Five Must Have IPad Accessories

By Dr Herbert Hyte


As the popularity of Apple's new iPad continues to rise, so too does the demand in markets for accessories to this fashionable device. Below is a list of five of the most wanted iPad accessories aimed at elevating your product experience even more.

1. Apple iPad Case: Typically, the accessories sold by Apple themselves are not the most popular or well-liked accessories for Apple products by their consumers. However, the iPad case seems to be a break from this tradition; many consumers who have this case give it eager and sincere praise for its blend of utility and aesthetic. It has a lot of smooth style and looks rather like it belongs with the iPad's black, futuristic design. It also provides great ease of use in allowing itself to be folded in two different ways that prop up the iPad. Both of these ways are ways that most users intuitively set up the iPad, but usually hold it with their hands or lean it against a makeshift stand. The Apple case does away with makeshift and allows you to stand up your device with its own case. The previously mentioned elements of bold style, ease of use, and sturdiness all combine to make a well-received and well sought-after iPad accessory.

2. Incase Combo Charger: A common problem found in the release of new, trendy electronic devices is the practical problem presented by having to lug around even more chargers to keep your gadgets topped off. Incase tackled this problem and have come up with what many describe to be a very elegant solution. The Incase combo charger works with any recent-generation Apple product, so it is already very useful in that it charges multiple products. Not only does it do that, it also plugs both into a wall jack and a car charger and it accomplishes this in the same device. As a compact and multi-use product, the Incase is a very popular accessory to any Apple product.

3. Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit: Many consumers who purchase the iPad self-report that they consider themselves users on the very edge of technology and new social media. To satisfy a large deal of their consumer base, Apple devised a very easy accessory to their newest flagship product; they designed a camera connection kit that allows anyone who has it to transfer photos, images and video on the fly from any source that records digital media, be that your fancy dSLR or even your iPhone. Once on your iPad, you can show off your pictures to your friends on a much bigger screen than on your camera, or you can post them to the internet to share with the world.

4. Apple Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard: Though both iPhone and iPad typing has been decently received by most consumers, there are still many who complain that the touchscreen interface is simply not compatible with high-volume, frequent typing. Apple aimed to meet that need by releasing their wireless Bluetooth keyboard, which syncs rapidly and easily over Bluetooth. This keyboard serves a highly portable, sturdy extension that most certainly lends itself to high-volume use, and furthers the iPad's utility as a laptop replacement and workstation.

5. IPad Dock: No one manufacturer has claimed a solid lead in the most popular iPad dock, though Apple's presentation of this product is a common one. In any case, the providers of this product are myriad and plenty, so it really depends upon consumer taste as to which dock you may prefer. However, there is no doubt that the dock itself is certainly a must have accessory, as it is essentially the ultimate accessory for the iPad; it charges, it stabilizes, it adds much better speakers to the iPad; it allows for tremendously easy syncing to any other portable device, be it laptop, phone, iPhone, iPod. Some docks even feature a VGA connection that would allow you to stream your screen to a television and share your iPad experience with a group of friends or family.

Runners up: Other products worth mentioning are car mounts that turn your iPad into a GPS replacement, an investment into a quality pair of headphones, and other, very different cases that are available.

There is an incredible amount of accessory products available out there for the iPad, and the desirability of many of them will depend upon your unique tastes, but hopefully this list provided an agreeable starting point of investment for your new life with your iPad.
