What Kinds of IPad Accessories Are Most Necessary

IPad Accessories are purchased separately from the basic portable computer and you will find that most items that you consider a necessity come as an accessory. An iPad is a small computer that is designed to be portable and has limited operating capabilities because of this design. Most like the technology for the audio and video use and have found the 25 ounces of weight to be an advantage. The tablet can be operated using touch screen and one of the necessary options to purchase should be a screen protector. This is a thin plastic film that can be applied over the screen to protect from fingerprint smudges and scratches.

If you will carry your device as it was designed to be used, you should invest in a protective case. These can be as simple as a fabric sleeve or as elaborate as a wood box laser engraved to your specifications. The soft cases are lighter and are more flexible than the hard shell cases. However, the harder shells will give better protection if the unit is packed into a suitcase or backpack. Some have a foam lining for impact resistance and others come with water resistant properties. If you plan on taking your computer with you to the waterfront or to the pool you should invest in the water resistant, impact resistant case.

A docking station is considered a must because it will allow you to sync your tablet to your home computer. You will take pictures and video while using the portable device, but because of its limited memory, transferring that data to your home computer is recommended. If you purchase the docking station you will also have the ability to use audio cable to connect speakers to enhance the sound of music played on your portable device. 

A dock for keyboarding using full size will transfer your keystrokes from those on the touch screen to an actual keyboard. The docking station has a port that allows you to use an electrical outlet with a USB Adapter to use these accessories and for syncing with your home computer. Charging using the electrical outlet will extend the life of your portable battery. Connecting to a television using a VGA adapter and the docking station will allow transmission of data from high-definition television. What you play on your iPad will be shown on the television. 

The camera connection kit allows you to import both photographs and video from a digital camera using the USB cable or the SD card. Some users believe that external speakers are a must to deliver the stereo sounds they expect. IPad accessories are numerous and you can select those you use the most.

What Kind of iPad Leather Case Should I Choose

The iPad leather case that you choose for your portable computer can be made at home or can be elaborately made by a craftsman.  There are several online stores that sell these cases and they are not too expensive. The leather used is a heavier duty that than of boots and is designed to last up to 100 years. This will certainly outlast your portable device! When you order from one of the makers on the internet you will have a choice of several colors and styles.

One of the styles that is preferred by a lot of professional people is the portfolio style. This is more like a bag or briefcase and has a pocket on the inside for stowing your computer. There are pockets for business cards, a pad of paper, a zipper compartment for some of the smaller accessories, and loops for pens and pencils. Another popular style is the document bag that is designed much the same as the portfolio but is slimmer and will not have all the specialized compartments. You keep your computer on the inside but the zipper compartment on the back is designed to carry a few pieces of paper.

A lightweight alternative to the bag style carriers is the one that resembles a giant envelope. There is a flap that opens to allow you to remove and insert your computer. The flap tucks into a slot on the front of the case and secures the computer for travel. If all these are more money than you want to spend or more elaborate than you need, you can design your own leather case.

The pattern online will help you to create a book-style binder that will securely hold your computer. You will need the leather, binding board, a utility knife, PVA glue, a strip of elastic, Velcro, and binding paper. After tracing the appropriate design on the binding board use the utility knife to cut out along the tracing lines. Place the leather on a flat surface and smooth out. Put the binding board pieces on the leather and trim with at least 2cm excess. Space the pieces one millimeter apart to allow the ‘book’ to fold. Glue the binding board to the leather, folding over the edges, and sealing on the inside cover with the paper liner. The glue will need to set up and dry overnight. After drying you will be able to use the utility knife to cut small holes in the back for attaching the elastic to keep the book securely shut.

Whichever cover you choose you will need to clean it regularly and the iPad leather case should outlast the life of your computer.
