Just wondering if people are seeing a repaired replacement sent or a brand new unit. And if a repaired replacement, are you losing the waterproof support?
On a side note, I do have a repair center in striking distance - it's obviously cheaper but for sure means it just gets repaired on the spot and maybe losing that waterproofing standard?
Thanks!
If you go through the Google protection plan, most likely you will get a refurbished unit.....not new. They would give you a new one if they were out of refurbs but that's unlikely. Refurbs are not necessarily a bad thing but you could end up with a device with issues. You can have it swapped out until you get a good one.
