Shattered New Ipad Air

The free, one-year, limited AppleCare warranty ONLY covers manufacturing defects and NOT ANY incidental or accidental damages, like screen cracks, by the user.

Unless, you had purchased two-year+, AppleCare+ warranty plan, which covers ANY user incidental/accidental damages, by the user, proving screen cracking is a manufacturing defect and NOT caused by some user abuse or accidental/incidental damages is extremely hard to prove.

Screens can crack for any reason and can be caused by the user, by over some user usage habits, over time, before screen cracking becomes evident or, eventually, manifests itself.

If NO paid AppleCare+ warranty, iPad replacement will be very expensive at, approximately, 60% of that iPad's original price.

Sorry, but other than purchasing another iPad, there is really nothing more to be done.

Next time, when purchasing a very expensive iPad model, spend the extra to purchase the paid, extended AppleCare+ warranty plan at the time of purchase or within 60 days of purchase.

Also, purchase a good, protective case for an expensive iPad model.

Sorry.
