The iPad comes with everything that you need to use it built in which is great, but to have all of the functions in such a small package with so few buttons there have to be compromises. One of these comes in the form of the iPad on screen keyboard. Whilst it is definitely usable, the iPad keyboard takes up a large amount of the screen as well as leaving lots of nice fingerprints all over the screen where the keys are. What is the solution to this problem? Get a small separate keyboard, which will let you make better use of the high quality screen as well as keeping it fingerprint-free. It’ll also let you type and access some of the controls wirelessly from the iPad. Here are a few of the best and most practical iPad keyboards on the market.

Here is a selection of iPad accessories designed to either protect the iPad or enhance your experience with it.

There are a lot of ways to carry and protect your iPad, with a huge range of cases, sleeves, skins and so on designed to protect your device. While these are all great, they are not exactly ideal for carrying them around when you have accessories to go with or if you just want a carrying handle or strap for it. An iPad bag which is specially designed for the iPad will always be a better fit than a standard bag and have the padding needed to protect it while you carry it around, and this is why you need an iPad bag. These are the top 5 iPad bags designed to carry your iPad and iPad accessories.

The iPad is proving to be incredibly popular with everyone from casual users through to businesses introducing them into their daily lives. It’s great for internet, gaming and reading, but with Pages and Numbers available for the iPad, it’s also great for writing your reports, essays and letters on while you’re out and about.

Like the iPhone, the iPad has a touchscreen keyboard which is really easy to type on, but not everyone gets on with it as the lack of feedback when you press a key does feel a little strange. To overcome this one of the best iPad accessories you can invest in an iPad Bluetooth Keyboard.

These come in a range of shapes and sizes and are incredibly easy to set up – just turn it on, go to the Bluetooth Settings on your iPad and select the keyboard. Once you’ve entered your passkey you’re ready to start typing at full speed on a normal keyboard.

GearZap sell a number of iPad Keyboards, so I thought I’d take some time trying out some of our most popular ones and here’s how I got on with each of them.

KeyCase iPad Folio Case with Built in Bluetooth Keyboard

This is a great idea and I’m surprised that no other manufacturers have released one yet. It’s a protective carry case that has a bluetooth keyboard built into the inside cover and folds so that you can also use it as a desk stand. The keyboard is made from a soft silicone, so you won’t get the firm clicking that you’ll get with a regular desktop keyboard, but you do get more feed back from it than you would by using the on screen keyboard.

iPad Folio KeyCase with built in Keyboard

Unlike most of the Bluetooth Keyboards, you don’t need to worry about having to constantly replace batteries. The keyboard has a built in rechargable battery that uses the same charger as your iPad. As it’s made for iPad, the keyboard features all the standard Mac buttons, including volume, music controls and the command and option keys. This may not sound like that big a deal, but if the keyboard didn’t have them you wouldn’t be able to use any of the keyboard shortcuts (such as Cmd-A to select all, Cmd-C to copy etc..) while using your iPad.

Building the keyboard into the case is a great idea as it means you’re always going to have it with you. The case doesn’t add a lot of bulk to your iPad and the soft silicone keypad helps to protect the screen of your iPad when the case is closed.

Apple Bluetooth Keyboard for iPad

This is the same Bluetooth Keyboard that’s included with all new Apple iMacs. It’s an incredibly thin, full sized keyboard that pairs quickly and easily with the iPad. It’s obviously got all the Mac keys, so all your shorcuts will work. It looks great and has proper keys that press and click as any desktop keyboard would. The only slight down side is that it’s powered by two AA batteries rather than being rechargable – having said that I’ve been using one of these keyboards for a few months with my Mac at home and the battery life is excellent. The keyboard goes into power saving mode as soon as it’s not being used and comes back on as soon as a key is pressed.

Apple iPad Bluetooth Keyboard

The keyboard is light and portable, but the keys do stand out from the keyboard, so you’ll need to be careful carrying this around in your bag as it’s likely to get damage or lose a few keys, so for that reason I’d say this is a better option if you want a keyboard to leave at home or on your desk rather than to carry around with you.

Flexible Bluetooth Mini Keyboard

I’ve got mixed thoughts on this one as it’s clearly been designed with Windows users in mind. Its a compact silicone keyboard that rolls up when not in use, making it perfect for carrying around and using on the go – in a way. Because this keyboard is flexible, you need to use it on a flat surface, so if you’re planning on using this on the train, or on a park bench in your lunch break, you’re not going to find it particularly easy.

