The boy just got a new ipad mini.

This is the same kid that has successfully drowned two uninsured ipads...at this point I figure insurance will be a good investment.[bang] [bang]

Looking for recommendations on insurance companies based on both value, and actually paying claims without the typical BS. I realize Apple is an option, but I don't really want to pay for the support that's included in their plan.

Two cheap options:
One gallon zip lock?
No more ipad?

I wish those were viable options.

Have anything less sarcastic to offer?

Since the Frog Skin appears to be a deluxe condom, maybe you could use it in conjunction with the Otterbox?

Lisa also just suggested  sealing it in a foodsaver/seal-a-meal type vac bag.  You could prolly use that in conjunction with the Otterbox as well...

Don't see a frogskin available for the mini.

The otterbox screen protector already darkens the screen. I'd be afraid that the foodsaver plastic, which is kind of opaque, would reduce it even more and make the screen tough to see.

Good ideas though.

I'd go with Apple care, the other things they can do as well as replace a product are worth it.

I'm working a new contract right now and have a few kids with them. Let me see Mon if they have anything different from the one you have DP or the ones listed.  Protective covers that is.

I've used Square Trade for iPod insurance. Fairly reasonable. The mini looks to be $99.00 for 2 years.

Have you ever made a claim?

Disregard my previous post. Apparently Lifeproof cases for the mini are not available. Try this one:

I don't think Applecare covers accidental damage. I believe it only covers device failure past the standard warranty period.

If you buy from Best Buy store, the protection they sell covers pretty much anything, drop, water damage, device failure, etc.
