I've gotten it. I swear by it. They sent me 7 brand new galaxy nexus before I finally just bought an s3, only paid $100 once

I'm planning on buying insurance through squaretrade or ensquared (whichever i get the best coupon code discount for)
It's less expensive and has a lower deductible.

The downside to their insurance is once you make a claim, you will have to purchase another 2 year plan to be covered. But I've ready squaretrade policy is very good and most customer are very happy with how they deal with claims.
Ignore the above statement. It's completely wrong. I just called and you can make multiple claims on the policy.

I'm very curious as to these two options. Which would you prefer? Ensquared is a little cheaper, however, coverage won't start until 30 days after the purchase of the protection plan?

To be honest, I'm still investigating which one as well.
I've got some info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769729
And it's making me think about the Best Buy plan too. But so far, I'm leaning ensquared.
Edit: To clarify, what pulls me to Ensquared more is the lower price, coverage for lost/stolen and I believe they allow 3 claims through a 2 year period.

Well, Ensquare's first claim is $75, but each subsequent claim is $100.
From their website: $75 deductible fee per claim
. All 2nd and 3rd claims carry a $25 additional deductible for admin charges. -Source: http://www.ensquared.com/catalog/phone-insurance/2-year-phone-insurance-smartphone
Also, you can get SquareTrade coverage for $99 on Amazon. So basically, the difference is just the first claim, the $24 difference.
EDIT: Opps, there's some more info about Ensquare's deductible:
A non-refundable thirty-five dollar ($35) deductible maintenance fee will be collected for each authorized claim for the Covered Product under one hundred and fifty dollars ($150). A non-refundable fifty dollar ($50) deductible maintenance fee will be collected for each authorized claim for the Covered Product valued between one hundred and fifty dollars ($150) and three hundred dollars ($300). A non-refundable seventy-five dollar ($75) deductible maintenance fee will be collected for each authorized claim for the Covered Product over three hundred dollars ($300) or any type of Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs). An additional twenty-five dollars ($25) maintenance fee will be charged to the Member for the second claim and third claim .

I can't find anything from SquareTrade that's something like that as well. As far as I know from what the sales rep told me, all claims have a $99 deductible.

I would have said ripoff had I not used it twice now. First time I didn't even have it until after I needed it. Just so happened my email invite came right after my gnex jumped off my motorcycle. A few scrapes, but they bothered me. Second time I went for a swim trying to launch my boat. Not a bad deal when you consider a $400-800 device price tag.

I got asurion for mine, its been good to me. I've gone from a DI 2 to a DGlobal 2 to a Droid 3 all replaced with out an extra fee.

---

Asurion is with verizon right? I ordered mine from walmart online. I assume I can still get Asurion and then if something happens, go to a verizon store and leave with a new phone. I assume with squaretrade I will have to use an old phone and it will take at least a week to get a new one? If not more with shipping each way.

Used asurion with my broken screen. Paid $130 deductible

Asurion is good. Just know that it doesn't cover malfunctions or phone issues.

How did you get out of paying the deductible? I'm assuming that's what you meant by extra fee.

Well none had broken screens nor water damage. Never had to pay any deductible, all phones were replaced because of internal hardware issue as how VZW reps would put it on the claim

So i should do ensquared over asurion? What's the more reliable and less hassle option??

If you plan on purchasing your phone from VZW then I recommend asurion. I've been with VZW over 5 years and all my phones had asurion. Haven't had any problems dealing with them so far.

Asurion was pretty good, the deductible was pretty bad tho when the phone was like $400 and they wanted $200 lol

for assurian, If you already have the phone, unless you get an invite by email, I think you'll have to go to the store and they have to 'look at it'. Before I got my insurance online, I took it in and they saw it was already damaged and said, no. Also, no, you won't leave the store with a new phone, they will overnight a phone to you and you get a shipping package to send the old one back. Also, may get a refurb if you use your insurance

I think both my deductibles were $100, it might vary by device?

I think am going to add a rider to my home insurance policy. Only costs about 30 bucks a year and will cover all of our computer devices. There is a 50 dollar deductible and I get a check to replace the device rather than the refurb I would get with asurion. I read this tip here on another thread and checked with my agent about what coverage they offered. Much cheaper than the other cell coverage plans, covers all of our devices, lower deductible, and no refurbished phones as replacement. Unless I am missing something it seems like a no brainer.

Won't a claim against your home insurance policy increase the rate, no matter how small the claim and payout would be?
