My iPad Got Scratched. Is It Too Late for Screen Protection?

  • 30 April 2010 7:09 am

I still remember how happy I was last week, when I finally got my iPad. I just loved it, so I rejected the idea of covering it with any of those bulky cases, no matter how good they may have looked. I wanted to use my iPad just as it came because I really thing Apple computers have the best design in the world. I only wanted to enjoy that. However, I should have considered (and now I have late regrets) buying an ipad screen protector before the inevitable happened.

Sorry, but I have to tell you the story, maybe I can make you understand why such expensive gadgets are better be protected. Yesterday afternoon I was sanding some glass. Yes, I haven’t told you about my new hobby yet, I’m into the stained glass art and I truly believe I’m an innate artist. So, I was sanding a big sheet of glass because I needed it for my current project which is going to successfully replace my sliding glass door window treatments which I no longer like. The iPad was on a coffee table in the workshop, but I thought it was safe because I had a very good control of all tools. I did have good control. At a point, I felt an itch on my left leg. I looked down to see what it was, thinking that could have been a drop of sweat going down my leg, finding its way through the curly hairs I’ve been gifted with. Well, the sweat drop proved to be a two-inch diameter spider with thick, hairy legs and shiny black eyes. I’m fearless, however seeing that cutie crawling down my leg had an unexpected effect on my muscles: I had an involuntary move that made the sand jet land right on my iPad.

The good part is that I’m fine and the iPad is still working. The bad part is that it’s now far from being the cool gadget it was yesterday morning and I’m afraid it will never be like that again. When I think of those military grade screen protectors like Zagg InvisibleShield I can’t tell you how sorry I am for not getting one from day one. I suppose now it’s too late. Or maybe can some of you teach me how to polish the iPad to get rid of those sanding marks?
