SquareTrade warranty on my MBP charger.

When I put the price, $80, it says that it would be 15 dollars for a 3 year warranty. So I thought wow that's a good deal if I can unlimited replacement each time it breaks, for 3 years. But there's this too:

Add protection from Drops, Spills and other Accidental Damage for just $8.00.
Expand your already great normal-use protection with Accidental Damage from Handling (ADH). It covers you from spilt liquids, dropped items and most other accidental damage. Learn More

I wasn't sure if that's necessary or not.

How many times have you broken your MBP Charger? Seems like spending 15-23 to protect an $80 item is excessive... You are looking at spending 20-30% of the value in insurance.

Quite frequently. Actually two times. But within a pretty short period of time. I'm pretty sure I'll break it at least once or twice in the 3 years to come.

Has anyone bought warranty for their charger here?

Doesn't AppleCare cover the charger too?

I'm guessing AppleCare doesn't cover any kind of accidental damage, which is the reason why you need some sort of warranty in the first place. So I don't see the point of AppleCare.
