Just picked one up for my wife and wondering what are some must have accessories. In particular:
*Case
*Keyboard (or keyboard/case hybrid)
*Maybe a dock radio, but they look pretty goofy to me

Anything else worth picking up to complete the gift.

Thanks!

My favorite accessory so far is the Adonit Jot Pro. A really precise stylus that I purchased by backing them on Kickstarter. It is very precise and the build quality of the stylus is superb. You also don't have to worry about the nub wearing off like other styluses.

Actually, lovely idea since she loves drawing for fun. I'm sure it's no wacom but for $30 worth a try :)

Yeah, definitely not like having a Wacom tablet attached to a computer, but it works rather well with different apps like Notability and the plethora of sketching apps that are out there. Wacom also made a stylus for tablets, but, in my humble opinion, it is the jot has receives more use from me then the Wacom stylus.

My Wacom Intuos 4 is Bluetooth...makes me wonder why they haven't made an app for the iPad yet. Painter iOS, please!

at first I thought I would need some screen protectors but FAIL, i ordered some and they were terrrrrrrrrible, I still use them on my phones etc but I've had an iPad2 since launch and zero scratches using it naked, feels better too.

I'd say just a good case, I went with a CaseCrown standby I believe it's called. Utilizes the smart cover feature and can be used as a stand in two different ways as well. All i could need and adds protection too!

If a real jailbreak gets released anytime soon, the camera kit. The SD card slot can be used for external media storage on jailbroken devices. You can also use (some) wired USB keyboards with it.
