Tell me about it :-)
It does boast some magnets on the back to hold it on, and I am pretty sure it's polarised.

It seems to me that RDFs don't last as long as they used to.

I'm wondering if the one on the iPad will wear thin even before
it's delivered.

And, of course, they're impossible to replace once broken.

You're surely joking! Not only do they last long after the product
itself has failed and gone to product heaven, RDF coatings even work
retrospectively!

Point of accuracy - there was a significant period when Apple products
did not use RDF coatings. The Newton suffered from both a lack of RDF,
and a terminal susceptibility to it.

I think the fact that the Newton somehow slipped my mind shows just how
powerful the RDF coating it is.
