Google’s Project Fi service, and invites, have been steadily rolling out to people all over the US. Those that didn’t have a Nexus 6 at the time obviously needed to buy one during the setup as it is the only device that is supported for the time being. Unlike traditional carriers that offer you a monthly plan for insurance to cover your device in case of lost, theft, damage or the likes, you are left on your own. There are some good options out there to protect your device if you want to have that small feeling of security. If you aren’t out to spend a lot on a third-party insurance provider to cover damages then you are in luck as Google will replace your device for you once during the 1st year for $100 if you happen to have butter fingers and cause irreprehensible damage.
The policy is a simple no questions asked policy. Meaning you can literally get a shiny new Nexus 6 no matter what happened or the story you try to create for it. You do have to make sure you make your claim within the first 12 months of ownership though. Yes, that means if you hit month 12 and you just want to replace it because it is a little worn with some dings and dents, but otherwise still works fine, you most certainly can do so.
It is a nice little safety net for those looking to cut costs with Project Fi who might have a slight bit of misfortune in their lives with their device down the road.
