My car got broken into a couple nights ago and with that were GPS, radar detector, baton, a bunch of change, and my beats headphones. I know insurance will cover a stolen phone, but what about stolen headphones? I'm pretty pissed about it and I really enjoyed those headphones.

I don't think they'll cover them, call them and see what they say.
Dunno, I know that when my left ear went out they wanted me to ship them in order to receive the others.

That should be covered by HTC's one year warranty on the phone and parts though, not asurion.
Verizon's description of Total Equipment Coverage (Assurion insurance) mentions "covered accessories." You'll have to dig deeper to see what those might be. But, a claim has a $45 deductible. You can only make 2 claims a year. You can get a pair of new Beats off eBay for ~$50 if you watch (there's a BIN for $65 out there right now).
So, is it worth $5-20 to use up one of your insurance claims?
verizon never even sent me any earbuds. your probably better off buying a cheap pair on ebay.
I had break in and lost all my electronics except my phone and tablet (had them at work). Unfortunately I didn't have my iBeats with me. I asked a sales rep. at Verizon and she said probably not, but to give it a try. I didn't think of it again until I saw this post. I'll let y'all know how it goes.

Depending on your car insurance, they might cover them even if HTC or Verizon doesn't...

You need to check the reputation of the seller before you buy from E-Bay.
And even than you are not sure about the quality of the battery.
The best is to buy the original battery recommended by HTC.
Actually, the best thing to do is, whenever you even remotely consider buying something from ebay, have a friend whack you in the head with a brick. There's a reason why the prices on ebay are so low...it's cause 99% of the products are either advertised as something they are not, or the seller is a straight up scammer and won't send you anything at all. Feedback is useless; there are networks of scammers out there who generate feedback for each other that appears to be legitimate.
If I sound a bit disgruntled, I'm sorry, but so far over the past 3 months I've lost over 500$ on ebay and STILL waiting for paypal dispute resolution to take care of it.

......................although; one can always have a great experience, bar the 2 cars I have bought! (Cars were under £200!)
Ebay is good but you have to do alot of research, just received the Seinheiser CX500 headphones.......fantastic and the world is far away due to the quality.........
Will
That's cool...I know I have had SOME good transactions on ebay, but I just hate the fact that when things go wrong they seem to tell you that they will help fix it when they dont...they need to regulate things more, because there are so many scammers on ebay...i would bet my life that there are at least 100 people gettimg scammed right this second
BTW Seinheiser is great..I've tried those and I liked them
For wired headphones though i use Ultimate Ears in ear monitors...theyre amazing but they cost ALOT
I'm trying to some some studio quality bluetooth headphones at the moment with no avail
Ebay
I get just about all of my phone accessories on ebay. Most of the stuff while cheap does what they say. True feedback does not mean much but I have bought all my extra batteris there and saved a lot of money. $ 12 for a battery there compaired to $40-50 eleswhere. I think it is worth a try.
I second surgex0. When stuff goes wrong ebay/paypal doesn't care.
And batteries - I got some 'new' batteries once that were original branded but lasted 20% my store bought batteries did. I'd stay away.
Well will be phone less a while. Dropped the phone today, a little over 3 feet. Landed face down and now looks like I hit it with a sledge hammer. So now I get to start saving to get it replaced under warranty. Ugh. Can't wait, the roms just starting coming out. Lol

With a phone this big is just a question of when you are going to drop it.
I have Best Buy's protection. It will cover shattered screens and the repair cost is always zero. (No deductible) I wouldn't get a phone like this without insurance.
Yea; I heard ATTs insurance deductible is $200. Thats rough..
here are some action shots. have half the cash for the deductible. woohoo!
Sad.... It must have fell just at the right angle.

So much for Gorilla Glass? I'm starting to rethink my "forget insurance, I'll never see it" policy.
What about SquareTrade? That's who I have used in the past and who I plan to go with for my Note. Basically the same coverage as Best Buy but you pay one price and no monthly fees. I believe they have a $50 deductible per claim but as far as I know, so does Best Buy. I could be wrong on this. Plus, isn't Best Buy's plan $15 per month? ($15 x 24 months = $360)
i think i may go get best buys insurance tomorrrow.. i'm pretty sure its 9.99 a month, but I will double check. was looking at ATT insurance and its ... not as good. Ive never had insurance before but with this phone.... man.. I think i'll need it. I already dropped it once.

