machines and switch still not updated with educational discount. Should I trust apple delivery? Their pickup not available already/yet...

Went checking at Machines/UR in pyramid and seems like their preorder really still not updated for educational discount yet. So I decided to buy it through Apple store. Need to confirm this tho, if I'm getting the magic keyboard, I dont need to additionally get the smart folio right? because the keyboard itself will kinda act like the folio to protect the ipad? Or do I still need a folio for protecting the keyboard instead?

Sorry if question might sound dumb as this is first time I'm getting a tablet/ipad. Kinda need one to be used in the uni I recently enrolled to for reading online textbook and writing notes etc.

When I choose the option of deliver, the ipad itself is 2 days later than the accessories. Can I set the delivery too all come at same day or they must be separated?
