Five Most Popular IPad Accessories

By Dr Herbert Hyte


As popularity of Apple's new flagship product continues to skyrocket, new markets are blooming and burgeoning in tandem, chiefly those which produce goods that complement use of the iPad. Since there is an incredible amount of product to navigate out there, this article endeavors to guide you through descriptions of the five most popular iPad accessories.

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: 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: Apple continues to enable their iPads to maintain their reputations as devices which lend themselves to be used by people on the edge of technology and new social media. The Camera Connection Kit allows you to transfer photo files on the fly from your digital camera, iPhone, or Nano directly to your iPad, and from there you can tweet, Facebook, or email them away.

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 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: Five is a number too small to begin to scratch the surface of all the cool gadgets out there that work for or in tandem with the iPad, so here are a few other very popular products. One company manufacturers products that focus on using iPads as a GPS or car TV replacements and thus produce front and backseat mounts that are useful to either (or both) you and your children. A set of quality headphones is an essential addition to any device that plays music and amplifies the pleasure of the experience of owning and using such a device more than tenfold. There are also a number of alternative cases available than the one provided by Apple; the appeal of each of these depends upon you, however, so descriptions serve no use here. A simple internet search yields results in the thousands and the rest depends upon you and your wishes.

The amount of accessories available out there for the iPad is nearly unfathomable, but hopefully this article has shed a little light and guidance on the matter and helped you to decide which accessories you would like to try out first.
