Zagg has launched a new "phone protection plan" that costs less than competing options from Apple and Samsung. The new "Zagg Protect" runs $99 annually, plus a $49 deductible for repairs. Zagg has traditionally focused on making phone accessories such as cases and chargers. For this product, Zagg has partnered with Safeware, which specializes in technology insurance. The plan covers most hardware failures as well as accidental damage from drops or liquids. Accidental damage claims are limited to two every 12 months, and battery replacement is limited to one per device. Apple currently charges $149–199 for AppleCare+ for a new iPhone, plus a $29 fee for display or glass damage, or $99 fee for other repairs.
