Texas Leads the Way this National Device Appreciation Day

In less time than it takes to put a water-logged iPhone into a bowl of uncooked rice, Texans can get customizable insurance for their most important belongings, like their mobile phones, laptops, bicycles, etc., quickly, easily, and inexpensively, with coverage from as little as $1 per month.

Available on iOS and Android, Traverse is the first mobile app-enabled insurance platform for covering all of your most important devices and belongings no matter how old they are. Available only in Texas, Traverse is backed by Travelers Insurance, making it a flexible, credible, and affordable supplement or alternative to traditional homeowners or renters insurance. Simply snap a photo of the item you’d like to cover and the platform will offer a quote within seconds.

To celebrate the launch of this game-changing app in the Lone Star State, Traverse has teamed up with National Today to sponsor National Device Appreciation Day, an annual holiday highlighting the many ways our devices — and other belongings — impact our lives and the importance of having the right insurance policies to protect them. National Device Appreciation Day includes tips for ensuring all of your devices are properly protected, and fun ways to celebrate our devices and the whip-smart ways we keep them safe.

“Insurance is so often an overlooked part of our lives but that’s because it’s never been available like this,” said Matthew Elan Smith, Co-Founder of Pineapple, developer of the Traverse App. “Traverse is bringing insurance products into the 21st century with quick, easy coverage options that actually reflect the mobile, device-driven lifestyle that we all lead. We are sponsoring National Device Appreciation Day because we believe insurance should be something that everyone can embrace and we’re doing our part to make it the relevant and important part of our lives that it should be.”

The Traverse app may use the newest technology and AI, but it is backed by Travelers, a trusted insurance company that has been in the business for over 165 years. As a leader in the industry with an earned reputation as one of the best in the biz, you’ll know that your favorite items will be protected and secure.

Customers can insure their belongings no matter how long they have owned them and with the insurance no longer being connected to their homes they can take that insurance wherever they go for as long as they live in Texas. The mobile app is convenient, intuitive, and available 24/7, making insuring your belongings when and where you want easier than it has ever been before.

Traverse is more than just a device insurance platform. It is a mobile and customizable insurance option that gives customers the freedom to insure only the belongings that matter most to them. Customers can now insure single items without the added expense of covering an entire home’s worth of belongings. It can also serve to supplement traditional renters or homeowners insurances, adding an extra layer of protection.

But this isn’t where Traverse’s innovations end. The platform allows you to insure single items for as little as $1 a month with the snap of a picture via the Traverse App. You can choose to cover items such as personal electronics, sporting equipment, musical instruments, and many more in just 60 seconds and cancel at any time. It’s the flexible, convenient, and affordable way to protect your most important belongings.

In addition to receiving insurance quotes, managing coverage, and handling claims, the mobile app gives you access to rewards for completing virtual challenges including gift cards to businesses you visit every day.
