IPad Air 2 screen crack

    Just looking for some advice. I have an Ipad Air2 only a few weeks and I dropped the thing! Gutted is an understatement as it's not insured. Screen still usable but I really couldn't live with it long term. Apple and CompuB tell me it's a straight unit replacement job and it'll cost the bones of €400!! Rang a few other places who say they don't do them. Any ideas or suggestions most welcome.

    the cat knocked mine off the counter onto a tiled floor a few weeks ago. You're right, most places don't do them. I'm in the north and was quoted £225 for a replacement, or an out of warranty replacement from Apple for just under £300 :(

    Did you get yours done or are you living with the busted screen?
