said by MEDIAN2k3:I wish that was the case but my iPad is kept out of reach of my 2 year old.
I keep it usually in a cabinet until I get home.
Thats sort of what I was saying.
Im not saying this is definitely how it happened but systematic damage could be caused by a storage place if one isnt necessarily careful.
For example, if the storage area is narrow enough (less then the diagonal width of the iPad) and the storage area rigid enough the leverage of a closing door could crush the corners of the iPad like in your pictures. If the door is wide enough it increases the force exerted on the point of contact considerably even if you (or someone else) put very minimal effort into closing it.
