So unless you are a klutz and have a problem hanging onto your iPhone, it might not pencil out for you. The other problem is that you have to buy your iPhone 3G S at Best Buy in order to qualify for the service.&nbsp;But there aren't many options out there for insurance, at least that I have found. You may be able to get some coverage via our renters or homeowners insurance, so I think I would check that out before I spent any money on this plan.&nbsp;</p>

Buy it using an American Express card; it has some kind of "purchase protection", not exactly sure about the terms because they depend by the type of card; furthermore you do not have to deal with BestBuy and, even worse, the Geek Squad......
