Startup dotmobile adds Bounce screen insurance to its marketplace


TORONTO and VANCOUVER – Vancouver-based Bounce is bringing its insurance products to the dotmobile marketplace, the companies announced Thursday.

Joining other brands like Speck, Mellow, and Razer, Bounce screen protection plans, unlike traditional insurance programs offered by carriers and retailers, cover both new and used smartphones. Every device in Canada is eligible for coverage, as long as the screen isn’t already broken.

Bounce says it focuses “on making the claim process as easy as possible for a customer. Get your phone repaired anywhere you want. Upload your repair receipt. And we pay you back in 24-hours,” said Scott Walker, founder of Bounce in the press release.

A promotional back-to-school rate is now available through the dotmobile app, starting at $33 per year for two screen replacements.

A public alpha version of the dotmobile app is available now for Android and iOS. Any Canadian can download the app, no matter who their wireless service provider is today and Bounce screen protection plans are available for purchase in the app, which includes a curated marketplace that can detect the users’ phone and show compatible accessories and services.