BB insurance is $15 for the iphone. Its $9.99/month (or $170 for one time up front payment) for the Note and other smartphones. It is $0 deductible for both. Its true BB protection doesn't cover loss or theft. But phones are dropped a lot more than they are stolen.
Squaretrade (IMHO) is the next best deal if you dont buy your phone from BB.

Except you're forgetting to factor in probability. If it were truly a good deal for you, BB and att wouldn't offer it. I'm comfortable with my phone in a case and sp (for the first time but it is a big ass screen) , and I always have it on person. Loss/theft hasn't happened to me... well I've never lost a phone, and the one I dropped in a toilet... fixed well enough, and the one in puddle... was due an upgrade. Long story short, everything I would've paid towards insurance in the 10 yrs I've had smartphones would have bought me more than enough off-contract phones.

That's good to know about BB's deductible being zero. That does help. What sold me on SquareTrade is that you pay right around $90 one time. You just need to wait until they have a 30% off deal (which is really often) otherwise it cost $125.

To be honest I have never checked. My last device had a really easy process for returning to stock and unrooting but of course if the device is dead then it does not matter how easy that process is. I would think that rooting a device will void any warranty if a person is caught.

I just found this thread on another forum that compares Ensquared with SquareTrade. I will be checking out Ensquared now.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...aretrade-cell-phone-insurance.html#post942795
Interesting relevant comment I found on that for squartrade vs ensquared:
Ensquared only covers accidental physical damage and lost/stolen...they don't fix technical things with the devices or cover that. Bricking your phone would be considered misuse as far as Ensquared goes. With Squaretrade there is a chance they would cover it as long as they can't tell that you were trying to root the phone which caused it to brick. Since they cover malfunctions there is a chance they will cover it. I don't know if there is a way to tell that you were screwing with it or not.

So i went into BB the other day to check out if they had any cases for my Note. And of course i was talking to the guy and he asked where i got it. I said AT&T being it was $100 cheaper being i bought it at full retail price.
He says you should have gotten it from here, you should return it and re-buy from us. He says they work on non-commish & is just looking out for me? Hahah i chucked at first. So i BS with him and he tells me about this $9.99 accidental insurance plan that they replace the phone even if you took it home and smashed it with a hammer and brought it back in a dust pan. But you have to buy the phone from them. It also can be canceled at any time there is no contract on this like a warranty on a car. Interesting.
So if you figure like me i prefer my phone naked but need a case for accidental drops. You go and spend $40 on a case or even $80 being you will prob buy two maybe even 3. I am super anal with my electronics, but need protection when i go out. Like out drinking with the buds and i "accidentally" fumble the phone on the concrete. So that is either 4 months of worry free coverage or 8 months coverage. Seems to good to be true.
Anyone know anything about this? Or have it?
This may not sound super good for people who bought it at $300 but those of use who bought it for $650 it sounds much better. Ive already seen quite a few cracked screen threads on here.
He wasn't lying he doesnt get paid on commission. But as far as the protection plan its not a bad deal, considering that's there no deductible and you can service it as many times as you want. The only knock in my opinion it doesn't cover lost or stolen.

Yup, thats another thing. There is no deductible which is awesome. I think at&t has a $200 dollar one or something crazy like that. Hell, my Note already slide behind my bed. I fell asleep browsing with it. I have a IKEA bed with a open back headboard and it slipped right down off the wall I heard it i thought it was the Direct TV remote, my heart literally dropped in my stomach!

It is cheaper but if you lose your phone kiss it goodbye... it doesn't cover lost/stolen and honestly. .. They claim as long as your phone has a front facing camera, once reported stolen it snaps a pic of the person who has it in possession. I have it on my SII but haven't lost it (knock on wood).

Exactly. I bought two Galaxy Notes from ATT for retail a few days ago. My GF would rather wait until her upgrade in May and save the $300 so i am gonna return hers to ATT. But i am deff gonna get hers from BB mobile come May with that protection plan.
Like i said i am super anal with my devices so i am not worry about scratching it, more worried about that oh **** moment. I tend to leave my phone on my lap when i drive and forget its there when i get out lol . Id rather take the $40 i would spend on cases and throw that towards the protection for $9.99 a month. Just for piece of mind.
I'm sure i could cut out some dumb stuff to makeup for that $10 bucks a month lol.
Does anybody know how long you have to add that from purchase date? Sounds like a pretty good thing to take a look into.

