Try looking for a local repair shop on Craigslist. I reckon it should be anywhere from $30-$60 to fix.
even with the plastic cracked on the bottom?
According to this, it looks like Apple will fix it for 100

For 100 bucks, I'd do it with apple. Even if a 3rd party will do it for a few bucks less, you'd loose your warranty - and that would suck if you ever needed it.
Is that a 5? with such light weight, i thought it wouldn't crack so bad.
I suggest you pay for apple replacement, might cost more but at least the warrenty is still there.

Just pay $99 to Apple and get the replacement. iPod touch 4g screens are pretty much unrepairable.
This. I tried replacing one, and I ended up destroying it because I didn't ground it. It destroyed the boards. Those replacement screens are hard to keep on afterwards anyway.
We had a cracked 4G touch screen repaired by an outfit in Chicago last year. Cost $70 and they did a great job.
Given the plastic is cracked on the OP's touch, best to go with Apple.
