First off, not everyone is going to buy the most expensive ipad. I got the 16 gig wifi, a keyboard, and a case for around 650....not 1500.
True I would just buy a keyboard an a screen cover.Can't forget to buy the iPad it-self that would be silly.
I dont know what iPad he bought, He should get the facts right before he opens his mouth. Unless your buying a 400+$ case then how could it equal 1600$ or whatever he said...
