iPad Accessories and the Reasons You Might Just Need Them

By Joaquin Eckhardt


As the iPad has become an integral part of our computing world, the number of accessories seems to explode daily. From extra-long-life battery packs to carrying cases, you can bling out, power up, connect and protect. But before you jump overboard, here's an overview of what's available, and what you need NOW:

Screen Protection

Your iPad is an investment, so it makes sense to protect it. For protection, at a minimum you'll want a screen protector. These nearly invisible self-adhesive, clear plastic sheets cling to your iPad screen, protecting it from scratches without disturbing your view. At a cost as low as $4, there's no reason to skip this critical protection level. Keeping your iPad in pristine condition is also important in case you ever want to resell it.

Case Protection

When you have got your screen covered, you could be wondering why you need to have a case protector. Well, just as you would not want dents or dings on the body of your car, you don't want your lovely iPad scraped up, either! And with the large choice of cases, you may choose a portfolio, an easel-style, one that includes a keyboard, and a large number of alternatives in a variety of materials and colors. Prices range between $15 to $100 or higher. Even if you wouldn't like to keep your iPad in a fancy holder, you might still choose to buy a very simple neoprene carrying sleeve to hold it safe as you're toting it around.

Power Support

The iPad has a great battery life, but if you plan on using it as your main mobile computing device, you might want to beef up your power supply by adding a car charger, which is available for as little as $4, or an external battery, which can range from $40 and up.

Special Interest Add-Ons

Photography fiends, grab a camera adapter and cable kit so that you can download pictures from your digital camera to your iPad. Music enthusiasts, you may need to scoop up an external speaker, or perhaps a set of earphones, because the iPad does not include them. Do not forget about a wireless keyboard so you're able to crank out your next best-seller on the road! Whatever your interest, there is most likely an accessory to complement.

As the iPad continues to make its way into the mainstream, more and more accessories will become available. Keep checking out the latest and greatest, and you'll soon find they've made one just for you.
