IPA Accessories

In the next few minutes, I'm going to share with you the best iPad accessories I've tested for my iPad in the last year. I'm going to start with the basics Now if you t Now I've gone through a ton of terrible slim cases in the last w And out of t It's the Patekka MagEasy Folio 2. T Here's three and a half reasons why. First of all, my iPad doesn't sit in a cheap plastic cover. It sits on a bed of microfiber, w Everyt As you can see the magnets on the back of the second thing I do Now about half the cases that I've tested come with a flap, but this flap not only does it keep my stylus in place, but if you don't use a stylus, it sits flush against the edge of the iPad, which is something I can't say for products This ESR product, the flap is really, really loose because it's ass As assignment, the design of t Your typical smart cover has three panes to it, but the problem is it doesn't stay on your iPad screen really well if you're using a screen protector of any sort. With t It doesn't fold up. Everyt And the third thing, which is the best feature about this product, is that I can set my iPad up Now, downside of the case edge does protrude out a little bit, so there is a bit of clearance, but if the lack of edge protection we're due up, considering getting a Moshe Versa cover, your iPad will sit in a piece of cheap plastic, but you get the different orientations with t Now, from my experience, I don't drop my iPad as much as I do my iPhone, and I t And out of t Is the Zugu Zuju Soju iPad Pro case? First of all, the back of the case is extremely rigid. So when your iPad falls, it's not popping out of the case. The Zugu is to put that into perspective, the tougher iPhone cases that I recommend, the corners are about 2. 6 millimeters t Now, the finish on t It's a little cl And there's actually two places for you to stir your Apple Pencil. You've got t No one knows if you can see it, but there's t Now, there are a couple of downsides with the static or suction of the cover kind of stays on the iPad. But The second thing I don't All right, let's talk about screen protection. When it comes to screen protectors, you get glass options, paper- Now, out of all these screen protectors, I would not go with glass screen protectors, mostly because if you c These t Now, if you're t I'm a viewer and an influencer, so no one's paying me to make these videos. T All right, what's going to be the best glass film protector to use? It's these guys, and t Here's why. When it comes to screen quality of the iPad, newest iPad Pro with its 10-in-1-well-lady screen, the quality is just stunning. Glass film protectors are going to keep the quality of the screen w These glass films maintain the smoothness of the screen, w Before all the people don't use styluses, t But The first being scratch protection. These glass films aren't as scratch resistant as your glass screen protectors. The average glass film will scratch around three, glasses seven, so you're going to see a lot of wear and tear over time. And these t It's just one big piece of, it's one big sticker that you got to put on t But it's my go-to type of screen protector. I would recommend going with the ESR Armorite. The product is a little t It's two for 20 bucks, and there's an install frame for it. So you don't have to deal with the trying to So let's talk about screen protectors that feel When I first started reviewing these paper I won't lie to you, there are a ton of these products now. Now these matte film protectors were my go-to for the longest time until I discovered that ESR Armorite. But the biggest benefit is if you've taken stylus to an iPad screen, it's going to increase the friction. It makes it feel more Also, if you're a gamer on the iPad, the extra friction from the matte screen protector is going to give you a bit more feedback on your on-screen joysticks. But The first t You are basically installing a giant sticker on a giant piece of glass. The second t Now the downside is that these scratch incredibly easily, and fingerprints are annoying to clean because all the grease gets into the ridges of the screen protector, and so you really have to do a lot of wiping to get your screen clean. Now if you can get over those red flags, my recommend product is the Paper Lake. They've somehow figured out how to make their product feel incredibly smooth on the screen, but the moment you take a stylus to it, it feels If you want one that's incredibly easy to install and perform decently, t Alright, let's talk about the last group. These guys, the removable paper screen protectors. Now these are kind of new products. The idea has been around for a really long time. You've got these ones are magnetic. These there's no adhesive on the inside, and the black strip is just a really weak magnet. So you just line up the tops and bottoms with your iPad, and there you go. You've got a screen protector that you can remove, but then you have to carry it around in t You get to keep the clarity of your screen, and then when you want to, you can have a matte screen protector. Now there are three big downsides. The first one is the screen quality. Again, matte screen protector is going to blow out the quality of your screen. The second t And the third thing deals with the adhesive is that over time, food, dust, debris, they're going to start acc All right, let's talk about keyboard cases. If you want to know what I t For t Now, I'll be honest with you, when I first started reviewing all these keyboards, they were terrible. They had Bluetooth 5, but not 3. I don't know if . . But Bridge's latest one, the Air Max Plus, t When it comes to keyboards for the iPad, t Now, if you're familiar with the basic iPad's keyboard and case, Apple took the design idea from the Combo Touch because it's a two-part case, so if you don't need the keyboard, you just take it off. Now, I will show you t So, with this product, there's three things I First is that it adds a bit more protection to my iPad. The second is the viewing angles. There's an