My iPad is all destroyed, cosmetically, and software wise!

Hey, my friend dropped my ipad 3 recently, and now where you plug in the charger, is all damaged, and destroyed! Now, also, the battery doesn't work, and the plug doesn't fit in the port hole without a push, but no force. The whole thing is falling apart, with glitches, turning off by itself, and total battery drainage, in like 10 minutes, the whole battery life is gone!!!! Everyone says I'll get one free. Will I?

iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 6.0.1

Yeah, i dont think so, more likely than not you can get out of warranty repair that'll be less than a new ipad but still probably pretty pricey.
