This is not meant to be spam or an endorsement. It is provided for information purposes only. I recently purchased two Pocket Edges including one of the Amazon Marketplace $199 specials. I understand that many credit card companies offer additional protection for electronic items, but this is for those who may not have that protection. When I purchased my PE from buy.com I was offered a three year warranty with accidental damage protection for $32.99 from a company called SquareTrade. This morning I purchased another three year warranty with accidental damage protection for $39.99 for the PE I purchased from the Amazon Marketplace (using Tablet PC and $199 as the value). The price for the EE warranty will be slightly higher. SquareTrade warranties can also be purchased on Amazon's website.
Here are some reviews about SquareTrade:

Additional reviews can be found on Amazon's website most of which are either 4 or 5 stars. They have a lifetime feedback on Amazon of 97% Positive from 18,200 customers.

Again, I'm not trying to sell anybody on anything but I feel in these uncertain times it is best to protect your investment. Here's a link for the details in case anyone is interested:

When you get a quote for the $199 PE it will come up as $29.99. You can add the accidental damage protection for $10 more.
I filled out a Customer Satisfaction Survey for my buy.com warranty purchase and they sent me a discount code for 20% off which I used for the Amazon Marketplace PE (saved me $7.99). This code can be found at several Coupon websites as well:
