I went with the Apple Upgrade Program so I had no choice, but I do like the peace of mind knowing if I drop and crack my phone it's only another $29 to replace the display, and if it gets completely destroyed it's only $99 to replace. What about the rest of you?
Got a tip for us?

Going to when I get it in, always wait until after I get it so I have a reason to go to the Apple Store....wife still hasn't caught on
i have been thinking about it. I have the verizon insurance b/c of the theft and loss protection, but applecare would be easier if i crack the screen ($29 vs $200 with verizon).
Cracking the screen is the big one b/c if it is water damage the cost of the apple care + with the cost of the 99$ deductible would be the same amount as the verizon copay. and i wont' get rid of the verizon insurance due to the loss and theft aspect - i am a teacher and things have been known to "walk away" in the past.
on the fence, but leaning towards apple care just b/c of the added protection if i cracked my screen. i have 60 days from when i get it to decide for sure.

No AppleCare here. AMEX provides me with a year of additional warranty coverage for manufacturer's defects, and I have yet to ever damage an iPhone. Even if I did manage to break a screen, it's only $129 to replace at Apple, which is the same as AppleCare + with the $29 deductible. So you only come out ahead once you've cracked your screen multiple times (or of course if you sustain other damage- I'm not concerned about that).
I understand some people just are harder on their phones, or have kids, etc... where it's a no brainer. Just not necessary in my case.

I never buy Applecare for my phones because I trade my phone out every year.
However, when it comes to Macbook's and iMac's, I ALWAYS buy the Applecare. Great investment.

I wish I could go with the AUP without AppleCare. I thought it was great at first, but usually the worst case scenario for me is I crack my screen, which for one occurrence would still be cheaper out of pocket than Apple Care plus the deductible.
Last year I decided to wing it and not to get applcare+. Dropped the phone and cracked the screen within the first week. Had Apple not given me a courtesy and added applecare plus, id be out $849.
UAG case and tempered glass screen protector is my insurance. But I literally just added AT&T insurance to my plan so that's good for me right now.
Screen was cracked and the chassis was damaged. I had a case and a screen protector but the phone dropped on the edge onto concrete, which collapsed the frame and cracked the glass.
purchased AC+ when I picked up my 7 at my local Apple Store, this morning.
I hate cases, totally ruins my user experience
