Anyone pay for gadget insurance?

I was thinking recently, I carry around so many expensive devices if I were to be mugged I'd be out close to a grand.

I've always avoided Phones4U/CPW style mobile insurance as it always seemed overpriced.

Does anyone have gadget insurance? How much do you pay? I've had a quick look around but would be interested in people's experiences.

Yeah everything's covered in the home under the contents insurance (including accidental damage), but the second I walk out the front door I'm not covered.

For normal peeps with a brain and sense It's a complete waste.

I live in London and commute on a combination of tubes and buses. I consider myself savvy enough not to forget my bag and to watch out for people trying to put their hands in my bag but given the value of the items most of us carry around these days I am wondering!

I have had on one occasion someone trying to undo the zip on my bag while I've been walking down a platform. The brazen cheek. Dude bolted when I turned around.

Oooh I do have an Amex, I'll have a look if I'm eligible.
