I Tested $12,000 Worth Of iPad Accessories - Here Are My Top Picks

[@beltrangarrote1982]

Straight to the point, no filler aesthetic shots, a non-intrusive dog in a tie, right amount of humor, and lots and lots of actual useful info. Outstanding. Can't thank you enough. A pity your links don't work in my country.

[@Elbown]

What a patient dog

[@Ravenankh]

Monty is the best!

[@longhairmullet]

I know! I find myself wondering if he wants a break! Does he want down? Always nice to see him but feel he is being used as a prop there for the entire video. Geez 😒

[@TheFloatingBartender]

Finally a dude that goes as my pace, with detailed content. Incredible value per minute ratio in this clip

[@Delicate141]

Hey Aaron, just wanted to say thank you for your great videos. I’m here for about 2 years, more or less, and I’m here to stay. The fact that no one pays you to make that expensive content is something you gotta value. Have a beautiful day! ❤️

[@michaeldunigan5839]

The amount of value per minute of this video is ridiculous.

[@TheMrSnarf]

It’s always nice to see Monty doing this thing! I have been watching KZbin for years now and it does bring a smile to my face to see that dog.

[@georgegarcia566]

Man, Monty is FOCUSED! That last Logitech mouse looks pretty sharp…

[@demirelnes]

I just realized I have been looking at the dog instead of you the whole video

[@tabbycat406]

I like how Aaron doesn’t just reuse clips from his other videos, and how he puts a lot of effort into every segment of his reviews.

[@CGR89]

Monty out there just LEARNING

[@muneeb-khan]

Monty is the greatest reviewer, so dapper.

[@pinkvixen686]

Your doggie is adorable❤️

[@han-tangchen206]

The fact that you make all parts into one video is very incredible!

[@lydiaw]

yes, pitaka's folio case really works well and the standing angles are killing!

[@Mathieu3424]

Yeah but there aren’t any version for the 11 inches iPad Pro m4

[@nunyabz9494]

@@Mathieu3424 it's still new, give it time, for me a favorite is definitely the esr case for ipad pro m1 where i can make it stand vertically

[@navinchandradat9463]

Is it an issue with there being no protection for the edges? I want to get in and maybe grab a sleeve to stick it in so I know the edges are protected

[@embs1717]

This video is a lifesaver. I was debating buying a new laptop to replace my poor early 2015 MacBook, so expensive…but I already have replaced my old defunct iPad with the M2 air… I’m hoping accessories like these will make my iPad thrive, saving $$!!

[@Inpreesme]

Monty is truly a silent asset to these videos.

[@ElsatheNewf]

Love my Zugu case. I’m really hard on cases, so I just replaced mine with a new Zugu after 4 years, but it has protected my Ipad like a beast.

[@Therandomviewer1]

I absolutely appreciate you not beating around the bush and deliver concise information without filler. Best product video I’ve watched in a long while. Keep it up!

[@arielspalter7425]

The dog’s just sitting there staring at you with admiration 🐶

[@RudyOMP]

Monty takes his job seriously

[@Onrain20]

So one thing to note and this is for the pitaka folio case is that the clasp for the Apple Pencil actually has a spot to sit behind the iPad directly when not in use so it doesn’t just flap around if you look at the amazon listing for it one of the pictures does clearly display that.

[@geeairmo]

Fantastic Overview of some great accessories! As Always, I love the unbiased recommendations based on his findings.....

[@kaveman_4242]

Whenever I get a new situation because of a new job or changes at home. These are the videos I look for when I look for the accessories to fit that new lifestyle change. Also anyone think the volume is a little low?

[@kateb7803]

Love your dog !🐶

[@user-gt6to6bm5t]

I LOVE THE DOG!!!

[@gotechakash]

14:43 that eye 👁️ roll 😂

[@de_stroyed]

Please start testing other accessories such as the ROG Ally, Steam Deck, Lenovo GO cases and accessories that would be perfect to go alongside with them (i.e screen protectors, thumbstick grips, and battery banks that would last the longest with these devices). I have been a follower of this channel since less than 20K subs and would be really nice if you guys expanded to other things too. Would be right up your alley since these devices are all to take with you anywhere and to be *mobile* with.

[@Daniel1603]

Please,review your dog

[@suzannesardinha6337]

They way Monty looks at you ... #goals

[@123andresgc]

I’m a simple person. Monty recommends. I buy.

