Well, it's finally happened. The kids has cracked our iPad screen. The screen is ok it's just the glass over the top that's cracked. I've been looking at replacing it myself and I'm looking for suggestions of where to buy a decent replacement piece of glass and kit.

There are plenty on eBay for around £20 and vids on YouTube. However, some of the feedback for the sellers regarding quality aren't that great.

Any suggestions for a decent seller or website would be great.

    if it's like the Iphone5 the £20 kits are useless as you only get the glass, and the glass & screen are sonically bonded together so can only be split/conjoined in a factory environment. The people on ebay selling just the glass conveniently fail to mention the above

    My advice is contact your local Apple Store, they replaced my daughter's IP5 with a reconditioned one for £100. Half the price it would have cost just to buy the screen off the internet., then you have to fit the darn thing yourself.

    Hope this helps
