What is going on everyone?
It is Mike, welcome back to Tech 24/7 TV.
It is great to have you back here.
Now whether you are brand new the iPad eight-generation or
you are the current owner of maybe a seventh generation or
even previous models, having great accessories to go
along with your tablet of choice really goes a long way
to improve your experience.
Now, if you're new here I love the iPad.
It is incredibly portable coming in at ten-point-two
(10.2) inches and the fact that it has Apple's latest A12
processor makes the iPad very powerful all for the low cost
of three hundred twenty-nine dollars ($329).
I feel that price and functionality are going to be
hard to beat.
Now, if you're looking for accessories maybe you want to
use your iPad had to binge content, or perhaps
you want to take your time and level up your productivity game
to that next level.
You are in the right place because in today's video
- right here, this is what we're gonna do right now - I'm
going to show you all of my favorite accessories for the
ten-point-two-inch iPad from Apple.
Let's get started.
Welcome back to Tech 24/7 TV where we bring you the best in
unboxing and product reviews so you can make
informed buying decisions.
Here on this channel, we analyze the various bits and
bytes that transcend technology only to find their way
into your pocket.
Now if you like product view videos just like the one that
you're watching for the ten-point-two-inch iPad,
make sure that you click the SUBSCRIBE button and turn on
NOTIFICATIONS so you can be alerted when that new content
drops because I have accessory videos coming for the
iPad Air 4, the new iPhone 12, as well as
the Apple Watch Series 6.
The first must-have accessory on my list is the Logitech
Combo Touch and it's my go-to recommendation.
Whether you find yourself working from a coffee shop or
you find yourself on the couch.
Now I'm gonna put a link right here in the card above either
on that side or that side, They change it I mean
all the time.
Really the short of it is this keyboard case is fantastic.
The Combo Touch offers the best of both worlds.
It has an excellent typing experience that's really made
possible by the scissor-switch keys.
They are backlit.
They're well spaced and there is an all-glass trackpad and
the experience rivals Apple's own magic keyboard.
Now you also get iOS function keys,
drop protection in addition that it works with both
the seventh-generation iPad, you know the one
from twenty nineteen, in addition to the latest
version of the ten-point -two-inch iPad.
By the way,
You can find links to all the products I talk about in the
video description below if you want to pick up
something for yourself.
One of the great features of the Logitech Combo Touch is
that the case can be separated from the keyboard allowing the
case to be used in a laid-back consumption context.
Maybe when you're watching TV.
When you want to connect the keyboard the Logitech *Combo
Touch* is going to use a smart dock connector at the bottom of
the iPad and that means that there's no worry about charging
this case separately because it's going to use your eye
pads internal battery.
Now once the case is connected to the keyboard it's going
to stay shut.
Using a strong magnet at the very bottom of the keyboard now
along the top of the case, you have somewhere to store
your apple pencil or even your Logitech Crayon, but I'll
get more into that into the Crayon in just a few minutes.
You still have access to all the ports and speakers and you
can even charge your Apple Pencil when it's in the case,
though it still does look ridiculous.
The Logitech Combo Touch is a premium product no doubt
because it does cost one hundred dollars but I feel that
the company delivers on the "premium-ness?" because the
case offers a great feel, great features with significant
drop protection and you're going to have that trackpad.
Now some people don't like the fact that here on the bottom
the dock connector where you connect the keyboard can get
disconnected easily but I think it's both good and a
bad thing.
I would say this is gonna be one of your best choices for
your iPad if you're looking for it all in one integrate
solution for a keyboard and trackpad coming in at one
hundred and fifty dollars.
Next up is the Satechi R1 Hinge Stand and it retails
for thirty-nine ninety-five.
Now the stand is available in five different colors including
Space Grey which you see here.
It's probably the best stand I've come across and I know
it's a bit expensive but you're really getting what you
pay for here.
The R1 Hinge Stand has soft- touch rubber wherever it comes
in contact with your iPad and I'll tell you this can sturdily
accommodate the twelve-point- nine-inch iPad thanks to the
width of the base it's very wide obviously.
And when you put the larger iPad in here it doesn't kind of
you know easily kind of rock around or feel flimsy.
Now I think quite unique is that you can take the iPad
stand and you can lay it flat if you want.
You go and put it in your bag bring it to your coffee shop
and whatnot and then use it there.
It will articulate in a number of different angles and it does
articulate having two hinges.
It's just a great stand that offers a lot of utility.
Again I think that's the theme here.
This is an older product that I probably owned for about two
years and I'm not recommending accessories to you that are
brand new that I've only used for a period of time.
These are things that I've used for a long period of time
in my opinion.
They've been tested as being functional.
I don't use this with my iPad today I use it with my Nintendo
switch when playing games.
But this is an I think a great accessory for the iPad.
