Here it is the iPad 2. After spending long grueling hours in the iPad 2 line at the Apple Store inside of Baybrook Mall in Friendswood, Texas just outside of Houston — I’m worn out!
However, I thought you’d like some photos of the iPad 2 being unboxed before I head off for some grub and well deserved R&R.

No light leaks – it was dark here and while photos look better under natural lighting I had to use artificial lighting. I think it was only a reflection. I’ll post something if I think there is a problem with the backlighting.
I just purchased a 16 GB black wifi model and it DOES have multiple light leaks in the bottom right hand corner. I thought it was the yellow spots from the iPhone 4 but when you press the side they get worse.
Hehe, I spent a total of 30 minutes at my local Walmart for a white 16GB iPad 2.
I haven’t noticed anything weird so far. I’ve left the screen on for the past several hours. Or maybe it’s because I haven’t taken off the protective film yet…
I’m seeing light leaks in the lower right hand corner as well, opposite of the speaker input, this on a wifi white. I’m glad I’m not the only one, I was dreading the thought of having to take this back and wait a month!

Is this a light leak on the lower mid right of the screen?
Apple, still haven’t sorted the IPS backlight bleed o iPad panels then ;)
