MBP Screen cracked 'on its own'..

Quite literally.
Bare in mind this happened well over a year ago, in March, and apple continue to dismiss me. I kind of understand, they can't prove I didn't drop it, however even so, I am curious as to why on earth this could have happened.
MBP is a Mid 2012, 13" 2.5Ghz.
I was using it on a wooden table. It was wearing a speck hardcover case bought from the apple store.
It was getting fairly hot, enough for me to be uncomfortable resting my wrists on it, but not enough for it to power off. Was running a little slow. A small, thin crack appeared on the black frame, on the left hand side of the screen. I turned the MBP off, leaving it open, and the following day the screen had continued and now ran around the right hand top & bottom side of the black frame and running through diagonally into the middle of the screen.
The only things I have found from meticulous searching online are that perhaps the bezel is a touch too tight?
I looked after my MBP, wore a case and I don't touch the screen.
Any idea's how on earth this could have happened?

There is more than just the bezel being too tight...you said the MBP was in a hardcover case, and was getting very hot. The hardcover case was acting as an insulator retaining the heat generated by the MBP. The MBP aluminum case is the major part of the heat sink for the internals, especially the processor. If the heat is not removed, the entire unit heats up, as you note, which causes thermal expansion. ALL things expand when they heat up and contract when they cool down.
And, all things expand at different rates when they heat up. So, the MBP heats up, the different pieces, the case, the screen, expand at different rates. If the screen heats and expands more than the case restraining it, the stresses in the glass will buildup. At some point the stress has to be relieved. Either by increasing the cooling, shutting down to stop heat production, or by cracking. Your screen sounds like it relieved the buildup stresses by breaking.
That is why Apple is probably taking so long to resolve this...it cannot be proven you dropped/damaged the MBP, but by retraining the expansion of the screen with a hardcover case Apple is not likely to feel they are responsible. They should have, however, warned the consumer that the case requires different usage patterns so the MBP does not get so hot.
Just some thoughts.

What should i do with my ipad because it fell down and the screen cracked but its still functioning

Up to you whether you want to get it serviced. If you don't, I'd suggest putting on a screen protector to help hold the screen together and try to prevent further damage. It's likely that it will eventually fail at some point, but you could get lucky and have it continue to work for quite some time.
If you decide you want to get it serviced, Apple does not repair iPads, but will replace the entire iPad for a flat fee. If you have AppleCare+ on the iPad, the cost will be relatively minimal; $49 in the US. Otherwise, see the Service Pricing section here:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/service/faq/
There are independent iPad repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipad repair". You can also look for parts and instructions and do the repair yourself. Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPad serviced by an unauthorized shop or perform your own repair, you will get no further support from Apple.
Regards.

HT1766 When I turn iPad on I get a box that says Not Enough Storage and neither the Closeor Settings buttons do anything. The iPad turns off on its own. It is full charged.

Try this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up

When I'm working with my Ipad it locks on its own and every several minutes I have to unlock it. Help please

When I'm working with my Ipad it locks on its own and every several minutes I have to unlock it. Help please

If your iPad was work provided there may be options that they locked out. For example, a privately owned device can be set to never auto lock (last I knew anyway) but it's not uncommon for work or school provided devices to not have the 'never' option.

My iPad shut down on its own and when i switched it on, it asks to 'Activate iPad' and reads below 'This iPad was lost and erased. Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to erase this iPad". Please help!!!!

Is it possible that you or someone who knows your iCloud sign on went into the Find My iPhone app and erased your device via iCloud? Because that is what that message is saying.
Have you tried to sign on with your Apple ID and password?
Was it online prior to this incident happening?

This is a Microsoft problem. Contact them for assistance: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/295539

Are you certain about that? There are many alternatives to Office today. Consider
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice ($10 but older version is free)
OpenOffice (completely free)
In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). All of these options allow you to open, edit, and save Word-formatted documents and spreadsheets. I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for over a year now. Life is better without Microsoft.

IPad 3 screen is doing its own thing...

Help! My iPad 3 is opening and closing apps on its own, will not let me do a hard reset, tried rebooting, I am at a loss. When it started doing it this morning, I tried updating it, rebooting it, resetting it, it does it, then it stops, then it starts again. Help!!!

You should backup your iPad and make an appointment at a Genius Bar. The problem you are experiencing is most likely a hardware problem (screen/digitizer)

(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

$219
iPad 3rd, 4th generation
$299
iPad 2, iPad

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

My ipad screen cracked help!!

My ipad fell and its screen cracked help please what will I do and i lost my warranty papers.

Check your service & support coverage
From here, you can see if your still In-Warrenty, you don't need the warrenty papers.
I used my iTouch to show you what I mean. IF the two orange icons (above) show, that means your out-of-warrenty.

My ipad freezes, reboots on its own and when I try to restore the machine reboots before the process ends

Just bought this ipad in June 2013 and then all of a sudden about two weeks ago, I discovered the machine reboots on its own and would only be active for less than 2 minutes. I check the auto-lock assigned minutes and it was set on 15 minutes even at this, it will still go off after less than 2 minutes. I then checked on some of the suggestions on the net for a similar problem and resolved to pressing and holding the sleep/wake button simultaneously with the Home button to force a reboot. Even at this no change. Then I tried connecting the machine to a PC logging on to the itunes to do a backup and restore but the machine will not stay long enough to complete the procedure before rebooting on its own. Any help?

IPad screen cracked

Does best buy let people trade in iPads with cracked screens? I just broke it but I have no warranty on it.

Best Buy Trade-in for a New iPad says this:
Condition - Gift Card Value
Good - $300.00
Fair - $210.00
Poor - $135.00
Not Working - $0.00
http://www.bestbuytradein.com/bb/calculators.cfm
My guess is.. probably not. If they do, I wouldn't expect anymore than $50.
