And, State Farm is not pennies on the dollar It’s $$ per $100 insured. I have a personal articles policy for some other items. I had it on a hearing aid and former cell phone as well. The cell phone was damaged and I had to purchase it and get reimbursed for it. 9 months later the hearing aid was also damaged and I got a nice letter form State Farm that they would drop my policy if I had any more claims within a year. Even with all the years of homeowners, auto, personal liability, etc. They have never even come close to paying out 1/10th of what we put in. Now I keep the personal items policy as spare as I can.

While this is a great idea, a lot of places will not insure cell phones this way, including iPhones. I’m with State Farm and have a ton of stuff covered on my personal articles policy (Laptops, firearms, frequently worn jewelry, etc.) but they will not cover my iPhones. I don’t know about iPads, I haven’t asked…
