[gary adcock] " covers a limited amount of physical damage ( like a reduced replacement charge if you spill liquids)."
Yes, it does on the unibody designs- my wife spilled liquid on her Air and the replacement unit was discounted and it does cover discounted display repairs- the most comon damage.
As has been said, a "marine" insurance policy is used to cover most electronics and camera equiptment, line item the laptop on your insurance and then you are only out the deductable for replacement.
