How much to repair a scratched screen?

I have apple care, but I heard it is not covered.  It is a small deep scratch on my screen about 1.5 cm long.

Hi Evan,
Correct, the AppleCare Protection Plan doesn't cover any sort of "wear and tear" or accidental damage. Apple won't attempt to fix the screen, they'll just replace the entire panel and it won't be cheap ($700+). There are 3rd parties that can do it for you, usually considerably cheaper, but you'll want to ensure they're an Apple Authorized Service Provider. Lastly, you could also perform the replacement yourself and that would be the cheapest option.
The thing you want to be mindful of is preserving your APP on the machine. If Apple does it, there's no problem. If an Apple Authorized Service Provider does it, same. But if some "computer shop" does it or you try to do it and problems arise you're not only financially invested but you run the risk of voiding the APP on the machine.

    Not not that badly cracked but it being cracked annoys me how much would it be to get it fixed ?

    The standard 1-year Apple Care warranty only covers defects in materials and workmanship, not damage due to accidents.
    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
    Make a Genius Bar Reservation

    You may can get the iPad repaired at 3rd party repair sources for less $, however, any remaining Apple warranty will be voided.

    How much to replace a cracked screen?

    Apple at this time does not repair iPods, but will replace the entire iPod for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
    There are independent iPod repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipod repair". It is also possible to purchase parts and find instructions on doing a repair yourself, though it's not particularly easy. Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPod serviced by an unauthorized shop or perform a repair yourself, all further support from Apple will be void.
    Regards.

  • How much apple charge for broken screen iPhone 5

    How much charge iPhone 5 broken screen replace

    Apple reportedly now will replace the screen in an iPhone 5 for US $149. Availabllity of repair services may vary by country, and I'm not sure if other models of iPhone also can be repaired, so call Apple Support or visit an Apple Store and ask for information. For other problems Apple at this time does not at this time repair iPhones, but will replace the entire iPhone for a flat fee. If you have AppleCare+ coverage, the cost will low; in the US it's $49. If you do not have AppleCare+ on your iPhone, see the Service Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/
    There are independent iPhone repair services that may be able to do the repair for less than Apple's out-of-warranty charge. Do a web search for "iPhone repair". Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPhone serviced by an unauthorized shop, all further warranty and support from Apple will be voided.

  • How do I repair a scratch on my laptop?

    How do I repair a scratch on my laptop?

    If its on the alloy casing, you DONT.
    Live with the "beauty mark".   As someone with a fair amount of metal polishing skills over 20 years...., I can tell you there is nothing more absurdly 'painful' than removing scratches from MATTE ALUMINUM.
    Remove a scratch off metal? EASY
    But.......then then have to blend the sanding out,...then you have to raise the finish and then LOWER IT to match the matte finish, which is absurdly HARD.
    If you try to buff / sand etc. it out, youll make a small spot look like a giant eyesore.
    Only options are:
    A: pay for a replacement bottom plate or (i dont know where your scratch is) unibody (too expensive really)
    B: live with the scratch
    C: put a sticker over it
