iMainGo2 or iMainGoX

This little box packs quite a punch as far as speakers go.  Not only it is an incredible speaker, it is a perfect protective box for our rowdy little ones! Check out the review by CNET...this is a quality accessory for any iPod/iPhone user (including mom and dad!) The iMainGo 2 is the lesser expensive of the two and sells for around $39.99 on amazon.com.

Big Grips!  
Need we say more?  This iPad case is AWESOME!  Lightweight, squishy (Gumby-like material) and colorful (blue, green, pink or grey).  Stood the test of our kiddos (floated to the top of the pool ... iPad was only minimally damaged, bounced when dropped out of the wheelchair, etc). 
A stand can be bought separately.  Retails for $34.99 for the cover and $49.99 for the cover and stand.  Sold for iPad 1 and iPad 2.

Extra 10 Watt USB Charger for iPad
I can't tell you how many times we've left a charger in a hotel, at grandmas, in a restaurant, etc...The value of having an extra iPad Charger is tremendous.  For less than $8, this is a great buy, and worth it to have as a back-up.

USB 10 Watt Power Adapter for iPad
BUBCAPS  
This great little sticky stops toddlers (and big kids who like to push buttons) from clearing the iPod/iPhone/iPad over and over and over and.......

A four pack of   will cost you between $5-7.

The only thing worse than a non-verbal kiddo not having a their own device is the device going dead halfway through their school day and having to stay a cord-link away from a computer while it charges.  

Here's the answer...a Portable iPod/iPhone charger.  Charge this little guy and drop it in your child's backpack and when their phone loses it's charge halfway through the day, they just plug this portable device in their iPod or iPhone and off they go!  This charger sells for $22.95 on Amazon.com.
