Why You Want a Tablet Protection Plan
Tablets can be expensive. If you like to keep your electronics to the end of their natural life, then choosing a tablet protection plan is often in your best interest.
Why You Want a Tablet Protection Plan
With the right tablet protection plan and some carefully chosen ITSKINS accessories, you can protect your device against damage for as long as you wish to keep it.
Determining the Worth of a Tablet Protection Plan
Of course, the worth of any tablet protection plan you choose will depend on three factors.
- The cost of replacing your broken tablet
- The cost of the protection plan itself
- How likely you are to damage your tablet in a way that is covered by the plan
For example, if you’ve purchased a relatively low-end tablet and the cost of the protection plan will cost more than the tablet itself over 3-5 years, then paying for a tablet protection plan may not be worth it to you.
With that said, tablet protection plans with reasonable coverage are often well worth the cost if you invest in a high-end, name-brand product like Apple or Samsung.
Doing a Cost-Benefit Analysis of Your Tablet Protection Plan
While the general advice is to get a tablet protection plan for a more expensive device, your particular experience may vary. The biggest factor to keep in mind is the tablet protection plan itself.
You can often get these plans through the original manufacturer, the retailer, and even third-party sites. However, all of these plans are not created equally. It will be up to you, as the consumer, to pour over the fine print and fully understand what your tablet protection plan covers as well as what can invalidate your tablet protection plan.
If the plan is too restrictive or only covers a narrow set of specific malfunctions, then you’re better off passing on that plan to choose a better one that offers you the coverage you want. As always, calculate the cost of your plan over the time period that you hope to keep your device to ascertain whether the potential cost savings is worth it to you.
The Biggest Hole in Plan Coverage
With a few expensive exceptions, many tablet protection plans do not cover fall damage. Given that this is the most common cause of device breakage and malfunction, that makes for a massive hole in your protection. Fortunately, there is one step you can take to plug up that hole with a single purchase.
Tablet cases and protection that are made with high-quality materials can protect your tablet against fall damage up to 10 feet. With ITSKINS Hexotek impact absorption technology, your tablet will be impervious to the most common form of damage that faces handheld electronic devices.
Of course, for the perfect tablet case, you will want to add another layer of protection for the screen of your tablet. While the screen can usually be replaced without too much cost, it’s still something we would all rather avoid. Fortunately, a folio design can further limit the risk of damage.
Planning for the Future
We all hope that our brand-new devices will stand the test of time without issue, but there’s never any guarantee. For all you know, it could malfunction or break two or three months down the road due to any number of problems.
Tablet protection plans and high-quality tablet cases both provide peace of mind when it comes to protecting your investment. While there are certain situations where a protection plan may not be the best choice for you, it is always best to check the numbers just in case.
