The Terms and Condition link is a bit hidden, but present!Anyway seems they are both covered:"Accidental Damage from Handling Coverage ("ADH Coverage"):if purchased and evidenced on Your sales receipt, ADH Coverage provides additional protection for Your Product against sudden and unforeseen accidental damage; provided such damage was during the course of regular use of the Product by You, and subject to the exclusions listed in the WHAT IS NOT COVERED section except for the following: repairs or damage resulting from dropping the Product, liquid, or in connection with screen breakage are covered under this ADH Coverage benefit."

Yes but limited. If they can tell you intentionally break it then no. Now on the other hand if it's something manufacturing wise then yes it's covered. Their customer service is great.

For the case maybe, for the phone no. It is impossible for any case company to warranty the actual phones, too many variables and unknowns. Having used many Otterbox cases over the years for various phones while I was working in the construction industry, I can attest to their functionality in protecting a phone. They saved my phone from 8-10ft drops, rain and various drops on a weekly basis. I expect it would take a unique drop to harm the phone.

It covers all repair from DROPPING or SPILLING and their first question is "Was this from dropping or spilling?" and if you answer "No" then they won't cover it. I know because my daughters display went out on her Lenovo computer and after Canopy said we would have to use our lenovo warranty since it wasn't a drop or spill, it ended up taking us 4 months for them to finally give in and replace it since they said they couldn't fix it.

Comes with a standard 1 year warranty. It's not a 'drops and spills' warranty, but you can buy one of those extra.

I have had no problems with spills. Just make sure you don't pour it too fast.

I did not buy the Accident Protection Plan. I think it depends on what you are going to do... If you'll be in situations where you could drop or other wise damage the camera then buy the plan.

Yes if you purchased the accident protection plan. I dropped my camera in a hotel parking lot and got ran over and rained on. They refunded the full price I paid for it. No problem. I highly recommend this plan.

I am looking for this info too; did you ever find out? Kind of surprising how everyone raves about it but it doesn't give any specifics about the level of protection.

From their web site:SquareTrade covers all mechanical/electrical failures that happen during normal use. Plans that include accident protection also cover damage from accidents like drop and spills. If a protected item is damaged and we determine it can be repaired, we cover 100% of the cost of parts and labor. Coverage lasts for the term of your plan or until the coverage amount of your plan (generally equal to item purchase price) is used up.

It has protected mine so far. I've also spilled some water and it protected my phone very well.

It will offer protection. It is nice and stable, though the film starts coming off with use.

I have dropped it but usually when I am sitting and the fall is not so dire. However, I find the protective cover to be one of the best I've had. Even if it falls directly on the screen, enough of a buffer is in place from the outer cover to shield it from touching any surface. It has a soft rubber case that is covered entirely by a hard cover case. Based on my own experience I would recommend it.

The warranty only covers damage to the actual product and not the contents within it. For example, should a leak occur, the warranty would only cover the case and not the phone (if the phone is damaged, then that phone's warranty/insurance will cover any damage).I have had this case for a while now and I swim a mile everyday--and absolutely NOTHING has gotten into the case while I'm in the water. Even through abrupt flip turns, nothing is getting into that case. Believe me, I was a little skeptical at first (especially given the price), but taking the chance was well worth it.
