Agreed that the Newegg deal is great for those who can take advantage. One small warning -- the RPi3 recommends a 2.5A USB power adapter which is more than iPad chargers (and WAY more than most cellphone chargers) put out.

The case that comes part of the kit <https://thepihut.com/collections/raspberry-pi-cases/products/raspberry-pi-case> is wonderfully straightforward and simple (though I will always have a soft spot for the hand-done ones Scott made some years back.

Still, would be a good day to buy one, as there was just an official announcement of booting without an SD card today: https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/pi-3-booting-part-i-usb- mass-storage-boot/
