Dropped iPod on accident, how much to fix?

Alright, I was an idiot and was toting around my 4th gen touch without a case. Well this came back to bite me bad. The other night I dropped my iPod at work, onto a concrete floor. It didn't damage it too badly, though. However, the metal back scuffed on one corner, and got pushed up a bit, which in turn pushed up the front glass portion in said corner. Now there's a tiny gap between the metal backing and the glass front, and this has me paranoid. I'm worried it could lead to issues down the road, or could get worse. I know this isn't covered under any warranty, so how much could it cost to repair? I'd prefer not to buy a new one if I don't have to.

Here are Apple's prices. They send you a refurbished one.

There are third-part places that can repair it but since there currently nothing wrong with the iPod there is nothing in their price list that cover you problem. See:

    Apple's Limited Warranty http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/ for iPad excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications.
    Out-of-Warranty Service
         If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)   
    iPad model
    Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
    iPad mini
    $219
    iPad 3rd, 4th generation
    $299
    iPad 2, iPad
    $249
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad

    I have deleted my library on my ipod by accident (how many people must say that). I have a smaller library with my laptop here in qatar, but can I re install my music from my pc at home in uk, from Qatar?

    " When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
    Correct.
    " How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer?  "
    Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.
