Apple caused a phenomenon with their recent release of the 2nd generation of the iPad at the end of March, known simply as iPad 2. Developed from its predecessor to be sleeker, slimmer, lighter and faster, the iPad 2 is the hottest tablet on the market and was good enough to bring Steve Jobs back into the spotlight. With the launch of such a device, as with all other Apple launches, a flood of accessories to compliment the iPad 2 have emerged. But with so much to choose from, how do you know which the best accessories are? So, here at eoutlet we’ve decided to put together our pick of the great and good iPad 2 accessories around at the moment and which ones are really worth investing in!