If you want to go and use it for FaceTime if you don't get
the Logitech Folio Touch.
Next, you might need a way to carry the ten-point-two-inch
iPad when you're out and about, you know
whenever the pandemic ends and that's where the Everyday Sling
from Peak Design is going to come into play.
Now, this is going to come in three different sizes:
there are 3, 6, and 10 liter and this right here is
the 6 liter.
I found for my height which is 5' 10" This is going to be the
best size for me and this fits both the ten-point-two-inch
iPad as well as a few accessories.
This one here is ninety-nine dollars.
Now while this appears small it can fit quite a lot of
accessories in here in the six-liter version.
Now I'm going to go and open this up and you could
see here.
No this is the
here there is a back pocket here.
There is a deep pocket.
this does also come with some dividers which I don't have in
here right now because this - maybe not intended to - but can
be used with a camera and if you want to separate the camera
body from the lenses but you have this big kind of open
body in here.
All right.
And then from in here you have a zipper pocket up top where
you can store some additional accessories if you want keys
memory card for your camera.
In addition to that also closed there is a zip pocket
here the front.
So I use this when I'm out and about and it does really often
get a lot of utility.
Let's put the iPad in here.
So here's the ten-point- two-inch iPad with the Logitech
combo touch and I put that in here and you see there's still
a lot of room.
Let's put the
the Satechi R1 Hinge and you see here there's still a lot of
room and it's not heavily weighted down.
I think this bag would be great if find yourself working from a
coffee shop you maybe even a day trip going somewhere into
or depending on what you were what you're what you put in
your bag or your backpack, this could be a good Everyday
Carry (or EDC) bag.
Now the entire everyday sling is *water-resistant* and this
sling here that goes over your shoulder
is adjustable.
Now there's an adjustment on the side
so this is adjustable and if you wanted to loosen this or
loosen and then you pull this sling shut and then tighten it
back up and making it more SNUG that this does fit.
Good I'd say.
You know I feel confident.
This is my MURSE and I don't judge.
Now let me know in the comments below if you're like me and you
don't like carrying a bunch of random items in your pocket.
But I feel comfortable you know walking out the house with this
you know just carrying my wallet my phone my air pods not
neccessarily having a lot of things but I do use this for my
iPad Pro 11 inch as well I get a ton of utility out as bag
type quality is water-resistant.
The company gives it a lifetime guarantee.
And you know for ninety-nine dollars you might think that's
expensive but if something has a lifetime guarantee and it
really just to me underscores how much the company stands
behind their product.
So ninety-nine dollars available in three different
sizes 3 different colors as well.
There's gray black and like a navy blue.
Again the link will be in the section below if you want to
check that out.
Next, the Apple pencil is a powerful tool that really
extends the iPad capability.
Unfortunately, it's on the pricey side costing upwards of
one hundred dollars.
If you're looking for something that gives you a similar
functionality and it's not nearly so expensive, I would
suggest to you the Logitech Crayon is a more than suitable
replacement offering the same functionality as the Apple
pencil without that charging the clumsy charging mechanism
nor the high price tag.
This retails for sixty-nine dollars on Amazon.
And sometimes you can even get it for 50 bucks.
I think that's why I bought it for 50 dollars.
But this is great.
It will work with any iPad and it doesn't need to be the iPad
ten point two inch.
It doesn't you.
There's no pairing.
All you do is charge it up and turn it on.
You see a little power button right here
you see that little green button little girl
of green light.
That's when you know it's on.
And I'll just work on the iPad.
Again, it offers all the same functionality and
it's less expensive.
So it's a good deal.
From there, if you're serious about gaming on your iPad.
I would definitely suggest getting yourself a Playstation
controller or an Xbox controller.
This really allows you to be precise and control any of the
games that you have there on the iPad that offer controller
support because that's new in iOS 13 last year and now you
have some additional features for control of sport as well.
But this really gives you really to go and fine-tune
gaming me I love playing car racing aims and having a
controller like this is something that is just optimal
for playing games especially for long periods of time
sitting back playing games on your iPad.
Maybe you have your iPad in the stand like the Satechi that I
showed you earlier.
That's a techie stand but this is going to be a must-have
especially if you are a gamer but if you're a gamer you maybe
you even know that now that's gonna wrap up my list of
must-have accessories for the iPod.
I want to know what you have on your list of accessories
for the iPod.
What do you take with you on a daily basis?
What do you use for your iPad?
Let me know in the comments below.
I am Mike.
Now make sure you are subscribing notifications
because I have a lot of other videos planned for accessory
videos for the iPad Air 4, the new Apple watch.
In addition, the new Apple Watch that red one right here.
In addition to the new iPhone 12 that it comes out, I think
October 30th is going to be that date.
Let me know if you're excited.
