Elevate Your iPad With These 12 iPad Accessories 2023!

**My Favorite iPad Pro Accessories**

As I continue to use my iPad Pro in various settings, from working on desk setups to taking it on the go, I've found that having the right accessories can make all the difference. In this article, I'll be sharing some of my favorite iPad Pro accessories that have made a significant impact on my productivity and overall user experience.

**RAV Power Portable Battery Pack**

One accessory that I absolutely love is the RAV Power portable battery pack. This compact powerhouse is perfect for topping up my iPad Pro's battery when I'm out and about, and it's incredibly fast – I can charge my device to 80% in just under an hour! The form factor is also a major plus – it fits snugly into a side cup holder or backpack pocket, making it easy to toss into my bag or purse. I've found that this battery pack has been a lifesaver on long trips or when I'm away from a power source for extended periods.

**AirPods Pro 2**

If you're in the market for wireless earbuds that are both stylish and functional, look no further than the AirPods Pro 2. These earbuds offer incredible sound quality, active noise cancellation, and seamless integration with my iPad Pro. The transparency mode is also a game-changer – I can hear my surroundings while still enjoying clear audio. The find my network feature is another plus, as it allows me to quickly locate my AirPods if they get lost.

**Samsung T7 External SSD**

For storing large files and transferring data between devices, I rely on the Samsung T7 external SSD. This sleek and compact device offers incredibly fast transfer speeds of up to 10 GB per second, making it perfect for offloading big file formats or working with high-resolution videos. At 512GB, it's also a great option for storing my iPad Pro files without having to rely on internal storage.

**Moga Controller**

For those who want to take their gaming experience to the next level, I recommend checking out the Moga controller. This stylish and ergonomic controller is designed to look like an Xbox controller but feels just as natural in your hands. The fact that it's native to iPad Pro means you can play all your favorite games with ease – whether you're playing NBA 2K or shooting games, this controller has got you covered.

**iPad Pro as a Game Console**

One of the most surprising things about the iPad Pro is its ability to transform into a full-fledged game console. With native support for Apple Arcade and compatibility with Xbox and PlayStation controllers, I've found that my iPad Pro can handle even the most demanding games with ease. In fact, I recently discovered that you can use your iPad Pro as a dummy monitor for your Nintendo Switch and PlayStation – it's a genius hack that's definitely worth checking out.

**Paperlike Cleaning Kit**

Finally, I want to recommend a practical accessory that's become an essential part of my daily routine: the Paperlike cleaning kit. This compact kit includes everything you need to keep your iPad Pro clean and germ-free, from spray solution to wipes. The fact that it comes in a paper-like case makes it easy to toss into my bag or backpack for on-the-go cleaning.

