If there is any reason you can’t buy the iPad from John Lewis to take advantage of their two year warranty then yes it’s worth it.

I can get 15% off one in a friends workplace.

If you are super clumsy, and can't have it as a separate item on your home policy then maybe. £69 for a non-pro model and then if you claim for an accident its £39 for a maximum of two claims then you lose the cover for accidental damage.

IMO waste of money, I've never broken a tablet screen as they have proper covers and cases, and am not a clumsy oaf.

Its not just about accidental issues though. Some hardware issues do arise and its normally after 12 months. £39 is not much over a year

It's £69, £39 is the cost if you need to claim.

Also as I said check what your home insurance policy offer, mine covers 3x iPads, 4x phones, 3x laptops, 2x action cameras and a few other devices for less than £30 per year including accidental cover, and the I pay about £9 extra on top of that for advance replacement on one iPad and a laptop if I have to use it rather than waiting for a repair.

Ok, thanks..
