SwitchEasy Canvas Folio

SAI editor Jay Yarow and I have a long-standing disagreement over my use of an iPad case. I swear by this case because it offers some solid protection and can instantly convert into a stand with multiple viewing angles. As long as I'm taking my iPad nearly everywhere I go, I'll do what I can to keep it drop-proof and spill-proof.

Price: $45

Whatever this screen protector is made out of, it works like a charm to stop scratches and spills. It can be tricky to install, so get help from a steady-handed friend.

Price: $11.97

Don't be fooled by this speaker's tiny size -- it can really fill a room with sound. There's even an expandable diaphragm for when you want to have some quality definition to whatever you're listening to.

Price: $24.20

AmazonBasics Stylus

This might be controversial, but I like using a stylus for Draw Something and when I use a sketching app called Paper. Amazon's capacitive stylus is a great no-frills solution to maximizing your control over whatever you're drawing while fitting comfortably in your hand.

Price: $10.93

Logitech Tablet Keyboard

Logitech hit a home run with this keyboard -- its slender profile makes it easy to take it everywhere and it comes with a case to keep it protected as you carry it around in a bag. It easily beats the iPad's built-in keyboard, especially for lengthier writing.

Price: $54.02

Motorola S305 Bluetooth Headphones

I used to swear by corded headphones, but ever since I tried this I'll never look back. They sound great, they weigh nothing, and the microphone even sounds decent.

Price: $37.99
