With back to school season now here, it is officially the time to stock up on all the tech-related items you’ll need for studying, entertainment, and more. If you’re one of the many college students who have sprung for an iPad, then you’re likely in the market for accessories to enhance your device. Some accessories are practical and aim to protect your iPad by improving durability. Some are simple upgrades that are meant to make your life as a student easier. And others still are just purely for the aesthetic. (I mean, honestly, having a cohesive vibe with my tech and matching it your other school supplies and dorm decorations just makes me feel like I have everything put together at the start of the semester.)
But there are *a lot* of iPad accessories out there, so how do you know what’s worth adding to your cart, and what items should you skip (or at least move to your “save for later” section)? Of course, it all depends on your personal needs and wants, but below, I’ve put together a list of some of the top items almost everyone with an iPad would benefit from having at the start of the new semester.Â
Apple Pencil Grip 2-Pack
Do you prefer to handwrite your notes (digitally) with your Apple Pencil, versus type them into a document? If so, your hand may start to feel uncomfortable in those extra-long lectures. This Apple Pencil Grip can help ease the pain.
