Anyone who has purchased a new car in recent years is aware that it's not always a picnic trying to es-
cape the showroom without the salesperson trying to get you to part with a few extra bucks. You can
only imagine what the markup is on roof racks, navigation systems, and rear-seat DVD players.
We don't suppose you'll get a hard sell when you snap up a new iPad at an Apple Store (or else-
where). But Apple and many other companies are happy to outfit your iPad mini with extra doodads,
from wireless keyboards and stands to battery chargers and carrying cases. So just as your car might
benefit from dealer (or third-party) options, so too might your iPad mini benefit from a variety of
spare parts.
One thing is certain: If you see a Made for iPad label on the package, the developer is
certifying that an electronic accessory has been designed to connect specifically to the iPad
and meets performance standards established by Apple.
We start this accessories chapter with the options that carry the Apple logo and conclude with worth-
while extras from other companies.
