Have you insured your expensive tech? And if not, is it because you think it's expensive or because you know that you are careful?

I've had to sell it for years at my local staples, it sucked.

I rarely do insurance, most require you to jump through a lot of hoops that don't make it worth it and aren't active in the first year of use.

My iPhone is the first thing I've ever insured other than my car (technically you're forced to I guess). Just didn't want to worry about losing it or getting it stolen and having to purchase another

I've never insured or bought an extended warranty. I'm careful with my tech equipment and don't feel it's worth the extra expense.

I'm the same, to be honest, but you just never know when something goes wrong. Rather pay a bit more and not risk having to pay hundreds for a new one ?
Do you pay a monthly or annual insurance premium?

Trust me, really trust me when I say shit happens out of nowhere, but a good case/screen protector is all a person needs.

Leave alone the gadgets I have not even insured myself. Normally the gadgets have warrantees and with the way one sees upgrades most would prefer to go for upgrades rather than cling to their old devices.
