Top iPad Accessories You Don’t Want to Miss 2024!

**The Importance of Cleaning and Protecting Your iPad Pro**

As beautiful as the display on your new iPad Pro is, it's unfortunately also a fingerprint magnet, especially when the light hits it correctly. This can make it almost unwatchable and unseeable. To avoid this issue, I highly recommend getting yourself a nice cleaning kit for your device.

I personally use the PaperLike cleaning kit, which I find to be compact and all-in-one. The spray bottle wrapped around the microfiber cloth itself makes it easy to clean my iPad Pro in just a few swipes. The best part is that this kit has held up well over time, even after multiple uses. In fact, I've had mine for over a year now and it still looks like new.

I also want to talk about the importance of using good quality headphones when using your iPad Pro on the go. If you're going to be using your device in coffee shops or other public places, having a good pair of noise-cancelling headphones is essential. My personal recommendation for this purpose is the AirPods Pro Gen 2. They offer great active noise cancellation, transparency mode, and battery life that fits perfectly in any pocket. Plus, they're very affordable at $190 on Amazon, with Prime Day potentially offering even better deals.

However, if you're looking for over-ear headphones instead of earbuds, I highly recommend the Sonos Ace. These headphones offer amazing sound quality, comfort, and features like awareness mode and active noise cancellation that rival those of AirPods Max. They're also very lightweight and easy to wear, making them perfect for long periods of listening.

Finally, when it comes to carrying your iPad Pro with you on the go, I recommend using a premium carrying case. My personal favorite is from Waterfield, which offers high-quality leather accessories for Apple devices. Specifically, I use their compact sleeve case that fits my iPad Pro perfectly, along with my Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil Pro (although those are quite pricey at $500). The case has a magnetic closing latch to keep your device safe, and the interior is lined with microfiber cloth for added protection.

