ESR iPad accessories

If you’re trying to build a cheaper iPad “computer alternative” setup, ESR’s accessory lineup is worth a look. In this video I focused on the Shift keyboard case and Geo Pencil, but the bigger takeaway is that you don’t need to pay the Apple tax to get a solid student workflow.

Pros

+More budget-friendly alternatives to first-party Apple accessories
+Options that still cover the basics for student workflows (typing + note-taking)

Cons

-Features vary by model, so you need to double-check compatibility
-Some accessories may rely on Bluetooth and separate charging instead of Smart Connector
