Best buy insurance can be had for $170 and it gets you a replacement with unlimited claims for two years within a few days.

Just to let everyone know.. I was just in Best Buy the other day and they let me know that their insurance has changed. Basically the same as carrier insurance (9.99/mo and covers anything other than lost or stolen with a deductible and max 3 claims). They said it changed on 9/1, and the guy that I was talking to said that he even thinks you're better off with carrier insurance than theirs now.
This is a change from the policy that I have on my wife's iPhone that I got through best buy a year and a half ago.. I paid up front to save a few dollars over the life of the insurance, but it would have been 9.99/mo and it is no deductible and up to 3 claims still not covering lost or stolen. She has a small crack on the face of the phone (not over the screen, down by the home button) and he said we just have to let them know we'd like a replacement and they will order one, takes 3 business days and then we go back to transfer everything to the new one at no cost to us.
It's sad to see them downgrade their insurance that much. It was one of the best out there and now it's almost pointless as their deductible is comparable to carrier's and it doesn't cover it if it's stolen! The Best Buy rep said that he is hoping they will switch it back eventually, but we will have to wait and see.
