New policies also cover other portable tablet devices

Gadget insurer Citymain has launched policies to cover iPads and other tablet computers.

The cover can be sold by retailers at point of sale of the device itself. Citymain provide a centralised claims fulfilment service, issue policies and handle repairs and replacement.

Citymain managing director Paul Kelsey said: “Our policy allows our clients, such as Apple Premier Resellers and other participating retailers, to tailor the coverage to meet the needs of their customers. We can provide day-one protection against theft and accidental damage, including liquid damage, as well as giving the customer the opportunity to extend the manufacturers’ warranty for product failure."
