And really, it's also the most logical way to set the eligibility criteria. The coverage is negotiated with Asurion, after all, and in such negotiations, they're unlikely to care WHAT the phone is. Their bottom line is what it's going to cost them to replace it.

But, if you can pull that list of ...

Though uh... I cheerfully concede that the odds of it ever being insurable are slim to none. 😛
