20 Best Ipad Accessories For Artists (2023 Updated)

The STM Dux Plus Case for iPad Air offers great protection for your iPad without adding too much bulk as some cases can do. The convenient slot for an Apple Pencil allows you to carry your pencil with you at all times without accidentally flicking it from the side of the iPad.

Another handy feature of the pencil slot is the ability to quickly slide the pencil up into charging position when needed or slide down away from the magnetic charging position to save the pencil from always being on charge and perhaps reducing battery life.

Overall a great case in both feature and form!.

I already have the same brand case for my iPad Air 3rd gen and have been very happy with the case’s design, ease of use and protection it gives to my iPad. The new case for my iPad Air 4th gen is just as good.

Highly recommended.

Saturday case with integrated pencil holder, which is an excellent feature. Unfortunately the rubberized coating started to peel off the cover and made a complete mess. Other than that, sturdy case.

My friend’s been in a large assisted living facility for two years, and his old iPad has been slowing way down so he requested that I pick up a new base iPad and set it up for him. So I stopped by on my way home that Friday (7-15-22) and bought an iPad 9th Gen with this keyboard folio, since I’d told him that if he decided he didn’t want it, I’d keep it for my own use (traveling, possibly mixing sound remotely with the 32-channel digital mixing console at church, among others, and my kids will be thrilled that Dad’s joining their iOS community).

Friday (7-22-22), I took it along as Doc stops by on his way home from work weekly. I found the old iPad he was given is an iPad Air of late 2013-early 2014, Doc checked and the network Wi-Fi was so slo-o-ow that while Doc cleared several years of browser history and other files, I pulled up several large real estate photo galleries on the new iPad with keyboard, handed it to him and he was hugely pleased.

So on my walk home I picked up a second of this iPad and folio to “set it up the same way yours is!” This Android guy is now going to set up a completely analog guy with the digital Apple world instruction to set up his own system, with his own Apple ID and more, since the friend that gave him this old iPad would not divulge the Apple ID for it.

Makes no difference, as we’ll have YouTube University to help him learn to set up the new machine, and to maintain it. Printing the Setup Guide to “Use Printable Area” really helps! (pages 1-10) (Six decades of experience helps, too.

) Relax, breathe, have fun every day!.

I’ve been using this keyboard/case for several years. It was a replacement for a heavier, hardshell product which needed to be recharged after only 4 hours of use. Using replaceable batteries is the main reason for my purchase.

It isn’t comfy to hold in its laptop form, but flipping to tablet mode is easy. Then when flipping to close, sometimes I don’t raise it high enough to clear the Bluetooth connectors and its magnets engage — a minor gripe.

The keys are cramped compared to a full-size keyboard, but that is to be expected. No backlighting with the keys, but the keystroke and key feel is acceptable. I’m still glad I found and bought this keyboard/case.

I have been a Logitech accessory fan for about 25 years based on their quality and longevity.

I would have given this a higher rating if I had not had such a difficult time pairing with my device, and registering for the warranty. The instructions that come with the Folio are very incomplete.

Where it shows that you should type in the code, it does not tell you that you type in the code on the keyboard quickly and hit enter…even tho you cannot see what you are typing. When instructions ask you to type in a code, a box or line usually comes up where you type the code!! When you go to register the product, DO NOT use the S/N on the back of the box.

That is the S/N for the box!!! You have to bend the cover backward on the folio to find the serial for the device. It took my forever to google and find a phone number to call, and then you are connected to someone that you cannot understand.

Thank goodness, after several phone calls I was finally connected with Ed in the United States, and he was very helpful.

I really like this keyboard case. There is almost no difference in typing with this keyboard compared to my laptop keyboard. I will say the keys feel slightly smaller but not enough to hinder your typing.

My favorite feature is that the keyboard lights up and you can actually change the color of the backlight. I also enjoy that there are three viewing modes (the case actually swivels so that you can use your tablet without the keyboard getting in the way).

The one major let down, for me, is the stylus holder. I prefer a stylus holder on the inside of my tablet case to protect my pencil and this case only has an exterior holder. Other than that, if you are looking for a good quality keyboard tablet case I would definitely recommend this one.

Just keep in mind that if you carry a stylus with you then it will have to be stored on the outside of the case.

One of the best purchases I have ever made. Very good price and high quality case. Works better than my other two cases that cost 13 to 25 dollars. Protection all around the case for your iPad Pro. Would recommend everybody with an iPad Pro to buy.

