How about doing anything at all? I have an iPad 2 and an iPad mini sitting around that aren't useful at all. Just sitting there, collecting dust because I don't have the heart to chuck them.

This, and the overall build-quality of the devices makes it hard to just discard them. Even their batteries are still mostly good. I’d love to repurpose them, have several here aswell lying around.
