I have to admit. I was given one once. And honestly, I thumbed my nose at it. I ended up regifting it to someone else. Now that was before I knew anything about it. I saw a plastic camera with plastic lens and it being cheap. I had all my fancy Nikon gear, why would I want a cheap plastic camera?

Now of course I know better. I could of course buy one. And just might now they they are coming back.

Should I pay the $10.90 for the 4 year protection plan?

They are unique and a blast to shoot with. I often forget I own three of them. There's so many creative things to do with them, your only limited by your mind. This thread has me thinking of dusting it off.

No. Spend it on a roll of gaffer's tape instead

She gets the award?? I am the one with the hurt arm from the twisting.

You wouldn't have a sore arm if you hadn't needed convincing. Of course, she gets the reward. It's work!