Im going to buy other two.

This case is nice and slim for the iPad pro 12.9 3rd generation. It sleeps the screen on close and wakes on open

College student who wanted to start using ipad as notes. Case is very reliable and useful.

I bought this pencil based on other reviews that emphasized what a great choice it was. I was not disappointed. The pencil writes like a dream and is so easy to use. I have had no issues with sensitivity or accuracy.

I’m no artist or pro with the iPad, I really just bought this so I could take notes for school. I can’t comment on how well this works for an artist’s purposes, but for a simple student’s purposes, this pencil is more than adequate.

This pencil is slightly magnetic which is useful when setting the pencil down. I can set it down on the iPad or the iPad case and it will lightly stay attached. I say lightly because really any movement will dislodge it.

It’s not strong enough to remain attached while transporting the iPad, but it is convenient when setting down the pencil and not wanting to misplace it. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs just a basic smart pencil and doesn’t want to spend a ridiculous amount of money on the Apple Pencil.

I am very pleasantly surprised with the quality and ease of use of this stylus pen for iPad. The instructions were easy to follow. The pen feels great to hold and feels very sturdy. Battery life is great.

I only use it occasionally but I have only had to charge it once in two weeks so far. It does turn on almost too easily while clipped in to my iPad’s case but there is a bright blue LED indicator on it so I see to turn it off when that happens.

The only difference between this stylus and an Apple Pencil I tried at a store display is that this stylus is NOT pressure sensitive, I have to manually change the “ink or paint” width in the apps but for me this is ok.

I love being able to write, draw, and more. Definitely a great alternative for the price if you want to save money instead of paying $90 for the Apple Pencil.

I was given an iPad for work and I use it to take notes and keep track of tasks. My husband bought the real Apple Pencil awhile back and there isn’t much difference between this and the genuine product, he’s disappointed he wasted the money.

My boss also has a Apple Pencil and he used this and was really impressed. I also bought a screen protector that’s paper like to write on. It was a game changer for me as I couldn’t get used to the slippery surface.

I’m really grateful that I don’t have to spend $130 on the Apple version. Works great!.

The pencil holder is too small for a Logitech crayon. It would fit the Apple pencils I’m sure. Ordered this case for the holder so slightly disappointed on that front. Case is sturdy and easy to hold onto, just have to carry the crayon separately.

This is an open case for the IPad that will endure numerous drops, falls, etc. without damaging your IPad or the case itself. It is built to last and to protect.

The case fit great but at the “bottom” where the home button is it’s just rubber. There is no hard plastic. It just seems kinda unprotected.

This is a sturdy, well-built case with the perfect design for someone who wants lightweight protection, a translucent back to display their iPad’s color, a tri-fold stand with two positions, and a secure holder for the pen.

The one thing I just don’t like is the color. I have the pale green iPad Air 4 so I got the green case, but this is a loud, bold green that makes my beautiful iPad look like a child’s toy. I’m also not a fan of the other color choices, so I guess I’m stuck with it.

Two other cases I tried are a much nicer matcha green color which has more grey in it which tones things down a bit. But those cases are noticeably more flimsy than this one. If you like the color, it’s a winner.

I’ve only had this a week now, so I can’t say with 100% certainty, but the little sleeve to hold the apple pencil is really high quality. I think! I was expecting it to feel stretched out after one or two uses, because it really does go in there tight, but surprisingly the material doesn’t seem to be retaining memory of the looser “pencil in” mode after use.

I had never heard of this brand before, as I’ve been out of the ipad, apple watch game for years, but I could tell by the packaging that the product was high quality. But it still surprised me with how nice it feels.

It’s a nice looking case , however If you’re looking for protection this isn’t the case for you. The back is a clear hard plastic, feels like at the first accidental drop the case is going to crack. This may be ideal for someone who keeps their tablet on their desk only, I walk all over with this thing.

It fits my pro 11 like a glove. I’m gonna order a different one, but because I’m too lazy to go into store I’ll keep this as a backup in the meantime.

I’ve had the case for around four weeks. It adds thickness and weight to the sleek iPad design but I’m willing to accept that as the case is neat, secures the iPad very well and is high quality so it still looks nice and stores easily.

The main thing that I wanted from the case was the rotating design that allows the screen to be in portrait position (which I prefer) or landscape. This function is quick, smooth and easy and the choice of the positions to stand the screen in (velvety grooves) is adequate.

