The case you are getting is a favorite of many, including my wife. It gives good access to media and power buttons above and protects the Playbook well. I'm not big on screen protectors as long as you have a case, which you will.
I would download the following apps:
Nexus (if you have another in your network at work or home - I love this thing)
Scrapbook (post cool cards with your pictures and comments to facebook and save)
ReelPortal (VideoChat with one or more users on any PC or Mac)
Zinio (get just about any magazine on it)
Wreckless Racing (if you like that sort of game. My co-worker and I have epic races)
Enjoy the browser. I just learned why I like it so much. It is number 1 on the The HTML5 test - How well does your browser support HTML5?. Watch abc/cbs/nbc etc.
Be sure to use the Desktop Manager to synch all your music, video, pics and files you want. It also backs up your stuff weekly or monthly. For converting movies I use DVD Catalyst. It is about 10 bucks but I've converted about 20 movies. Besides their customer service is awesome.
If you are going to use it to view movies on HD TV you will need an HDMI cable.
I have used it for presentations and I got a PICO PK301 and a PICO ML300 projectors. If you want info on that let me know.
As far as accessories go I love the rapid charger and the freedom keyboard. I decided not to get the keyboard in case because I rarely need to do heavy typing on it but when I do it really helps. Let me know if you need more info on this.
Take full advantage of videochat, camera and video. I started with a 16GB and now have a 32GB and have captured many special moments with my kids. Grandma loves Bluebox (free cloud storage with military grade security) and VideoChat.
Take full advantage of you Bold. You can bridge it to the Playbook for e-mail, facebook, web. Also, it has a remote control feature you are going to love with your HD TV or with PP presentations. In it there is a Presenter option to move around your slides.
new playbook tip: Don't use the power button on top of the PB after initial set-up unless you are storing it. It takes too long to start up. Just touch the battery and select standby. To power back up, just swipe from bottom to top and it is up and running immediately.
as for what else to buy. The Jawbone Jambox is a small speaker with huuuuge sound. It is around 150-200 bucks but it can run on BT and it works great if you use a projector to watch movies (I just sit it below the wall I project the movie on and it is like being at the movies).
Enjoy
