Accessories to make your iPad 2 even pricier

iPad 2 Dock With this sleek dock stand, you get access to a port for syncing or charging. And you get an audio line out port for connecting to powered speakers via an optional audio cable. As an icing on the cake, this dock also supports other iPad accessories such as, Apple Digital AV Adapter and the iPad Camera Connection Kit.

Many people in the world like iPad. But they get tired when they hold iPad for a long time. That is why Kickstarter made the world’s biggest iPad stand known as Hanfree. With this, now you can use your iPad anywhere comfortably – in the bed, kitchen or anywhere else for that matter. Hanfree, available for $50 from Kickstarter, but if it goes in the market it will cost $80, can be moved in all directions (360 degree rotation) because the stainless steel neck comes with a small ball like object which can rotate in all directions.

Now with iPad 2, you get HDMI video out, which makes iPad 2 a portable video device that you can connect to your actual television. With this HDMI cable, you will be able to get mirrored video output as well as a full 1080p video output. This integration costs $39, which I think, is totally worth spending to marvel at something like this!

ZaggMate with keyboard case is easily connected to your iPad, using which you can type on your iPad along with smoothly controlling the volume on it. The case is sleek and compact and you can accommodate your iPad in either portrait or landscape mode.

Stylus is pen-shaped and gives you yet another flexible option of using iPad. So now becoming a mobile artist is not that tough!

Getting better with each version, Apple gives an option of a smart cover this time. It is a flap that sticks to the front of the iPad using magnets that enables auto-alignment to the screen. It has a unique feature of automatically waking up when you put it off and sleeping as you close it. Since the smart cover2 has fiber cloth, it keeps the screen clean and you have two options to choose from – poly or leather. Poly cases are worth $39 and are available in 5 colors. Leather being more expensive, the price touches $69.

Well, if you are into multi-tasking, you will love this accessory. The iPad 2 headphones are Bluetooth enabled, which means that you do not have to carry your iPad while listening to music or audios. Mostly underrated, I find this feature extremely useful, especially when you are driving.

This one is kind of a must-have for all those who are on wheels quite a bit. Owning a car charger with USB compatibility is advantageous as you can charge any device that has USB port on one end. Also, you can charge your iPhone and iPod along with your iPad and iPad 2; iRobot too if Apple plans to launch that in near future. If you have a mini/micro USB to USB cable, you can charge even your Android tablet or smartphone. So a single source charger is all you need for all your USB gadgets.

When it comes to typing, keyboards are very convenient accessories. The Targus Bluetooth enabled wireless keyboards make for a cable-less device. The black keyboard provides for a 7-month battery operation along with a fresh set of batteries. You can use this keyboard with your MacBook Pro, iMac or Mac Mini. Also, the Bluetooth element makes sure that it is compatible with next generation iPads too.

Specially designed for iPad 2, the iPad 2 skin highly provides scratch defense without changing the look or size of your device. With the iPad 2 skin on, you can easily access all camera lenses, ports, buttons, and speaker openings.

Now that is called innovation. Ever heard of a case with an inbuilt keyboard? This is another luxury iPad accessory case that incorporates a Bluetooth wireless keyboard into a hard shell aluminum case. This one is for all the budding artists or those who like the free-hand movement on their devices.