[@romgtr]

I have an IPad Pro and my case has a built in hub that has a bunch of ports and an 1/8 inch headphone jack. I also uses a pen/stylus that has a rubber end that I got from the 99 cent store. Works just fine. 😊

[@kaynwells6936]

Considering a new iPad now. This helps

[@Justanother1ne]

finally straight to the point, professional, enjoyable, thanks a lot, really appreciate, you're the best

[@kekchanbiggestfan]

Kuxiu just released magnetic iPad stands with built in Smart Connectors for charging. Would love to see a review on those!

[@cr1ses]

Wow, such a great Video! So much test in only 16 minutes. Brought some accessoires with your links. Thanks!

[@Catelynmeow]

(See update below - I was wrong) If you recently purchased the new 13" iPad Pro, be careful when purchasing ESR accessories (cases, screen protectors, etc). They were listed as 2024 13" iPad. I purchased three different ESR accessories for my new iPad, and they were ALL older accessories for the 12.9" iPad pros, and the boxes simply had a label covering the area on the boxes that said "2024 12.9" iPad Pro." UPDATE: I emailed ESR about this issue, and they replied: “Thank you for reaching out. We appreciate your purchase. I am sorry about the wrong labels. All items are designed exactly for iPad Pro 13 inch 2024. We assumed Apple would name the item iPad Pro 12.9 before the iPad is released. But the date for the iPads are accurate and the cutout is on the right side. Please try the items on the iPad Pro 13 inch 2024. They will fit without a problem. If there is anything else we can assist you with, please do not hesitate to contact us. Sincerely, Fanny, ESR Support Team “

[@troigrl]

I purchased the ESR magnetic screen protector for my 11 “ pro and it fits perfectly

[@TheArcangel912]

Yea me too tho the box was for the old one for some reason but the item inside was for the new iPad Pro

[@WhiteHawk77]

Not surprised, so many are being lying scum on Amazon saying the old case fits the new iPad too, as if they are the same dimensions. 😡

[@LOUDERthanU]

Drat. Just ordered a cover. I originally ordered the otterbox product fromApple and it was rubbish. The cover over the charging area was loose and the pencil kept falling off. I may just have to wait for the new zugu.

[@Kjk-lb1ox]

I got the glass screen protector…correct size came but install method sucks lots of bubbles and I’m usually really good at it

[@dplj4428]

is your dog real❤ it sits so quietly by your hyper energy? I do enjoy your presentations.

[@inhaleexhale]

Love that Pitaka case! I don’t have it, but I have a similar design, except it folds horizontally, which is how I use my iPad most of the time. On the iPad keyboards, I was shocked to see the logitech is $259.

[@memesNmusic]

Thanks for sharing, love your videos! When you said about the Apple Pencil pro deep dive “check out the card” I didn’t see a card, I’m on KZbin iOS app. Is it possible to add the videos to the description, please?

[@purple.4955]

Tech knowledge is through the roof, but why is no one talking about 'em gains🔥🔥🔥 Way to go for all!

[@anapapiol8877]

Honestly I have to say its the best review I have seen. HONESTlY beyond all and thank you so much for trying ALL of those products just to share your options and opinion with us. Thank you honestly.

[@mezzaninebrown]

I’ m very confused about what the ESR screen protector product I received actually is. You recommend glass film over tempered glass and that is what I prefer after my previous experiences with tempered glass . But after trying to reconcile between the box in my hand and website descriptions, I’m very confused about what I actually have I received, what I ordered through your link, and if either of those are actually telling me the exact item that you recommended. I can’t find anything that is obviously a model number on the packaging and I don’t want to just start sending you random numbers from a box ha ha. As I understand it, I should have a glass film product, not a tempered glass product. Nowhere on the box does it say anything about being glass film. However, it does say tempered glass all over it. It does have the term “Armorite” on it though twice. I feel like I’m back doing SAT prep Because I cannot ascertain whether all armorite products are glass film, or all glass films are armorite? Just so where i m coming from his clear, I really dig your videos have always been more than impressed with your opinions, being corroborated by my experience. This was the first time that i was in need of more than just a single item, so getting the new iPad i just fit it out per your suggestion and I actually bought four of the items you suggested along with quite a few others to support the channel. 🎉🎉 so please excuse me if I sound like a disgruntled customer I’m not I’m just confused. Is there someway that you could provide a distinct model number (US if that makes a difference) for that would identify the product that I have received on my hand as the correct version that you recommend? I mean, if Armou right indicates that it is undoubtedly what you recommend I’m fine with that. It’s almost as if marketing has made all words meaningless though lol. And just to clarify you recommend glass film not tempered glass? I really appreciate any clarification that you could offer.

