Top accessories for your iPhone and iPad: gallery

By | April 23, 2012, 1:14am PDT

Summary: Dozens of iPad and iPhone accessories tested across a variety of categories, whittled down to a handful of the very best you can buy for your iDevice.

The iPhone and iPad are both considered by most to be the best devices in their class, but you can dramatically improve upon both of them buying the right accessories. However, given the incredible popularity of these devices, there are an overwhelming number of accessories available for both. Finding the best accessory in a particular category can be very difficult.

Over the course of this gallery, I will work my way through several categories of accessories and highlight “best of the best” that you can buy for your iPhone or iPad.

I’ll show you the very best cases for your iPhone and iPad, no matter whether you’re careful with your device or the sort of person to throw it about with enthusiastic abandon. I’ll also show you the best battery pack and car cord for keeping your device charged up when you’re on the move, the best speaker docks, the best keyboard, the best Bluetooth headset, the best FM transmitter, and the best — and oddest — photographic accessory. No matter how you use your iPhone and iPad, there’s something here for everyone.
