Wish I had gotten this for my iPod Classic, it messed up about 3 months after the warranty expired. Get it if you want protection.Pros: Insures your iPod Classic or Touch in most casesCons: Won't cover all water damage Kind of expensiveOverall: A good thing to have. Just in case.
Now I travel around the Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, and Texas coast areas for work and I reach some humid areas but I've never had another electronic device utterly fail just from humidity. I purchased the one year warranty for my iPod touch 1st generation, and after about 6 months it would no longer connect or charge unless held to the cable with rubber bands. So I send off my ipod to apple and they tell me that they won't repair it under warranty because of water damage, and they had the guts to tell me that they could repair it for $229. The ipod never touched water except what was in the air. DO NOT BUY.
The reason for the 4 stars and not 5 was because of the installation problem. The price was $10.00 cheaper than Apple store. Delivery was prompt. I had to contact Apple tech support to fix the problem with registration. It was a problem with registering from North Carolina according to tech support.
Two things to note. I bought four warranties from Apple for the two Nano 4G's and two Touch 2G's that I bought from Amazon. If so, forget trying to register the warranty online.
According to Apple, they base the warranty date on when Apple sold it to Amazon as the purchase date. This is because Apple has a different warranty service for North Carolina residents. Yes, you get two years but not if you bought the iPod from Amazon.
It won't let you. So if Amazon got it on Dec 14, 2008 and you did not buy it until February 14, 2009, your two years began on Dec 14 but you would be good until Dec 14, 2010 when purchasing the APP.Another thing. Do you live in North Carolina.
You must call 1-800-APL-CARE and perform a voice registration. Though I only lost a few days warranty on three of them due to high Christmas demand, I did lose 4 weeks on my 16GB Touch because it was sitting on the shelf at Amazon.
As good as mac's are, quirks and glitches and problems do arise. Apple Customer service is invaluable when needed even for simple or "stupid" questions. Reasonable price. Techs are readily available, friendly, patient, knowing, and thorough. They seem to really want to help. Very nice to have the ongoing access for tech support available until the next generation comes out. Go for it.
