For just Pennies a day....Excellent 3yr. Support !
Excellent add-on to your Apple CPU purchase.

The AppleCare Protection Plan is a uniquely integrated service and support solution that extends the complimentary coverage on your Mac to three years from the computer's purchase date. This comprehensive plan includes expert telephone assistance, onsite repairs for desktop computers, global repair coverage for portable computers, web-based support resources, and powerful diagnostic tools - all for one economical price.

Purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan when you purchase your Apple system to take maximum advantage of the coverage the plan provides. If you don't do it now, then you will want to buy it before your 1yr warranty expires - otherwise it's too late to do so.

Three years of security
Every Mac comes with 90 days of telephone support and one year of service coverage at an Apple-authorized repair center. By purchasing the AppleCare Protection Plan with your Mac, you can extend your coverage to three years from the computer's purchase date.

Comprehensive coverage
The AppleCare Protection Plan covers your Mac, as well as an AirPort Card or AirPort Extreme Card, an AirPort Extreme Base Station, and Apple RAM used with your Mac. Power Mac and PowerBook customers may also enroll one Apple display for coverage, provided that the Mac and the display are purchased together.

One number to call for help
Get direct telephone access to Apple's own technical support group, the people who know your system best. Because Apple creates the computer, the operating system, and many built-in applications, the Mac is a truly integrated system. Just one phone call can help resolve most issues with your Mac because AppleCare representatives can help troubleshoot Apple hardware, the Mac operating system, and many Apple consumer applications, including iCal, iSync, iDVD, iMovie, iPhoto, iTunes, AppleWorks, and QuickTime.

Convenient repair options
The AppleCare Protection Plan ensures that Apple-certified technicians will perform repairs using genuine Apple parts. With this plan, parts and labor will be covered for three years from the date of purchase of your Apple computer, two years beyond the one-year limited warranty. The plan includes onsite service for desktop computers and global repair coverage for portables, which can be very important if you travel abroad.

For just pennies a day - it's great insurance! ... Read more

Very unimpressed
As far as getting 2 extra years of warranty and support goes, I suppose this isn't a bad package. But I felt let down by the telephone support side. I'm told that there are call centres in three countries and the one you get depends on the time you phone. I think I'll phone at a different time next time!
My iMac is only three months old but unfortunately I've had to contact AppleCare already after my Superdrive started doing something odd.
I listened to distorted music for thirty minutes before a human finally spoke to me. Sadly, their English was so poor I could barely understand a thing they said and we had to repeat ourselves over and over. After making me do things I'd already done to try to resolve the problem (obvious things), they very quickly admitted defeat and said I'd have to take my iMac to the local Apple service centre. Once there, the cure was pathetically simple and should have been diagnosed by Apple Care. If it had been, I wouldn't have had to take my machine to the repair centre.
Apple describes Apple Care as a "world class" telephone help service. I'd say it's one of the worst I've ever used in my life.
Still, it's probably worthwhile for the extra two years' warranty. Just pray you never need to call on them!

Cost of Repairs
Apple just replaced the CRT (display) on my eMac under warranty. The cost without warranty would have been 486.56 dollars. This is over 50 percent of the cost of the computer! That would have been great except the CRT is still not working properly.... If you must own an Apple, you want this warranty. It is 50 dollars just to talk to AppleCare after 90 days. Me, I am going back to my Dell. ... Read more

Hanging by a thread.
After 6 months of use I"ve managed to sever the tiny wire from Apple's cute little adapter with its "stowaway" prongs (believe me, no heroic effort required). So now I'm down to less than 2 hours of battery power and 6-8 hours of word-processing before tomorrow's class. Okay, it was my fault, and I"ve got enough juice left to order a new one from Amazon. No big deal. But what's this? I was expecting to spend ten-fifteen bucks! At least there are cheaper, more rugged alternatives. In this case, substance beats out style.

(The solution proved to be the SmartDisk adapter for the Powerbook Titanium. It's less compact but no less "stylish" than Apple's "portable" adapter and far more effective--no sparks from the prongs, for one thing. And it even costs less--a comparative bargain.)

Warning - DO NOT BUY THIS ADAPTER
You'll hear all kinds of warnings and threats from Apple and Apple fans about buying third party adapters, but oddly enough the Apple Store sells third party adapters . . . and my Mac repair shop uses a third party adapter on their machines that costs about 40 bucks. Apple's own adapter, however, WILL break. The cord is just too cute (i.e. fragile), and if you do anything like what you're suppossed to do with a laptop (that is, if you sit with the laptop in your lap), forget it! Prepare to hand over another 100 bucks in a couple of months. I just got the iGo Juice (which Apple sells on their site) and it works fine. Further, it's actually sturdy. No, I'm not an iGo company shill. I just don't see the point of buying mediocrity because it's cute and has the little bitten apple on it.

