I'm looking to get Mage Hand for a character of mine, but I'd rather not dip into a casting class. Are there any options to get it as a spell-like ability?
There is a magic necklace that grants it, and I think there are a couple of feats that grant it a few times a day.

Ring of three wishes?
If you're willing to take 2 levels of Rogue you can gain it as a spell like ability through the Rogue Talent called Minor Magic.
You'd get mage hand, sneak attack and evasion and a boat load of skill points..
There's the trait Magical Talent, that gives you the SLA to cast a specific cantrip once a day.
The feat Arcane Talent does the same thing except that you can do it 3 times a day. It requires Cha 10 and elf, half-elf, or gnome, however.
I'm thinking about dipping one level into sorcerer instead. That would also give me a few other useful cantrips.
One level dip into Synthesist Summoner gives you extra HP, mage hand, a summon monster SLA, boosted physical stats, and access to a small pool of special abilities (works really well if you just want to skill monkey out, taking skill evolutions).

It also gives you arcane spell failure chance (since I presume your non-caster wears armor). You might go with a level of Bard instead, letting you bypass that issue as long as you're in light armor, while still getting you some other cantrips and a bunch of skill ranks/class skills.

If you have a high UMD, you could always go with a wand of Mage Hand. Cheaper than Hand of the Mage and allows you to still wear an amulet of natural armor (or whatever).
What is your character to begin with? A fighter? A cleric? Rogue? That will help in determining what the best way for you to get mage hand is.

A shadow Assassin from SGG. I'm not too keen on doing Spell Style.
ASF is solved by a mithral twilight chainshirt.
I'd rather not have to rely on items for this.
Thanks for the suggestions!
There's the Two-World Magic trait but I think you have to have a spellcasting class to receive the benefit.
