Samsung Galaxy Note 2 sports a very premium finish and uses better plastics than the Galaxy S3 but there are some people (not me) that like to add some metal to their phone by using a metal battery cover. This immediately adds some more class to the design. These cases can be bought from amazon or ebay and cost somewhere between $8-$15.
Couple of months back, we posted a review of Zenus Vintage case for the first generation Samsung Galaxy Note and we loved the detail and precision Zenus puts in while manufacturing cases for various Samsung phones and tablets.

If you hate screen protectors but still want to protect the screen, then Spigen has got you covered with its glas.t screen protector. Basically it is a screen protector made of glass.

Samsung has not released an official HDMI adapter for the Galaxy Note 10.1 but we have come to know that the one meant for the Galaxy Tab works just fine with it. The only thing not to like about it is the fact you need to have the charger plugged in for it to work.
Samsung promised that it will be releasing Jelly Bean, also known as, Android 4.1.1 for the Galaxy Note 10.1 (Galaxy Note 800) very soon and here it is, albeit unofficially. Folks at sammobile.com has made it as OTA-type download. To flash the OTA, just download it to your SD card; boot into Note 10.1 recovery ((hold down Power and Volume Up buttons together for about 15 seconds) and flash the firmware from there.
Update – See the note given at the bottom of this post.
Jelly bean will give you a quicker UI – Google claims Jelly bean’s UI runs at 60FPS; better web browser and myriad of internal improvements over the ICS Android 4.0.4. Keep in mind that the flashing will fail if you are rooted your Note 10.1 or have flashed a custom ROM. You must roll back to stock firmware and then download it to your external SD card before flashing.
