The iPad — and that’s true for all variants — is an extremely versatile device. You can use it for work, entertainment, creativity and then some more. However, to get the most out of your iPad, it's important to have the right accessories. A keyboard can enhance the overall experience, a cover will protect the iPad and make it more durable whereas an external drive can sort your storage needs. Here’s a look at some of the accessories which can make the iPad experience better.
Budget keyboard
A keyboard is a must-have accessory for anyone who wants to do a lot more than just watch Netflix. You can pick from a variety of keyboards available. If you're on a budget, we recommend the Logitech 480 Bluetooth Keyboard. This keyboard is compact and lightweight, making it easy to take with you on the go. The keyboard is also spill-resistant and can be compatible with iPads up to 11 inches.
iPad Air cover: STM Dux Plus
A good case is essential for protecting your iPad from scratches and drops. The STM Dux Plus is a great option for the iPad Air. We have tested the STM Dux Plus for the new iPad Air. The STM Dux Plus is a rugged and reliable case for the iPad Air. Its tough exterior provides solid protection against drops and scratches.
The STM Dux Plus also has a translucent back — in case you want to put some stickers or customise it. The built-in stand is sturdy and the iPad doesn’t wobble at all with the cover. Another big plus of this cover is that you can magnetically attach the Apple Pencil to it and it charges wirelessly. In case you want a sturdy and dependable third-party cover for your iPad Air, you want to look at the STM Dux Plus.
External drive
A lot of people may end up buying the entry-level iPad for budget reasons. In that case, an external drive can go a long way in storing large files, backups, and multimedia content. The SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Go comes with up to 1 TB of storage space with fast transfer speeds of 400 MB/s. It comes with a starting price of Rs 1,109.
A power bank
Apple has improved the battery life of various iPad models over the years. However, if you are sweating over battery on the go, a power back can come in handy. The Xiaomi Pocket Power Bank is a good option for iPad users. This power bank is small and lightweight, making it easy to carry with you. It also has a high capacity — 10000mAh — so you can charge your iPad multiple times before needing to recharge the power bank.
SSD for creators
A solid state drive (SSD) can help in accessing larger files quickly. In case you are involved in video editing, then an SSD can save a lot of time. A good option to look at is the WD Passport SSD . It offers up to 4TB of storage capacity with 1050Mb/s transfer speeds for faster data transfer.
