How much does it cost for apple to replace a iPad 3rd generation with a couple of tiny dents on the back?

My iPad has a couple of tiny dents on the back of it. I dont have applecare for this ipad. Apple says it would be $299 to replace the ipad. Does anyone know if that is true? Can apple fix the dents or can they replace the ipad? What should I do?

iPad (3rd generation) Wi-Fi, iOS 5.1

dude you really need to read all your responses again... everything that can be answered has been answered, even with helpful links provided from stevejobsfan0123 & deggie for example. & everything else you need to ask apple.


you have an appointment at apple, so ask them then. no one else can tell you more until you see apple. please stop asking the same questions as there is nothing else we can tell you.

Sorry for all of the questions everyone. The scaratch seems to have gotten a bit worse. Even though it is still small, will apple still replace the unit even if the damage is really small? I dont care about costs. All I want is to get the ipad replaced then buy a nice hard shell case for it and leave the store happy

For God's sakes!!!!! Ask Apple these questions!!!! Nobody here can speak for them so please stop asking us!!!!!

Why, by doing wha.t you are doing right now, incessantly and pointlessly posting in this thread. It's magic!! <yes, that is sarcasm>


GO TO THE APPLE STORE AND SEE WHAT THEY CAN/WILL DO FOR YOU. No one here can help you. We are just users like you and have no control or authority when it comes to Apple customer service policies. NONE. We cannot tell you what Apple will do. Stop typing, stop reading this thread. ACT.

The day before my appointment, I am still Not sure aboutany answers to this question I apologize for all of the questions but I am worried that I wont get a replacement because the scratch is small and the glass has about 3 small cracks on it. No matter how small the damage is, may I still get a replacement for $299?


I am SO sorry for all of the questions, but this is the first time my iPad got a scratch and has had tiny cracks on the glass

Guys, stop replying. I think I got this figured out! He is either completely psychotic, or he is just deliberately trying to irritate us.

If you absolutely want a replacement, and won't be able to breathe till you get one, I suggest you buy a new iPAD, and then sell the old one for what it's worth. Or, if the damage is so bad it can't be sold ( and you are not telling us it's that bad) just put it away in some corner where you will never notice it, and for Christ's sake forget you ever bought that! THERE IS NO OTHER WAY!