**Conclusion**

As I continue to use my iPad Pro in various settings, I've found that having the right accessories can make all the difference. From portable battery packs to wireless earbuds and external SSDs, these accessories have helped me stay productive and entertained on the go. Whether you're a student, entrepreneur, or just someone who loves staying connected, I hope this article has provided you with some valuable recommendations for taking your iPad Pro experience to the next level.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enso you may or may not know that I am a big iPad Pro user I call my iPad my main computer because I do pretty much everything that you would want to do on a regular computer for lack of a better term but I do it on my iPad and I absolutely love this thing it started with the 2018 iPad Pro and now I'm currently rocking the 2021 M1 iPad Pro and the 12.9 in size but what I wanted to do in this video is talk about my favorite iPad accessories especially during this back to school time right now because I see more and more people using the iPad Pro especially in an education setting so these accessories will probably help amplify your experience with the iPad Pro overall so without further Ado let's talk about my favorite iPad Pro accessories let's get into it so let's get started with the iPad itself as I mentioned I'm using the M1 iPad Pro the 12.9 in with 128 gigs of storage and no data so it is the Baseline version I decided not to get the M2 iPad Pro just because the hover feature wasn't enough to entice me I played with it for a while and the M1 iPad Pro was more than than enough so if you have an M1 iPad Pro there's no need to go with the M2 unless you really need that spec bump of the M2 processor which really isn't that much to begin with or you need that hover feature but that's my iPad Pro and then what I want to do is talk about the main accessories that are always on my iPad especially when I'm on the go so the first thing you notice on the iPad itself is that I do have this kind of case or maybe 34s of a case if you can see that and this is by a company called Paka this is their new Sandstone white color and basically what this is is a case that still works with your magic keyboard so you see that on the bottom you still have the three pin connectors so you're able to attach to the magic keyboard and still be able to cover the iPad itself this is great because with the magic keyboard you don't get that Rail and side protection so being able to cover up the sides and the railings give you that extra added protection while using the magic keyboard still is great to have and as you can see my apple pencil still sits on there nice and flush connects easily still magnetically attaches and still magnetically charges on the iPad even with the case itself and you can see that I have a paperlike grip on that apple pencil and on the front side of the iPad I do have my paperlike screen protector but first a quick word for my sponsor paperlike was one of the first iPad accessories that I had ever tried the moment that I got my 2018 iPad Pro I knew I'd have to get the screen protector and it never disappointed so now 5 years later paperlike has just released a new version 2.1 or their Swiss paperlike the Swiss paper like still uses the Nano dot layer but is now spread more evenly across the surface of that screen protector in order to further minimize refractions which was the main complaint that I would hear so that's been totally fixed this also allows for a crispier and more clear visual experience it still has that amazing paperlike feel that we've grown to love but now they are offering even better overall visibility and Clarity during use it seems like they've perfected the iPad screen protector especially for those who love to use their apple pencil so paperlike is currently celebrating the back to school season so until September 17th paper like is going to add the digital Pro planner for free to any hardware purchase so even if you buy the pencil grips which will touch on in a little bit you will still get the pro planer 100% free which is normally $12.99 they're also giving us a good goodie bundle which gives you free stickers and inserts to go along with that digital planner so if you or someone you know is planning on using their iPad for school the Swiss paper like is an absolute must if you want to support the channel and support a great brand like paperlike click the link down below to find out more thanks to paper like for partnering up with 9o5 Mac now let's get back to these iPad accessories I just thought having paperlike as a sponsor and a partner for this video is absolutely perfect because I do use it on a daily basis it goes on every single iPad that I use so I did want to bring them into this as a musthave accessory for the iPad Pro or any iPad for that matter but to continue with the iPad on the back of the actual Paka case you might notice that there's another pin Matrix kind of in the center back and that is for the actual stand that I have behind me so this stand is by Paka this is my next accessory for you guys it is a wireless charging stand for your iPad and right now they have it for a few variants they have it for the iPad Mini they have it for the iPad Pro and the 11 and 12.9 and they also have it for the iPad Air four and five generation and basically what it does is this case has a USBC plug that goes Direct into the iPad and then you can connect it with this pin connector to wirelessly charge your iPad at around 12 to 15 wats of speed it kind of gives you this little uh kind of glimpse into the future of what the iPad could bring you and the types of conveniencies that you get with wireless charging and with a magnetic attachment like ma safe so if Apple does bring Mac safe over the iPad I think it's going to be a welcome addition because right now there are some pros and cons with this yes it looks cool yes it's very convenient but if you want to plug in USB C Hub you kind of either have to unplug this thing kind of uncomfortably or you just take off the whole case itself so so overall I do love the product but again if Apple brought this natively it would just be a win overall and the next accessory that I'm going to mention is the magic keyboard because the magic keyboard even though it is probably the most expensive accessory that I've ever purchased for a tech item it is my favorite accessory by far the magic keyboard completely transforms your relationship with the iPad but then the magic keyboard came with a trackpad and that cool floating design and all the double hinges and the ability to charge with another USBC port in the hinge itself the magic keyboard again Chang the landscape of what the iPad was and it turned the iPad from a tablet from a handwriting tool from a digital note taking tool to now a full-on laptop replacement in my opinion that is the way that I use my iPad probably 95% of the time I either use it on the stand on my desk or when I'm on the go or even at my desk itself I use the magic keyboard to do pretty much everything so when I'm editing videos editing thumbnails you know going on YouTube whatever the case may be I have the magic keyboard on me for most of the time but now if you're somebody that just wants to use your iPad in that tablet mode because again the iPad was first created to be a tablet right it's made to be used with an apple pencil it's made to be used as a touch first interface with your finger so it's made to be used as a Content consumption machine and handwriting machine so if you do want just a folio case that is very sturdy very quality I do recommend paper like's new charcoal folio case which I absolutely love it has a nice microfiber lining on the inside it has that trifold so you're able to then kind of prop it back and have it stand up on its own and then also has a magnetic clasp that goes around your apple pencil and for those people that are asking does the case work with this Paka kind of case cover and kind of goes twofold so you do not need to remove your iPad from the actual case itself to actually use the paper like folio case so if you guys want to do that and kind of be protected from all sides and all angles this is a nice little setup because not only can you use it on the go with that folio case but then when you are at your desk and you maybe you have that wireless charger behind you you can just take it off the actual case to make sure that you're charging immediately so those are the two cases that I recommend or the two kind of on the go cases right you have your magic keyboard which yes I know