Five Most Wanted IPad Accessories

By Dr Herbert Hyte


With the rising popularity of Apple's new iPad also comes the rise of numerous accessories to accompany and expand the utility of the popular gadget. Here's a list of five must have iPad accessories to make your user experience even better.

1. Apple iPad Case: To some consumers' surprise, one of the most popular and well-loved accessories to the iPad is not one made by a third-party manufacturer, but by Apple themselves. Many reviewers praise the case eagerly, describing it as being sleek, stylish, and reliably sturdy. It fits tightly around the iPad's frame while still exposing all of the ports for use. Its design also allows the case to be folded in two ways that seem intuitive to convenient use, one angle which seems to lend itself to movie watching, picture viewing, or showing off how you use your iPad, and the other angle set it much lower, allowing it to be easily typed upon.

2. Incase Combo Charger: Normally, more electronic gadgets means even more chargers to haul around (because honestly, who turns off any of their accessories these days anyway?). Incase has not only solved this problem by designing a charger that will fuel any and all of your Apple products, but they have also done so in a way twice as efficient as most of its competitors. The company has created a charger that plugs into a wall jack and a car charger in the same device. No need for special adaptors or more wires to carry around to make one device more useful; the Incase combo charger elegantly meets all of these needs in a product both compact and reliable. For this reason, it is a most wanted accessory on the market.

3. Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit: If you're a consumer who likes to stay on the edge of new technology and the nascent popular field of social media, then this kit is definitely for you. Apple developed a camera connection kit that allows you to transfer files from your camera or iPhone from anywhere you are, without the use of a laptop or any other in-between device, straight to your iPad. From there you can tweet these photos, post them on Facebook, or email them to friends and family.

4. Apple Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard: With iPads growing stronger in reputation as laptop replacements, there also grew a desire for an easier and more reliable typing medium. Apple also saw to this need and developed an easily transported keyboard that swiftly syncs via Bluetooth. This accessory is definitely a necessity for anyone who plans to use their iPad extensively for typing.

5. IPad Dock: No single manufacturer has come forward as the distinct lead in the dock market, but that doesn't change the dock's status as the ultimate accessory to any Apple product, and docks for iPads are no exception. This product, no matter the presentation or the manufacturer, is the accessory that adds the most significantly to your iPad experience. Docks feature a multitude of uses, such as a stable charging station, an excellent set of speakers that add to the pleasure of the aural/musical experience, and a syncing "headquarters" where a number of devices can be put into connection with your iPad.

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.

The amount of accessories available for sale is multitudinous, but hopefully this article illuminated some of the most sought-after ones and has helped guide you to your own conclusions about which you'll decide to purchase.
