If you haven’t picked up an iPad Air yet be sure to take advantage of this limited-time $50 discount from Staples. FabricSkin deal is also available from Best Buy and includes a couple more colors.
9to5Mac reviewed several iPad Air keyboard cases and found the Logitech FabricSkin to be the winner:
Using the accessory as a case for the Air while not in keyboard mode is comfortable and convenient. Relatively, the cover (which protects the front and back of the iPad Air) is not much bulkier than a non-keybaord case built for the same purpose. However, the electronics in the accessory add some weight. The volume rocker, rear camera, speakers, and power button are all accessible while the cover is closed.
WeMo can control almost any electronic device that is plugged into the switch from anywhere. Perfect for fans, lights, speakers and more. Users can also control these devices with the included motion sensor and receive text/email alerts when motion is detected in a room. The WeMo adds an extra level of safety and convenience to your home.

9to5Mac found it to be perfect for iPad users who are constantly gaming or watching videos:
I’ve tried many Bluetooth speakers from Logitech, Jawbone, NYNE, JBL and more, and I can honestly say none quite compare to Thunderstorm when it comes to a rich, immersive sound experience for watching video on an iPad. Its a unique experience with Thunderstorm, fine tuned specifically for the movie watching experience, and it’s definitely worth your attention if much of your time with an iPad is spent watching video.

Amazon has the Belkin Charge & Sync Lightning Dock for just $24 with free shipping. That is a savings of 31% off retail and $16 below the asking price from the Apple Online Store.
Most Lightning docks on the market are cheaply made and do not have the polished fit n’ finish worthy of a new iPhone or iPod. The Belkin Lightning dock is different. It has an aluminum finish and built-in 4′ USB cable to charge & sync your Apple device. You are getting a sturdy dock and MFi-certified Lightning cable for just $5 more than an official Apple Lightning cable, a true deal. it is also $5 cheaper than the newly announced Apple dock that does not include a lightning Lightning cable and in my opinion is not as good looking as this one. Compatible with iPhone 5, iPod Touch 5th generation and iPod Nano 7th generation and presumably the new iPhone 5s / 5c.
Over 410 Amazon reviewers rate this Lightning dock a solid 4 out of 5 stars and Apple Store purchasers give it 3.5 stars.
