An iPad works perfectly by itself but we can make it a much more versatile device if we accompany it with the right accessories. Obviously, to give that courtship to the Apple tablet we will have to assume some expenses but we may have a much better experience by doing it and we do not think so much about the money we spend on the tablet alone. These are in my opinion the best iPad accessories and the most fundamental.
Sheath: Griffin Survivor Military Duty.
The first is protect our iPad and with a good cover. This in my opinion is the best. It resists almost everything that we think we can do to it: falls, blows, dust, liquid spills, etc ... Its name has earned it since it passes some tests that are made on materials that use the equipment of the American army. Apart from the entire case, it effectively protects the iPad screen, the weakest and most expensive, and allows access to the ports through hinged closures that protect them when not in use. Its price is not high for how safe we will be, 36 euros on Amazon.
If we wanted something lighter with even less protection but that offers other qualities we could go for the Smart Cover, only available for the New iPad, which provides a tablet shutdown with its magnetic closure. In addition, it also has support or stand functions. Without a doubt, I would not buy the official Apple that is worth 40 or 50 euros, depending on the model, if not the good imitations that we can find for only $15.
Bluetooth keyboard for iPad: Targus AKB32ES
It is a wireless keyboard at a good price and that perfectly supplements the one provided by Apple. The only difference is the design and it doesn't work with Macs. It connects via Bluetooth and charges via USB. It is the same size as the iPad, perfect to carry it in the same case. Its price is almost the best: only 31,47 euros on Amazon.
IPad stand: Belkin F5L084CW
This support undoubtedly offers the best value for money if we simply look for that: something that supports our iPad in a vertical or horizontal position and that allows its inclination to be adjusted. By $16 it is more than reasonable.
If we wanted one combination of all accessories aforementioned, although with a lower level of protection we would go directly to Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover, which combines a smart cover with keyboard and stand in a single accessory that comes with all the Logitech quality assurance. Voucher $105 but we won't have to worry about anything else.
IPad Car Holder: Griffin Cinema Seat 2
If we want to entertain the passengers in the back of the car, especially the children, on long road trips, we can use the iPad car holders as a movie player. This is not one of the most specialized and therefore expensive, but it is from Griffin, a trusted brand in iPad accessories, and it comes at a good price. It can be purchased together with a cable to charge the iPad in the car for just $36.
The iPad as a console: ION iCade Core
We are facing an iPad dock that brings controls, type joystick plus buttons, of the old arcade machines so that we play more comfortable. It is compatible with more than 500 iPad games and when you buy it, you will be given an application that gives access to many titles on the iPad. Atari console. It costs between 70 and 99 euros depending on the store, so consider it a whim.
Guitar Pedal Connector: iRig Stomp
With this device that is a true guitar pedal, you can connect your iPad to your electric guitar and play or record using compatible applications, highlighting AmpliTube and all its versions to modify the distortion that you want to apply to the pedal. Costs $46.
MIDI-Connect for iPad:
With this adapter we can connect MIDI instruments to our iPad looking for the tablet to take on two functions. One, controller of the instrument for performances, connecting the instrument to its MIDI Out port and applying effects, distortions or synthesizers to it with applications intended for this. Two, a track recorder that, accompanied by suitable applications for it, being the simplest and most popular Garage Band, allows us to collect the sound of our MIDI instrument.
