We’d argue the Apple iPad can only get better, more useful, when partnered with one of these accessories that build upon improving portability or the sound of your trusted tablet computer. Here are three we recommend…

SMK Link Paddock 10 Adding some audio kick to your iPad has never been this easier. Plenty of volume with two 3 watt speakers, which can bounce the sound waves off of surfaces behind the stand for better amplification. It can rotate 360 degrees. $99.99

iHome iA100ZC Alarm Clock This is not another iPad speaker dock. This one can play MP3s with its built-in Bongiovi restorative digital sound technology and wirelessly stream music over Bluetooth. Comes with alarm apps for the iPad and sleep mode that can turn the iPad off after a pre set time. $199

Booq Cobra Courier XS This bag let your iPad rest on a cushioned, plush compartment while protected all around with ballistic nylon material. Additional space for other peripherals and supplies are plenty. Front access zipper reveals pockets and internal chambers accented with Napa leather trim. $145
