My Ipad is just out of the Apple Warranty and it is acting up.  The screen is not really rotating anymore and it keeps freezing.  I got it a little over a year ago.  I bought it on my SPG card.  I filed a warranty claim and they told me that I need to get in writing a "repair estimate" that says I need a new one.  Any idea where I can get one?

Find a friend who fixes computer hardware and have him give you an invoice/estimate for repair of your iPad.

Ethics aside, you can create the estimate yourself.

i don't think they will if its under 12 months. Their warranty only kicks in after the manufacturer warranty afaik.

Go to apple, they will give you an estimate and put it on paper for you. Submit that to amex and your good to go.
