There may be hope
I know a guy who dropped his ipad 2 and got it replaced for free at the Apple store.
It was about a year ago, and I don't know all of his circumstances, but he took it to the iphone ER in Tampa and a place called ScrewBox in Tampa...they sent him back to the Apple Store and he go a new one for free.
Sometimes they will do it for good will...worth a try if you don't mind going to Tampa (I presume that is the closest one to you).
I also did buy the Apple Care for my new one...some peace of mind...and I also don't usually buy such stuff...but I have some rough grandsons.
Calling there won't work....you must go in and try...worth the effort if in the area.
Good luck!
