Just recently received the email saying AppleCare is available to you NLT January 30, 2012. So I purchased AC for my original iPad & my iPad2...
Got a tip for us?

I always self insure for this kind of thing, I take out no extra waranty cover for anything in the house including computers, a dedicated insurance note is used rarely for some items that travel.
On the whole I make a big profit from this.

A year. You have until the initial warranty (always 1 year for Apple products) expires to purchase AppleCare.
You have one year from the date of purchase and that's the same with the iPhone. iPads & iPhones have 90 of telephone assistance...
Hey guys, I don't know what are the actual benefits of having Apple Care for the iPad. I haven't had an Apple Care for any of my previous Apple products, and never had a problem with it.
Although it says they will replace your dead battery, i dont know if anyone has actually used other services. Just curious.

He's thinking the 30-day limit for AppleCare+ - the one with accidental damage protection. You can only buy that for iPhone within the first 30 days.
^^^+1 That's right AC+ for the iPhone 4S/4 has the 30-day limit, thanks for posting that Blevins321...
I get AC only for those devices which stay a bit longer with me like iMac, MBP or MBA. With the quick release cycles of iPad and iPod I don't see the need for AC. If it really would break after regular warrenty I would count it as bad luck.
Until now I ride good with that; I used AC for MBP and it was helpful

If you purchased with a credit card, you may already have an additional warranty period. My card offers doubles the warranty period of purchased items.
I wish I had bought a squaretrade warranty - I'm more worried about it getting dropped/broken than anything else.
