kid wants a ipad touch for music & vids entertainment stuff
(also to skype talk to cousins)
should get the replace it if you break it insurance for $54...
normally i break electronics in the 1st 30 days or they last a while...
i think this unit might get harsher treatment than i might deal out...

The accidental damage coverage is for accidents. They're sturdy, but
you can't step on them. And someone will.

yep, hear ya...
54 buck spent... figured kid wouldn't be as worried
and enjoy it more if she wasn't all paranoid about it.
got some case to help defray the bounces as well.

The simple answer. YES. I did it for my iPhone and have replaced it once.

In all honestly, Apple stuff is really cheap chinese crap (it really
is). My son has a business that refurbs Apple products, and he is
their worst critic - calls it complete junk. If it is going to see
anything but loving care, good chance it'll break.
