Can you replace the back housing on iPad mini 3 gold edition?

I've scratched it.  Arghh!!  Brand new and scratch already.  I realize it's not the screen, but still bummed.    Can you just replace the back housing?  I have the mini 3 gold edition with 64gb memory.  Any help, much appreciated.  Thanks.

if you do it you'll void the warranty, and really I wouldn't do that to a new device. If you take it to apple, if you bought apple care plus it'll cost you $49 service fee. If you didn't buy apple care plus it'll cost you $219
My personal recommendation is to get a slip case of some sort to protect the back and forget that you have a scratch. It will literally cost you more than a scratch is worth in my opinion

  • Can you replace the battery on a IPad?

    I have an IPad 2 and the battery charge is not holding up well anymore and I was wondering what my options are or if I can have the battery replaced.

    Take it to an Apple Store.
    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.

    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

  • HT4061 I have cracked screen on my I-phone 5 but phone is working. Can you replace the screen?

    I have cracked screen on my I-phone 5 but phone is working. Can you replace the screen?

    You need to take it in to Apple and ask them.  Accidental damage is not covered by the warranty, so you may have to pay for the replacement.
    If you have AppleCare+ on the iPhone, you are entitled to two accidental damage claims, for a fee.

  • My wife and I each have an iPhone and an iPad Mini.  We have separate iTunes accounts.  She just finished reading a book on her iPad Mini.  Now I want to read it on my iPad Mini.  How can I get the book on my iPad Mini?

    My wife and I each have an iPhone 4s and an iPad Mini.  We have separate iTunes accounts.  She just finished reading a book on her iPad Mini.  Now I want to read it on my iPad Mini.  How can I get the book on my iPad Mini?

    Thank you for your reply Domingo.  Your suggestion worked as far as sending me a link to buy the book at iTunes.  But it did not allow me to download the book from my wife's account.  I did finally get an answer from Apple.  It took an entire day of emailing back and forth and the final answer was relatively easy once Apple finally decided to give up the solution.  Basically, you have to open ibooks and sign out.  Then you have to sign into ibooks using the book purchaser's Apple ID and password.  Then you can download the book onto your device.  Not too bad, huh?  It only took a whole day of Apple people sending me wrong instructions before they figured it out.  Geez.  What a disappointing experience.

    iPad Owners
    Your one-year warranty includes replacement coverage for a defective battery. You can extend your coverage to two years from the date of your iPad purchase with the AppleCare Protection Plan for iPad. During the plan’s coverage period, Apple will replace the battery if it drops below 50% of its original capacity. If it is out of warranty, Apple offers a battery replacement for $99, plus $6.95 shipping, subject to local tax. Apple disposes of your battery in an environmentally friendly manner.

  • Can you take the back off of the iphone 4 to get to the battery, if so how, mine has no screws at all

    i plugged my phone into itunes and my phone is in recovery mode, is ther a way i can just take the back off and take the battery out, i tried looking for videos on youtube but all the phones had screws on the outside where mine does not.

    You cannot remove the iPhone battery. The screws are pentalobe screws which need a special screwdriver and they are located on the bottom of the iPhone on each side of the 30 pin connector port.
    Disconnect the iPhone from the USB cable and press and hold the Home and Power buttons together until the Apple logo appears.

  • How can I replace the screen of my iPad while I am in Mexico

    I will be in Mazatlan, Mexico for several months.  I broke the screen of my iPad mini that i bought in Tucson last November.  How can I get it repaired?

    You can't. It can only be serviced in the US.
    Do NOT take it to a 3rd party repair shop to get it done. Dong so voids any warranty and forfeits all rights to service or support from Apple.

  • How can I transfer the music on my iPad mini to an empty music library on my new macbook?

    I have recently purchase a new Mac Book with retina display.
    I have tried without success to transfer the music from my iPad mini to the empty iTunes library on the Mac Book.
    Each attempt warns me that my iPad music library will be replaced by the Mac Book library.
    As this is an empty location surely all that will happen is that my iPad library will also become empty following the sync?

    This is an excellent user tip that instructs you on what you need to do. For the music that was purchased from iTunes, you will be able to use the Transfer Purchases feature.
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
    This is is the article that talks specifically about transferring purchases.
    iTunes Store: Transfer purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    Any music that was imported from CD and then synced to the iPad will require a their party app in order to transfer the music. Something like this.
