Help with IPad purchase

I want to buy my mom a new IPad for Mother's Day. She currently has an ipad 4 and it's slow and upgrade much anymore.She doesn't watch movies on it, plays candy crush/card games, pretty much using it for basic stuff.
The Shopping Channel has iPads on sale today with extra stuff thrown in.
Is this a good deal?

I'd just get a base iPad and add a case (keyboard case if needed). The other accessories look to be pretty bottom-of-the-barrel type stuff and are just there to make it look like a better deal than it really is.

Without the extra junk added in is the price of the iPad decent or can I get a better price somewhere else? Thanks!

$549 for 32GB? No way!

Get it for nearly 200 less from the source.

Or if u have amerifriend coming up its $250us at Walmart.com

Good price for the fido iPad but I tried two stores and couldn't get it because I'm not a fido customer.

As per the website:

Apple iPad 6 32 GB at $0 down with Easy Pay® on a 2-year $15 3 GB/month tablet data plan added to an eligible Fido postpaid mobile plan (voice-only, data-only, Fido Home Phone and prepaid plans not eligible). Early cancellation fees apply. Taxes extra.

Check the model year the latest one is 2019. TSC probably selling the older model. Also, as sickcars point out that Refurbished is not bad either. If you plan to purchase refurbished at apple be sure to use ebates.ca so you can get cash back.

I guess it depends on the store. I went to a Fido Store in Upper Canada Mall and I am not a Fido customer. I got the tablet and the 3 Gig data plan
