tittus Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Picked up an iPad 2 yesterday and love it. So does anyone have any recommendations for accessories(case, keyboard etc.) I also have an iPhone 4 and have seen a couple of sweet docking stations for both.

GradedOnACurve Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 My wife has a soft cover case to travel with. It also converts into a holder/stand so it serves multiple purposes. Found it at Marshall's for cheap. Only problem it that its Hot Pink. I'm sure it comes in other colors. tittus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circuit bored records Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Have an iPad 2 and an iPhone 4. While I don't have use for a docking station, I can recommend any case made by the company InCase (have one for each), they really work great. The Apple smart cover is awesome too, I use it a lot just for the fact it automatically puts to sleep/wakes up the ipad when you close/open it. Super convenient. The only thing is the smart cover doesn't cover the back so you should get a separate back cover which can be more expensive all together than just one case from a third party company like InCase. As far as other accessories go, I won this bluetooth speaker at a company raffle and use it more than any other accessory, and way more than I expected to: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Wireless-USB-Speaker-Z515/dp/B003VAHYXW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1342712936&sr=8-2&keywords=logitech+z15 My gf doesn't have cable or a big TV at her place so we Netflix or use a media server on the iPad but the sound quality of the built-in speakers isn't loud enough by far. The Logitech speaker is awesome, just wirelessly connects and gives much louder/better quality. Also like to pair it to my phone and listen to music. It even has an auxiliary port to plug in any computer/mp3 player/walkman and a built in rechargeable battery. As far as other accessories go, it really depends how you want to use the iPad. I sometimes recommend a stylus if you are going to be drawing at all (that game Draw Something is really popular for iOS) or a Zagg Invisible Shield if you are accident prone. I know Logitech also makes a keyboard/case combo that got pretty decent reviews since you mentioned a keyboard as well, I've used it at work it is fairly easy to use. http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Keyboard-Built--Stand-920-003402/dp/B0054JE706/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1342713547&sr=1-3&keywords=logitech++keyboard+ipad Also here's a keyboard that doesn't double as a case but is more comfortable to type on: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Tablet-Keyboard-Keyboard--920-003241/dp/B0054L8MR8/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1342713547&sr=1-4&keywords=logitech++keyboard+ipad There's the best buy response for you. tittus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviex2shoes Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 After tons of reading and researching for Ipad cases I ended up getting the Toblino 2, I couldn't be happier with it: http://www.amazon.co...words=toblino 2 This case looks pretty cool to: http://www.woot.com/offers/kickstand-case-for-apple-ipad-2 tittus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrc Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Dodo cases are really sweet looking and I've heard they're great. They're just so expensive. true, but i was lucky enough to find a deal for half off a few months back. If i didnt have the deal i probably would have gone a different route. But yeah they are super nice, clean, slim and protects well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviex2shoes Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 i saw them recently on Fab or Amazon gold deals for about half off. If I didn't already have a case I probably would have picked it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
