Tstand – iPad Holder for Bed

tstand ipad holder for bed
Although it’s our own innovation, we had to include Tstand on this list for a few reasons. For one, we have never come across a better iPad accessory for watching movies while lying down. For two, Tstand’s Amazon listing has been getting some pretty good feedback from customers and Kickstarter backers alike. And let’s face it: Tstand is a pretty cool iPad accessory for lazy days.

If you’re unfamiliar with this product, Tstand is an iPad bed stand that lets you use your iPad comfortably when lying down in bed or on the couch. But that’s not all. Its base rotates, allowing you to also use your Tsand as an iPad stand for your desk, an iPad kitchen stand or whatever else you can think of.

RavPower External Battery Pack

RavPower External Battery Pack
For anyone who tends to use their iPad on the go, while travelling or camping, this external battery pack for iPad is a lifesaver. Let’s face it, iPad’s don’t have the best battery life when connected to Wifi and a power outlet isn’t always available. Even when watching movies offline on your device, this battery pack can make the difference between watching two movies and four.

The RAVPower is particularly cool since it can charge three devices simultaneously and can charge your iPad Mini more than three times. It uses the latest iSmart 2.0 voltage technology, allowing it to charge your iPad just as efficiently as an Apple charging cable would.

Rhino Shield High Impact-Resistant Screen Protector

Rhino Shield High Impact-Resistant Screen Protector
While iPad cases and sleeves are exciting to pick out, they certainly do not protect your iPad’s screen from random acts of clumsiness. The Rhino Shield iPad Screen Protector is the perfect solution for low-key but highly effective iPad screen protection. It’s the kind of screen protector that will save your iPad from the worst of the worst of drops.

Unlike many low quality screen protectors out there, Rhino Shield will not affect the look and feel of your iPad, which is a major plus. It will also keep finger smudges to a minimum. It boasts an impressive 11-foot drop protection, meaning it can absorb the impact of an 11 foot drop. Hopefully you’re not that reckless with your electronics to begin with, but hey, better safe than sorry!

Elago Stylus

Elago Stylus
If you’re a regular iPad user, a stylus will save your fingers from potential aches and pains down the road. Without a stylus, our fingers adopt unnatural positions that, with time, are quite straining on our muscles and joints. Asides from saving yourself from tendinitis, a stylus adds some serious functionality to the iPad, allowing you to take notes, sketch and browse the web seamlessly.

The Elago stylus is particularly cool due to its ergonomic design, high quality aluminum build and precise control over its touch. Since stylus tips are easily lost or broken, it comes with an extra rubber stylus tip that can be easily screwed on if needed.
