DIY iPad screen replacement: It saves money, but it's not for the faint of heart

iPads are great for kids, but kids aren't always that good for iPads. One stray elbow, and your pristine tablet has a spider web of cracks dancing across its screen. No matter how careful we try to be, a cracked or shattered screen is just one accident away. If you paid the $99 for AppleCare for your iPad (available only�within 30 days of purchase), and your tablet suffers accidental damage, Apple will replace your broken iPad up to twice, for $49 each time, during the two-year coverage period. Otherwise, getting it fixed by Apple can cost you $200 to $300 dollars. There are also plenty of third-party mail-in or drop-off services (if you've been to a mall lately, you've probably noticed a kiosk that fixes phones and tablets), but there's another, more hands-on way to go: Fix the broken screen yourself.Related Stories
