The radio report I just heard suggested duct tape.

Nickel can produce some pretty nasty reactions...

yep, got my 9 year old a set of dog tags while he was at camp and he had a rash in the pattern of the chain (solved by switching to stainless)

There isn't any evidence that there is, indeed, any nickel on the outside of the iPad: "It turns out the popular tablet computer may contain nickel."

It could be he is allergic to some of the characters in the games he plays.

I thought the back of an ipad was aluminum or an aluminum alloy so it might be the copper or zinc
or more than likely not the ipad at all
and just another sensational headline

They did say it tested positive for nickel, but I don't think 6000-series Al should have anything more than minute amounts of nickel, if any.

The actual study is behind a paywall, and I'd hesitate to draw any conclusions based on a recycled wire-service article.
