I DO think it's Completely Insane for example, to have insurance on the Motion. Why? You can get a brand new, not refurb phone for 2x just one year's insurance coverage. (To me, that's a not often mentioned Benefit of the Motion, you save about $70 a year insurance owning one. Or, you Should Save that anyway...)
OTOH, for a $500+ phone to me it's a Duh, no brainer to carry insurance at least for the first 2 years you own the phone.

If you were to wait a few days after launch, when other retailers finally get it, you could buy it from best buy and get their insurance. It is $10/month buy that covers any kind of damage and you pay no deductible. I have two lines, one is metro(personal), and the other is Sprint(business). I plan on buying my next phone through beat buy. (Galaxy note 2) as for the s3, you shouldn't need to much protection, it's a tough phone though it may not feel like it. A gel case would be more then sufficient
