The Comprehensive iPad Accessories Thread

[MikhailT]

The purpose of this thread to be a central place for all type of accessories for iPad. It’ll make it easy for people to find what they are looking including things that they never thought to look for. I would love some support from everybody here by posting the info with a pic, link, price and reviews (once it is out of course).

What comes already in every iPad order are: a dock to usb connector and a USB to power outlet adapter. There's an extended 6' USB to power adapter available for sale to use as a second charger, for home or work.

Muzetto (Personal Size): $179
http://www.sfbags.com/products/muzetto/muzetto.htm


---------------------------------------------------------
The iPad on its own will very nicely fit into our Personal Size Muzetto. The iPad in our Suede Jacket will also fit well into the Personal Size. If you have a slightly larger case around your iPad then I would suggest the new slightly larger 10" Portable size Muzetto. Here's what I suggest for each of the cases that we make:

iPad naked - Personal Muzetto
iPad Suede Jacket - Personal Muzetto
iPad Slip Case - Personal or 10" Portable
iPad Smart Case - 10" Portable Muzetto
iPad Ultimate SleeveCase - 10" Portable Muzetto

The new 10" Portable Muzetto is slightly larger than the Personal size and will still have a very compact feel. The Shoulder Strap will have the same connection as the Personal size... vs. the D-ring version of the larger 13" Laptop size.

[Sketh]

Wow, fancy fancy.

Thanks for the thread, now I have to blow some cash on a case for sure.

And I blame YOU.

 

[pvmacguy]

Thanks for this thread! One of the actually useful ones that have been posted! Know some stuff I'm getting for mine.

 

[tys]

I really hope Griffin will do a scaled-up Elan Form case for it. Just a nice leather backing and some protective plastic around the edges and corners.

 

[yoppie]

Thanks for putting this thread together. Very convenient.

 

[anthonymoody]

Many thanks for this great thread! Loving the Ristretto for iPad due to its very light weight, only 11 oz...

 

[melman101]

I love the Ristretto, however, I don't love the price . Maybe one day, but my dollars right now are going to Jobs and company.

 

[sushi]

OP, thanks for the thread.

I love the Ristretto, however, I don't love the price .

Agree x 2.

 

[anthonymoody]

Yeah, true they're not giving the thing away to put it mildly!

 

[roland.g]

The Scosche Kickback is the only case/stand combo other than Apples, and I don't understand from the iLounge pics how it can support landscape and portrait standing as the pics don't show any rotating disc. Of course there is no info on their website, and besides all that it's a bit to industro-fugly.

Marware makes great stuff and shows an iPad and Kindle section for cases and sleeves but their site appears to be undergoing a transformation and that portion is currently down.

marware.com no longer works and their main site has been replaced by http://staging.marware.com/
all the top headers reveal selections below except for the iPad & Kindle section.

I have their Sportfolio Deluxe Black for the MacBook which is a real nice case/sleeve hybrid that give you some storage room but in a nice compact form.
Not as big as it looks.

[tys]

Someone REALLY needs to make a case that'll make your ipad look like an Etch-a-Sketch! There's already at least one Etch a Sketch app.

 

[Aegelward]

Oh, http://foofshop.com/ Are going to bring some iPad bags out in late February

 

[TraceyS/FL]

I figure the Timbuk2 netbook messenger will fit the iPad.

http://www.timbuk2.com/tb2/products/laptop/laptop-messenger-style/freestyle-netbook-messenger

I"m looking for a bag that can hold it and and a book or 2, but not be overly big either.

Here are some pictures of it loaded down - with everything BUT the iPad. I really really love the size of this bag!

 

[vespagirl]

I am digging this thread and thank you for all the info. I get tired of wading through all the hate and negativity towards the iPad pre-release.

 

[MikhailT]

Thanks guys, I updated the thread with more products as well as crediting them to you.

@roland.g, yea the marware site sucks. I found three iPad cases (links in first post) but two of them looks exactly the same. Too many errors on their site. I listed all I can find. As for the Scosche case, I'll update once more info is released, I just added it just in case.

 

[w00tini]

this should be a sticky IMO

great stuff!

 

[wrxdrunkie]

Wow, amazing, so many cool cases to choose from.

 

[roland.g]

BTW, I emailed last week with the folks over at BSE - www.bestskinsever.com

They informed me that they will have a skin for the iPad once it is released. They typically don't design their templates from specs but actually buy product to make a better template.

They are a local company to me here in Colorado. They produce as good or better skins IMO than IS and BGz and usually at a substantially lower price. I have used them on my original iPhone (which I sold in mint condition b/c of the skin) and on my 3G. I mistakenly tried the BodyGuardz for my aluminum MacBook but that was a horrible experience and then used the less expensive BSE on it instead and the application was much much easier and it still looks fantastic and has a better coverage layout. I urge any skin users to try them first.

 

[Nerts]

These are all cases, bags and screen protectors, no actual hardware?

 

[MikhailT]

These are all cases, bags and screen protectors, no actual hardware?

Other than the dock accessories (which is listed under Docks and only Apple stuff has been announced), there has been no hardware stuff announced, just the iPad.

 

[Clix Pix]

Got another item to add to your potential bag list:

Patagonia's Single Shot Bag, which is lightweight and small, just about right to carry an iPad and a couple other items. It is 11" x 8.5" x 3.5" in dimensions, and comes in three colors (Black, Teal, Purple).
