Hi all, just ordered my Galaxy Note 2 and am now looking for what accessories I need. Would I just need a case or is there anything else I would need. For all you lovely people out there who already have one. Products and suppliers would be much appreciated

I've just looked up a bit about the Note 2 and whilst not owning one myself did do some extensive research on it when looking for a new handset.
The Note 2 has corning Gorilla Glass - much like the iPhone and many other top-end Android devices. If you are unfamiliar with the term Gorilla Glass, it is essentially a take on mobile phone screens that make them very resistant to light scratches and damage. I've had Gorilla Glass on my Motorola Milestone 2 and on my current Motorola Droid Razr, and neither have suffered from scratches. So I daresay a screen protector (or case with a screen protector attached) may go amiss. That said, a case for any phone is a great idea if you can find one which is in your budget and you like the look of. The Note is a big device and whilst built quite well to hold in your hand, would drop like a brick if it falls out of it. So something to give it some "bounce" may be a wise investment!
I would also say that because the Note series uses a stylus, purchasing a pack of them from somewhere like eBay for cheap might not be a bad idea. I've had plenty of devices with stylus, and always end up loosing them at one point or another! I have done a quick search for you and the link below is for two stylus' for the Note 1 for £1.29 inc. P&P. Now as I don't own either a Note 1 or a Note 2 I cannot say whether they will fit in the stylus holder for the Note 2, but for £1.29 I doubt it would break the bank if it didn't.
