I am trying to figure out which warranty to purchase. There is Best Buy, Square Trade and AppleCare extended. Does anyone have any experience with any of these? I have had applecare in the past, but they don't cover accidental damage. I have heard that if your phone is under applecare the might cover accidental damage for a higher fee. Anyone know what that is?
Got a tip for us?

Best Extended Warranty?

Not too sure, but I heard the same about Apple. The Geek Squad Black Tie insurance coverage seems pretty cool. They cover accidental stuff, like dropping it, which is what happened to me just a few hours ago. lol so I'm probably going to end up waiting a couple of days for the insurance to be processed and then see if they can repair my phone's cracked screen.
So idk, Best Buy seems fine with me.

You seriously dropped your brand new phone and cracked the screen? That sucks. Sorry brother!
Honestly...i would go for personal liability insurance. I have one for state farm, there is no deductible and it covers stolen as well. It costs somewhere around $50 a year. Might try to give your local state farm agent a call.
Yes, dude. I felt like a complete jackass! Haha. But it's all good. Insurance is handy.
