Hope somebody makes a mini-case for these. I picture something like a cheap, small, powered USB hub that you open up, drop a Zero into, and go. Maybe expose the MicroSD Slot and have shortie cords inside from the hub for data/power and a full-HDMI adapter built into the case. Then maybe a knockout to expose GPIO pins if you solder a header onto it.
Hmm, maybe I need to see what is on the market already that might be adapted to such a purpose. I don't really even need the card slot exposed or the HDMI video/audio for most projects. I just need a power supply and ports for a WiFi dongle and USB sensors.
Very interesting!

$5 is really a low price. Can't be beaten. But you must consider that it requires a microSD card, a WiFi dongle, a monitor, a mouse/keyboard and most likely a real computer to program it. So saying that it is a $5 computer is not totally true. But I will surely buy some

Considered VNC (Virtual Network Computing)? Unless you are trying to make it into some sort of dancing bear toy PC to show your friends you'll probably run your RPi0 devices headless anyway.
on Brasil will cost R$300+
Some people want to make money.
By the way: Today I ordered 2 more Pi 2 for 32,50€ each (free shiping) here in Germany
on Brasil will cost R$300+
I saw a picture of a Raspi dedicated magazine that bundled the zero on its latest issue, you should check It out
that's the maket laws at work.... wait it out a few weeks, and as soon as the demand decreases, so will the priceSold out everywhere
I ordered 4 copies of the magazine lol
I would start with a Pi 2 (50€ with power adapter and WiFi-Dongle). It is powerfull and has all the connectivity.
when looking for "buy pi zero" I bumped onto this page that compares C.H.I.P. vs Pi Zero, the C.H.I.P. seems even better.
