Just ordered one off of Amazon for $50 based on stellar reviews. Anyone have any experiences with this?

I saw a YouTube video where I guy threw his out a 2nd floor and right onto cement and it had no dents/scratches and worked perfectly fine.

Well duh, you can wrap anything in 2" of plastic/rubber and toss it 2 stories on concrete and it will survive.

I'll provide the plastic and rubber, as well as the second story and concrete, you provide your body and lets test this! :D

I will note that nothing is perfect. Just because it says it will protect it doesn't mean it necessarily will, iPads (and iPhones) generally break no matter what when enough force hits their edges. Dropping it on the front or back is fine, the force is spread evenly across, but enough force on the sides and it cracks the glass.

Just play it safe ;).

I just got the case and I don't have any real issues other than that the screen protector causes the screen resolution to look almost like an iPad 2 so I had to remove it. Thankfully there was a mixup with amazon and it looks like I may get the case for free. $100 to $50 to $0 = win.
