I purchased a SquareTrade program back in June of 2012 for my original Kindle Fire. I didn't have the chance to use it until this past December, so I never felt informed enough to write a review for the product. When need to use the protection program arose, the entire transaction was unbelievably easy! My device died on the Sunday before Christmas; I spent less than ten minutes of the phone with SquareTrade, and two days later I received a replacement device...on Christmas Eve! Unfortunately, I only bought the protection plan for my original Kindle Fire, not for the several other devices we own. I was never more sorry than when my son dropped his device and the screen cracked. The device works, but we're stuck with the broken screen. After the wonderful experience with SquareTrade back in December, I decided then and there that I will never again be without a SquareTrade Protection Plan!Consequently, when I received my Kindle Fire 8.9 HDX as a Christmas present, the first thing I did was purchase a protection plan for it.  This plan says it's provided by Canopy, but it's a SquareTrade plan, nonetheless.  When I contacted SquareTrade customer service back in December, the rep told me that the various protection plans, offered here on Amazon, may appear to be sold by different companies, but they are all the same SquareTrade. Just look for their logo.  Delivery of the plan is super easy, via email.  When purchased with the device for which it is to be used, the plan is automatically applied on your account to the device.  But, if you purchase the plan separate from the device--which I did with the plan for my HDX--when you go into the "Manage Your Device" website, you will get a message asking if you would like to apply the plan to the particular device on your account, that matches the plan criteria.  I highly recommend this protection plan. I will never be without it again!!!
