That depends. If you purchased AppleCare+ it will cost $49.00 to have the glass replaced. If you don't have AppleCare, the repair fee will be about half the cost of a new iPad.

I think this thread belongs in iPad help. Can someone please tell me if I'm right?

I've moved this thread to the iPad Help forum, where it will receive better attention.

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, but then again your warranty would already be voided because of the drop. If you do replace with Apple, your warranty is reinstated. 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:
