Just the casing, and aluminum costs more than $4 for that much material, also have to factor in the cost of electricity to manufacture that piece.
Got a tip for us?

Another option besides the fill and stray method would be to contact a paint-less dent removal specialist in your area. These guys take dents out of cars for a living. They might laugh at you or they might give it a shot and fix it. They have a tool that does pull out dents from the outside. I've seem them use it and they could attach it to your iPad and pull out the dent. It's worth a call. Good luck.
This is Urgent!!!!?
The "small dent" can't be any more annoying than the repetition of reading "small dent" seven times...
Bondo and alu paint is already mentioned, but if you lack the skill to do it, just go to your nearest auto body shop,
they will remove the dent or fill it and spray paint it, and you will never know it's there.
and while you are there, let them spray some bed-liner on the back, that stuff is very strong.

One day you will learn the real meaning of the word "Urgent", then you will realise how inappropriate it is for this posting.
My iPad, which I basically stopped using after buying a MB, looks like it went to war and back. With dents and scratches and places where the color has worn away. And it still functions. I am in fact very proud of that tough little bugger.
I don't believe cosmetic are being covered with ac plus

Sell it.
I haven't encounter replacing cosmetic. So if it is possible, what is the price?
PC World are barely capable of explaining what an iPad does with their useless staff. I hardly think they can remove a dent. Not sure what planet you live on where you think this is a possibility. Put a case on it and forget it.
Haha. PC World are pretty much CAPABLE of explaining what a iPad does and definitely knows how to fix iPads and tablets!!
But what do you mean that PC World are not capable and useless with iPads?? I am very curious.....
Maybe you just saying that because you had a bad experience with PC World! Well for me I have had plenty of good experiences and never ever had a bad experience with PC World especially when trying to repair my tablets and my gadgets!!
Bro, consider yourself lucky. You're going to own that iPad a long time, and it's going to get scuffed, scratched, and dented. It won't be pristine forever. You've gotten the initial sting out of the way. What should you do now? Appreciate you own a fantastic piece of hardware, take it out into the world, and use it happily. Hell, I bought a used one that wasn't perfect, and I've never been worried about its cosmetics (besides the screen, to a degree).
