Insurance for tablet

Hi,
My husband's first Nexus 7 got dropped and the screen smashed, we discovered it would cost about the same amount to buy a new one as to fix the old one. Before I buy a replacement, I was hoping to find somewhere that insures tablets against accidental damage, in case something similar happens again. I have checked and neither my bank account or home contents insurance already cover this.

Can anyone recommend a company/policy please?

    Extend your current policy to cover All Risks specified items (ie.whilst away from the home) - but check the excess.

    Before you buy a replacement why not wait and see what happens next week when google announce details of at least a new nexus tablet which i believe is rumoured to be 32gb.

    Thanks, I'd just spotted that myself, sounds like the 32gb will cost the same price a 16gb currently does. Fingers crossed.

    Also self insure, put say £10 away a month he will be a lot better with the next one trust me
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.
