| iPad survives fall from the edge of space thanks to its G-Form case Jan 6th 2012, 07:40 An iPad has survived a massive 100,000 foot fall in the latest publicity stunt for case manufacturer G-Form. The iPad was solely clad in a G-Form 6oz Extreme Edge case and taken into space on a weather balloon. The company released a stunning hi-def video Thursday where the nearly naked iPad is shown hanging above the Earth in the blackness of space. In the video, the iPad is lifted to over 100,000 feet by a weather balloon which bursts at altitude, then releasing the iPad to free-fall to Earth where it crash lands on a rocky hillside in the Nevada countryside. Perhaps even more remarkable than the dramatic hi-def footage itself is the fact that the iPad survives the adventure, remaining fully functional. The video is really impressive on its own, without taking into account the magnitude of the fall or the fact that it is an iPad. It's not something I would be willing to try with my iPad 2 but it is definitely a great way to show some faith in your cases!
