My mom just got an ipad not too long ago, so I was trying to think of a good accessory to get her for mother's day. Anyone have any recommendations for things that are really helpful?

So far, I believe she just has the case for it and I think my dad already got her some speakers.

Airport express or an appletv

Get her an iTunes gift card and help her find some apps that she'd like.

If she likes to take pictures on a digital camera, the memory card adapter for the iPad is bad ass.

I have the adapter and my ONLY complaint is... just let me view the damn pictures on the card! I don't want to import them all and/or doing a selective import when you can't see the full picture is a PITA!

Just let me browse the memory card and see each shot in all its glory.. especially on my nice new iPad 3 screen..

That's not the iOS way my friend!

Obviously you need to buy a Mac so you can view the pics on your memory card without importing all of them.

I have several Mac's and a host of other Apple items.. doesn't mean they don't frustrate me from time to time..

On that same note I also have multiple Windows machines (7 and Server) that are just as much a PITA...

My Father-in-law got my wife an screen cover/pad that attaches via magnet clip.

Its great. Not big or bulky, but a nice extra bit of protection for when we aren't using it.

Here it is (or something very equivalent)

I use mine for work, and I LOVE this case... pretty much don't bring anything else to most meetings these days.

Oh, and do my Sonos speakers or Lutron automation count as accessories?

An HDMI adapter comes in handy for displaying on a TV for larger audiences.

I use this one and it works great and only $4.50! Mine was prime eligible, so it came in 2 days shipped free. Don't waste money on the official Apple one.

Interesting, the reviews are almost all either 5 stars ('works great!') or 1 star ('doesn't work at all'). Almost all of the recent reviews are of the 1-star variety. Has anyone tried it on the latest iPad? I guess for $4 or whatever I'm not out much if it doesn't work.
