Will apple fix my cracked ipad glass screen?
I knocked my ipad off my desk at school and it landed on an adaptor. Will Apple fix my screen for me or do I have to find a third party?

As it was broken by accident and is not a damage that could have been prevented by apple, you will need to pay to have it fixed yourself.

Accidental damage isn't covered by the warranty. I don't know what country that you are in, but in the US the price for repair (i.e. replacement) is (from here) $299 for the iPad 3 and $249 for the iPad 1 and 2 - and here in the UK (from here) £256.44 for the iPad 3 and £206.44 for the iPad 1 and 2 . If you are near to an Apple store then go in and see what they say.
There are third-party companies that will repair them, but any repairs by unauthorised repairers will void the warranty.
Apple's Limited Warranty http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/ for iPad excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications.
Apple will provide a replacement iPad for:
iPad model | Out-of-Warranty Service Fee |
---|---|
New iPad | $299 |
iPad 2, iPad | $249 |

You can get the glass replaced at 3rd party repair sources for less $, however, the Apple warranty will be voided.
