the screen, you can search for the iPad User Guide...a free download that will place the guide in your iBooks library as a great source of background information.
