Get over it. Neither of your attempts at humour are funny. Stop trying so hard.

I wasn't trying to be funny, I've almost sat on my iPad twice before lol

Sure it was a plastic spoon?

our original ipad is still going strong despite many drops being stood on by toddlers and general abuse that a house with 3 kids under 10 can throw at it. apart from a few scratches on the rear casing its fine. OP that is just wow.

looks like it was hit with a hammer to me.

just saying

A mate of mine's housemate managed to break the screen on his new iPad whilst closing the smart cover on it. He's no idea how/why it broke the screen, nor did Apple - but they gave him a new one.

For non believers I would read this:

Yes and I've seen it, but those pictures clearly show an impact point, not breakage and shattering from spontaeous glass breakage. You can see the impact point and it wasn't caused by a plastic spoon. A plastic baby spoon at that.

SPOON-HAMMER!

Maybe she thought it was faulty and the only way to get a replacement was to smash it to get a new one all together, and then say she dropped a spoon on it.

That looks like proper impact damage. Send your mrs into the apple shop with a low cut top on. If they don't do it for free then it shouldn't be too expensive as its only the glass and digitiser that's smashed, not the actual screen

Sorry, but if I was in a shop and a customer told me that damage was caused by a plastic spoon, there'd be lols amighty.

King Damager · 7 Apr 2012 at 17:13

Seriously a spoon? If you told me it was a giant metal ladel I might believe you but no way was that a spoon....

Ask her what she really did to it o.O

It'll be all one unit though. So the fact the screen isn't smashed doesn't really matter.

The digitisers are separate units to the displays, it cost me about £35 for the part the last time I changed one on an iPad 2.

It's a horrible job though that I wouldn't wish on anyone.

I'm not due on IRC for a good 8 months mate! Although as it's not my iPad I'm not enormously fussed, I'm happy with the iPod Touch and iTunes

Man, I want to see this spoon!

I would probably believe a metal spoon, but plastic?
