Looking at the LG G4 for my mother, mainly for the Camera quality as the most important feature. She is a bit clumsy so insurance is an absolute must. A cheap TPU case and tempered glass screen protector isn't going it be enough I'm afraid (although that will still be first line of defense).
Optus have $14 per month if I buy it on contract from them ($45 per month + $14 Insurance = $59/mth, 24 months = TCO $1416)
Just wondering if there other options, perhaps there is a standalone insurance for outright purchase? Credit Card Insurances that last at least 24 months? Or Home Insurances that have this extra?
Or another carrier is better value?
Also willing to consider other phones (including iPhone, but generally prefer not to) if it works out cheaper with at least as good Camera, or there is a practically unbreakable case available, or screen repairs are reasonably cheap.
Phone insurance isn't worth it imo.
You're pay $336(24 months) for it and I assume there's an excess. Also the phone will cheaper if she does break it several months from now.
Then get something like an otterbox or the galaxy S6 Active + otterbox
