I'd guess that the display might be a tiny bit more fragile, in that since it's bonded to the glass, if anything gets a crack, it's more likely to all be hosed. I also would expect thinner case to mean less durable, but not sure that it's a meaningful difference (like it'll bend with slightly less force, but in practice, will one bend and the other not?). I'm also talking out of my rear end entirely. It'll be more expensive to repair anything, in any case.

Walmart has the 10.5" iPad Pros down to $299 in-store only if your local store is fortunate enough to still have stock.

My repair shop experience is that iPads with the laminated displays (Air 2, new Air, Mini 4, new Mini, all Pros) do tend to bend easier than the ones with separate displays, probably due to the thinness. They’re also pricier to fix, since a glass replacement also requires an LCD replacement. Not that they bend on their own and break, but corner drops tend to be more serious. And once they get bent, they’re more fragile after a repair since the glass may not sit perfectly flat. If durability is a main concern, get a 5/6 or a good case for the Pro.

It’s not a concern if it’s not that fragile, I’ve never ever broken an apple product. I just saw some apparently overhyped stuff about them bending months ago and wanted to know if it’s a concern compared to other iPads.

Has anyone experience with this Pencil grip? Kaweco makes a properly good pen, so I have high hopes, but I'd like a second opinion before I fork out.

I have the new 12.9 iPad. It’s mah baby. I have a nice leather folio for it. Going camping with my kids and am gonna load some movies and bring it. Is there a recommended 20 dollar-ish protect-absolutely-everything case that I could throw it in? Just to keep it safe from drops, dirt, gravel, whatever...

I'd like to use my apple pencil to take notes, have those notes converted to text, and have that text end up in Evernote. What is the best way to do this? Can Evernote do this natively or will it require multiple apps?

I’ve never used Evernote, but the function is built into Notability. If you can’t find Evernote does it, Notability exports notes into pdf’s.

What is the actual writing experience like with the Apple Pencil (first-gen, if it matters)? How similar does it feel to writing on paper? Are handwriting-recognition apps good at reading poor handwriting? Thinking of picking up a new Mini at some point as a sort of ersatz Moleskine that can also play Football Manager.

I just went back to a paper notebook for quick notes - faster and easier and I have to transcribe and review either way so...

Ah ok, I mixed up Mobile and Touch, didn't realize there were two versions. I tried playing the Mobile version of 2016 or 2017, just didn't work for me.

They can also create a rainbow effect with white colors, which means viewing photos or like...almost all websites can be weird. Drawing on glass is odd the first few times you try it and rapidly becomes second nature. Unless you’re an edge case you don’t need a gritty screen protector.

I’m slightly OCD about having finite resources for drawing. I only have so much paper, I hope this marker doesn’t dry up, better not waste this fancy eraser, etc. The iPad helps me doodle and waste what would be ink and paper without worrying about running out ever. That made it worth getting over drawing on glass.

I have had my Pencil for 3 years and have replaced the tip exactly once. And I only had to replace it because the original tip was damaged, not because it wore out. YMMV, but the Apple Pencil is pretty darn sturdy.

This is insanely tangentially related, at best, but do any of you have experience with an adhesive-strip case for your iPad? One that claims to be repositionable / removable (like the Pad & Quill cases, for example? I bought a big full coverage case for camping with my kids And need to remove my leather folio P&Q case with adhesive strip. And now for the dumbass simply question: is Wax Paper a good “cover” for the exposed sticker while I’m not using my folio?

I bought a new mini to replace my Nexus 7 which started to randomly discharge its entire battery of a night sitting in my work bag. It's real nifty but I wanna get a nice smart cover, are there any reccs for one? If not I'll get an apple one? Also how come Instagram still doesn't have a proper iPad app? Same goes for Whatsapp, I can do all that + text and call from my MacBook why not on the iPad, boo. Also a bit dissapointed that it doesnt have raise to wake and 3D touch but I'm assuming this is because it's still using the same old iPad Mini housing from years ago.
