Scratched screen on iPad

I have had an iPad 2 for about 18 weeks, and during those 4 and a half months the screen on it has cracked 4 times. So total I have only had my iPad, with me, for about a month. I use it for school so that hasn't helped me a lot. The first three times it occurred in the same spot (Upper right hand side, next to the volume control and the mute/lock rotation switch). It wasn't a crack but more of a under the screen scratch.
I had to pay $20.00 for the first repair. After I received the iPad back, it cracked with in 2 days. So I had to pay $50.00 for the second repair. After about 3 weeks of waiting I received it back again, and this time, within 2 hours of handling it, it cracked while I was putting on my case (and the cracked occurred in the same exact spot again, all 3 times). So I told them what happened and the reduced my price to $50.00 again instead of paying full price for it which would be $400.00. So far I have paid $120.00 in repairs, and quite frankly I can't afford to pay anymore as high school student.
I got my iPad back sometime last week, and when I received it back it was broken in the bottom left corner. It had this wrap around it that said "Do Not Remove". Within a week there was another crack on the iPad, but this time it was connected to the bottom left corner where the iPad was previously broken. It would cost $400.00 for this repair. I can not afford to pay $520.00 in repairs. I had a OutterBox on my iPad all 4 times.
So my question is there anyway I can get a reduced price on my repair? Like I said I've had the OutterBox on it all 4 times. Doesn't their company repair it for free it it's breaks while using their products? I need help. Thank you.

we can't speak on behalf of either company.  You need to ask them directly as each occurence is on a case by case basis.

  • Anti glare/scratch screen protector Ipad Mini 2 - Not compromising clarity

    I'm looking for an anti glare/anti-scratch screen protector for the ipad mini 2 retina. I know Zagg has an awesome one however the clarity is greatly compromised at only 86% clarity. Is there a screen protector that has great clarity along with anti scratch and anti glare, or at the very least minimized the glare from outside or inside lighting.

    Hi. I'm in the market for one too. I've always used power support and they're very good albeit expensive at £30 a pop. I've looked at the Zagg but there have been some not so great reviews. So my advice is go power support, the HD anti glare one is very good but if you don't want to dull the display and it does make a difference then go for the crystal clear. Hope that helps

  • Is the screen of ipad mini scratch resistant?

    We've been using iPad original for many years, though I rarely take it outside but it does not mean it alway lays on a soft pillow! Anyhow, it has no scratches on its screen.
    However, alot of rumers are out there and no official relieving statement from Apple! rumers that claim iPad mini does not benefit from neigther a gorilla glass nor a simple scratch resistant coating made me using a screen protector which just reduces the image quality and with that on,  i feel more like using the old iPad orignal than this.
    I just need a simple answer from an official if I may use it simply with no screen protector like my old iPad.
    Regards,

    I cannot speak for Apple (they are not here) - only from experience. No scratches on my iPad mini, had it since launch day.

  • Scratches on my iPad Air?

    I have these scratches on my IPad air that I think I got from using a Adonit Jot pro stylus. It freaks me out so bad because I've never had scratches on anything else, and I have a android tablet with no scratches, android smartphone with no scratches and an iPod touch 5th generation which I've had for 2 year with no scratches. You can't see them if you look directly but if you turn it (when the screen has been cleaned) you can clearly see them they don't indent the screen but I can see them and I'm worried that if I ever drop it that it would shatter because of them, I hope it isn't anything serious because I don't have the money to replace the screen and I absolutely HATE screen protectors and only if he's absolutely mandatory that I would EVER Get a screen protector..so what are your thoughts guys?

    You hate screen protectors and can't abide by scratches. If the Adonit Jot scratched the screen of your iPad, it's hard to figure what would remedy the issue - except a screen protector, which you hate. You've backed yourself into a corner on that one.
    I only see a few options (which you have do doubt considered):
    1. Get a new iPad screen - about $100+, before installation; install isn't easy
    2. Get a new iPad - you know the price on these
    3. Get a screen protector - and here's my question: Why are you so absolutely opposed to getting a screen protector? Are you aware that, with a good installation, a screen protector is completely invisible?
    4. Deal wtih it - a scratched screen won't crack or shatter any differently than a new one. This is the cheapest solution.
    Also, be sure to sell the Adonit Jot on eBay. It's unmatched for fineness of line, but I'd only get one if it came with a screen protector.
    Post with your thoughts. I'm sure you aren't the first to ask.

  • I have scratches on my iPad.

    Okay, so I have a screen protector on my iPad and I had it for about 3 and a half months but if I look carefully, I can see a huge scratch on my iPad, why is that?
    Reminder: I'm also using a smart case and I have never drop my iPad, not once.

    Since you have a screen protector, it's most likely a scratch on the protector, not your iPad screen.  I've had my iPad nearly two years now, without a screen protector and there are no scratches on my screen. With the Oleophobic coating on the glass, it's VERY difficult to scratch. 

  • Scratch on my ipad 2,india...can anybody tell me what to do?

  • Is there a way to fix the white or black screen on Ipad 4th Gen?

    Ive tried to reset it and restore to factory settings but this does not work. The screen was white until I restored to factory settings and now it's black when it starts up. Ive also let it die and tried to charge and power it on again but no go. It's an Ipad Black 32GB 4th Gen. I will post a link to one of the pictures I had of it below. I am wondering if I have to pay how much it'll be to fix. It was working great until about a week ago when it randomly happened. It was purchased in February of 2013.

    Try this  - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

    You can take a screen shot of any page in your iPad.  Simply hold the power and home button for less than an second and you'll hear the camera shutter.  The picture will be stored in your camera roll and you can then email it.

    The iPad is fine.  But the computer you're syncing with needs to be authorised with the Apple ID that was used to buy the material on the iPad.  You do this by picking the 'Authorize' item from the menu in iTunes and entering the account name and password.

    Also when I am trying to connect ipad to my windows PC, it shows, your software is up to date and later starts restoring while updating again. Then automatically it stops to update halfway and I have to repeat the process again and again, still in vain.

    Do you clean your iPad screen?  Do not use standard window cleaners, with ammonia or alcohol, like Windex, but a damp towel, followed by a micro-fibre cloth is recommended.  There are also cleaners you can buy which are specifically designed for iPad/iPhone devices, such as iClean from Monster.

  • Grey Screen in iPad Content Viewer

    A number of co-workers and clients have reported that when viewing a folio for the first time on a new device, a grey screen appears instead of the content. In general, the problem is fixed by closing the Conent Viewer in the app tray and restarting the app.
    I have only seen the issue once, but it has been reported to me a number of times and while it's no problem for my co-workers, we would prefer that when a client sees a draft of their folio for the first time, they are not fighitng with the software. As my sale person said, "we're losing the 'wow' factor.
    Any one else experiencing this issue or any expected fix?

    I get it with dual orientation folios in PDF format on iPad and iPhone. but
    maybe I experience a different bug ...

  • I have frozen screen on ipad mini

    got frozen screen on ipad mini

    How did this happen?  Was it due to misentry of a passcode, or something else.
    If another cause than the passcode, do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if that appears.

    Hi
    The majority of issues with lines appear to require a new screen or the ribbon connector between the screen and the board is loose. These could be caused by mis-treatment although not always and I'm sure you would have mentioned if you had dropped the BB. So it does seem likely that this app has caused the problem.
    Uninstalling doesn't completely remove an app from the device, hence why it makes no difference. Before sending the device away for service (or fixing a new screen yourself) it will be worth wiping the device and reinstalling the OS. I would be tempted not to reload the problem app, there has been comment on here about the benefits - use the search facility above right if you are interested.
