There are thousands of different accessory types on the market. Everything from styluses to screen covers each with dozens of different types and brands to choose from. Particularly for people who aren’t used to gadgets it can be really over whelming. The most common question I get from family members who have just purchased an iPad are which accessories they should invest in first. Here are the three places every iPad owner should start when it comes to accessories.
1. A Case With Stand
There are lots of different case types for iPad owners to choose from but the one you probably want most is a case that doubles as a stand. It’s good to have the protection a case provides while also having the versatility of being able to stand it up on a table and watch a movie with friends and family.

2. Headphones with In-Line Controls
Invest in a decent pair of high quality headphones that also feature media controls. It’s great to be able to adjust volume, skip songs and play/pause without having to unlock your iPad and In-Line controls do just that. You can find a pair for less than $45 and it’s worth every penny. If your more interested in style all of the Beats by Dre line now have those controls integrated too.
3. Bluetooth Keyboard
Anyone who intends to do any kind of work on their iPad should in vest in a lightweight Bluetooth keyboard they can carry around in their bag. A wireless keyboard gives you the power and functionality of a full keyboard while also giving you the versatility the iPad is famous for. This makes a particularly good companion to the case+stand combo mentioned above.