The case doesn’t slip from the grooves, it feels steady and secure when using on knee or table top. The price is competitive and overall I’d say it’s very good value for money. I have had Targus cases previously and they lasted around two years before becoming scuffed/worn.

This one feels even better quality and the design has improved. I would feel happy to recommend this case.

Is seems a good, robust case but I have reservations. I’m not sure that closing it causes the screen to go into sleep mode. With my previous IPad, still in use, the screen becomes dormant when the case – a much cheaper one- is closed & awakens on reopening.

I thought this might be because the new one has no magnetic closure, but depends on an elastic band to hold it closed. My other one snaps shut, which I imagine connects the case electronically to the iPad, signalling it to go to sleep.

No being very technically minded I was unsure if this was correct. But I’ve just read a review by someone who clearly is technically competent & he says much the same thing. It seems to me that an iPad being permanently awake – until it is powered off – is far from ideal, at the very least using power & memory.

But as I say, I’m no expert.

Wasn’t sure if I’d end up liking this “folio” style case, but it was the obvious superior quality item among the choices in the store so I took the risk. The magnetic fold back closure flap is nice, though a stronger magnet would have been better.

In the end, I found one significant design shortcoming. When the cover is folded back behind the case and you slip your hand into the elastic hand grip in portrait orientation, the weight of the iPad causes the front part of the case to droop down in relation to the folded back cover behind it like two large, heavy, mis-aligned playing cards.

Very awkward to hold it this way. A magnetic solution either with the fold back closure flap holding the two in alignment, or one between the rear of the case and the cover holding them to each other would have really helped.

Also, the rotation feature is of little value (I don’t use it), and don’t plan on removing the iPad frequently from the case as it isn’t easily done.

Look no further. Just do yourself a favor and buy this product. Will serve you better t Han any other on the market and it will last like… almost forever.

Great protection. Very grippy. Slim profile. Best iPad case that I have ever owned

Extremely durable case Dash the second one purchase!

Love this case it was exactly what I was looking for in a case. The plastic case on the back is clear so you can still see the iPad, and the folding cover is sleek and convenient. Much cheaper here than anywhere else I could find it and it’s the real product not a knock off.

If you’re looking for a super protective case this isn’t the one, but it should still provide plenty of protection for normal use. If it’s for kids then don’t buy this, get an otter box or lifeproof.

Also this case works with glass screen protectors it doesn’t overlap the screen. I’m super happy with this case it’s exactly what I wanted. I got the black case, it has a rubber feel to the outside and a felt cloth feel on the inside, very good quality all around.

The magnets work well and are plenty strong, they hold it open flat on the back which is nice and turn the screen on and off automatically like most others do. I would watch YouTube vids about this case if you are unsure if it’s the case for you they describe it pretty clearly.

This case was a great deal and shipped very fast I would recommend this seller to others.

I bought/replaced the Moshi Versacover for a friend, for her ipad mini because she loves it so much. After a couple of years of heavy use it became tattered. I also have the Versacover for my ipad and I would not buy anything else.

Not only does it protect my ipad from dropping it, but it’s versatility for configuring it to suit the landscape or portrait position so easily and with virtually no effort, it is a sure-fire winner and sets it way above the competitors.

Your device is easily removed from the Versacover, too, should you want or need to. While it’s pricey, it’s well worth the expense. I would buy it over and over and over. well you get the picture! I cannot think of one negative about the Versacover.

I have used many cases but this one surpasses Apple’s leather case and the others like Logitech. It is very light and very durable. Very versatile, with three possible angles it covers any situation.

You can type onscreen and it will not wield. My only two minor wishes is there is no grey color as was available previously. Black case is hard to notice on my sofas. Transparent back side is awesome, why hide the great Apple design? The other wish is I like the previous hard clear edges, they felt better when wiping the screen.

The new soft edges cover the chamfers better but do not feel great when you wipe the screen. Some things better left unchanged.

First of all, the package contained a subset of the long title that was on the Walmart website. As a result, my IPAD Air 5th Generation was not mentioned in the package title. This was solved when I compared the stock number in the package title to the Walmart website title.

THEN I opened the package. This cover really has 2 components: 1. the part that touches the IPAD 2. the part that doesn’t touch the IPAD PART THAT TOUCHES THE IPAD (toucher) Place your IPAD flat on a surface in front of you with the screen facing up.

