I've owned an iPad since 2010, and I have to admit, it's pretty self-sufficient. That's the appeal: one simple slab that can do everything. Or, nearly everything.

Of course, we all know the iPad has its limitations. That's where peripherals can come in handy. For instance, how do you connect a camera? What about streaming audio or video out to a TV or stereo? How do you go about protecting your investment with a case?
Here are some of the most useful iPad accessories you're likely to find. You probably won't need all of them, but you're almost guaranteed to get serious use out of more than one of them. New to the list, and perhaps one of the most impressive accessories I've seen, is the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover.
