I haven't had to use it yet, but it's like auto insurance for your Apple products. I have had to contact apple support for various things and they are great. They are US based so you don't have to deal the usual foreign based issues. I hope I never have to use it but I'll probably be glad I have it.

I want my tablet, phone, whatever electronic it is, always completely protected! Protective Cases, screen protectors, and of course the insurance.. you'd be crazy to pass up the insurance, especially if the device cost a lot!
