iPad 3 a little crack on the screen

[dooberry156]

So today I was taking out my iPad out of the protection thing and when I put back I think I didn't have it centered and when I snapped the corners I heard crkk sound and when I looked at the corner and form the corner to the half of the screen was the crack. Ok to the question now. Do you guys think they will fix it for cheaper because they fix cracked screens for about $300.

Hi and welcome to the Forum!

The best solution we have for fixing a broken iPad is to make an appointment with the Genius Bar at your nearest Apple Store....you will not need your receipt as they can look up all relevant info at the store. They will most probably offer to replace your iPad but for a cost...it's normally half of the original cost of the iPad. If this is fine by you, make sure you do a complete backup of your iPad before you go.

There are other businesses that can do this for you which will probably be cheaper but be aware that this will void your warranty. I have also heard many members who have gone the cheaper route then find that their WiFi will not work as this has been damaged by the replacing of the screen.

In addition, you can also contact Apple customer service. Here are some great web sites to aid you in your repair search:
