Monthly Drops, Spills and Defects (Accidental) Protection

I'll say this: when compared to having no mobile insurance or a carrier's insurance plan, this is clearly the better deal. When compared to Applecare+, it severely lacks. Applecare+ is only ~$8/mo with a $30 deductible. I currently have the S8, so clearly Applecare+ doesn't apply to me, but it would be nice if the insurance plans were comparable. A $150 deductible isn't great, but it sure is better than the standard $300+ repair. Bestbuy does have Samsung repair centers with repairs being $60 for cracked screens, but they aren't located in every major city and I'm not sure if the price is a standard rate. I would still recommend this plan over other plans (with the exception of Applecare+ of course) because of the better deductible, cheap premium, and potential reward points if paid with a Bestbuy credit card.

I would of given a 5 star rating but every time theres a issue they push for the replacement cost, with that being said they are way cheaper than my wireless carrier. I had to use it one time because my phone was damaged by a wireless carrier update and it was about 2 months after I bought it and I had to pay the deductible to replace phone. It was very easy and quick. Tried to use it again when my screen cracked again they wouldn't fix screen insisted I had replace the whole phone but I found a Samsung Repair shop that replaced the screen for 1/5 the price of deductible.

Had a problem with my phone and it was one that was on payment plan with Verizon. The folks in Gainesville, GA were trying very hard to help - they even called their corporate office and got a SOP to deal with it. The SOP was incomplete. He finally talked to someone else and got it done! I'm very happy with the outcome even if it took awhile. Sarge did not give up!!! I got a new phone and the associate in mobile did a great job with getting my stuff onto my new phone. The old phone didn't want to cooperate, it would stay up for about 10 seconds at t time, even in safe mode. Kevin got what I needed on the new phone and all is well.

I usually don't get equipment protection with a new phone, but I got it for my new Samsung Galaxy S7 from Best Buy. What a stroke of luck! I am the guy that takes extreme care of his 'stuff.' After only 6 weeks, I found that I'd somehow broken the cover for the camera on my new S7! Of course, it compromised the camera's usefulness, and it also voided the water tight feature of the phone. The service plan cost me a $150 fee, but that is so much less than a new phone without a carrier service plan. Thanks, Best Buy

I got this much needed protection for the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge I got for my wife. She's always dropping her phone or getting it wet. I think the higher theft/loss protection plan should be a little cheaper. This protection is great for accidentals at a low price, but it would always be nice to have the theft/loss protection. This is also cheaper than most of the protection policies offered by phone carriers.