it's very expensive at $350 even to this day even though Amazon has them on sale usually for 300 or 250 depending on which one you get and what size you want but then also you have the folio case which is a great little add-on and again it just feels very premium in the hand and the the way that they made the actual material is very quality and now let's talk about some adapters and some USBC dongle the first one I mention is by satti or satki however you guys want to say it and this is a 6 in one it has pretty much everything that you would need it has an HDMI it has a SD and mini SD card slot it's got power pass through of course with USBC it's got an auxiliary Jack for 3.5 mm and as USB a port for some data pass through as well this is a great on the-go solution you just slap it onto the iPad itself now again this is where the Paka case kind of shows its faults you do have to remove the whole case to be able to use this one so again if you do not rock the Paka case it is a no-brainer to get something small like that because it's on the go you keep it in your bag if you need to kind of give a presentation with an HDMI port or an HDMI cable it's very easy to use and if you want something a little bit more robust or maybe if you plan on using your iPad as your desk setup computer which is something that I did in the past and still currently do to an extent this Hub and stand is by called pluggable so this is an actual iPad stand that's what it looks like but then on the bottom you see that you actually have an actual USB C Hub to use which is great you have your USBC Port that goes directly to the host then you have an SD and micro SD card slot you have another Power pass through for USBC you have an HDMI port 2.1 you have two usba a ports and then you have a 3.5 mm headphone jack and what I like about this is this the amount of actual angles you're able to use your iPad in I did a whole desk setup video with the iPad to really showcase how powerful this is if you do have an M1 iPad Pro if you're connected to an actual keyboard you're able to use extended monitor support and also use this as a notetaking device so it kind of let you use your iPad how it's intended to be used but then when you plug it into a monitor at the same time you do have a computer like situation that you're able to use as well so being able to combine that with iPad OS 16 or iPad OS 17 with the right iPad is a very powerful setup so these are just two options that I did want to show everybody and I do want to say that everything that I mentioned in this video will be linked down in the description below for you guys to check out if you guys do want to see one of these things action if you want to get one for yourself by all means go for it I do want to bring up some other auxiliary items so like I mentioned I do have an apple pencil 2o but you know it's been about 5 years since Apple released it in the 20 alongside the 2018 iPad Pro and for the most part it's remained totally unchanged physically it's the exact same Apple still sells it for I believe $120 retail price which is absolutely absurd but throughout this time it's given companies the ability to kind of catch up from a feature standpoint so I do want to recommend a more budget friendly apple pencil alternative Which is less than $40 and is the EIP pencil Pro I absolutely love that apple pencil alternative because it still charges magnetically has tilt sensitivity pressure sensitivity charges even magnetically on the iPad Pro Connects via Bluetooth works with pretty much any iPad for that matter so it doesn't need to be an iPad Pro or an iPad that magnetically charges you can use it with any iPad which is great to have and it does come with a little charging cradle as every single feature that apple pencil 2 has except for the double tap shortcut which is something that I honestly never ever use and then when it comes to actually powering up the iPad there's a couple ways that I kind of go about it but for this one I'm going to stick with a small power brake by satti this is a 30 watt Breck because the iPad can only really Max charge at 33 watts and the one that comes in the Box itself is usually a 20 or 30 WT brick so this satachi one is more than enough it is a USBC charger so bring that on the go because it's so tiny and then if you need a portable battery the one I have here by RAV power is great because it does give you a USB CPD a USB aast charger but then also gives you an actual three-prong out that you're able to plug any wattage into so if you have a 100 watt brick you can plug it in in there yes it's going to drain the battery fairly quickly but you're able to charge at extreme speeds which is great to have I don't know if this one is in stock anymore I will link it below and if not I'll link some other Alternatives because there are some other ones out there that I would recommend I love this RAV power one because of the form factor it fits kind of like on a side cup holder of your backpack because it is the size of literally like a flask or something like that but that's the one by RAV power and that is my portable kind of battery pack solution for the iPad Pro because it's big enough and strong enough to power the iPad Pro but not so big and robust that it's annoying to bring around and then four more items to round everything off for audio airpods Pro 2 very simple to recommend it's the best bang for a buck audio experience you can get if you are in the Apple ecosystem active noise cancellation transparency mode the find my network which I use a ton I always throw these by accident in my dirty clothes hamper and then end up getting them before they go into the wash so that's always great to have and then when it comes to an actual external SSD I'm a big believer in buying less internal SSD just because it's so expensive from Apple so then getting an external one that's maybe 512 or a terabyte I have the Samsung t7 which is great has extremely fast transfer speeds of about 10 GB per second I use it to kind of offload big file formats or big files that I use for these videos like this because again 128 gigs does not go that far especially in 2023 and then of course we do have to mention a controller this one is by a company called Moga it looks exactly like an Xbox controller so if you guys are used to that you can do that but also if you guys do have an Xbox or Playstation you know the iPad now fully supports those two natively so if you want to jump into Apple arcade play a little NBA 2k play some shooting games play whatever the case may be that is just another thing that iPad Pro can do cuz not only is it your computer is it your tablet is it your digital notaker but it can be your game console of choice especially if you guys want to watch this video where I was able to turn my iPad Pro into an actual dummy monitor for my Nintendo switch and for my PlayStation definitely watch that video cuz it's an awesome one and then lastly we got to include some sort of cleaning solution and this one I have with me on every single backpack I actually have like three of these I have one in the car one in my backpack and one in my desk and is a paperlike cleaning kit because it's an all-in-one you have the spray solution inside the actual cleaning kind of casing itself so you just spray and wipe with the case as well very self-explanatory so those are some of the iPad accessories that I recommend I wanted to go through these kind of quickly so I can recommend as many of these products as possible because these will be great to use on desk setups it'll be great to use on the go they'll be great to use in the classroom setting so if you guys are on the more budget side go for the EIP pencil go for a cheaper magic keyboard alternative but if you guys do want to go and get the best of the best the magic keyboard is still there for you this B a kind of wireless charging situation is there for you so all things considered these are great accessories for you to get started with your iPad Pro or even if you're an iPad Pro fish not like I am maybe these are some accessories that you've never heard of but that's going to do for this video Everybody let me know what you guys think about this new backdrop working on the new studio right now trying to see exactly how I want to kind of film things moving forward but I'm liking this so far but leave a comment down below of maybe an accessory that I missed an accessory that you would recommend or maybe an accessory that you would want out of here and maybe just maybe we'll do a giveaway in the future but that's going to do it everybody if you made it to the end leave little

