Our favorite accessories for the new iPad Air

You have just received your new iPad Air recently and you are looking for the best accessories, but you do not know where to start. This guide will give you an idea of ​​what to look for for your brand new iPad Air.

Everyone uses their iPad differently. You may need different accessories, but many of them are useful enough to attract a large audience.

One of the first things we bought for the new iPad Air is the Apple pencil. We are in no way great artists, we can hardly draw figures of sticks. But Apple Pencil is a great tool to have even if you are not an artist. If you are a student and you rely heavily on your iPad to rate your notes, you can use multiple applications to take advantage of the Apple Pencil. You can also use it to navigate the iPad, as well as a help tool. you edit photos on the fly to get those precise settings.

The second thing we recommend is a screen protector. We bought a glass screen protector from Amazon, by amFilm. Nothing special about it except that it can save you a ride in the Apple Store and set up a great appointment because you broke your screen.

Apple Pencil also works great with this screen protector, we have not noticed anything unusual, although we found that the Apple pencil was a lot smoother with this screen protector which could be a good or a bad thing if you use the pencil every day.

It comes with two screen protectors in case you make a mistake during your first application, or break the first one during a bad fall. It's also incredibly affordable at just $ 10. There are other brands you can buy on Amazon, but we think it's the best value for money.

The next step is a case that can protect your iPad from small bumps and scratches: here is the cover Kohmo Companion. This was built for the 2017 iPad Pro by 10.5 inches, as you can see from the cutting of the camera and the speakers. Instead of having two speaker cutouts, there are four, and at the back, a pill-shaped cutout for the camera and the flash that we have found on the Pro model of 10.5 inches from 2017. In addition, given the name Companion Cover, this our next recommendation: the Apple smart keyboard.

We've talked about the quality of this keyboard in our comprehensive review, but to repeat what we said in this review, it's the best keyboard you can buy for the new iPad Air. It connects to the help of the smart connector, so you do not need to pair it via Bluetooth, nor to charge it, and with the KOHMO Companion Cover Cover, you get to enjoy it. protection for both the front and the back, which is really neat.

If Kohmo Companion Cover and Smart Keyboard do not suit you and you want something that only protects your device, we recommend you to choose the Poetic TPU case with an integrated Apple pencil holder. It covers both the front and the back of the iPad, and there is an integrated pencil holder that is incredibly useful as there is really no other way to tidy up the pencil apart from leaving it next to the iPad or over it.

One thing we are not fans of is the magnets of this shell, they are not very powerful, so the tri-fold mechanism that you can usually use with the Apple Smart Shell is a bit difficult to do . Otherwise, a very good simple case.

The last thing we recommend is Anker's USB-C to Lightning cable, as well as their 18W USB-C charging brick to charge your iPad very quickly. If you had to buy from Apple, this same setup would cost you about $ 60, while this Amazon Anker combination would cost us about $ 38.

The iPad Air is very new and we will no doubt see more and more accessories invading the market to cope with the slight modifications made to its design by previous iterations. These are the ones we have chosen, but there are many other options. Hope this guide has at least directed you in the right direction.
