So my Samsung care+ is over as I've just swapped for the 2nd time. Any tips on single device insurance? I've used the RACV product before but it's no longer available. incidentally, I'm on a $30pm pre-paid recharge. Also, Samsung upgraded me from an s20 plus to an ultra on the first swap. Oh and I can almost guarantee ill break my phone once a year so I'm not keen to add it to my home and contents due to increased premiums.
Insurance on an S20 Ultra

Good idea mate! I think I'll also cancel my car insurance and just be more careful.
My phone is always in a case and has a screen protector so there isn't much more I can do.
You probably need a bigger/stronger case.
Yeah, I've gone as big as I can find. Unfortunately, the last drop was face down on a stone. Not many cases can protect against that.
Username checks out.
Tempered glass screen protector protects against it though. I've done it myself. Replacing a screen protector is much cheaper than a screen.
Get a cheapo phone and really durable case with a lanyard…
Check whether your credit card has phone insurance. I'm currently using Citibank Premier and by paying my monthly Telstra bill using the card, my phone is covered.
For example: https://www1.citibank.com.au/help-and-support/complimentary-…
Great tip, thanks for that. I'll have a hunt for options.
Note that the phone would only be covered if you have postpaid not prepaid
My husband is the biggest klutz, drove over his new iPhone with a forklift, cracked the screen on his new s8+ twice. I got him the otterbox defender or something (all around case) and his phone is shatter free 3 years later, was about $70 but way cheaper than paying for a new screen all the time
otterbox and I think Lifeproof used to be the go. I like the fact your ozb name is bang on. As some suggested maybe get a cheaper phone even? Or find a CC insurance dealie, I use amex for mine but that is only screen and if it's less than 3 years.
Maybe be more careful with your phone or at least one thats more durable?
Not really the right attitude that'll garner much sympathy on here tbh
I personally wouldn't want to be subsidising someone that would go about saying that it's almost guaranteed they'll crash their car once a year.
