Raspberry Pi with its LCD Touchscreen and Camera Module

My Raspberry Pi 2 running with its LCD Touchscreen and camera module. It is running the latest PIXEL OS. It is technically upside down here in the photo so I have added a line to its config boot file to rotate the display 180 degrees so that the camera stands at the top now (the case has a small slot to hold the camera). This is V2 of the camera which is 8 megapixels.

It was pretty quick to assemble and everything is in the box. I got the touchscreen case with it. So all I had to do on boot up was connect power and my keyboard. I have installed the onscreen keyboard but I need to see how that will pop up automatically. With the Wifi dongle in, I could in theory use this device now with just a power source, which makes it a bit easier without needing a monitor and cable. By default the touchscreen already worked like a mouse with drag-and-drop, click etc. Everything is accessible from outside of the case (including a flap that lifts off) all except for the microSD card - I had to open the case again to fit my card inside. So no quick swapping out of SD cards with this case.
