Tablet Accessories Buyers Guide

Need a case, keyboard, stand, adapter, or game controller for that tablet? Zagg, Logitech, OtterBox, M-Edge and many others specialize in this area, and many device manufacturers also have their own lines of official device accessories, like the Apple iPad Smart Cover. However, not all options are created equal, and many tablet accessories range from gimmicky to overpriced and useless, while others provide excellent protection and greatly expand functionality.
