Your Tablet is Not a Frisbee (Unless You Want Us Richer)
iPads don’t fly, but people keep testing that theory. When your tablet takes a dive and comes crashing down, it’s not game over – at least not if you’re near Barrie. Cracked iPad screens are our specialty at Barrie Screen Repair. We’ve seen it all: the toddler flinging an iPad like a frisbee, the off-the-roof slip, the “oops, it fell off the couch” scenario. The truth is, tablets (mostly iPads) don’t bounce, and shattered glass is the usual result. But don’t worry – when that happens, we bring your device back to life fast and make it look like the accident never happened.
Let’s face it: iPads are everywhere – in kids’ hands, on kitchen counters, balancing on car seats – so accidents are bound to happen. Here are some of the most common “tablet tragedy” scenarios we encounter in our shop:
Gravity Checks (Drops and Falls): The number-one culprit. An iPad slipping from your hands or tumbling off a table can put a nice spiderweb pattern on the screen. One short fall onto a hard floor can crack even the latest model’s glass. (No, Apple hasn’t invented a shatterproof iPad yet.)
Kid Catastrophes: Little ones treat tablets like toys. We’ve seen iPads that went flying during a tantrum or got stepped on during hide-and-seek. (Pro tip: an iPad makes a poor Frisbee or stepping stool – your kids may think otherwise!)
Sit, Squish & Squeeze: Often, a tablet left on a couch or chair gets sat on, or one crammed in a overstuffed backpack ends up with a crushed display. iPads are slim, but that also means they’re not thrilled about supporting your body weight or heavy textbooks.
Mystery Cracks: Sometimes customers swear “it just cracked on the table by itself!” 😅 We’re not here to judge – whether it was a change in temperature, a tiny weak point, or the cat’s secret mischief, a crack can appear even without a dramatic drop. The result is the same: a screen that needs fixing.
Junior’s Got an Arm
If your toddler can throw an iPad across the room, maybe skip the T-ball league and head straight for Major League tryouts. We’ll fix the screen while you sign the contract.
The point is, a cracked tablet screen is incredibly common. Especially with iPads – we fix far more iPads than any other tablet (seriously, the number of non-iPad tablets we get in a year, we could count on one hand). So if it happens to you, know that you’re definitely not alone – and we’re ready to help.
Cracked Screen? Repair It or Replace the iPad?
When your iPad screen shatters, you might wonder if you should just retire the device and get a new one. Here’s why screen repair is usually the smarter move:
Cost Savings: Replacing an iPad with a new one can cost a small fortune, especially if it’s a Pro or latest gen model. A screen replacement is just a fraction of that cost. You’ll save money and extend the life of your tablet.
Device Life & Performance: Apart from the cracked glass, your iPad is likely perfectly fine. The internal components (cameras, speakers, logic board) are built to last years. Why throw away a good device just because the front glass is busted? Fix the screen and your iPad is as good as new – all your apps, photos, and settings just as you left them.
Hazards of a Broken Screen: Using an iPad with a cracked screen isn’t just annoying (those glass splinters and phantom touches!). It can be dangerous too – shattered glass can cut your fingers, and a deep crack might let moisture or dust seep into the device and cause more damage. Repairing it promptly keeps both you and your iPad safe.
Quick Turnaround vs. Hassle of New Device: Getting a new iPad means transferring data, re-installing apps, and possibly dealing with warranties or contracts. In contrast, a professional repair can be done same-day or within a day or two, getting you back in action much faster with zero setup headaches.
Unless your iPad is ancient (and maybe due for retirement for other reasons), fixing the screen is absolutely worth it. It’s eco-friendly (less electronic waste) and wallet-friendly. And with the right repair shop, the results will make your iPad look like the accident never even happened.
DIY? Don’t Even Try
Fixing an iPad screen yourself is like cutting your own hair: messy, dangerous, and everyone will know you messed up. Let us handle it — no bandages required.

More Than Just Screens (Other iPad Issues We Fix)
Screen smash-ups might be the most common tablet issue, but don’t let our name fool you – we handle all kinds of iPad problems. While we’ll keep the spotlight on screens (since that’s today’s topic), it’s good to know we’re a one-stop shop for iPad repair. Some other woes we can solve:
Battery Not Holding Charge: If your iPad’s battery life has gone from 10 hours to 10 minutes, or it dies abruptly at 30%, you probably need a battery replacement. We can swap in a fresh battery so your iPad keeps going all day again – no more living on the charger. (Check out our iPad battery replacement service for details.)
Charging Port Problems: Have to wiggle the cable just right to get a charge? Or the connector feels loose? We fix charging port issues too. A new charging port means no more playing the balancing game with your cable – just plug in and charge like normal. (See our charging port repair info for how we can help.)
Other Hardware Repairs: Buttons not working, cameras cracked, speakers no sound – you name it. If your iPad has another issue, chances are we’ve seen it and fixed it before. We can diagnose and repair most hardware issues quickly.
That said, screen repairs are by far the star of the show. It’s the repair we do day in, day out, so you can trust that your cracked screen is in expert hands with us. We just want you to know that if you’re having other troubles with your iPad, we’ve got your back there too.
