Its highly likely the case is broken and the camera will be un-repairable. You can send it to Nikon for evaluation, there will be no charge for this. If it cannot be repaired they will return it for free. If it is repairable they will email you an estimate and you can decide if its worth the cost then.
My guess is that the damage is going to be pretty bad. I get the 'Press Shutter release again' Error message and it won't go into 'Liveview' mode. Externally the case appears to be intact but there is a slight misalignment between the flash housing area and the front cover...... Probably would not be too hard to determine if there is internal damage to the case in that area.... I may just follow your suggestion & send it in & let them give me an estimate....
