I got the Note 2 for use with note taking so I use mine every day.
Other than that, I take it out to mess around with and tag pictures. I also do a lot of support for Android devices so the screenshot feature + tagging with the S-Pen makes my life so much easier.
There aren't enough worthwhile apps to really take full use of the S-Pen that don't have to do with notes or drawing.
There are some "games" that support stylus use. Maybe you can use that.
Either way, you still have a great device. Biggest screen and faster processor than most phones out there.

For drawing. I do a lot of it. I use sketchbook mobile for hours a day at work when everything is running smoothly and I have nothing better to do. If you don't draw... notes only I guess. I use it to Mark up photos on the job Site too, which everyone at the office is amazed with because it clarifies everything really well when explaining problems.

I do network diagrams as part of my job, and it comes in handy when I have to draw something out for the techs and don't have the actual diagrams available. Need a Visio editor for Android, though, that would be real nice. I have also found it useful to take a screenshot of a map and annotate positions of equipment, satellite aiming, and other things during site surveys.
Pretty much never. I bought this beast of a phone for the screen.

I make my shopping lists with SNote and use the pen to scratch off items as I put them in the cart. I also use the Square card reader to accept charge cards, and the pen works better than a finger for signing.

I use as a mouse when Web surfing.. Especially those drop down for a drop down menu
Jotting down little notes when out and about (the biggest use I get out of it) it's been many of times I needed to write down something and didn't have a pen, paper, nothing in sight

I used to use it much more than I do now that we have a Samsung Keyboard Autocorrect hack that works in S-Notes. I can honestly thumb-type faster than I can hand-write and all the text is searchable. It is good for scrawling down the occasional phone number on the fly but the autocorrect is amazingly accurate. However if I were a student or in a meeting I would hand-write much more so as not to annoy everyone around me with frantic typing.
You can get the autocorrect baked in with a rom like Whompasaurus Rom V2.7 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2039564).
I do use the pen quite often as a pointer though. Nice for clicking tiny links or web surfing without smudging the screen.
I am looking forward to the Note 8.0. It should be just the right size for hand-writing and thumb-typing.
** Even though I no longer use it much, I like that fact that it is THERE if I need it. It's like having a car that can go zero to 60 in 4 seconds. 99% of the time you don't need the power but when you didn't see that semi in your blindspot and you need to get out of the way you are glad it's there.

I guess the key thing about the pen is it just adds and extra layer of functionality to your smart phone. It makes your smart phone smarter.

I have been using it more lately. When I don't want fingerprints on my screen I use it and I'm using it more on my Swype keyboard since it makes it easier. Plus it's awesome to edit pictures or screenshots.

When I first got my Note2 I thought I would never use it, like it was a novelty. Your exactly right it makes this 5.5 inch beauty smaller and makes my job a lot easier and fun lol
