I'm considering AC+ for my SE since, when thinking about it - I do a lot of things, that put my phone in harms way. In the past I've always just bought a new device at full price. But time are tougher right now. More $ for phones mean less $ for other activities.
When I look through the fine print on AC+ web site, it basically says that you may be denied 'accidental' coverage if you are doing something that puts your phone in danger.
So. For those who are in the know - [before I go into Apple store and talk about it] - would AC+ give me a repair, or replacement in these situations? [i know I have to pay a fee]
1. Filming cliff jumpers with slo mo and phone falls into the lake and is recovered dead.
2. Running across the street to catch the bus, the phone falls out of my pocket onto the road and gets run over by cars.
3. Up on high rocky embankment taking photos of mountain bike daredevils I get hit and phone drops and smashes onto rocks below.
4. Using slow motion video while falling from the sky before opening parachute and when i do open it the phone falls out of my hand from about 10,000 feet. And it is found (unlikely
, smashed.
5. Phone mounted onto front of bike (pedal or motor) to film race and accident ensues and phone is trashed.
6. descending a mountain road on my bike at close to 90kmh/55mph and hit a bump and phone ends up sliding down a pavement road for a few minutes until it's just scratched metal and glass.
7. While cycling, a sudden downpour soaks me and my phone killing it.
8. I'm at a pool party filming the fun stuff when, as a joke someone pushes me into the pool, killing my phone.
9. After packing my car, i forget my phone on the roof and drive away, it falls to the ground getting dented and shattered.
10.When tending a large camp fire my phone is thrown into it by a jealous ex girlfriend, burning it beyond use.
I'm sure there are more, but you get the idea....
