The iPad has a wide variety of accessories made by Apple available for it, including a screen cover specifically for the iPad 2 called Smart Cover, as well as a number of accessories to allow the iPad to connect to other devices, some of which enable non-touch screen input.
List of accessories by Apple
| Accessory | Image | Description | Compatible devices | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smart Cover |  |
A cover that attaches magnetically to the side of the device and covers the front. The Smart Cover has three folds, dividing the case into four portions, so it can be maneuvered to create a stand for the tablet. This can be either used to prop the iPad up in a position suitable for typing, or in an upright position for watching video and video calling over FaceTime. To expose the rear-facing HD video camera on the iPad, the cover can also be folded in half. The cover aligns with the front screen of the iPad and is designed to add very little thickness to the overall profile of the device. Additionally, when the Smart Cover is lifted off the face of the iPad, it automatically turns the device on from standby, meaning the on/off button on the top right of the device does not need to be pressed when the user wishes to use it. A smaller Smart Cover, featuring two folds and an integrated hinge, was released alongside the iPad Mini. | iPad 2 Third-generation iPad Fourth-generation iPad iPad Mini |

| Smart Case |  |
Similar to the Smart Cover, however includes an outer shell for extra protection. | iPad 2 Third-generation iPad Fourth-generation iPad |

| Apple Digital AV Adapter |  |
Released with iPad 2 and mirrors video output. This adapter allows the user to mirror anything on the iPad's (iPad 2 or later) screen to a HDTV or any other HDMI-compatible display, in up to 1080p, so that whatever the iPad's user does is viewable to the audience watching on the larger HDMI-compatible display. The Apple Digital AV Adapter connects to the iPad 2 or later or iPad 2 Dock via the 30-pin dock connector, whilst the other end has two connections; one is a 30-pin dock connector to charge/power the device whilst being used, the other is a HDMI-out for connecting to any HDMI-compatible display using an HDMI cable. | First-generation iPad iPad 2 Third-generation iPad |
[4][6] |
| Apple Composite AV Cable | Allows the iPad or iPad 2 to be connected to any TV or home cinema system to allow Movies and other videos to be watched in stereo sound only on a TV from the iPad or iPad 2. This is achieved by plugging the wires into the composite video and audio plugs in a TV or home cinema system and into the 30-pin connector on the iPad or iPad 2. However, it will not mirror the display. | [7] | ||
| iPad VGA Adapter |  |
Works in exactly the same way as the composite AV cable but connects to the component inputs of a TV rather than the composite input. | [7] | |
| iPad Camera Connection Kit |  |
A kit of 2 adapters, one USB and one for SD Cards. They copy the images from an external camera and import them to the iPad. This accessory is compatible with all generations of the iPad and will even allow photos and videos to be transferred from an iPhone (but not vice versa). Camera Connection kit can also be used to attach USB audio cardor MIDI keyboard, even general keyboards for typing. | [8][9] | |
| iPad Dock |  |
Almost the same as the original iPad dock, however it is moulded specially for the design changes of the iPad 2, such as making the iPad thinner. It also includes a "Line Out" port in the back for speakers. This dock also works with the 3rd Generation iPad with the 0.6mm difference in thickness (the 3rd Generation being thicker) still allowing the 3rd Generation iPad to fit into the iPad 2 moulding. The dock was styled the iPad 2 Dock when the iPad 2 was the latest iPad available, however when the New iPad was released it was renamed 'iPad Dock'. The iPad Dock is not compatible with the fourth generation iPad, which uses the Lightning connector. | [10] | |
| iPad Power Cord |  |
A 1.8 metres (5.9 ft) power cord that can be used to allow any iPad to be used while on charge as the power cord supplied is too short for this to be easily possible in most circumstances. Along with the cord, a wall adapter and a 30-pin dock connector cable is sold. | First-generation iPad iPad 2 Third-generation iPad Fourth-generation iPad iPad Mini |
[11] |
| Apple Wireless Keyboard |  |
Allows the user to type and input text onto various iPad applications. It uses Bluetooth technology to connect to all generations of the iPad. The keyboard is designed for the current models of the iMac, Mac and Macbook Families, but nevertheless works with the iPad although some of the keys are non functional. The iMac comes supplied with the Apple Wireless Keyboard free of charge | [12] | |
| EarPods |  |
Designed to allow the wearer to use comfortable ear buds while listening to music. These headphones also come with a remote and microphone on the cord for use with all generations of iPad as well as iPhone and iPod Touch. These are dual armature type in-ear headphones, which are priced at nearly half the market pricing of similar units from comparative manufacturers. | [13][14][15] |

A powered USB hub could be used to avoid the problem of limited power output of the Camera Connection Kit USB port and conserve power. And the usual command-space combination key on Mac to switch between input methods works on the external keyboard as well.
