iPad 3 glass cracked, DIY?

DriversEd

hi,
i've cracked the glass at the top of the 2 week old ipad 3, clever boy!!
is this something i can fix myself, or should i go to someone to get it done?
its cracked at the top on the right side, but not onto the screen. in the black area if you know where i mean?

any advice is appreciated,

I wouldn't replace it myself if I were you, too much can go wrong when doing it. Bring it to a repair shop, it'll work out better in the end. Or try your luck with apple, they might repair it for you for free

That is only the frame and doesn't fix the cracked glass.What you need is this:
