I'm seeing if it's worth buying it now to get instant coverage, or just wait later on....

Anyone already purchase one for the instant coverage?
 
I bought a couple days ago. I've never had insurance or worried about it, but this time around something just told me it was better to get it. It'll work out to be $50/yr (plan on keeping this model the two years) which isn't bad if you have to use it. I'm not worried about theft or losing it.

I've never dropped any phone I've had for the past 10 years (incl. the original and 3GS), but it figures that since this one is glass it'll probably be the one I drop.

Better off to get the warranty!
 
Just bought it for my iPad and will buy it for my new phone once I get it. I'm always worried I'll drop mine. Also, I have a 4 year old son... Need I say more😉.
 
Yep - bought it the other day after pre-order. Seemed like a better option than the $69 apple care which covers crap and the #12/month AT&T rip off (not including their huge deductible).
 
I have one on my iPad and I purchased the same for my i4 this afternoon. Better safe than sorry and if I "upgrade" next year, I can get a prorated refund of the unused portion of the warranty.
 
Got mine yesterday with the 35% off. Don't forget that you can refer your friends to squaretrade and get $5 each.
