OK Then, I pulled this off the original thread so not to hijack it.

OK then, SOMEONE...bought a brand new iPad Air for her school work (don't know what work you can do on those things but anyway). Nice device and great screen. I notice it sitting on the kitchen counter so I opened it up and fired it up. Got prompt for configuration like when that recent service pack went out. So I closed it and didn't think about it. About a week later, I notice it still sitting there. I open it again, battery is dead, plug it in and a little later check it, still getting the setup prompt like before. I close it and leave it again. About a week later I pick it up again, still same, she hasn't touched it. This has been 3 weeks like this!
So...we had to go out of town for a Doc appointment last week so I thought I'd grab that one instead of mine because it has data service on it. I fire it up and notice how dirty the screen is, so I cleaned it, and cleaned, and cleaned, then I notice those spots are not dirt.
They are SCRATCHES! DEEP scratches. Like SOMEONE, placed something in the case between the glass and keyboard, something like, oh I don't know, a SPIRAL BOUND NOTEBOOK :frantic !
Really I don't know what it was but the quotes I've gotten have been $180-200 for repair. Of course I don't have Applecare on it because it cost...$100...
I was thinking I'll try to buff it out, I got the sanding pads and polish but like I said, these are really deep scratches.
