Insurance for Tablets and Kindle

One minute it's a book, the next a jigsaw, then a film – yes, it's a tablet. Your tablet, no matter what make or model, does so much cool stuff that many of us would be lost without them.

Once you've stopped fighting over them with the kids, the tablet is one of the most widely used handheld devices at home and at work. Even the older generation are getting in on the act with more silver surfers preferring the tablet to the traditional laptop. They're light, compact, easy to use and always ready to go. We can't get enough of 'em!

Seriously though, the need to protect tablets and e-readers is more important than ever. Newer models with more features and bigger price tags are hitting the shops all the time. We're spending more on them, expecting more from them and taking them pretty much everywhere too (when we say everywhere, we really do mean everywhere!) Replacing a top of the range tablet can cost several hundred pounds. Ouchie… and the ways in which they can get damaged go on and on. Spilt drinks, clumsy kids, stood on by tiny dancers, sat on, dropped. To add to the terror, the cutting edge designs of the latest tablets make them a magnet for opportunist thieves.

Protecting your device with tablet insurance means you can go on and on relying on it, no matter what happens to it. Protect Your Gadget offers great policies, at a range of affordable price points, to ensure peace of mind that the cost and care of your tablet is covered at all times - wherever you are, whatever your situation. After all, what would you do without it?

Tablet insurance covers you for whatever happens to your beloved tablet or e-reader. If you take out insurance cover with Protect Your Gadget, you’ll be covered for accidental damage and for mechanical failure as standard.

“But what about cracked screens, ugly dents and big scratches?” We hear you cry. You can be covered for these if they stop your tablet from working, but cover is only provided in cases where a tablet or e-reader is damaged to the point where routine functionality has been lost. If it is dented or scratched, for example, but still works as expected then repair or replacement will not be provided.

Yes, your device will be covered at home and away.
