i've dropped my ipod touch 4th gen and the screen has smashed in one corner and cracked right across the screen. How much would it cost for Apple to repair this?

I dropped my ipod touch 4th gen off a bench and it fell flat on its front (or it looked like that to me). The screen has smashed in the bottom left corner and has made a huge crack from that corner, right across the screen to about an inch from the top right corner. I am alredy aware that Apple's warantees and all don't cover this so how much would it cost for Apple to replace my screen. I would only trust Apple to do this not any other company so does anyone have any idea how much they would charge to replace my screen?
Oh, by the way, the ipod works perfectly it just has a huge smash and crack on it!

iPod touch, 4th generation

For the iPhone you need to purchase Applecare+ and ireplacment is not free.

AppleCare+ provides repair or replacement coverage, both parts and labor, from Apple-authorized technicians.

This same thing happened to me. I was told you have to buy a new one, not get a refurbished model.

I'm sorry to say that there is now way to get the screen repaired without buying a replacement. Now on the other hand, to be safe I would probably buy an Iphone and get Apple Care that way you are guarenteed that if it ever happens again you can get it fixed for free. I had the same problem, I dropped my ipod at the park and a duck stepped on it. If your Ipod is still within its warranty you can buy a replacement for only $99.00. The warranty doesn't include accidental damages though so if you want a ipod you will have to get a replacement, sorry, but don't worry everything will be on the new one that you have now, they will back it up to icloud.
Battery¹
Included earphones and accessories
Coverage for up to two incidents of accidental damage,² each subject to a $49 service fee

Please stop posting misleading information.
