Can't tell you if it's worth it unless you tell us how much it's going to cost you...
Poll: ** The Official iPhone X Thread **

I changed from an 8+ to an X and was very happy with the move.
September is not very far away. If it was me I would be looking at the rumoured 3 new releases before doing anything.
Ah it’s a business plan
Currently paying 65 quid a month for 100gb date on a 256gb IPhone 8 Plus, unlimited all and 250 mins to Europe
Same plan but I phone x on yearly upgrade is 73 a month
I keep my iPhone 8 Plus
I believe to repair the back without AppleCare+ it’s about £550!!!! And the screen is only £250. It’s cause with the back, they replace the entire phone.
Jesus I forgot how annoying setting up iPhones are when you can’t access your backup
Shouldn't really have smashed with a case on, that's not encouraging.
I don't use phone cases. I'm sure if I had one on it would've been fine. It wasn't even a big fall, it's fallen from far greater heights. Think it hit the foot of the cross trainer or something
I cannot believe that people still use a phone (which is in effect a powerful computer) without any protection. I use a 'bumper case' the very second my new phone is lifted from its box. I have dropped my phone a number of times (onto concrete) and it simply 'bounces'. I think a phone in a decent case looks just as attractive as one that is 'naked'. If also saves me a shed load of cash as I can get away without spending unnecessary money on accident insurance.
You may have insurance but what a fag having to go through the rigmarole of sorting it out, plus being without the phone for X number of days. I worked out I've saved nearly £3,000 over the years by not having to buy either insurance or pay the Apple Tax, simply by spending a very modest sum of money on cases.
I think the smart money is to encase that baby in a bit of protective love. Pay cash for the phone, SIM only and get a case. I'm happy my bank managers happy.

Same here.
Never had insurance and never have broken a phone - ever.
iPhones are horrid and slippery to hold in your hand naked. Slap a apple leather case on and it’s a joy to hold with a non slippery grip.
I don’t use insurance but I may start. Who’s yours with?

£200 plus excess good lord!
For a £1200 phone I thought it was worth it, plus it’s 2 or 3 years I think.
