I figured I would share my sorrow to possibly save some of you some money. Both my wife and I own ipads, she has the 3G, so she has only had it for a bit over a week, and the cases are on backorder. Either way she is not the most careful person, so today the worst happened, she tripped and the iPad hit the floor, glass is shattered, it still works fine, but the glass is toast. So I placed the dreadful call to apple support, and of course this is a non warranty issue and not covered under apple care as no glass ever is even with the iPhone.
The shock came when they told me they did not offer a glass replacement, they only offer a full replacement as a cost of $269
Anyway the moral of the story, if you bought an iPad treat it like it is as fragile as crystal to avoid his absurd charge of 269
