You'll definitely want a couple extra batteries.

There are some ugly "landing gear" snap-ons available on Amazon and eBay for around $10.  Just a couple of bars that snap on the arms.  Looks like they might add some protection in case of a head-on collision by protecting the gimbal and camera, but not sure.  For the price though it seemed worth a shot so I ordered them.

I was convinced I wouldn't need the controller when I got my spark. I have no intentions to do long distance travel, mostly quick shots and active track. But even Quick Shots and Active Track are constrained when just using the phone, so now I kind of want the controller. Wondering if I could return the Spark and re-purchase the Fly More, those extra batteries are a must have for sure.

Judging by the reports of people getting injured I would recommend prop guards and the controller and OTG cable

As already mentioned, get lots of batteries! I have 5 more on order which should do the trick.

I also have the RC 'pack' including the stick protector, neck lanyard, sun shade. Since I already went through 2 props I ordered 4 more.

I would say the OTG Cable and iPad mount are some of the best things, however you could try some of these ? http://amzn.to/2tnLIvF, http://amzn.to/2tnXxlJ, http://amzn.to/2to7U9b, http://amzn.to/2tnyGyy, http://amzn.to/2urMAEx, http://amzn.to/2urwpak

There are some plans on Thingiverse if you or a friend have a 3D printer. There are a few different Spark-related things on there but it will grow over time. My brother made me a nice set of prop guards:

This article on the best drone accessories may be of some use to you:

http://www.droneriot.com/best-drone-accessories/

Have you got a big enough Micro SD card? Where are you likely to be taking off from? If on sand maybe get a landing mat? In my opinion spare batteries are a must, as it's the worst feeling in the world when you have to stop flying because you've run out of power.

Hope this helps
