If you’ve got your eye on picking up either a Microsoft Surface RT or Surface Pro, you’re likely also going to be getting one of the optional keyboard covers offered for it. The big decision you’ll have to make is picking between the Touch Cover and the Type Cover. At a glance they can look pretty much the same but after using each for a few weeks, I now think of them both as dramatically different accessories.

If you own an iPad, the two best accessories you can get to enhance your experience are a case, and a keyboard. I have recently been spending some time with the ZAGGkeys PROfolio+ Keyboard for second, third and fourth generation iPads.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is an interesting little gadget. It sits somewhere between a smartphone and a tablet and does so in such a wonderful way, it is a wonder there aren’t more products like it.

These days you can play video games on almost any gadget it seems. I’m a big gamer myself. I love console gaming, PC gaming, even mobile gaming. One of my favorites over the past year has been gaming on tablets. A lot of gamers don’t realize it yet, but tablets are fantastic for gaming. There are so many great games you can play on them - the formfactor means you can play virtually anywhere, they have nice big screens compared to smartphones, and the touch controls can facilitate some unique game-play mechanics.

Samsung’s Galaxy note lineup has been picking up steam as of late. It seems to have really struck a chord with its novel stance putting it somewhere between full-sized tablet and smartphone. They’ve just announced their latest model featuring an eight inch display and retaining the S Pen stylus and apps that made the note series popular in the first place.

Maybe you’re stuck at work, or you don’t have a big TV, or maybe you just want to let the kids play video games on it instead. Don’t fret, there are still many other ways you can catch the action, no matter where you are, and even if you can’t get to you or anyone else’s TV.

It's the one gadget category where I find that cases are really essential to the experience. I can’t imagine carrying around my tablet without one. In the last few years I’ve become a bit of a tablet case aficionado.
