With every new Apple gadget, you’ve got to have a drop test to see how it fares in clumsy hands. This test from SquareTrade pits the new iPad mini against its big brother the iPad 3, and chief rival the Nexus 7. All and all, it holds up pretty well, but nothing is invincible.
It’s a little unclear whether or not that Nexus 7 was about to be totally fine after that water test, but the test goes to show that these devices will all survive alright so long as you don’t go smacking them face-down on the pavement. But if that’s what you’re going to do, please, at least film it. [SquareTrade]

what a waste of tech
simple rule of thumb
if you drop it, then it might break.
if it didn’t break when you dropped it, then you were lucky.
No, no. If you drop it, when you are an inferior sub species of human and should hang your head in shame.
If it shatters, you should say goodbye to your family and friends and head to your nearest Processing installation, where your organs, corneas, blood plasma and bone marrow can be recycled.
sounds good to me lol
So, at the end where he says “You can win any one of these 3 tablets” – who wants a shattered iPad?
The water test was surprising I thought it would have fucked all of them
