    If you own the new Galaxy Fold.i would recommend having it.i think it would be expensive to repair if it falls on floor.

    Accidental Geek Squad Protection

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased the 2-year plan when I bought my 512GB Z Fold 4. 6 days later, the inner panel would only light up on one side and the other side would have a few pixels that would blink. They replaced the phone for me, free of charge since it had been less than a week. 10 months later, after dropping the phone a few times, it would no longer open completely, it would stop at about 80% and the inner screen protector was peeling. I was told by geek squad that they could send it to Samsung to try to get it covered under warranty but it could take 3 to 4 weeks and they may deny it, or I could use my geek squad protection and replace it. I replaced it. $200 to get a new (refurbish) $2k phone, yes please.

    The Samsung Note 20 Ultra 5G is a great phone! It looks great and it's fast - I upgraded from the Note 8 - so it took me a while to get used to both the volume controls and the stylus holder being moved to the other side of the phone. But, I do like the finger print reader placed back in the front of the phone. In fact it's under the screen and works very well! The camera shoots phenomenal photos! The screen looks good, too! Although, I would much rather have a flat screen and so I don't much care for the curved edges which not only makes the phone difficult to hold on to but distorts the image pin the edges. Get yourself a nice phone case to protect your phone - it will be easier to hold on to and also protect the huge camera bump on the back and the screen!

    My cell phone died I have always purchased my phones from Best Buy One of the biggest reasons is the customer service. All the associates are knowledgeable in many departments. Marc was our salesman what an amazing young man, He went way above and beyond, Marc didn't try to up sale me, He recommended the phone and the two-year protection, which I agreed on for what I needed. The store showed one in inventory. Marc looked in every possible nook and cranny in Best Buy. to locate the phone. He didn't give up until he found it. Who does that nowadays? That's what customer service is all about, and that is why I will always recommend Best Buy. And the reason I will always be a customer. Thanks again, Marc.

    I think you're better off paying it all at once up front (if you can) I did the monthly plan and because it's something that comes out automatically each month in the event you forget or there is an issue with the billing information your warranty may lapse which could be the difference between you getting a replacement phone and you not being able to. Aside from that the warranty itself is outstanding. Just about any and everything imaginable is covered and with the cost of a new phone these days for under $10/mo you'll be very happy if anything happens to your device throughout the 20/months or however long you purchase it for.

    Geek Squad GSP is great for worry free protection

    I purchase this to protect my investment on my new phone. If your phone provider doesn't offer replacement insurance or their cost is high then you can get the GSP protection for your phone. Competitive price and good service. I have use this service on other devices as well and it has been a good insurance on a variety of products from different manufactures. You never know if you will get a lemon and its great that I can use my expensive device and not worry about it breaking before I paid the thing off or it breaks out of manufacture warranty.

    I love the geek squad. I had my phone insured through Verizon and when something went wrong I had to send the phone back to Verizon. The geek squad is right there. They're smart, efficient and quick. I've used them to unlock a computer my dad gave me. Always wonderful service!

    The associate(Willy) that helped me with getting an appointment to have antivirus added to my laptop and also installed Home Office that I purchased with the laptop. Willy took care of every right away and didn't have to wait or leave my new laptop overnight. Willy was friendly, very knowledgeable and also smelled very good...lol I went back the next day to drop off my tablet to get alittle TLC and he was awesome at assisting with moving storage from my tablet to the SD card to provide more room for updates. I am so happy to have the Geek Squad on my side.

    So, thankfully, I got the GSP- Complete protection for my phone cause he came in handy. I didn't get the chance to get the protection, when I got my phone but got it I think a week later. I got it on a Friday, I happen to have cracked & shattered the back of my phone on the following Monday. I did order a phone case, but per usual, it came in the mail, the next day. Go figure. It would've helped more to get it before I cracked my phone, but atleast, I have the GSP to help me out.

    I've bought Geek Squad warranties before and never had an issue. This is the first phone I've purchased where I added the warranty. It's less than the Verizon price and the Geek Squad has helpful employees and it's right in town. We compared costs and benefits and worked out well. I feel confident in the warranty and what it will deliver on if needed. I think the prices are very reasonable.

    Geek Squad protection on my phone gives me peace of mind with quick replacement if something goes wrong. It's cheaper than phone insurance through my carrier. The best part is it's not a third party that you have to deal with you deal directly with Best Buy versus a third party and your phone carrier. If my phone breaks I can go to Best Buy and get one that day, just amazing!

    My wife breaks a lot of phones. We opt to buy this insurance over Verizons for 2 main reasons. 1. Its cheaper 2. Ease of making a claim. I can just go into the store. Trust me we have used this insurance a lot and if you are one to break your phone its totally worth it. I also suggeat paying for the 2 years up front instead of monthly payments if youncan afford it. You gwt a diacount that way

    Buying a big ticket item like a phone that folds in half breaks within 2 weeks (apparently when you touch a touch-screen too much and it breaks, its considered physical damage and is not covered under warranty) , co$t$ too much, and isn't ready for real world use? You need this! You need it for 3 folding phones that have ALL failed! Best investment ever!

    Why change a good thing if its not broken

    I prefer to purchase my cell phones from best buy and I always purchases their protection plan. As I find it easier to deal with best buy then with a cell phone company or another department store. Plus with my children away to college. It was beneficial for us in the past from broken screens to other issues. So why switch when you have had such great experiences and such good service.

    I have had Geek Squad for all my devices. I had insurance on my cell through Verizon, never again. Terrible Service with unfriendly help. Geed Squad has never been Unsociable and has always been friendly, quick in repair and are local. The cost is comparable to other insurance and easy with my Best Buy Credit card.

    I added a Geek Squad plan to the purchase of my Galaxy Z Fold 4 smartphone. I am not expecting problems - knock on wood - but new, paradigm shifting technologies can have unforeseen issues. Geek Squad plans are not new for me and I rarely have to use them. But it feels good to be safe.
