Who Needs Smartphone Protection?


Smartphones connect us to the people and information that matter most. Many people find themselves returning home to grab a forgotten phone rather than a wallet. This highlights the integral role smartphones play in daily life. When a phone screen cracks, the device is dropped in water, or it suddenly stops working, users need a quick and affordable way to get reconnected.


With many smartphones costing around $1,000 and screen repairs averaging $300, the financial impact of damage or loss can be significant. Smartphone protection coverage helps policyholders avoid these unexpected expenses and regain access to their devices quickly.


People who should consider smartphone protection include:


  • Frequent travelers who rely on their phones for navigation and communication

  • Parents with teenagers who may be more prone to accidental damage

  • Professionals who use their phones for work and cannot afford downtime

  • Anyone with a high-value smartphone seeking to avoid costly repairs or replacement


Protection coverage offers peace of mind by covering common risks such as screen cracks, liquid damage, mechanical failures, and even loss or theft.

This coverage saved him hundreds of dollars and the hassle of dealing with insurance claims or credit card protections.
