Asurion Home+ does not cover Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses. The plan’s list of eligible devices includes smartwatches, fitness bands, VR headsets, and audio headsets, but smart glasses and augmented reality glasses are not among the covered categories.1Asurion. What’s Covered Home+ is also closed to new enrollments, though existing subscribers retain full access to claims and support.
Why Meta Glasses Fall Outside Home+
The Home+ terms require that a device fit within one of the plan’s defined product categories to be eligible for a claim.2Amazon. Asurion Home+ Terms and Conditions Meta Ray-Ban glasses sit in an awkward spot: they have speakers, a camera, a voice assistant, and livestreaming, but they are not VR headsets, not smartwatches, and not traditional audio headsets. Smart glasses are neither listed as covered nor named in the exclusions. In practice, a device that falls outside the defined categories is likely to produce a denied claim rather than a judgment call in the customer’s favor.
There is a second obstacle. The plan requires covered “Smart” products to connect via Wi-Fi, ZigBee, Z-Wave, Insteon, or Thread Group protocols.3Asurion. Asurion Home+ Terms and Conditions Meta glasses pair over Bluetooth to a phone, which doesn’t match any of those listed protocols.
Asurion Plans That Do Cover Smart Glasses
Asurion Complete MyHome
Complete MyHome lists “Augmented reality (AR) glasses” as a covered device under home entertainment and states it covers “any make or model” within its eligible categories.4Asurion. Asurion Complete MyHome – What’s Covered Meta Ray-Ban glasses are not named by brand, so whether a particular pair qualifies as AR glasses under the plan’s definitions would come down to how Asurion classifies the device at claim time.
Verizon Home Device Protect
The Asurion-administered plan sold through Verizon, Home Device Protect, also lists “Augmented reality (AR) glasses” among its covered products.5Asurion. Verizon Home Device Protect – What’s Covered The same caveat about brand-level classification applies.
Eyewear Protection Plan Through Optical Retailers
Asurion administers a standalone Eyewear Protection Plan sold through optical retailers such as LensCrafters. This plan explicitly covers smart glasses and will replace a covered pair in the event of a breakdown, including accidental damage like cracked or scratched lenses and frames. The copay is $100 for smart glasses with non-prescription lenses and $125 for prescription lenses.6LensCrafters. Eyewear Protection Plan Terms and Conditions It must be purchased at the time the eyewear is bought, and the device has to be factory-reset before any replacement service.
If You’re Looking to Enroll Now
Asurion has replaced Home+ for new customers with Asurion Tech Care, which covers phones, home tech, and major appliances.7Asurion. Asurion Home+ The Tech Care landing page names VR headsets and smartwatches but does not mention smart glasses or AR glasses, and it points to a separate coverage page for the full device list.8Asurion. Asurion Tech Care Anyone considering Tech Care specifically to protect Meta glasses should confirm eligibility on that detailed list or with Asurion directly before signing up, because the public summary does not promise coverage for this category.
