Do not pull a large box of washing powder off a high shelf with one hand and then lose your hold on it because it's heavier than expected so that a corner of it lands on your cheekbone. #tryingtodotwothingsatonce

No . I haven't had that problem myself. But,I do know it can be done!
Phone you local apple to ask.
If you are interested I am thinking of selling my I pad with retinal display 32 m as I've now got the mini!

Do not take a plastic bottle of tomato sauce from a high shelf and drop it on the quarry-tiled floor of your larder. No one was hurt but boy, did it look as if there had been a massacre.

Ouch Bags - arnica to the rescue? Hope it's ok in the morning.

Do not climb a ladder whilst holding a spare microwave and try to put it on top of a cupboard. It could be quite expensive in osteopath's fees ...... [silly Gally emoticon] - the microwave survived though!

Thanks Galen I'd better try and get it repaired, on the quiet, if I can. It was a Christmas present from my son.

Do not try to carry a new microwave down three steps in ice and snow - microwave dropped but was unharmed thanks to horrible but useful polystyrene packaging. Greatnan felt a right fool in front of new French neighbours and had sore knees.
From DD1 - do not let excitable dogs drag you down a slipply slope so you break your ankle. (And after all the warning she gave me about slipping whlst walking in the Alps.)

Frighteningly close to the truth in this household.

Orca there is an Apple shop in Solihull, in the precinct as you say. I got my iphone there.