infinite amount of them. And t So, you can use an iPad with a case when you want, and then when you want a keyboard with it, you just stick it on. It uses the smart connector on the back of an iPad, The runner up to this product, as well as the thing that actually makes it look Finally, moved away from trying to shove your iPad into a tiny freaking T 3 specifically, w So, is the Apple Pencil Pro going to be worth getting? For the majority of the users, I would say probably not, especially when you consider the price that Apple's asking for it. If you want to see me do a deep dive on that product, check out the card. When it comes to styluses for the iPad, the majority of us don't need the Apple Pencil to don't need the Apple Pencil Pro. The USB-C version of the Apple Pencil is probably going to be fine, but the problem is that t Out of the dozen and a half styluses I've tested, t It's the ESR Digital Pencil Pro. Now, t First, there's a capacitive tip, w Now, another reason why t Most they attach, but they do not charge. Now, t It's missing pressure sensitivity, double tap, and all the other new features in the Apple Pencil Pro, but t With t And another benefit with t And if you don't want to charge it at the top of your iPad, there's another charge stick you can use. Now, t I've been having trouble finding it, so if you need an alternative, check out t I bought these generic random Amazon brands are surprisingly really good. These they charge via USB-C, not through the iPad, though they do attach to the iPad. They come with three spare tips, a charging cable. Some of them come with a cap. Don't know why I'd want t It doesn't come with the double tap, doesn't come with the pressure sensitive or any of the new stuff that's in the Apple Pencil Pro. The tips on these random Amazon brands are a little sharper than the Apple ones, w But it's 20 bucks. You can buy almost 10 of these for the price of an Apple Pencil Pro, I t Am I mapping right? So, iPads generally come with a 20 watt charger, but let's be honest, that's like a one drink minim It's technically enough to get you and your iPad started, but if you really want to enjoy yourself, you're going to need more. The funny t So the figure out what the best one is, I tested a ton. Go with ankerGAN Prime 735. If you're using one of the C ports, it's providing you 67 watts of charging. If you use both C ports, it's 45 and 20. But the silly t But with that's just handy. Now, t If you want a budget option, go with this was my n It's the Voltney Revo 65. This thing is n T I think this is only So a good deal. It does amazing in my solo charging test, but if I fill every hole in t I don't know why. You've been warned. You get what you pay for. So what happens if you have to charge your iPad if you're not near a outlet? Well, you use a battery bank and I've got a bunch of those as well. Now I've been going on a deep dive on battery banks lately. I'll be honest with you, I didn't realize how terrible these products are. There's only a handful that are actually good. The majority of them are just downright terrible. So that means t But the best one in t Now when I'm out in a boat and I'm trying to get the most out of my iPad, running out of battery power is annoying. Now to take it one step further, I probably only plan for about an hour ahead. And so by the time I figure out that my iPad is dead and I need a spare battery bank for it, it's too late to charge the battery bank because they charge so damn slowly. But with t I t So just having that flexibility with t At a full charge, t But the biggest problem with t It is really expensive. Now if you need somet It's 33% cheaper, but it also performs 33% slower. Now those are two options that I would recommend for anybody, specifically for the iPad. I would go with t It's another anchor product. But the beauty about t So that's a good deal. That's one less the maxim So it's going to charge your 35 watts iPad. No problem. T Now given that this thing is a plugable power bank, this thing is ready to go all the time and exactly Had a Mickey in the back of We've talked about power. Let's talk about getting the most out of your actual iPad by expending its functionality using a USB-C hub. Now out of the buttload of hubs I've tested, the best one is going to be the standard feature for t Now the average hub usually has two USB-A ports, but only one USB-C port and then one USB-C port is only used for charging, w T Other products have shorter cables and so you end up having t Goal. Dongle. Hang dongle. This product has seven ports and when compared to other 7-1 hubs, there's no ethernet ports, but At $45, t But if you're looking for the best cheap option, get t It's $20. There's three USB-A ports. You get amazing performance through them. My biggest issue is the card reader. They are incredibly slow, So if you're creative, don't get an actual card reader. Hey, did And since he's a Mauser, he's an expert on mice. So what are the best mice for the iPad? Now when it comes to computer mice, I live by the same mantra I do with my underwear. I'll get into it. For t You get the best ergonomic mice and then the best normal mice. Now the best ergonomic mouse for my collection is the Logitech MX Master Advanced. I've got very average sized hands and the finish on t Now the best t It can actually connect to three different devices via Bluetooth, w You can also do the dongle if you really wanted to, but with Bluetooth, why would you? I've used so many different mice in the last few months that I cannot use anyt And the same goes for T It is really expensive, but it works incredibly well. My collection of mice sits around six right now and t So when it comes to computer mouse and underwear, my mantra is that if something is touching me So when it comes to underwear, that just means I've got really nice underwear. I'm not going to tell you what I have, but they're just nice. Same mantra with the mouses. If you found it useful, again, get your stuff through my links. I'm a reviewer, not an influencer.
