A lot of friends asked me to make this list of iPad accessories that any woman would want to have. I hesitated a bit because I wasn’t sure there are such items that women would use but men wouldn’t. Eventually, I decided to make the list because after using my iPad since more than one month now, I know what I appreciated most out of all things I bought for it.

1. The Joule iPad Stand

Joule iPad Stand

I like this one because it looks absolutely gorgeous, with or without the iPad on it. I use it mainly in the kitchen, when I cook using recipes found on other websites, but I also enjoy using it for watching videos or slide-shows with my friends. All these girls loved it and asked me where can they get one. Well, when I told them that I paid $129 for mine, they weren’t that inquisitive anymore.

Anyway, for all other girls that read my blog, here’s where I found this stunning iPad stand for the first time, even before it was available for purchase.

2. Oscar de la Renta iPad Clutch

I’m sorry for all those lambs that get killed for our purses, but I just love this iPad case made from the finest lamb skin, embroidered with elegant patterns. The lining is very soft, so I’m sure my iPad is safe inside this case. I also like the snap closure, because it’s tight enough for the iPad to be secure, yet easy to open when needed.

This case cost me $290. It’s a lot, but I think it’s worth the money because it makes me feel good each time I look at it. I find buying so many happiness moments for only $290 a bargain. However, if it doesn’t resonate with you in the same way, you’d better go for a cheaper case, as there are a lot iPad cases cheap and cute.

3. Apple Wireless Keyboard

I don’t know about others, but I love long nails. Long nails, however, are the enemies of touch screens, therefore girls who can’t say goodbye to their long nails need a real keyboard, because they won’t be able to type on the virtual one. At least I can’t. If any of you manages, maybe she can tell us more in the comments section. Until then, here’s where you can get such a wireless keyboard for iPad from: Apple Wireless Keyboard (Retail Packaging)

4. Gelaskins iPad Skin

Neo New York

This is not as much functional as beautiful. It’s a custom skin, very thin, with a matching desktop wallpaper. The skin plays also the role of protecting the iPad from little scratches which are almost inevitable. There are so many such beautiful skins on the Gelaskins website that I bought more than one. My iPad still wears the first one, which looks like new, so I suppose I won’t need to change it too soon.

5. Boxwave iPad Capacitive Stylus

This is a must-have accessory not only for girls with long nails, but also for boys with thick fingers. It allows you to use the virtual keyboard much better, so it’s good to have one. Here’s where you can get yours from: BoxWave Apple iPad Capacitive Stylus

Even if you’ve got the external keyboard, the stylus is still useful, because you won’t feel like carrying the keyboard with you everywhere. Well, if you do so, you’d better give up your iPad and choose a laptop. It will make your life easier.

This is my list. Of course I’ve got a car charger and some external speakers as well, but I’m not so pleased with them so I didn’t feel like listing them here.

What about you? Do you have an iPad? What accessories have you got for it?
