As I am not adept at holding onto a greased eel - I was not able to hold onto the comparably slick iPad. Boy does that screen break easily...
Why didn't I have a case? Think I must have put it with my thoroughly daily pc backups -- filed directly on my to do list.
Anyway... I haven't tried the help offered in this clipping but plan to soon and thought I'd stick it here too in case someone else has butter fingers and needs the info too...
BTW -- even with a shattered screen the touch screen works and I've been using it broken for six weeks or so now with no problem other than the inconvenience of a spiderweb of cracks. Kudos to Apple that at least it has reliably worked even after being dropped.