The toucher covers the IPAD on the back and on the 4 thin sides with cutouts for the buttons, plug and back camera. The 4 thin sides extend on the top of the screen acting as a tiny screen frame. This screen frame locks the IPAD in place so the IPAD cannot fall out.

There are also holes in the back so the IPAD can breathe. The corners bulge like pool table pocket corners. PART THAT DOESN’T TOUCH THE IPAD (wrapper) If you hold the IPAD like you are reading a book.

the wrapper connects to the toucher on the back. The connection is positioned 2/3 of the way vertically from the left edge. The wrapper extends to the left back edge of the IPAD, goes up the left thin side and then comes across the front of the IPAD to the right edge.

Then the centered miniature envelope flap covers the right thin side of the IPAD and wraps to the back of the IPAD. The envelope flap is held in a closed position with a magnet on the flap edge. Installation wasn’t terribly difficult.

I did apply some pressure getting the IPAD under the toucher screen frame. This cover is very slick and very professional looking. If dropped on the screen to land on the floor, the tiny screen frame will protect the screen from breaking if the wrapper is open.

If dropped on the screen to land on a spoon on the floor, the IPAD will probablly be damaged because there is no screen protector. To solve that, I bought a. 3 mm screen protector which fits quite nicely with this cover.

This cover passed the shake test and the knock over test without the IPAD popping out. Each bend in the wrapper acts as a possible position to prop the IPAD. With the cover AND the screen protector (purchased separately), I am confident that this IPAD can be dropped, knocked over and even tossed with the wrapper open or closed.

Without the screen protector before purchase, the IPAD sat on my desk to eliminate the chance of a drop. I recommend this cover but get yourself a screen protector.

While it definitely protects the iPad it’s not ideal. The cover “snaps” off but it’s cumbersome. Also the edges don’t “wrap” around the iPad very evenly making it feel like a design flaw and a bit cheap – which it’s definitely not.

I wanted something that holds the pen, but if you want to put it in “stand” / table top mode then the part that wraps around the pen is in the way. Also the ridges on the cover aloe many viewing angles, but the soft and clean fiber side would be on the table.

Making it dirty and defeating the purpose of keeping your screen clean(ish) Overal. If you want protection it’s fine, but functionality I would look elsewhere. Many cheaper options.

I’ve been using iPad cases since the first ipad came out, and I think I own every iPad model still. So I’ve chanced and swapped protective cases like this one quite often over the years. I know I can spot a good one when I see it.

The case is of great quality, and offers great protection, however, the iPad slides down when placed in upright positions more easily compared with the apple original case. A slight design chance on the inside protective casing from UAG would have solved this issue, but it didn’t happen so I cannot give it a five star review.

The big plus over all other cases is the fact that it keeps the stylus in a well, and it keeps it well protected, that sets this case above others for me.

I bought this case from a retailer with high hopes. These are expensive rugged cases and priced at the top level. A year after I bought it, the rubber and outside totally started coming apart and made a mess wherever I took it.

I contacted UAG and thankfully they agreed to replace it under warranty. It did take a few weeks for delivery because of supply issued I assume but I did receive a new one. I hope this one lasts longer for this price point is should last for years or longer.

I love this case! It makes my amazing iPad and Apple Pencil even better! It’s like a better version of a laptop, and it is highly thanks to this case. It sets up my iPad at a great level. The keyboard fits so nicely on the case to make a laptop out of your tablet, and I love having a slot for my pencil so it doesnt get lost! The case is beautiful and in my favorite color.

I love not having to sacrifice style for usability. This purchase really made my school work and office work so much better. It gives a great portable set up, and I cannot stress enough how much I love how everything fits.

The keyboard is a great size, and it incorpates iPad functions into the keyboard itself, by being able to lock the iPad or adjust volume. One of the best and most helpful purchases I have ever made, and a GREAT price point.

Skip the hefty MacBook price, and get this for an iPad set up!!!.

wonderful keyboard! i generally leave it on all the time. It has a great battery life. I’ve only charged it once in three weeks. the ipad 8 syncs with it automatically after the initial setup, if the keyboard is left “on”.

the case is okay. it would be better if the apple pencil would charge when stowed. ( i couldn’t find a single case that allows for that. the case doesn’t seem durable enough to handle kids.

The case is super cute and definitely more sturdy than i thought it would be – i thought it was just bendable plastic. The keyboard works perfectly! It’s smaller than what i am used to but something that can take time.

Love that my apple pencil fits perfectly. Love it!.
