iPad 2 will almost certainly be one of the most coveted gifts this holiday season, but you don?t have to spring for the actual iPad to win some major points with the lucky recipient. That?s because most iPad users soon discover there are certain accessories that are indispensable, according to the experts at Small Dog Electronics, the third largest Apple Specialist in the U.S. The recommendations they?ve compiled below, based on their sales statistics, represent the most popular and frequently purchased add-ons for new iPad users within a few months of ownership. And all make perfect, budget-friendly gifts and stocking stuffers.
Speakers and Sound Accessories: The iPad excels most of all as a media-browsing device. With headphones on, that downloaded HD movie or Pandora song can sound three-dimensional. But disconnect from the headphones and users quickly become aware that they?ll need external speakers. The Chill Pill? mobile speakers feature a tiny streamlined form factor that belies their substantial sound, turning the iPad into the perfect on-the-go sound machine. Available in six colors, Chill Pill speakers are the ideal gift for any movie, music or audio book lover, and at under $ 40, these speakers topped Small Dog?s list of ?best value? accessories.
Stylus and Keyboard Accessories: iPad owners who want to use the device to take electronic handwritten notes soon discover that they?ll need a stylus to really take advantage of their chosen app?s capabilities (there are a variety of good ones available for download, including NotesPlus and WritePad). The sleek and lightweight Hammerhead? stylus is perfect for the student or businessperson and is available in a variety of colors for under $ 15.
Protection: The gorgeous glass touch screen display is the heart of the iPad, and though it?s remarkably scratch-resistant, it can begin to show dings and scrapes over time. The iWrap screen protector is cut specifically for the iPad and provides the ultimate crystal clear protection without affecting device functionality or aesthetic appeal. This easy-to-apply screen protector retails for $ 19.99. For users who seek even more protection for their new iPad, the experts from Small Dog recommend Hammerhead?s best selling Hard Shell case. The durable and lightweight polymer case is one of the few on the market that protects the iPad from all directions ? front, back and on all sides ? without adding much bulk or weight to the iPad?s sleek design. Available in ten colors, it retails for $ 39.99.
Content: A new iPad is virtually screaming to be filled with content: music, movies, TV shows, books and apps will all be finding their way onto a newbie?s iPad just as soon as it?s powered up. Help keep the recent iPad recipient financially solvent by gifting them an iTunes prepaid card. They?re available in a variety of denominations via the iTunes store, Small Dog Electronics or at many large grocery chains and big box stores. Your friends and family will thank you whether they?re downloading Angry Birds or the latest season of Breaking Bad.
