Third Party Insurance for iPad?

Who is well regarded third party insurer (loss or theft) for iPad? I am not looking for warranty, I mean actual insurance. All my other computer equipment is under my State Farm personal articles policy, but State Farm told me today they no longer insure the iPad due to high risk of a loss. I have a 64GB 3G iPad. So who does insure iPads? -- Thanks, Ralph

iPad 3G, 1.6 MBA, 2.66 Mac Mini & 20" ACD, Mac Pro & 30" ACD, iPhone 3GS, Mac OS X (10.6.3), Time Capsule

I've not used them myself, but Safeware is the company my previous university would recommend. They definitely offer coverage for the iPad.

Thanks Dave, based on your suggestion I applied online to Safeware and am already insured. Worked fine. - Ralph

Hope you won't need them, and if you do that they work out for you. Cheers.

Consider square trade for iPad coverage and apply discount code ultimatedad for 30% discount.

Definitely Google on your choices... I've seen much better evaluations and many more about Square Trade.

The key is the accident, breakage coverage which you don't get with Apple Care. OTOH, AC is excellent to have, especially if you live near an Apple Store and can just drop by to have a genius diagnose and fix your device!

That's too bad about State Farm.

Also, the ultimatedad coupon doesn't seem to add anything over the 20% you already get at ST.
