The Monkey Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Of course he dropped it today, but fortunately nothing happened, not even a dent. However, it means it is now time to invest in a more substantial case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Dinny, My wife found her mini to be really slippery and ended up getting a hard shell/smart cover combo. I think it's a case made by Speck and the smart cover is the offical Apple version. She likes it quite a bit, other than the mini smart cover not being nearly as functional as the full sized version due to the cloth hinge.

Aimless1 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 I have a case (amazon ??) that you can have but I would recommend the zoo goo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvdunhill Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 ^I will definitely be getting a retina mini. Me too depending on battery life. I much prefer the mini to its larger sibling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Actually I heard on the radio there's a good chance that Obama could overrule. Wouldn't that be something? Isn't "being an Apple fanboi" an impeachable offense? He should still hurry up and get AppleCare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappyjones123 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Apple care cover accidental damage in the instance that you pay $100 upfront. And then if it breaks they give you a new iphone for $150. Can be done twice only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 ^ yeah, it's recent change with AppleCare+. IIRC, the traditional AppleCare is now gone for iPhone/iPad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappyjones123 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 I was told that when I purchased an iPhone 5 last year. However the 150 only fixes the screen. To pay another 100 to account for any other failures seems worth it but again, what happens if nothing else breaks. Seems like a better idea to not get apple care anymore.

VPI Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 I have never had Apple not give me a new replacement for stuff I broke. Laptop, iPad, batteries well after the end of warranty. I never even have AppleCare. You guys are obviously doing something wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Next time I break something from Apple, I'm going to send it you, Jeff, to take it to Apple Store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappyjones123 Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 I think it might be with the number of apple products you own Jeff. . Maybe they want good stories like yours coming out of their flagship store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wmcmanus Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 (edited) I have never had Apple not give me a new replacement for stuff I broke. Laptop, iPad, batteries well after the end of warranty. I never even have AppleCare. You guys are obviously doing something wrong. Same with me. Every time I've ever had a problem, I just walk in and they take care of it. "Oh, that new screen will cost you $900. No, sorry, it's not covered under AppleCare. But let me see what I can do for you, Santa." It does have its perks...but I did get the 3-year AppleCare coverage on my new 15" MBP Retina, just to be safe. I know it's not exactly a "news flash" but the retina resolution is crazy good. I ran an HDMI cable from the laptop to the 50" Panasonic VT25 that's in the bedroom of my motorhome. The TV is so close to my viewing position that my feet can touch the bottom of it, and I've always loved watching movies in there for the full immersion effect it has. Didn't think it could be any better. Nope! I was wrong. The retina display blows it away, and I'd imagine that would still be true with the latest and greatest plasma displays (realizing, of course, that the VT25 is no longer the end game). Makes me wonder how the retina display would compare to a ZT60. Edited September 29, 2013 by Wmcmanus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMoney Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 I'm pretty excited about the retina mini. With the A7 it should be a big upgrade both in form factor and performance from the 3rd Gen Retina-pad I am upgrading from. Gotta hand it to apple on their updates to the big ipad too. While some thought they might launch it with some sort of A7x chip with extreme performance, they took the alternate route and decided to chop down the thickness and weight (presumably by chopping down the battery). This was probably the right move. I'm a bit surprised to see that we don't have gold versions of the ipads like with the 5s. After all, we all know that gold is best.

shellylh Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 I really want to get the retina ipad mini (it would be great for an everyday carry around and to use on the spinning bike or rower at the gym). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 I don't know. They both crossed the threshold of not erring in any particular fashion egregiously (by my criteria). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
