iPad 2 screen replacement ideas?

If you are planning on getting the iPad 4 relatively soon, it doesn't make sense to pay apple for the repair. Do it yourself or just live with it.

 

For the OP, not sure what Apple would charge for this repair, but check iFixit HERE if you are considering a repair yourself - $120 or so @ that site for the parts/kit. Of course, the other issue if the screen is not repaired concerns the re-sale value (I'd want a reduced price and would also worry that the device had been dropped - assume it is working fine?). So, these are issues that only you can really decide - appears that you will be getting a 'new' iPad, so the main question is how much you may make on the iPad 2 depending on its repair status? Good luck -

 

Are you the main character from Memento? The iPad 2 came out like 2 years ago...

In all seriousness, though, I would just tough it out until the fall. When I sold my iPad 2 last year, I saw loads of broken/cracked screen iPads on eBay going for nearly full price. Even broken Apple products hold value, evidently.

 

Based on what I can see on eBay. It's better to sell as is. You'll get around $100 to $160 for it. If you attempt to replace the screen, you'll spend around $120 and that will only raise the value to about $240.
