[Q] Has anyone tried the ZAGGSafe Smartphone Warranty?

[okantomi]

I searched but don't see a similar thread. ZAGG is offering a two year smartphone warranty for $99 that covers unlocked phones, also covers water damage with a $59 deductable...I think it will be cheaper than paying monthly insurance premiums. Probably most savings if you will stay with your phone for ~2 years. Something to consider?

I would trust Squaretrade's amazing track-record over this. $125 for 2 years and it covers broken glass, drops, software/mechanical failure, water damage/immersion, etc...

Edit: 10% off @squaretrade with coupon "TENFTEN" = $112 for 2 years
OR
Edit 2: $30 off @squaretrade with coupon "FF30" = $95 for 2 years

Random question, if my gps is really bad on my phone, can I go to sprint and switch it for a refurb even if I don't have TEP? It's about 7 months old.. or am I just pretty much screwed?

At first this looks pretty good, but it says issues caused by "normal use" and the ZAGG Safe coverage explicitly covers unlocked/jailbroken phones...seems like maybe a better deal if you're a crackflasher, like me.

I would think that would be considered a hardware defect and should be covered under your Samsung warranty.

Problem is, I don't see anything about lost/stolen, which is covered in TEP.

While that is true, this warranty for the price, is good enough for those of us that protect our phones and never ever lose em

I called and I guess it does NOT cover lost and stolen, sorta like Apple Care...otherwise seems solid....

I've never lost a phone, just pointing out what may be a deciding factor in coverage for some. It would seem if you don't have a phone to send them, essentially, you won't be covered. I agree, it does look good for damage/defect, but I'd wait for a few hundred consumer reviews before taking the plunge.
