Insurance plans on iPhone?

[jinyoungkim7]

I was just wondering, do you guys either use the Apple Care plan or the $12/month Asurion plan? I understand that the Asurion covers accidental damage, lost/stolen but it seems like a lot extra to pay on top of my monthly bill.

Which plan do you guys use if you use either one of them?

I went with GoCare. 85$ for two years.

Has anyone else had experience with GoCare? Is it reliable? How do I know?

I have to say that GoCare looks pretty good when stacked up to the rest. I've never damaged any of my phones (knock on wood) but when and if I do (knock on wood) I will deffiently invest in there plan.

How is this gocare?
I know the one from AT&T is a ripoff.

I haven't had to use it yet, but they have great reviews from what I can tell.

apple care is extended warranty, not insurance.

my problem with applecare:
The first year is covered by regular warranty.

If something happens to my phone after that first year, it's _probably_ not covered by extended warranty anyways (production defects and the likes won't wait 1 year to show up, imo) but be accidental damage, water damage, theft, etc. and if that happens, i'd just try to find a way to upgrade to the, by then released, next gen iPhone.

Worth Ave Group is what I use.
Unlike most of the insurance plans which only allow for mail-in, in-house repairs. With WAG, if you drop your phone, water, etc. just take it to the Apple Store, pay $199 replacement fee, get a new (refurb) phone and WAG sends you a check a week later.