Nice power adapter.
There's no real reason to have a nice-looking power adapter, but it's more useful to have one that works. In the month that I have used the Apple iBook, I've run into no trouble with the power adapter.

As sidey writes, the cable is rather short, but with the recent power adapters, there is inclduded an extension cord, allowing for a decent amount of reach. The plug itself when with the extension cord is a three-pronged connector, but without the extension is simply a foldable box that protrudes two inches. This is annoying, especially when plugging the power cord behind a bed or some place that there is very little room.

However, with the extension cable, everything is made better. I just don't know why Apple didn't have the power adapter always attached to the extension cord, because it makes more sense, though is less "compact." The normal power connector and the extension cable are easily interchangable, though it took me some time to figure out exactly where to pull off for fear of ruining the power adapter.

It is definitely nice.

Nice try, but really poor design
While the Apple power adapter looks interesting, it has some significant flaws.
1) The plug is attached directly to the adapter. This means that you have a large box sticking out of the wall and occupying real estate. IBM and Dell are both better in this respect: they have a cable that runs from the laptop to the adapter, and another that runs from the adapter to the wall. MUCH more usable.
2) The cable is WAY too short. I am constantly annoyed at the short reach of the cable. Granted, the Powerbook has an astonishing battery life, but that doesn't change the fact that adding 2-3 feet to the cable would make it a lot less frustrating and restrictive to use.
3) THEY BURN OUT FREQUENTLY. By that I mean that the cable heats up and burns through the protective sheathing. Fortunately I purchased the AppleCare plan and can get it replaced, but what a hassle.

The rest of my experience with the PowerBook has been fabulous. I love the machine, and am SO glad I switched in December. But for a company known for its design skills, I am utterly disappointed by this power cord. ... Read more

Highly recommend
If you have a mac/apple, you must buy this protection plan or the first time something wrong happens, YOU will need to pay for it. While the problems in macs are lesser than PCs, there is the occassional problem. I highly recommend being insured with this plan. Over the past year, I have used it twice, and it's $50 a call without it so it's really worth the money! ... Read more

Sleek, but not practical nor cheap
I think the Apple case is great if you want only a sleek genuine Apple case to hide your precious Ipod. On the other hand, The case itself is very impractical and doesn't really secure or protect anything. I have a 4th generation 40gb Ipod and I find it annoying to have to pull it out of the case to manipulate the click wheel everytime. There are better cases out there for far less money and better access to your precious cargo.

be careful!
DON'T keep your baby in this carrier. It's like driving with your child in the front seat, airbag on and no seatbelt through heavy traffic. You are an accident waiting to happen. The Belkin wallet holder has much more padding but no belt holder. I haven't found the perfect holder yet but I'm still on the lookout. The ipod needs to be firmly secured with padding all around the edges, attatched to your body at all times, yet you have to be able to easily access the front of it. Get that perfect case on the market people!!

Come on Apple we're paying for something better!
When I recieved my first Ipod 20gb I was really disapointed with the case that came with it. Apart from killing the Ipods good looks I dropped it twice in the first two days because of the rather weak clip. Not only was I dissapointed with the above mentioned, but I couldn't believe that Apple made a case with no protection on the corners for a product that beggs care and attention. I don't know what the statistics are but there is a good chance that if the Ipod takes a fall it will hit the corner at some point in the disaster!
When I recieved my new 40gb Ipod with the dock I couldn't believe that Apple were still sending this case out with a product of this class. Surely someone has made this complaint to the company during the last few years! I gave it a two only because the material it is made of is reasonable quality and it functions - if you dont drop it and are extremly careful when using the clip.

Beware of gravity....
This is a great case, unless you turn it upside down. It's a sleeve, and doesn't have a latch or snap at the top. This may not seem like much of a problem, but then I didn't expect to be turning it upside down. Accidentally. Five feet above a tile floor. (Okay, so Apple replaced my iPod after that one. But still, it was unpleasant.)

The belt clip will only take limited abuse (as will any product). Mine broke last weekend while I was carrying too much luggage on vacation. A shoulder bag pushed too hard against the belt clip, and snapped it off.

This product works well, but if your life is at all adventurous, try another product.

Handy
I use my Ipod at work, in the car, and at home, so there it moves around a lot. I like this case for when I am in and out of the car. It clips securely, protects well and is still sleek. This was a must for me when I am on the road. ... Read more
