To my surprise I haven't seen this being discussed anywhere, what are the screen replacement costs for the Note 8, and is there an accidental coverage like for the iPhone?
I'd go 3rd party if I were you. Samsung's plan as well as the carrier plans are much higher. You can purchase Squaretrade 2 year coverage for $129 with a $99 deductible. It doesn't cover theft or loss though, which is fine by me.
