Along with the Bluetooth-enabled iA100 dock, iHome showed a slim iPad case with built-in speakers, a color-changing dock for the iPod/iPhone, and a portable iPad speaker/dock.

The iD M70 faux-leather iPad case (above) functions as a 6-position stand and uses patented NXT flat panel stereo speakers for a thin-profile case that packs a serious volume punch for the package. The case has a secure closure, openings for easy access to any needed iPad ports, and a built-in USB cable to charge the speakers’ lithium ion battery. The case will retail for $99.

The iA17 iPod/iPhone docking station features a color-changing orb-shaped design that allows lights to pulse to the music or function as part of your alarm. The dock works with the company’s free iHome + Sleep app, which gives users more features and increased control over alarm clock and wake functions. The iA17 includes a remote control and has a line-in function for playing music from other devices.

The one thing stopping me from buying a new iPad
Three 2021 iPads are stacked on a table.

Want an iPad? Apple wants you to be paying attention to the new iPad Pro -- and for good reason.
