sjb Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 We've had iPads in school since Christmas, and last week suffered our first accident - one of the ipads was dropped on its corner resulting in a crack right across the screen. Apple won't cover it under Applecare and say we need to buy a new one. i know that there are some companies that claim to be able to fix screens - just wondered if anyone has ever tried one and what the outcome was? Also if anyone can recommend a protective case for primary school children to use please. We have smart covers and one set of iBallz at the moment - smart covers are pretty useless for protection and iBallz can be a bit distracting, although probably would have saved the screen in this case.
FN-GM Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 @Millgate fix them, im sure they will be along soon Many people on here are happy with repairs by them. 1
tmcd35 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 I've just had my iPhone 4S screen replaced by rottenapples.com Very fast turn around, there and back in 2 working days. The screen was all but destroyed (run over by a few cars and bicycles). The returned phone was as good as new, looked like the day I first got the phone. Can't sing their praises enough.

Ben That's interesting. Definately the right store. Like I say two days and it was back good as new. Can't praise them enough, especially having seem the quality of the end result.
beany1 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 If you mean the glass + digitizer you can pick it up for ~£30 on Amazon. Fixed one of ours on Friday not too difficult. Were a primary also and the cases we use are the trust hard cases which is just a piece of plastic covering the bottom and the ipad was dropped on the speaker on a desk corner - so avoiding the only part of the ipad not protected by the case. I think with any case solution you won't get total protection (a teacher will find a way to break it).