In terms of desk setups and portable solutions, I've recently started using a magnetic charging stand with a wireless keyboard from Satti. For under $200, this setup provides an excellent way to use my iPad Pro on the go while still being able to type and access my favorite apps. And if you're looking for other accessories that can complement your iPad Pro, I'd be happy to recommend some of my personal favorites in a future video.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enso everybody here we have an iPad and iPad Pro accessory video I'm going to be going over all of my favorite accessories that I think are essential to anybody that's using their iPad whether it is as a supplemental content consumption device or if you're using it like myself as your main and only computer so without further Ado let's talk about my favorite accessories everything will be linked down in order in the description below so let's get right into it so let's start off with what the iPad is sitting on right now which is kuku's X 33 magnetic wireless charging iPad stand in Kuku this is one of the first companies that made if not the only company that's currently making a tablet that's actually able to charge your iPad with the pin connectors now they make this for pretty much any iPad that has those three pin connectors on the rear of it I will say that they have one model for the M4 iPad Pro and then the other model that works with all the older iPad Pros as well as the iPad Airs and the M2 iPad Airs so this is one of my favorite recommendations because it's Unique and it solves two main purposes which is to be a magnetic stand to put your iPad more at eye level it also has a bunch of different viewing angles you can move it all the way down all the way up tilted 360° or 180 if you want to flip it the other way but most importantly it does support up to 18 wat pass through charging through the three pin connectors on the magnetic plate itself freeing up the actual Thunderbolt Port that's on your iPad Pro for data transfer or any other sort of USBC dongle so this one is definitely my favorite iPad accessory that is in the magic keyboard but outside of that the absolute best accessory to recommend to anybody that has an iPad that has the three pin connectors on the rear so next up I want to bring up an accessory that I use every single day for my workflow and that has to be an external SSD by Lexar now we all know that the biggest price gouge when it comes to Apple accessories is when you upgrade the storage internally and it's great to have internal storage from time to time but if you want to save the most amount of money definitely get yourself a baseline version of any of these products and then get yourself an external SSD like lexar's SSD which comes in I believe a 1 TB 2 TB which is the one that I have and 4 TB variants it is ultra slim it fits the Alo aesthetic made out of aluminum stays cool to the touch the entire time and I use it as my main SSD when offloading footage from my iPhone or importing footage from my iPhone to my iPad Pro to then use Luma fusion and work off of that SSD this will work of course with anything that has a USBC Port like I use it in conjunction with my iPhone to be able to record footage on my iPhone that offloaded to the SSD and then import it to the iPad so get yourself a reliable and quality SSD I believe the 2 tab is about $180 but it supports the fastest speeds possible through the Thunderbolt port of the iPad Pro and the next one in that same light is going to be a USBC dongle now we live in a great world where every single iPad has USBC so all these dongles will work at varying transfer speeds but they will all work for your device so the uspc one I'm going to recommend is a 10in one by dock case and what I like about this is that it's got a couple of tricks up its sleeve first and foremost it is a 10in one so it has all the different I/O that you would ever need for any single product so you have a micro SD and an SD card slot usba usba 3.2 Gen 2 Port you have a USBC 3 3.2 Gen 2 Port you also have a USBC Port that supports up to 100 WS of power pass through you also have an HDMI port that supports up to ak30 you have a display port which supports up to 4K 120 you have an additional usba a regular port and then lastly you have a 10 gbit ethernet port that can be used to hardwire in and what's nice about this is that yes it has all those different IO ports that kind of diversify but also the aesthetic is great it has this translucent front so you can see everything that's going on inside of the device and secondly it has a 1 in x 1 in LCD display that lets you see exactly what's going on in real time it's a kind of like a diagnostic panel so you get to see which monitors you're connected to you get to see how much transfer speed is happening you get to see how fast your internet is you can see which ports are taken up and which ones are empty so I love getting this little diagnostic panel that is easy to use and can give you all the real live data from what you're connected to your device and I to stay in that connectivity realm I do want to recommend a cable that I've been using for all of my devices and that's going to be the flex cable by rayon it's a 6 in1 Flex cable and what I like about this is that it pretty much covers everything that you would need from a connectivity standpoint so I know that we're kind of getting to the point now where we are USBC all things but there's still that off chance that you might need to have a lightning port or maybe or maybe micro USB alongside that USBC and usba a so the magic Flex cable does exactly that it's got two ends to it the one that has a USBC plug and then it is covered by USB a plug so you have two different forms of plugging in right there and then on the other side you have a USBC that also turns into a lightning cable that also turns into a micro USB so you have everything that you would need out of a single cable and what I like about it is that it does support 100 watt power pass through it is a data cable still it supports up to 480 MVPs so it's not the fastest but it can help you from a data transfer standpoint in a pickle and then lastly it is a flat and rugged cable meaning it'll never tangle and it'll last you for years and years to come so that one's always in my bag no matter where I go cuz I know that I have a reliable cable that I can use with any of my devices whether it is for data transfer or charging another one I want to throw in here if you are a gamer if you like to use your iPad on the go as a dummy monitor I recommend getting yourself an HDMI capture card it's about $20 depending on which one buying it it could be even cheaper now with prime day but this is one that I've been recommending for years now and basically what allows you to do is with the correct application I use an application called Orion to you put on the iPad you can turn your iPad display into a dummy display so be able to receive HDMI in meaning that you can use this with your Xbox your PlayStation your switch your computer if you want to or any other device that gives you an HDMI out because it'll turn your iPad into that dummy display now technically this HDMI capture card supports up the 4K 60 but the application and the game need to also support that so your experience may vary but I use this to play NCA to play Madden to play 2K directly from my Xbox onto my