Get a case. One of my cases opens up and has a strap for your hand to make it easy to one-hand the kindle. The other case will auto turn on/off the kindle as the case is opened. I kind of wish I had a hybrid, but either one of them is better than no case at all.
Other than that, I've been a happy Paperwhite user for some time and don't really use any other accessories, other than the power charger.
Case-wise I went for Amazon's own. Magnetic closure for auto-on/off, slim, comfortable to hold, pretty solid and durable. (To be fair, there weren't many other options back when I got my Paperwhite.)
It sits in an outside pocket of my daily laptop bag so it's exposed to a fair amount of knocking around (and sometimes moisture if it rains) during my commute. Hasn't failed me in 2 years: no damage to the Kindle, no marks on the case.
Unlimited probably isn't necessary, especially if you're new to building up an ebook collection. I'm pretty sure there was a post here recently from an Amazon employee (ex or current) saying he felt Unlimited wasn't worth it due to the "bargain bin" level of most of the content. That said, I've never used it myself and to each their own.
There's plenty of free, cheap, and public domain content available both on Amazon and elsewhere. You can learn to sideload non-Amazon books pretty easily. (Though personally I've never had the need.)
Also: For more popular books (those with an actual cost!) start building up an Amazon wishlist dedicated to ebooks. Use eReaderIQ to import said wishlist and track prices. The site will email you whenever a book drops in price, either by a particular amount or past a threshold you set. This is the primary way I buy popular books that normally retail in the $8-13 range -- I have plenty of content to keep me occupied in the interim, and I'll snag those more expensive books when I get an alert that they've dropped to the more reasonable $3-$5 range.
