No, you swiped your card, and bought a case for somewhere between $150 and $300 to protect $200 worth of company owned Jepp charts and binders and never looked back. Now the company has issued you a $600 Ipad and you balk at the idea of voluntarily spending $20 to protect it, and devolve into childish name calling of your fellow pilots.
Just so we are clear, I think we all want and need an LOA on this for both privacy issues and damage. I think the company would be wise provide a protective otterbox style case. Until then, for the price of a couple beers in Canada, I have the option take adequate care of the property the company issued to me, in the same way you and I have both taken care of the Jepp charts issued to us, and protect myself from a $600 bill in the process.
