Raspberry Pi:
The Raspberry Pi® is a single-board computer developed in the UK by the Raspberry Pi Foundation with the intention of stimulating the teaching of basic computer science in schools. The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer that plugs into your TV and a keyboard. It’s a capable little PC which can be used for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and games. It also plays high-definition video. The design is based around a Broadcom BCM2835 SoC, which includes an ARM1176JZF-S 700 MHz processor, VideoCore IV GPU, and 512 Megabytes of RAM. The design does not include a built-in hard disk or solid-state drive, instead relying on an SD card for booting and long-term storage. This board is intended to run Linux kernel based operating systems.
As typical of modern computers, generic USB keyboards and mice are compatible with the Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi use Linux-kernel based operating systems.

Case:
Adafruit Pi Case- Enclosure for Raspberry Pi Model A or B
Using this case is very easy and works with Raspberry Pi Model A, Model B rev 1 and Model B rev 2. This enclosure is not compatible with the Raspberry Pi Model B+ Snap the Pi into the case bottom for a secure press-fit. If you want to poke around you can leave the top cover off. If you want to protect your Pi, fit the cover on, it will fit securely so you can put the Pi into your book-bag without worry. There's a slot for a GPIO ribbon cable so you can connect a Pi Cobbler while the cover is still on, and remove it easily as well by popping the top off. Please note: this case is not compatible with our low-profile microSD card adapter.
The Pi is press-fit in the case so when removing the GPIO cable, make sure to either fully remove the Pi or hold it down so it doesn't pop up.
*There is a DIY slit in the top of the case so that a Pi Camera Module ribbon cable can be fed through and attached directly to the camera interface port*
