When it comes to cooling accessories for the iPad Pro, several options stand out for their effectiveness and design. Here are some of the best cooling accessories available:
X-Naut Cooling Case
The X-Naut Cooling Case is designed specifically for iPads, including the iPad Pro, and is particularly popular among pilots due to its ability to mitigate overheating in extreme conditions like direct sunlight. This case features built-in fans that circulate cool air to the iPad's hot spots, ensuring optimal performance. It is powered by eight AA batteries, which provide over 10 hours of use, or can be connected via a micro USB cable. The case is lightweight, weighing only 9.7 oz without batteries, and is compatible with various mounting systems like RAM and MyGoFlight. It also includes a battery test button for easy monitoring[1][2].MyGoFlight CoolCase
MyGoFlight's CoolCase is another notable cooling solution, featuring a single high-pressure fan with a brushless motor that efficiently cools the iPad by drawing in outside air and expelling hot air through exhaust ports. This case is designed to be durable and adaptable, allowing users to upgrade the cooling components when switching to a new iPad case. It includes a leg strap for use as a kneeboard and is compatible with various iPad models. The CoolCase is priced at $329 and does not include a mount, which must be purchased separately[2].IceCase by Qore Performance
The IceCase uses a different cooling approach, employing a condensation-free chemical cooling block called IceBloq. This block is inserted into the case and provides conductive cooling, keeping the iPad at a stable temperature for up to two hours without batteries or fans. The IceBloq must be chilled in a freezer before use, making it suitable for longer flights where access to power might be limited. The IceCase comes with a sunshield and knee strap, making it versatile for different environments[2].TEESSO iPad Coolers
TEESSO offers a range of iPad coolers, including the X80 and 30W models, which are designed for gaming and high-performance use. These coolers use semiconductor technology for fast cooling and are equipped with RGB LEDs. The TEESSO X80 has three cooling modes and can reduce the iPad's temperature significantly, making it ideal for intense gaming sessions. The 30W model features a powerful radiator with three cooling modes and can be attached magnetically or with straps, providing strong thermal conductivity[4][7].AirJet Solid-State Cooling Chips
Frore Systems' AirJet solid-state active cooling chips represent a cutting-edge technology that can be integrated into the iPad Pro to enhance performance significantly. These chips are silent, thin, and provide a substantial increase in CPU and AI performance, making them ideal for gaming and high-demand applications. However, integrating these chips requires modifying the iPad, which may not be feasible for all users[5].Each of these cooling accessories offers unique benefits depending on the user's needs, whether it's for aviation, gaming, or general use in hot environments.
