That's interesting. How old are the kids? I'm guessing that most kids just live with the headphone jack problems rather than report it.
Also, if they know the break was their fault they may just get their parents to buy them a new one.
Do they have to return the ipads at the end of the year? It'll be interesting if the ratio of broken/lost devices continues at the end of the year.