Flexible Bluetooth Mini Keyboard

The keyboard has a built in rechargeable battery, but charges using a USB cable connected to your PC and uses a different cable to your iPad. The keys on it are similar to those on the Folio Case – a soft silicone that is dust and splash proof and is silent to use, but as I mentioned earlier, this keyboard has been designed for Windows and Symbian devices, more so than the iPad.

There are a number of keys on it that won’t do anything with iPad, and as there are no Mac buttons you won’t be able to use any keyboard shortcuts either.

Summary

If you need a simple, portable keyboard for occaisional typing then the Flexible Bluetooth Mini Keyboard will do the job nicely, but if you plan on using it more often or want the abilty to use keyboard shortcuts, then I’d recommend going for one of the other two keyboards instead.

There are other iPad Bluetooth Keyboards available, these are just the three that I think work the best with the iPad. If you’ve seen an iPad Keyboard that works really well that we’ve not mentioned here, let us know using the comments form below.

The iPad is a great piece of technology. You can use it to watch movies, listen to music and use the endless amount of apps available to it. All you have to do is sync it to a pc (if you have all your media on there), let it transfer and you are ready to go. The only thing is, while you sync it through a USB cable most people don’t want to leave their precious iPad lying around with cables dangling from it. What about when you want to use it to watch that great movie, you could prop it up with something lying around on your desk or just hold it for an hour but the only real solution to these problems is to get an iPad dock.

An iPad dock is the all-in-one solution to your syncing and viewing problems. It lets you sync and charge an iPad easily, it’s quick and simple to attach and detach the iPad from the dock so you dont need to mess around with wires and cables any more. However, probably the most important function of it is that you can use it as a stand to watch movies or view images. The iPad dock will keep your iPad upright and stable so you are free to sit back and watch the film or use it to show of the great looking iPad as part of your desk. Combine this with the fact that it will sync and charge while being used as a display and you will never have to worry about the battery dying while your film is playing. An iPad dock is easily one of the most essential and simple iPad accessories you could ever buy, so here is a few that we think are the best.

iPad Docking Station

This glossy black iPad dock features a back plate which can adjust the resting position of the iPad which allows the dock to be compatible with many slimline iPad skins or covers (up to 4mm thick). Have a nice decorative skin for your iPad (something like one of these Gelaskins maybe)? This dock will be perfect for it. You can also change the viewing angle on it to get rid of that annoying glare you might have on the screen when you watch your movie. The back plate comes in a nice illuminated blue for that extra bit of style. It’s also compatible with the iPhone and iPod, so you’ll only ever need one dock.

Desktop iPad Cradle

This desktop cradle, as the name suggests, is ideal for your desk. Perfect for simple syncing and charing of the iPad, it’ll hold it upright so you can watch your movies and slideshows while it charges. Coming in white, the iPad cradle matches the back of the iPad nicely. The iPad cradle also comes with adjustable viewing angles to make sure you have the perfect angle to watch the movie comfortably. Not only that, you can make sure that there is enough room for the iPad to fit even with the biggest of iPad cases on. Have a large book style leather case or shell on the iPad? No problem! It’s also compatible with the iPhone and iPod too.

iPad Dock Stand

If you want the most secure dock or stand for your iPad, this is definitely the one for you. The biggest stand we have so far, this one provides maximum support for the iPad. With a large base, the iPad dock stand has extra stability and great quality and construction. Covering the whole length of the iPad base, this stand will hold your iPad up with no problems while it syncs and charges. Coming in a classic matte black finish, you can’t go wrong with this iPad dock. You can also use it with an iPhone or an iPod, although they may look a bit small on the large stand.

Classic iPad Dock
Simple styling and sleek design make this a great accessory for the iPad. Coming in the classic iPad white, this accessory matches the iPad design perfectly. It has also designed for a tight fit against the iPad, making it that little bit more secure and with no gaps it looks just that much better. With the iPad Dock, you get easy access to a dock connector port for syncing or charging, and an audio line out port for connecting to powered speakers via an optional audio cable. The iPad Dock also supports other iPad accessories, such as the iPad Dock Connector to VGA Adapter and the iPad Camera Connection Kit. As with the other docks, it is also compatible with iPhone and iPods.
