There are plenty of accessories for the popular Apple iPad and ZAGG Inc. has you covered for just about everything you need. In this gallery and review we take a look at five popular accessories that work with the new Apple iPad and other devices.

Check out my full ZDNet Mobile Gadgeteer post with all the details on each accessory and my experiences using them over the last few weeks.

The ZAGGfolio has openings for the camera, speaker, and docking port so nothing is compromised when you have your iPad inside.

Here you can see my new iPad in the case laid out flat to show the full keyboard. The keyboard has great spacing and rows of keys. This is the silver keyboard, with options to purchase in white or black as well.

Here you can see my new iPad is mounted in the ZAGGfolio case and propped up at a perfect angle for viewing and typing.

This image shows how the ZAGGfolio improves on the keyboard design from a year ago found on the keyboard case. I like the improved spacing and keyboard design on the ZAGGfolio much better.

This side-by-side image shows the difference in the keyboards too.

The speaker and ports are open and visible in this image. You will see added thickness with your iPad in the case, but when you consider that you get a fully functional physical keyboard then the trade-off is worth it to me.

You can see here that the power button, 3.5mm headset jack, and camera are accessible at the top of the case.

While the standard US plug is provided and integrated in the ZAGGsparq 2.0, you also get a foreign travel plug for some countries.