[@imanny87]

Came for the information, stayed for the good doggo 😊he’s so calm lol

[@machitect]

I wish someone who isn’t a pilot would review the Pivot case.

[@BlairSlavin]

Will you be updating the links to the Keybaord Cases and Screen protectors that work with the new iPads that have the camera at the top and the magnets match up.

[@AKD2022]

Are The stylus works with the new ipad air y m2?

[@sophiawatkins902]

I can confirm Zugu is the best. I’ve had my ipad for 3 years with the case which has not faltered since. I am considering a new case for cheaper but I am not in a rush because the Zugu case still has life.

[@jenniferul1800]

Could you make one for the new ipad pro 2024 please? Looking for a magnetic stand that works with a case!!

[@angiericouard792]

No corner protection on an iPad case is wild to me. 9 times out of 10, when mine falls it lands on the corner.

[@nicolefernandez7792]

Have you tried USB hubs with displaylink, suppose to support dual monitors

[@jaleelshaw]

I didn’t come out of this thinking you actually recommended any of the cases. Is there a case that you recommend?

[@vonnnvoyage]

Best review I’ve seen! Quick, honest, no bias! 🔥💯

[@mohamedsayani2414]

What are the best kids cases for ipad 10th gen? Also doing a best ipad kids cases comparison would be really good. Thanks. Your videos are always very informative and useful.

[@richardalbury]

I love the Combo Touch - in fact. I’m using it now - but it has a really annoying flaw for me when tap-to-click is enabled: it doesn’t disable the trackpad while typing, so I’ll be typing away, my finger or palm will brush the trackpad, and now I’m typing somewhere else.

[@kjit7]

Wow I mean WOW you’re the best reviewer I’ve ever seen thank for your awesome work

[@anthraxhehehe]

Is it possible to cover non-case keyboards? I got the Zugu case you recommended so I need a stand alone keyboard. Do you have suggestions?

[@محمد-ظ2ذ9ذ]

The best one reviewing products i ever seen

[@rg975]

Always love these types of videos!

[@kekchanbiggestfan]

I really like the CalDigit SoHo dock. It has a removable cable so you can use a really short one or a really long one depending on what you need, plenty of power passthrough if you also want to use it with a Mac or something. And it supports 4K60hz output! I find a lot of docks only support 4K30hz and because iPadOS favours refresh rate over resolution, you will usually only get a 1440p image when using an external 4K display!

[@QueersandSteers]

I knew I wanted the Combo Touch, but I took home the Magic Keyboard just to try it out. After 3 hours testing it, I ordered the Combo Touch from Logitech’s website with my 15% off lolll. The Magic Keyboard is SO heavy, and I want the versatility of removing the keyboard. I’m worried about the hinge, though…can’t say whether it will last or not…

[@rhite139]

I am an artist, and I find the best for drawing and getting that paper like feel is actually the Rock Paper Pencil by Astropad. it's magnetic and doesn't have any bumps in the middle of the screen, but it's the absolute best thing next to the brand Paperlike that I've used. I like it better than Paperlike actually.

[@LazyOGkid]

Love the dog tie 😂

[@nunyabz9494]

i think it's good to add that ESR products is cheap in price, so it's definitely on the value side.

[@steffanyulanday9865]

Does the stylus works with ipad air 2024?

[@sinisakalicanec6823]

Thank you very much for helping me choose things for my new iPad Pro 13”

[@EyesOfByes]

Metal GPU backplate would be my go to anti-snap protection

[@walterpetersen7217]

Super high quality video. 10/10

[@syedabdulhalim23]

Damn. I subbed right away. Dude saved me a lot of time & most importantly money.

[@cruiserdude16]

Would those styluses work well with an iPhone?

[@Victoriaward]

Such a great summary

[@samesaw]

Fast to the point reviews, Awesome

[@Bobbydoesarchery]

Does that ESR Digital Pencil Pro work with the M4 iPads?

[@michellevo285]

i was actually focused on the products this whole video as intended. it was to the point i thought the dog was a plush toy until i read the comments.

[@gabrielaamaral1120]

I watched all of it just for the dog lol

[@angelaliu1274]

Really good review, concise and informative ❤

[@christieswann1949]

Per the Pitaka Amazon description, “NOT compatible with 2024 iPad Pro 11 inch.” Anyone still get it and it works?

