If you’re a klutz, a butterfinger, a clumsy oaf, or a fumbler you might have dropped your phone multiple times. There is good news coming for those who are not graced with coordination and own a Samsung Galaxy handset. Starting next month, which I should remind you is the beginning of 2025, Galaxy device owners who purchase a certain tier of the Samsung Care+ extended warranty, will be able to get a screen replacement for free.
Samsung Care+ offers extended warranty coverage on Galaxy smartphones, tablets, and watches. Damage your device and you could be covered for a replacement or a repair. With some plans, theft of your device is covered which is less a result of having butterfingers and is more the result of having just plain bad luck. Right now, drop your device and crack the screen and with Samsung Care+ you’ll pay $29 and up for a screen replacement which is still cheaper than paying for a replacement without Samsung Care+.
“Effective January 15, 2025, Samsung and Samsung Care+ with Theft and Loss will be introducing ZERO DOLLAR SCREEN REPAIRS. This coverage will apply to damages that impact the front screen and back glass only. In addition to Mail-In Repair and Walk-In Repair options, Care+ customers will continue to have the option of screen repair at their location of choice. Care+ customers with eligible plans* will automatically be eligible for this coverage after January 15, 2025.”-Email sent to Galaxy Care+ subscribers

The screen on your phone might be cracked badly, but your screen replacement will be free. Just make sure that you have the “Care+ with Theft and Loss” plan and if you do, don’t crack the display until after the New Year begins!
The cost of Samsung Care+ varies depending on the device receiving the coverage.
