Here is our short review into the top five iPad accessories, for the home, the workplace and the beach. See how each compares and how they fair in our top five countdown.
1. iPad Vanity Plate
A rather ugly solution to a rather ugly problem, this accessory is incase you misplace your rather expensive new toy.
Home: Shocking, it’s simply an ugly add-on with no place in the home.
Work: Not great, unless you work in a public place or large building the chances of loosing your iPad will be few.
Holiday: Not bad, despite its potential it still requires that your iPad not fall into the wrong hands.
2. PowerJolt
Designed to power the iPad from a cars lighter point this is the perfect companion for the iPad on the move.
Home: Useless, this isn’t a device intended for the home. Full stop.
Work: Not bad, however it does require the use of a car for commuting to be of any value.
Holiday: Brilliant, providing you have access to a car, otherwise a bit of a waste of space.
3. A-Frame
Not to be mistaken for a piece of gym equipment, this handy device ensures your device is the perfect angle for reading and web browsing.
Home: Great, it’s a nice device and makes reading eBooks that bit easier.
Work: Pretty good, providing you are actually using the iPad for work.
Holiday: Poor, although not big this really isn’t something to make room for in your suitcase, nice but not essential.
4. Foxl Portable Speakers
You may have heard the buzz surrounding this one, the sound is phenomenal given the tiny size. Here’s how it stacks up in our ratings:
Home: Great, the prefect device for the kitchen or lounge, a great match.
Work: Not bad, maybe not ideal if you share an office.
Holiday: Ideal, with the ability to be battery powered, if it survives the sand this would be the perfect traveling companion.
5. iPad Camera Connection Kit
This simple cable allows the iPad to read and copy pictures straight from a digital camera, allowing you to view and edit them on the move.
Home: Good, whilst not a replacement for a full blown computer this kit would certainly come in handy.
Work: Not bad, whilst not for everyone there are a number of work places where this would be ideal.
Holiday: Perfect, the plug and play simplicity of it makes it the ideal travel companion for viewing holiday snaps.
