All the Raspberry Pi accessories are home yesterday. In India there are lot of online purchase options for raspberry pi and accessories from leading online sellers like ebay.in, amazon etc... I would like to tell you from where I collected it rather than where all it can be purchased( That will be gross, since there are whole lot of providers around here)
Raspberry Pi B+ SoC
Both these sites sell comparitively less priced B+ boards than ebay/Amazon during the time of my purchase. I chose CrazyPi and got the delivery within a week of the order.
Clear Case for B+
There are better cases available in amazon and CrazyPi.com. The one that I chose was cheaper though good looking. B+ got two LEDs on the board with red and green color. FYI, A transparent/acrylic case will defenitely look geeky, than the clumpsy plastic case
SD card
Out of the a whole list of SDcards that Pi can run i just chose - Sandisk Ultra microSDHC 16GB Class 10 Memory Card with Adapter. If you need to know the entire list of SD cards supported by the Raspberry Pi, following page will be handy - http://elinux.org/RPi_SD_cards
USB Wifi Dongle
This is seems to be the cheapest wifi dongle that the B+ can run. Need some work around for installing the firmware for the B+, still range is almost similar to my Xperia mini's antenna.
If you are looking for some other options here is your handbook - http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters
USB BlueTooth dongle
Initially I worried whether it will get detected by the rPi, however even during the boot itself you can see the trace of this dongle getting noticed by the Pi.
HDMI cable (if your tv supports hdmi)
Get a cable that is fast and long enough. Ebay got more options than other stores
HDMI to VGA adapter (optional)
Ordinary HDMI to VGA converters dont work with the Pi. You can get one from carzyPi store that have Digital to analog signal conversion chip. This adapter is completely different from the regular hdmi vga converters available in ebay.
5V/750mA Power adapter ( aka your smartphone's charger)
If you want a dedicated power adapter, a NOKIA Lumia's power cable will be the easy option that can output 5 Volts and ~750 mA. In all other cases your smartphones charger will be the alternative.
