Title: iPad repair recommendations
Post by: Im Reddy on Tuesday, August 27, 2013, 18:36:58
So I've dropped my iPad from a great height. Screen survived and it works fine, but want to get the back casing replaced. Google only brings up repairs via post which is a bit iffy; can anyone recommend a reliable company that does repairs? thanks

Worth going into an official store to get their opinion...my brother's 5-year old dropped theirs, and got a very good deal on a new one, without any valid warranty....

Mine fell off the work top earlier in the year. The glass just crazed, completely different to a car windscreen, nasty splinters all over the place so be warned. I sent mine back to HO and one of the IT bods replaced the screen, however if the casing is damaged then it's a pig of a repair as the new class won't always fit back!!! Good luck.

It is the back unfortunately- all bent out if shape and there's now a gap between the case and screen on one corner, god knows how the screen survived.

I fear that could be the dearest repair option. IIRC IT bod said screen was peanuts  :(

A friend of mine used these and had no problems.   I think there's also a place on Commercial Road, but I don't know what it's called.
