Are you getting insurance for your S8?

It's rather foolish not to purchase insurance for such an expensive device.

Each individual is different. I never paid of insurance and have never lost or broken a phone.

I have American Express and above all a case and tempered glass. A phone will not break with proper protection.

Hold my beer...

I will have to check my Navy Federal CC. Last time I looked they required you to pay for the entire MSRP of the phone upfront, it specifically stated it does not cover payment plans or phones on contract.

I've been extremely lucky with my devices. I have never taken out insurance on my Android devices and they have been fine so far. I'm usually very careful with them and i always purchase a nice case to keep them protected. I don't normally take my phone with me to potentially high risk places. (EG falling down a mountain while hiking, or possibly falling off a boat into the sea.) ect. I think if you get a nice solid case for your Galaxy S8 you should be good to go.

It's a matter of risk and chance. If you never filled a claim for many years on multiple lines then statistically it would make sense not to get insurance. Just so long as you have enough savings to pay up front for the phone.

I will be using Verizon asurion insurance. It covers the active device on my line

I have used asurion, but will stop and move to Square Trade. The 200 dollar deductible is just too high.

St is fine if you don't need loss or theft protection.

I don't get insurance for my phones.

Same here and won't this time either.

But of course.

This is the reason why so many have been ripped off by taking advantage of Blacklisting their phone after selling it. Majority of people I know are not even aware of this system and how easy it is.

I'm aware it doesn't stop it but why can't they make them FILE A POLICE REPORT at least it will make some think twice about it. I'm talking about the Blacklist System, I know insurance could care less about it.

If you report a theft then you can require a police report... But for lost?

Square Trade will be seeing me soon. I like their low deductible and so easy to get repairs when needed. I've used them for other electronics with no problems. I don't normally buy one for my phones and I usually never have issues...which is why I've decided to purchase one this year. I just figure my number is coming up. I've dropped my s7 edge too many times to count and no damage. Really, how much longer can my good luck hold out?

You can't file a police report for a lost phone.