iPad Pro because it's big enough and strong enough to power the iPad Pro but not so big and robust that it's annoying to bring around and then four more items to round everything off for audio airpods Pro 2 very simple to recommend it's the best bang for a buck audio experience you can get if you are in the Apple ecosystem active noise cancellation transparency mode the find my network which I use a ton I always throw these by accident in my dirty clothes hamper and then end up getting them before they go into the wash so that's always great to have and then when it comes to an actual external SSD I'm a big believer in buying less internal SSD just because it's so expensive from Apple so then getting an external one that's maybe 512 or a terabyte I have the Samsung t7 which is great has extremely fast transfer speeds of about 10 GB per second I use it to kind of offload big file formats or big files that I use for these videos like this because again 128 gigs does not go that far especially in 2023 and then of course we do have to mention a controller this one is by a company called Moga it looks exactly like an Xbox controller so if you guys are used to that you can do that but also if you guys do have an Xbox or Playstation you know the iPad now fully supports those two natively so if you want to jump into Apple arcade play a little NBA 2k play some shooting games play whatever the case may be that is just another thing that iPad Pro can do cuz not only is it your computer is it your tablet is it your digital notaker but it can be your game console of choice especially if you guys want to watch this video where I was able to turn my iPad Pro into an actual dummy monitor for my Nintendo switch and for my PlayStation definitely watch that video cuz it's an awesome one and then lastly we got to include some sort of cleaning solution and this one I have with me on every single backpack I actually have like three of these I have one in the car one in my backpack and one in my desk and is a paperlike cleaning kit because it's an all-in-one you have the spray solution inside the actual cleaning kind of casing itself so you just spray and wipe with the case as well very self-explanatory so those are some of the iPad accessories that I recommend I wanted to go through these kind of quickly so I can recommend as many of these products as possible because these will be great to use on desk setups it'll be great to use on the go they'll be great to use in the classroom setting so if you guys are on the more budget side go for the EIP pencil go for a cheaper magic keyboard alternative but if you guys do want to go and get the best of the best the magic keyboard is still there for you this B a kind of wireless charging situation is there for you so all things considered these are great accessories for you to get started with your iPad Pro or even if you're an iPad Pro fish not like I am maybe these are some accessories that you've never heard of but that's going to do for this video Everybody let me know what you guys think about this new backdrop working on the new studio right now trying to see exactly how I want to kind of film things moving forward but I'm liking this so far but leave a comment down below of maybe an accessory that I missed an accessory that you would recommend or maybe an accessory that you would want out
