Slightly Cracked iPad Screen

I have a first generation iPad and there's a small crack on the screen near one of the sides. It's mainly noticeable just when you turn the iPad, but less seen when in the normal position. The sides of the iPad are also dented a little bit, but they, nor the small crack in the screen, effect the functionality of the device (from what I can tell, it works fine).
Anyway, how much do you think Apple would charge to get a replacement? (Since they don't actually repair their products, correct?) I've read that if you go to the store and manage to have some luck, they might give you a brand new device right on the spot. That hasn't been the case for some people though and they probably no longer have any iPad 1's in stock because of the iPad 2 release, right?

Hello:
No one here can answer your question.  These are user-to-user forums.  Why not go to the Apple store and see what, if anything, they might do?

  • Protecting cracked ipad screen from further damage with protector

    Howdy.... I have an ipad 2. The screen recently developed a spider web-type crack. I honestly have no idea how it happened. I did not drop it. I've been on a number of plane trips recently and noticed it after checking into a hotel. It was in my cabin luggage. Possibly someone dumped something on it in the overhead bin, or it got tossed around??
    Anyway, it does still seem to function completely fine. Towards the edge of the screen on one side there is about 1 mm of depression/displacement of the sides of the fracture. Otherwise the cracks are non-displaced. I have no problem using it.
    I am in a country with no apple stores. I could submit to an authorized repair place and wait for it to be repaired. However, I am anticipating ipad 3 coming out soon and I am wondering about the option of simply not fixing the screen at all.
    I bought an ipad screen protector and put it on the screen under the theory that this might inhibit cracks from propagating further. Anyone have any insight or ideas about this? What happens when you use a cracked ipad screen over time? Does it inevitably get worse?
    I am wondering if I can just use it as-is with the screen protector until ipad 3 comes out. The cracks are actually hard to notice during actual use, with the screen on.

    The glass is laminated structure, the top layer is oleophobic plastic very thin, then there is the sensor and finally the glass. Same for ipad and iphone. See below.
    If it works, keep going. Since you plan to buy a new one anyway. A case of 'its broken, but no need to fix it' !

  • Cracked ipad screen?

    i have cracked my screem on my ipad and was wondering if i could send it to apple to get repaired for free. i have apple care and it is still in warranty.

    I recently took my wife's iPhone to the Apple store with a cracked screen. They told me they don't do repairs for this kind of damage/fault & could replace for (if I recall correctly) £130. Although this was out of warranty & she had cancelled Apple care a while back. Does Apple care cover screen damage? Best thing to do is contact Apple to see what they can do

  • Cracked ipad screen with no warranty left?

    A couple of days ago I dropped my ipad 2 on the wooden floor and a crack formed. It is focused around the front camera but goes down onto a bit of the screen. My warranty ran out a year ago. I've heard of getting out-of-warranty replacements. Can you still get one if there is no warranty left?

    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.
    The warranty will apply to the country of purchase. And if there is a problem needing repair you have to return it to the country of purchase.

  • Cracked ipad screen, warranty job?

    My ipad 4 is 6 months old, can I get the cracked screen fix by apple under warranty?

    EE is in essence financing your iPad purchase. They paid Apple much more than the replacement price, and you'll end up paying EE more overall for the iPad then you would have done if you'd bought the iPad yourself, though EE hides that cost in their contract cost.
    Regards.

  • Cracked iPad screen, is there a repair?

    It is working but I feel as if it should be repaired. 

    Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • I have a slight crack on my screen and I wanted to know how much it will cost to get it fixed?

    I don't know what happen I just found out there is a slight crack on my screen and I want to know how much It will cost?

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. Price depends upon model and capacity. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price                       
    A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.
    iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens         
    Replace the screen yourself if you are up to it
