I need help finding accessories for my new iPad 2

I am looking for an adapter that will allow me to output my screen (video and audio) to my HDTV.

And I need recommendations for a bluetooth/wireless keyboard. I am hoping to get something for less money than the ones on the apple site.

Just about any Bluetooth keyboard should work. I haven't seen many full-size keyboards that are significantly less expensive than Apple's, and buying Apple's would be less headache should you need support from Apple in getting it to work, so I'd suggest staying with Apple unless you have specific needs in a keyboard.

what is everyone's opinion on screen protectors for the iPad 2? Are they necessary? Is the screen scratch proof?

No screen is completely scratch-proof, but I've had two iPads since they were first released, using them extensively, and have never found any need for a screen protector beyond a normal case.

Regards.

You just paid top dollar for your iPad. I don't cut corners on accessories myself. The cable for outputing to your HDTV was designed by Apple and at a minimum, is the one I would buy. As to the wireless keyboard, I personally really like Apples wireless keyboard, but you can google wireless keyboards and find a plethora of them. If you check Best Buy and in the search bar enter iPad Accessories, you'll also find several options.

The screen is not scratch proof. So, you can scratch it. I tried a Zag screen protector on mine and absolutely hated it, so I took it off and currently my screen in naked. I typically take 'uber' 'super' care of my toys, so I'm not too concerned about scratching my screen. But, at some point, I will likely order PowerSupport's Clear film for mine. I really like the fact that PowerSupport film does not require solutions to be installed (it's a static mount film) and while you can get it in anti-reflective, it will (IMHO) diminish the readability of the larger screen on the iPad.

Anyway, just my .02 worth......

for screen protectors ClearPro ULTRA is the way to go. its all I will use. check it out. www.clearprotector.com. Its lifetime warranted too. I have it on my ipad and its just like the glass. there is none better. I have their ClearPro CARBN too. its carbon fiber for the bezel and back. its SICKNESS! check it!

I plan to get the Zagg keyboard/case combo. Hard protective case, bluetooth keyboard in the same package to make the iPad kinda like a tiny thin laptop.

Could be worth looking into.

I have hte apple keyboard and it works fine. I think my only issue is you have to set the iPad on a table or whatever, then have the keyboard separate....great at a desk or table, not so great in more casual situations.

I tried the zagg screen, but installation is a witch. I have a generic one on there right now even though I keep the ipad in a folio case. It's almost more for ease of cleaning rather than scratches...you get finger grease on the screen all the time. I may eventually put the zagg on but it was very tough to install.
