I have a supplier I get my parts from but you can check amazon, they might have some.
You can repair it of you know how but if you have any doubts bring it to a apple store. I repeat....any doubts at all. More damage can be done if its not done right.
Don't repair it yourself, just go to an Apple Retail Store to get a replacement, generally if people try it themselves it doesn't work as well if at all, and voids any warranty you may have on it.
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.

My iPad2 is under a year old. It has a black soft-rigid case and got bumped off the desk, hitting the floor on the (unprotected) corner of the unit. Would this be covered if I took it to the Apple Store?
No
If its under warrantee and under a year old, definitely bring it in. If no warrantee, still bring it in. Get prices at least to fix it...who knows they may just throw you a new one since its under a year old.
Dmingo-
The replacement price at an Apple Store may be higher than the repair price at an Apple Authorized Repair Center. <Apple Authorized Repair Centers>
If it is out of warranty, there are independent repair centers that may have even lower prices.
