Yes, I've read that before. Apparently the magnets in the 3rd party cases aren't strong enough. 3rd party case manufacturers rejoice!

I never knew this, my keyboard case turns the screen on when I lift the ipad open on it, thought at first I was hitting the button or something but it must be magnets.
Clever.
Goodreader is superior

I'm starting to see some separation from the plastic between the glass and aluminum, right above the charging port. It's getting worse, maybe it's attributed to the heat? I remember seeing this on my old 3GS. I have a white iPad btw. Anyone else having this issue? At first I thought it was a black hair lol. Anyway it's not enough to have me upset enough for an exchange. I do love this thing

Exchange it. It's a defect, the glass is glued to the unit, they must have not done it properly on your unit.

Have you tried it on the new iPad? Does it feel as fast as iBooks?

Is there a good third party dock that works with cases? I want a dock, but I hate the thought that I'd always have to remove the back cover to use it.
It somehows renders text pretty badly for me... It's pixelated as hell. No idea why.

Ugh lol, the seed of doubt has been planted. I will go in next week.
The only camera I have is my iPhone 4 one, so this probably isn't the best pic.
Gameloft have their Diabloish clones Dungeon Hunter and Dungeon Hunter 2. (I think there are free/lite version if you want to check them out.) Sacred Odessey if your looking for an Elder Scrolls-type game.
There's also Aralon for an Elder-Scrolls type RPG.
Avadon if your more into an old-school PC RPG.
There are a couple for JRPG-types as well, but I haven't tried them.

I had to slightly relocate the magnet, might be an option depending how your case is made.

NBA app updated for retina and looks real good.
I dont have a sync issue but I get stuttering when scrolling fast past pictures and such.
Thanks I really like the Aralon game, seems interesting.
Aren't they listed on the App Store's homepage?

Apple is only curating some of the better ones. There is a running list on AppAdvice. Not the easiest thing to navigate, but there you go....

It's actually really easy. The hardest part is driving to the store.

I know. But a store isn't within an hour of me. And I don't have my car right now. I suppose I'll wait a month until I'm back home.

Can't stop staring at this beautiful screen
I think most of them do, but very few are effect regular use. If I max brightness I have that pattern of dots around some edges, I don't know if I will bother with it. My ipad 2 was much much worse and I kept it.

Their media blitz for the new retina screen says otherwise
Actually the wallpaper on the iPad is a different color. Blue on the new ones

Maybe I'm using the wrong term but if I hold my iPad at an angle, I can see light leaking out the edge of the screen. It's only in one certain spot.
The point was, GoodReader has many features, but not that specific feature (smooth vertical scrolling across pages with horizontal zoom lock). That's unique to PDFMate, which is free.

Does anyone know if I'll be able to walk into a store Monday and buy one of these, or are they pretty much sold out everywhere.
I was out of state all week and will be back in reality on Monday.

AvplayerHD struggles with 1080p mkvs on the new iPad. Playback is sluggish.
I've had no luck with avidemux as itunes refuses to sync the mp4 to the ipad because "it cant be played by the ipad".
Anyone had any luck getting 1080p mkv's?

Not always accurate my 2nd iPad after exchange has light seen on top if u see at an angle but it doesnt register in the dark on a black image
Very good chance you'll be able to buy one at your leisure upon your return.
Hmmm think I'm gonna wait until people decide what the best PDF reader is.
iBooks
and, personally typing, i think the fear of light leakage on these devices are overblown. if you're afflicted, you won't notice it unless you're in a completely dark room looking at either a black image or a movie with extensive letter boxing. sometimes i think we're too eager to find slight imperfections in our devices over just enjoying the experience.
my last gen iPad had rather poor leaks on the bottom but i never considered bringing it in to trade. it had zero impact on my enjoyment of the device.
Wut? Do you see bright spots around the edges if you look at a black screen with max brightness?
Is the new iPad able to keep more than one tab in Safari active and running at all times? On the iPad 1, everytime I open a second tab to look at stuff, the contents on the first tab would be lost, forcing me to wait for a reload when I click back to the first tab. How many tabs can the new iPad typically handle without having this problem occur?

Adobe's works Ok. The best feature is a great landscape mode and it scrolls horizontally. It's free, of course.

I just opened 9 tabs (max in safari) switched back and forth a couple times to the app store and swiped through several pages of top apps. All tabs stayed in memory with no reloading and I opened image heavy pages and bookmarks. Pretty impressive.
