Benefits of Geek Squad Basic Protection for your cell phone.

We'll cover any of the accessories that came in the cell phone’s original box, including chargers, earbuds and more.

Get a one-time replacement for your original non-disposable battery if it fails to hold a charge.

If your screen has bad pixels or a shadow image, we'll correct it.

If you have at least three pixels that are always the same color or a ghost image that won't go away, we'll get your screen looking like new.

If there's a failure from normal wear and tear, we'll repair it.

This could be a problem with an internal part or speaker, or how the cell phone was manufactured. It could also be caused by dust, internal heat or humidity.

We'll help ensure that your cell phone can be traded in.

How does Geek Squad Protection work with your manufacturer warranty?

During the original manufacturer's warranty period, most repairs will be handled by the manufacturer. Keep in mind that Geek Squad Protection often covers important repairs that your manufacturer warranty doesn't, like failure due to a power surge.

If something goes wrong after the original manufacturer warranty ends, Geek Squad Protection has your back and will take care of any covered repairs.
