Apple are rumoured to be working on a 12-inch iPad Pro, designed to be the ultimate productivity tablet. That’s not available yet though, so for the moment the best you can get is the iPad Air 2 with some suitable accessories. That’s why today we’re going to look at just that – some of the best productivity accessories for the iPad Air 2. Let’s go!
5. Olixar HexStyli 6-in-1 Stylus Pen
A good stylus is important for scribbling notes and sketches, but why get just a stylus? This HexStyli from Olixar combines a stylus with five other functions: a pen, two screwdrivers, a ruler and a spirit level. It’s a handy tool to keep in your pocket or bag, and at such a low price it’s an easy sell.
4. Plantronics BackBeat Go 2 Wireless Earphones
Sometimes the difference between getting work done and getting annoyed is a good pair of headphones. These in-ear headphones provide excellent noise cancellation, allowing you to concentrate on the work at hand, even in crowded or noisy environments. They’re wireless too, so you can swap quickly between your iPad and your mobile, and go without the annoyance of a cable. The BackBeat Go 2 also includes a microphone and in-line remote, so you can easily take calls on your mobile, Facetime or Skype.
3. Olixar Metal Tablet Prop Stand
A good tablet stand is invaluable, and this example from Olixar is one of the best available. The folding design makes it highly portable, while the metal design is both durable and stylish. Whether you’re at your desk or working on the train, you’ll be glad to have the Prop Stand.
You can also use a desk stand like this one in concert with software like Air Display, Splashtop XDisplay and iDisplay to turn your iPad into a secondary display for your Mac or Windows computer. This is a great way to keep your iPad useful when you reach the office and start using your laptop or desktop.
2. Olixar enCharge 15,000mAh Portable Charger

Having a portable charger is useful for recharging your gadgets on the go, but the iPad Air 2’s massive internal battery presents a problem: most portable chargers simply don’t have enough capacity to recharge the Air 2 fully, and don’t provide power fast enough to make recharging convenient. The enCharge solves both of these problems with a tremendous 15000mAh capacity, which allows two full recharges, and a rapid 2.1A charging rate, allowing full-speed charging. The impressive capacity of the enCharge also means that you can charge a second device – like a mobile phone – at the same time.
1. Kensington KeyFolio Keyboard Case
Typing on an iPad’s screen is okay, but if you’re writing for than a few sentences you’ll want something better. A laptop-style keyboard is ideal, offering real tactile response that makes it easy to write quickly and accurately. This keyboard case provides just that, with a comfortable full-size keyboard tucked inside a convenient stand Air 2 case. Another bonus is that when you’re using a Bluetooth keyboard like this, the on-screen keyboard doesn’t appear and you have much more screen space to use. In combination with a slick executive look, that makes the Kensington KeyFolio the ultimate productivity accessory for the iPad Air 2.