[@taesang5664]

i’m planning on getting a new ipad and i was choosing between the m1 and m2 airs. the m1s are like 200$ cheaper now in my country and the only real downside that i see is the storage, which isn’t too much of an issue for me because i’m fairly modest with my apps. funnily enough though, i could never bite on the m1 completely because the new sage color of the smart folio just looks absolutely stunning on the starlight, and as far as i know full compatibility will only be reached with the m2 air (i think you could still use it with the m1 but the magnets aren’t going to be completely aligned idk). anyway, the sage was really messing up my decision making and i was seriously considering spending the extra $200. BUT i know any case from apple is notorious for getting ruined very early on in its lifespan and so i still had reservations about that. so thankfully i saw this vid and saw the pitaka case. went and checked and it’s available in my country. yay! so it looks like i’m sticking with the m1 and it’s thanks to this very informative video. the pitaka is also a bit more cheaper than the folio case so that’s nice. hopefully it doesn’t get ruined as easily as well lol

I can’t find mous ipad pro 2024 case. Is it available? The link shows cases for M2 versions.

[@machitect]

You had me at Pitaka lol

[@LeggyCam]

One thing rn too that I’ll say is that if you’re a student there’s a big sale going on. I just got the 11” air m2 and got $100 off it, so including tax it was like around $570 something. But they also gave me a $100 gift card after that purchase so I went ahead and got the pencil pro for like $30 some bucks. The Magic Keyboard for a college student just seems like a ripoff and is way too inconvenient for me to bring to class when I already have a laptop and just want something like the Logitech combo, so I just went with that and saved a whole bunch of money. So if you’re a college student and you happen to see this comment, I think the sale ends like end of September, so it’s something worth looking into.

[@RoberttSmithh]

I tried googling glass film vs tempered glass but i cant find a difference?

[@natashataylor881]

Thank you! I was able to buy the two stylus that you recommended for the iPad Pro 13. I used the link 😊

[@andrewkim6037]

Just ordered my first iPad, so this video is super-helpful. Thank you!

[@lord0h]

Is the 35w charging works on the 11 inch model ?

[@thanos8726]

I don't understand why a person should buy a pen without pressure sensitive . you can use your fingers or a capacitive stylus to write (the rubbery one) at that point. I think if you want the pen you should get the apple pencil pro or the best one supported by your ipad . you will not regret it . The ability to draw , taking notes with pressure sensitive , rotation , haptic feedback and the double tab is crazyyyy useful . Btw thanks for showing me the zugu case seems so cool :o pretty useful video 😎😎

[@LovingAtlanta]

👍🤩💝 Thanks and I always love seeing Monty. 😍🤩💝

[@ferdinandbardamu3945]

please add a section for iPad stands, including cooling stands

[@Carsonchildersmusicnow]

Do you know of a pro level or quality USB C hub for the iPad Pro that HAS a headphone jack but does not have a large lip on it (so it can be used with a variety of cases)? That's what I am missing here.

[@justmemimi7338]

I have a solution for using a stylus on a glossy screen: silicon tips. Cheap, and allow a better writing experience, while not dulling pictures of our fur and feather babies.

[@jenelleguerrero]

Wtf, this video was sooooooo informative & well rounded. I usually have to watch a video focusing on each category specifically & watch a couple different KZbinrs for each category to get differences of opinions. Amazing work 🔥🔥🔥 & your dog, Monty?, is so adorable & well behaved 🥹😂

[@michaeldemellia6951]

Thanks for all the great videos. I always come here first before I make any purchases. I appreciate the amount of work you put in and your style of presentation. Thanks. Ordered an ESR glass film protector for my iPad Pro through your link keep up the good work.

[@Manan_Agrawal056]

Please make a review for the best rugged case for ipad pro. I would like to be at peace knowing my expensive ipad is safe from drops and shocks while its in my bag.

[@Guitarbarella]

Fav iPad case is the combat case from UAG. If you can get your hands on one. Not compatible with the new keyboard on the 13 but best for drawing

[@rammahesh7]

You're doing a great work ❤

[@dhunter70]

Zugu- another design flaw is that the front cover (inside) is lay down on a table,etc- pick up dirty, debris, etc, close it and it'll be on the iPad screen. Big no-no for me haha.

[@gotechakash]

Seriously! The best video out there! Thanks

[@holoheart9352]

Love your videos so much. Thanks for such a good video again!
