So i'm planning to get the basic 16G WiFi iPad. What accessories should I get up front to have it function: Dock, Camera connector, Case etc?

I will want to be able to get my images on it as easy as possible. Any one have the case?

I have no case, and I won't be getting one. If you don't plan on taking it out of the house daily I don't really see the point.

If I buy anything it'll be the camera connector.

We'll be buying another iPad sometime soon to replace the wife's iBook. Absolutely love the things.

Good suggestions Zwei.

I would go with the camera connection kit for sure. Case like what Zwei said unless your gonna take the iPad out of the house you don't need one - than again how can the iPad get you chics if you don't take it outside laugh

Link to Accessory Geeks for iPad , they have just about everything.

Pro Tip: Do not worry about screen smudges …it will drive you nuts if you try to keep the screen smudge free. I used to hold it by the edges as much as possible when I first got mine. Just grab the thing and go.