iPad and I have a whole video detailing how to do that if you guys want to check it out but for a $20 little piece of tech to turn your display which is probably the best mobile display on the planet into a gaming monitor is something that I highly recommend for everybody so now when it comes to charging I have two solutions on me most times and they're both pretty good travel Solutions but the first one is going to be nomad's 65 wat power brick and what I like about this is that yes it is a normal Power Bri break first and foremost it supports 65 Watts on one single USBC Port then you can actually do two dual USBC ports and to get 45 watts and then 18 Watts on the bottom one so you can fast charge not only your iPad Pro but also let's say your iPhone 16 Pro Max via USBC but then also it does have an Apple Watch Puck charger on the top of it that supports fast charging for your Apple watch as well so this kind of covers all of your bases in a nice compact package that plugs directly into the wall so this one is kind of like my wall charger that does a little bit of everything and I'm able to charge everything quickly in a small little package and then secondly if you want a product that's more on the go like a battery Bank this one by ankor is one of my favorite ones and it is their three inone charger and what I like about this is that it can charge your iPad Pro pretty much at almost full speed because it does support up to 30 W fast charging but it also has a second USBC out so you can technically plug in your iPad charge it at 18 watts and then get a trickle charge onto your iPhone if you want to and it does have a 10,000 Mah hour battery built into here to be able to handle all that charging and then secondly it also has an Apple Watch charging pug on there that supports with the 5 wats of Apple watch charging so you can charge your iPad at 30 WTS and your Apple watch at the full 5 Watts because technically this can push out up to 35 WTS fully when combined correctly so this one by Anker a 10,000 mAh battery with a beautiful little display on there to let you know how much battery you have on a percentage basis which I like much better than like the three or four dots that other companies do so this one by anchor is something that I recommend for anybody to have in your everyday carry and next up I want to talk about the display and how to make sure it stays clean I personally use a paper like screen protector with everything I do recommend getting a screen protector if that's something that you want to do I'll leave paper Likes down below if you want to check it out but more importantly if you are't a screen protector type of person then I do suggest getting yourself some sort of spray and polishing cloth in order to make sure that those fingerprints kind of stay clear of the display because as beautiful as this display is especially with the M4 iPad Pro and that tandem OLED and all that beautiful stuff it is a fingerprint magnet especially if the light hits it correctly it's almost unwatchable and unseeable so definitely get yourself a nice cleaning kit and the one that I have here is also by paperlike what I like about this is that it's Compact and it's an all-in-one so I only have to carry this one piece of Kit all have to do is spray with the actual spray bottle and then the spray bottle wrapped around it is the microfiber cloth itself so a couple of swipes I'm good to go and then I put it away in it's a little plastic casing and it's one compact package so I've had this one actually for over a year and it still has not gotten so dirty cuz I know a lot of people were asking what happens to the outside of it after a couple of cleans does it get dirty do you need to rewash it and so far after a year of use and I use it at least once a week it's still perfectly fine and now I do want to recommend a couple of Audio Solutions because again if you're using this on the go and you're at a coffee shop you need to make sure you have a good pair of headphones first and foremost airpods Pro Gen 2 there's nothing that can beat it especially at the price Amazon has them for $190 on most days Prime day might be even giving you a better deal compared to what they cost from Apple at $250 if you want something that just works works great it has great active noise cancellation great transparency mode great battery life fits in any pocket it works well to your ecosystem airpods Pro is the way to go but then if you want a pair of over-year headphones the Sonos Ace are my recommendation I love this these are my favorite pair of over-year headphones right now they're very lightweight super super comfortable the awareness mode and the active noise cancellation modes rival that of airpods Max and I could not recommend these more and then lastly I did want to include some sort of carrying case if you are on the go but nothing too crazy and bulky I like to recommend stuff from Waterfield they make some amazing leather and premium accessories for all Apple products from you know large backpacks to carry everything you need to small little compact kind of carrying cases for accessories but this one Falls right in between where it's kind of like a sleeve for your iPad it also fits a 13-in MacBook Air but I use specifically for my iPad Pro with my magic keyboard and my apple pencil it has a magnetic closing latch so you know that your stuff is safe the inside of it is lined with microfiber cloth it's got some nice padding so if you drop this with your iPad in there your iPad is going to be more than fine it's got a front sleeve to carry all those other accessories that I mentioned so this you can either carry by itself and you know be on the go and take it to a coffee shop or it also fits in one of their other messenger bags which I've talked about in the past which I will also link down below if you guys want to check that one out but those are all the accessories that I use all the time with my iPad Pro I did want to avoid talking about the magic keyboard and the apple pencil Pro because together those are almost $500 so it's a little bit cost prohibitive I do use those on a daily basis and I do recommend them if that is in your budget because it does give you a great experience but you do not need the magic keyboard or the apple pencil Pro to get a great experience out of your iPad Pro and that's what I wanted to show off with these accessories you can easily get this magnetic charging stand with a wireless keyboard like from satti and with less than $200 have a great kind of desk setup with your iPad Pro that can also be taken on the go whenever you need to but that'll do it for this video everybody leave a comment down below of some of the accessories you use with your iPad whether it is an iPad Pro an iPad Air an iPad Mini definitely stay tuned because iPad Mini should be coming out in this October event which I'm very very excited about but all these accessories should also work with any of the iPads not just the iPad Pro but that'll do it everybody if you made it to the end of this video leave a little dolphin in the comments down below so I know you made it to the end of this video and if you guys want to watch more videos like this one click on one of these videos right here and until next time I'm Fernando and I'm out of here everybody peaceso everybody here we have an iPad and iPad Pro accessory video I'm going to be going over all of my
