IPad cracked screen
Can anyone recommend anyone that can repair i.e. replace, a cracked screen on an iPad with retina display? Velez Malaga area would be ideal but I suspect I may have to travel further afield.
I've got an inferiority complex, but it's not a very good one!

Take it to the Apple Store in Marbella.
They might even give you a new one.
There are very few repairers around.

Re: IPad cracked screen
Depending on which ipad you have your only option may be the apple store. I dropped my iphone 5 last week and the only person who could repair it was the apple store.
Cost £180

Re: IPad cracked screen
It's a third generation ipad, the one with retina display, so looks like a trip to Marbella is on the cards.
I noticed a hairline crack in the glass a couple of weeks ago but it got dropped onto concrete this week and the crack got worse. Fortunately it is still working, for now.

This isn't a serious remark but wouldn't it be good if you could take it to one of those windscreen people who do invisible repairs

If I thought a tube of Unibond glass repair epoxy would do the job I would try it but I am too concerned it would upset the effectiveness of the touch screen, although the crack is out of sight behind the leather cover, which didn't protect it when it was dropped.

I think I wouldn't worry about it unless the screen actually fails, I'd just keep on using it until then.

Re: IPad cracked screen
So that suggests that the crack is outside the screen area - in which case you might get away with it.
I would still try the Apple Store if it is under warranty as they might just swap it out.

Re: IPad cracked screen
Company in the UK called foneangels does repairs
90 quid for ipad3 glass.
Nothing on the website to suggest they send overseas but might be worth a look if all else fails.

Have you checked to see if accidental damage is covered by your household insurance?

Good point Beach. I'll check it out.

Re: IPad cracked screen
I’ve looked but can’t find the invoice [giving the address] but I sent an iPad to have screen replaced, after a silly quote from Apple, to a UK based company. Just north of Birmingham if I recall.
Sent it off and it was returned back to Spain in 8 working days, for I think 45 pounds.
Google “iPad repairs, UK” and you will find loads of companies doing the same.

Re: IPad cracked screen
Thanks for the tip. We used this service for our badly cracked Ipad screen. Cost €120, took 2 days, Djamel did a great job and we would definitely recommend him and use him again.
