The 20 Best Apple iPad Accessories to Make Your Tablet Even Better

The Logitech Combo Touch will transform your iPad into a powerful laptop replacement thanks to its nicely spaced backlit keys, built-in trackpad and Smart Connector, and a handy Apple Pencil holder. We also like the adjustable kickstand for different viewing angles.

Logitech also offers a Combo Touch variant for the 11- and 12.9-inch iPad Pro, as well as the iPad Air.

The aluminum Type-C Mobile Pro Hub by Satechi is an essential iPad Pro accessory because it broadens the tablet’s connectivity with a standard audio jack, a 4K-compatible HDMI, a full USB port, and a USB-C connector.

Satechi offers the gadget in iPad Pro-matching silver or space gray color options. The accessory is compatible with all iPad versions that have USB-C ports.

The Twelve South BookBook isn’t your typical iPad case, making your tablet look like a vintage hardcover book. The cover is made of genuine full-grain leather, so it’s as luxurious as it is classy. It has a soft interior with a pocket for accessories. Twelve South has a BookBook for every iPad iteration, including the latest Mini.

If you’re using a first-generation Apple Pencil with your iPad, this Belkin carrying case makes storing and protecting it easy. It also accommodates the Pencil’s accessories (an additional tip, a spare cap, and a charging adapter). The magnetically sealed cover slides open to reveal the fabric-lined interior.

Apple’s Magic Keyboard transforms the iPad Pro into a mini touchscreen laptop. The accessory has backlit keys, a precise trackpad, and a built-in USB-C port for charging. We love the floating design that holds the iPad up so you can tilt the screen for different viewing angles.

The Magic Keyboard is compatible with all 11-inch iPad Pro iterations and the iPad Air. A version for the range-topping 12.9-inch iPad Pro is also available.

The affordable Logitech Pop wireless mouse is an ideal companion for the iPad if you prefer to click instead of tap. It works on any surface — helpful when you’re traveling. And the compact design boasts quiet buttons and a precise scrolling wheel. The Pop can run for up to two years before you need to swap out its AA batteries.

The Logitech Crayon is a more affordable alternative to the Apple Pencil with a sleek design, instant connectivity, and a handy USB-C connector for charging. We like the thin, rounded rectangular profile, which makes it easy to hold and stash in a bag or tech pouch.

Other key features of the Crayon include palm rejection tech (so you can rest your hand on the screen while you write without messing up what you’re doing), a built-in power button, up to 7 hours of battery life, and a power-level indicator.

The Ugreen Nexode Series wall charger is a more versatile, incredibly compact alternative to the one that comes with your iPad. It can simultaneously fast-charge your tablet alongside your iPhone or another smartphone.

The sleek gadget utilizes GaN (gallium nitride) tech, which helps keep it cooler than traditional chargers without throttling the power.

This sleek Satechi stand is the best for any USB-C-equipped iPad. The aluminum accessory is surprisingly compact yet transforms your slate into a legit desktop workstation, adding several essential wired inputs like USB-A and HDMI ports, an audio jack, and a pair of card readers.

The USB-C hub supports fast charging with a maximum output of 60 watts. It’s compatible with the 10th-generation iPad, the iPad Air, the iPad Mini, and the iPad Pro.

The House of Marley Rewind is one of the best USB-C cables because it’s eco-friendly, durable, and stylish. Its fabric cable resists tangling and is made from reclaimed cotton and hemp and recycled plastics, while its housings are sustainably sourced natural wood that makes regular cables look generic in comparison.

At 10 feet, the Rewind is longer and more versatile than a standard iPad cable. A USB-C-to-Lightning version of the accessory for entry-level iPads is also available.

The Anker 537 is equal parts sleek and capable. It can rapidly charge your iPad and other gadgets via a pair of fast USB-C ports. (It has a USB-A connector, too.) With its capacity of 24,000 mAh, the 537 will fully charge a tablet and have plenty of juice left over for other devices.

This Peak Design pouch has enough pockets and compartments for storing your tablet’s charger and cables, the Apple Pencil, a USB-C hub, and other small gadgets. It’s the best overall in our testing.

Apple’s own Smart Cover is a minimalist yet convenient accessory that will protect the iPad and serve as a viewing or typing stand. It attaches magnetically to the left side of the slate and power up its Retina display when you flip it open.

SanDisk’s flash drive has USB-C and Lightning connectors, so it’s compatible with any iPad model. It allows you to seamlessly transfer photos, videos, and other files between multiple devices.

Thanks to an intuitive companion app, it can also automatically back up photos and videos from an iPhone or an iPad. (If you need more than 64GB, order the flash drive with up to 256GB of storage.)

This beautiful iPad stand by Grovemade is crafted in the United States of natural wood (maple or walnut), stainless steel, felt, and cork. It feels as amazing as it looks. The Wood is also incredibly versatile. It can hold any iPad model in portrait or landscape mode, and it has a clever cord-management setup with a pass-through slot in the back to keep them tidy.

With the Apple W1 headphone chip on board, the affordable Beats Flex will pair just as seamlessly with an iPad as AirPods — but they’re less than half the price. The Flex earbuds have a comfy fit, responsive buttons, up to 12 hours of battery life, and a built-in USB-C connector for charging.

This screen cleaner will keep you iPad’s display, and any other gadget you own, spotless. The nontoxic cleaner is a favorite of ours and approved for use in Apple stores.

The cleaning kit includes a 0.3-ounce cleaner bottle that’s a good size for throwing in a backpack, as well as a bigger container with a 3.4-ounce capacity. You also get three washable microfiber cloths.

The OtterBox Defender Series is the best rugged case for any iPad. It has a soft interior, a tough exterior, and a display cover that doubles as a viewing stand.

Port covers keep dust and lint away, and a transparent film covers the tablet’s display and protect it from scratches. In addition to the latest iPad and its predecessor, the case is also available for the newest 10.5-inch iPad, the iPad Pro, the iPad Air, and the iPad Mini.

The Amplify glass screen protector is a worthy investment for owners of the latest iPad Air. In addition to offering excellent protection against scratches, it has proprietary antimicrobial tech, which is registered with the EPA.

Thankfully, the Amplify is case-friendly, fitting under a cover, as well as compatible with the Apple Pencil. Variants of it for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, the 10.2-inch iPad, the 10.9-inch iPad, and the latest iPad Mini are also available.
