If so, how do you carry it? In what kind of case or bag? Do you use it mostly on your lap or on a table? Do you open and close it frequently? Do you hand it around to other people to look at? Do you use it while traveling on a bus, train, car or airplane? Also - does this ibook the same kind of case as the later ones - most that I've heard having problems seem to be mid-2002 and later.
