  Unfortunately, I learned the hard way, that this company does everything and anything to avoid, delay and or deny your ******** claim was filed on 09/19/24, it was approved, after nearly one month of back and forth emails, phone calls and deliberate delays. Approval for reimbursement was on 10/07/24, as of today, 11/15/24, still no ACH posting or email informing that posting has and will occur.If you are considering purchasing this product with its warranty, be ready for delay after delay and absolutely a waste of time.I expect my reimbursement immediately, enough of the deception, lies and excuses!Regards,***** Plymouth, ********

  In July 2024 I purchased 5 screen protectors for $25 each. I was not aware that in order to activate the warranty you needed to set up a special account on each individual device. I have three minor children and did not want them to download the app and make accounts on their own. I emailed them multiple times attempting to seek guidance on this issue and was never responded to. When my daughters screen cracked in August 2024and we needed to use the warranty, I was told that it was not valid because we had not registered the device. Despite me telling them multiple times that I couldnt register the device because she was a minor and had requested their assistance many times before without a response they still held firm to not allowing use to use the warranty. The protectors dont work much better than generic products. I have completely wasted my money on all of these protectors and have been scammed. The only one that can be used is mine as Im an adult and registered the product.

  I purchased the liquid glass wipe in 09/2023 when I purchased my iPhone 15. Enrolled in the protection plan within 30 days as instructed by T-Mobile. My protection plan was active from 09/22/2023 to 09/21/2024. My iPhone 3 cracked in 08/2024. I filed my claim on 08/13/2024. My claim was approved and I was told I can go ahead and get my screen fixed and Ill be reimbursed $250. It cost me $279 to fix my screen. I submitted all the documents as instructed in order to receive my reimbursement. I was told that everything on my end was done and I should be reimbursed within 10 business days. Here it is 11/08/2024 and still no reimbursement. Ive contacted customer service several times inquiring about my reimbursement and kept getting the run around. As of today I am still waiting on my $250 reimbursement.

  I purchased a cell phone screen protector from InstaProtek on 6/16/2023. The screen protector was guaranteed for 1 year from the registration date with a reimbursement of $200.00 if the procedures set forth by instaprotek were approved. I have included the original enrollment paperwork. On 6/03/2024, I filled out a complaint for the broken screen protector through the online portal the business provides. After fulfilling the requirements and uploading the necessary documents the business set in place, I was sent an approval email notifying me that my reimbursement was approved. The approval email was sent on 7/10/2024 and I have uploaded that document. I next spoke to the business on on 07/12/2024 via their phone number, ************. I was told the reimbursement was to be direct deposited into my account in 14 business days. Subsequently, I emailed their support team on 7/29/2024 and was told on 7/31/2024 via an email from Ren "I have checked your claim and learned that our reimbursement team is still working with our bank with some system enhancement. I won't be able to provide you with an exact date as to when this will be processed, but I can assure you that you will receive a notification email once it is processed."After that email from Ren, I have contacted the support email on 8/7/24, 8/25/24 and 9/4/24 and have received no responses. I also have also called the business phone number on 8/26/24 and 10/8/24. Each time I call, I am told I will be getting a return call from someone. I have yet to receive a return phone call. On 10/10/2024 it will have been 90 days since my guarantee claim has been approved and I still have yet to be reimbursed for the product they promised and guaranteed. I am hopeful filing a claim with the BBB will help with getting this resolved. Thank you.

  I purchased a Simple Liquid Glass Screen Protection on 11/30/2023. For 3 days I tried to register my product through the app. Multiple times I would get 15 minutes in and almost done when the app would not accept my full entry. I then called in and finished creating my account. My app shows I am fully covered for 1 year until 11/29/2024. I just called on 9/23/2024 to find out I am however NOT covered as my account was not processed until 1/20/2024 which is after the 30 day registration period to make the warranty valid. First off this 30 day period is not blatantly obvious...secondly...I had called in and talked 2 or 3 times to customer support in November / December of 2024. The fact I paid for this service and am being denied because my account was registered in Jan is absurd. Stick to other companies if you can this one has hoops to jump through and is just looking for a quick buck...I was also told there was no supervisor or anyone else I could talk to aside from the operator I got on the phone.

  Hello I purchased a screen protection product and a 1 year guarantee for a $200 repair should the screen break in that timeframe. Purchase date was 12/21/2023. I registered the product and received and email and a confirmation from the company's app that my product was registered and protrcted/warrantied up to a $200 repair for 1 year 12/20/2024. The product identified my device with its unique serial # and I sent condition photos and the proof of purchase to register the device. The email I received and the app on my device as show in the attached photos stated my device was protected and warrantied. I had a failure incident consistent with the policy of repair/$200 limit. I filed the claim 9/14/2024. I received an email response that the device would not be covered because the company cannot locate the before photos that were submitted 10 months ago to acquire the coverage. I have the photo from 12/21/2023 that I took and submitted on the registration date. That they are saying they cannot find. I could not have completed registration and acquired protection without submitting photo.They are stating the warranty that I registered and that they confirmed and that exists with my serial # is void.This is incorrect but they keep repeating the same email instead of covering my product.

  Hello *******,

  I am following up on your BBB complaint. After speaking with our customer support team your product guarantee registration is valid. However, in order to validate your claim, we need a photo of your broken screen along with device imei being displayed to confirm it matches device that was collected in the registration process. This is clearly stated in our program terms and conditions. Once received, we can move forward with your reimbursement. Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.

  I purchased the instaprotek case from ******* when we initially bought the phone and had them install it before the phone was taken out of the store. I registered the product the next day as I was told about the limited time to be able to register. I installed the app and did everything it stated to be able to register. The first claim I did was for my daughters phone but because it was a scratch it was not approved and I understood that. The second claim was for my husbands phone. I submitted the photos needed to prove the screen its self was broken. The screen no longer turned on. We did the claim through Asurion as well.I got an email a few days later stating the claim was denied because a photo was not submitted upon registration of the product. I knew that wasnt right because it was a requirement for being able to register it and would not be able to register it without one. So I sent an email response letting them know that. I got a response later that day stating that the photo did not show evidence that the screen was not broken before. This company is a scam. We spent money on 6 screen protectors and its such a hassle filing the claim for it just to be denied anytime they feel like it. They dont ask for more photos. They havent responded to anymore emails.

  I purchased their screen protector in November 2023 and it had a 1 year warranty. On July 16 this year I dropped my phone and the screen still broke. I was approved for repair July 19 so I went ahead and did my claim on my phone. July 22 I uploaded receipts for reimbursement and was approved for reimbursement on July 30. I have called twice since to make sure they had my correct ach info and they confirmed they did. They said it was because of their bank, but I work at a bank and know that is not the issue. I just want to be reimbursed the $200 I am approved for. Thank you

  Instaprotek had me jump through many hoops in order to get the $200.00 they claim to provide for screen damage. I did so quickly and exactly as they requested. I spoke via email over 10 times with a ******* who assured me I would be paid. They attempted to delay saying they couldn't contact the store who fixed my phone and wanted a three way call. After all the hoops were finally cleared a month has passed and they are refusing to still pay the $200.00 with no explanation.