I did this plus the $36 on buyback (only at that price when you buy warranty at time of phone purchase so they say). The piece of mind is the best thing about it plus the buy back gives me atleast the commitment price in 18 months that's pretty nice!

The BB no deductible is cool, but I like the accidental with lost/stolen add-on of AT&T for the same price. Granted that $200 Deductible hurts but I have had more phones lost/stolen than totally destroyed and the Note would be really attractive to thieves.

Got mine from Best Buy yesterday, and I think it's just hardwired into me to decline any sort of extended warranty, and the sales guy wasn't pushy at all so the conversation lasted about 5 seconds. I've never had a phone broken/lost, etc (knock on wood!) but I can see the benefit as long as they are true to their policy. Just can't justify adding $10 a month for it.
Though it's nice to see I have 30 days to change my mind.
my brother also purchased the streak from bb for 99 and paid the one time fee for their coverage and used it for 6 months. He ended up getting the iphone 4 for free and they refunded his full warranty payment minus the 6 months that he used so he ended up making money back from his warranty and got the iphone 4 which was 200 at the time for the price he paid for the streak.
I had their insurance when I purchased my atrix...screen broke 2 months later and it took a month and a half to get a new phone...service was terrible I had no phone for a month and a half.I don't recommend it but its your choice.

the store most likely messed up the processing of the claim... if you sent it in for rapid exchange, the process is 3-5 days. if you send it in to have your unit repaired, the max would be 32-34 days (2-4 days to get to the service center - depends on what day the store ships it or if it is a weekend). at that time they can request a junkout due to it being out to repair for too long...

I dont think they do loaners. Im keeping my insurance with bb until i get the otter box and the screen comes down in price. The insurance is about 240.00 for the 2 years and seems screens are closed to that as it is now. Lost, stolen, water damage and other are of not real worries to me. I have not have a problem that requires a cellphone replacement out of warranty ever! I had cellphones since the earlies 90s.
Does BB check if you flashed your ROM or not? If they do find out that you flashed your ROM, they can deny protection plan warranty right?
Also, can you cancel it anytime? In a span of 2 weeks, my note got replace once. On thursday, it will get replaced again. With this trend, I think BB protection plan is a good idea. They mentioned that if I will have my phone replaced, I could buy BB protection plan (even though I didn't buy it initially) I am planning of buying this protection plan and if I'm sure I got a good reliable galaxy note phone, I will cancel the protection right away. Probably after 2-3 months.
Is that a good plan?
You can cancel anytime when you are in the month to month. That they assured me because that is what I plan to do once I get the otter box and the display replacement drops a little more.
I purchased my phone from walmart and have no protection plan and I cancelled Sprint TEP because of the ridiculous prices. What's the pros and cons of squaretrade and do I have any other option?

I have heard good and bad with them. Some people love them. I know of a post over at macrumors of a person would had a claim with them on a ipad2 he had insured. They kept it for 3 weeks, and when it came back...it was in worse shape. They had replaced the screen, but the frame was bent (as if someone beat in the new screen), and the corners of the ipad had been filled down.
Anyway, that person was unhappy. If I remember correctly, squaretrade, after some arguing, replaced the ipad completely. Still....makes you hesitate with them.
Never the less, I have heard good things as well.

Yes the Otterbox Defender as well as the Commuter comes with a screen guard built in. Did she have any kind of protection on the phone at all? A screen protector, a case of any kind?

Yes, she had a TPU case. Same cases we used with our EVOs and dropped many times without any issues...
And just curious how big was the drop, I've been using TPU cases on mine but will sell those and stick with the Otterbox full time instead of just when I'm around a bunch of kids if the drop was less then 4 foot.
I'd say it was right around 3.5 - 4 ft...
really 150$!!! i thought it was 100$$ cause when i lost my og evo they sent me the evo 3d and it was 100$
Pay with a credit card? Check with them, most card providers offer 90 accidental coverage.
Guess it's time to get rid of my TPU cases and stick with the Otterbox.
Will sprint replace the glass? When I had my evo (about a year old at the time), they replaced the glass in the store for only $30, might be worth asking.
