Over the past week, we've been sharing some of the favored Apple-related accessories that our editors and writers use on a daily basis, but we also wanted to highlight the best products that our readers and forum members use on a daily basis.

We asked for your suggestions in our MacRumors 2015 Holiday Gift Guide Master List post, and then organized those picks by category. We're going to keep building this list, so make sure to mention your favorite product in the comments and we'll add it to the guide.

We've organized this list into categories by product and added a short description of each item.

iPad

Apple Smart Cases - Apple's Smart Cases are available for the earlier iPad minis and iPad Air 2. They offer full front and back protection for the iPad, merging a Smart Cover with a protective back case. There's a similar case for the iPad Pro, but it only protects the back of the device and needs to be paired with a separate Smart Cover. With prices starting at $69, Apple's Smart Cases aren't cheap, but they're high quality and make for a nice gift.

Logitech AnyAngle iPad Air 2 Case - Also a pick from Arnold Kim, the Logitech AnyAngle iPad Air 2 case offers full built-in protection and multiple viewing angles for watching videos or typing. Arn says it's a bit heavy and bulky, but stable enough to allow for typing on the screen and versatile enough with the adjustable cover. There's also a version for the iPad Pro and the iPad mini 4. The AnyAngle for the iPad Air 2 is priced at $60 and it's also available from Amazon.

General

Pencil from FiftyThree - There's an official stylus for the iPad Pro, but it doesn't work with other iPhones or iPads. While there are a lot of styluses to choose from, FiftyThree's Pencil is a standout that was recommended by a MacRumors reader. The Pencil integrates with a bunch of iOS apps, including FiftyThree's popular Paper app, offering pressure sensitivity and palm rejection. It's priced at $50 from FiftyThree, but available for as low as $40 on Amazon.

Astro Bluetooth Speaker - The forum member who recommended the Astro Bluetooth Speaker liked it for its Pure Audio feature that controls distortion through hardware instead of software. The Astro Speaker is slim and attractive with a price tag of $179.

I have the K811.

It's awesome. Looks great on the coffee table and can't even remember the last time I've had to charge it.
