I just usually go for the aftermarket accessories and sales items. You can end up paying just as much for accessories as you do for the device, especially when it comes to Apple products.
Yesterday, I picked up a metal Ipad stand for $9.99. It gets the job done and is solid. It sure beats the $69.99 for the plastic stands on the shelf.
Some of the prices for Apple accessories are Insane. They sell a MagicBar for your MacBook that does nothing but prop up the back end. They want $69.99. You have got to be kidding me. Go to the hardware store, get a strip of 2 guage aluminum piping and some felt strips. Total cost -- $2.99.
The only accessory I paid for at cost was the third party magic cover.
