Hello
I'm using Scetchpad a lot and are now waiting for Photoshop Touch. I see the need for a stylus in the near future.
Anyone know of a good one?
(i've heard the cheap ones have to much friction and have to much resistance)
Thinking of buying this one..

I have it. It's fine...nothing earth-shattering, but solid.
I use a Wacom Bamboo, not cheap but bloody good IMO.

i am using targus.
Works great...
I just ordered an Adonit Jot Pro. I'll let you know how well it works when I get it.
http://adonit.net/product/jot-pro/
I ordered a cheap set from ebay and they were ****, ends were too rubbery and marked the screen protector so be careful which ones you get.
The Adonit Jot Pro is easily the best stylus. It has a clear plastic disc on the tip (instead of a dollop of rubber), so the user can write defined points and lines. It also has good weight to it, which aids in control (better than writing with a hollow plastic).
Also, it comes in a gunmetal gray color-- which kinda matches the xoom.
It is very expensive, though. I ordered mine with fast delivery (because I was so eager to try it). My cost: $46
The Targus is pretty cheap and works great. I got mine from Best Buy.
Stylus
Rocket Fish brand is junk. I had one for about three weeks. Even though I keep the screen clean with a microfiber cloth, the tip got glingy after a while from picking up the grease from my finger tips.
I'm on a Targus now. Had it for three weeks, and it's still working well, though it's starting to get glingy as well.
Interested in hearing how the Adonit Jot Pro works out.
BTW-- Definition of Glingy. Not able to scroll anymore. When you touch the screen and slide, it just selects the first thing it comes across.
Adonit Jot
Ok. For those of you interested in the Adonit Jot....
I have looked at several reviews on youtube about it, more paying attention to the quality and accuracy of the writing, then the opinion of the reviewers. Finally decided to give it a shot. I ordered one of the Adonit Jot's last night, should be here tomorrow. I will post my opinions Saturday night.
I did the Adonit Jot instead of the Jot Pro. Its $9.99 cheaper, allowing me to use the
difference to purchase a package of replacement tips as well. I have already tried a Rocket Fish and a Targus. The Targus is best so far for daily use, for swipping and such. Basically things that don't require a high degree of accuracy. The Jot should be much finer, for writing and drawing. B
UPDATE...
Amazon dropped the ball. It didn't ship until today and won't arrive until Monday. At least I got my shipping charges refunded.... Disappointed though, as I was looking forward to playing around with it this weekend.
Thanks for the recommendations everyone. I am going to surprise the wife with the Adonit Jot Pro and see how she likes it. She wants to start getting away from using the laptop for notes and such when traveling so this should work out well. I will post how it worked once it is in hand.
I wanted a different name, and had to create a new account. Bobbydiv is no longer used. Update, the adonit arrived this morning. It's awesome so far, but only been able to play with it for a few minutes. Will post my opinions tonight.

Adonit Jot
So, as promised. The Adonit Jot is awesome. Though I'm still getting used to using it, it writes as smooth as butter. There is a little bit of getting used to just how much pressure to apply, but it doesn't take long. One thing that I did notice though. As smooth as it writes, you quickly get used to it as if your writing on paper, and start to let your hand settle like you would on a paper.
It's not a replacement for an everyday stylus. For scrolling, selecting, etc... I still recommend the Targus stylus. For writing and drawing however, I have found no equal. It truly is an amazing stylus. Check out YouTube for some user reviews and video's of people using it, and you'll quickly see.
Hmmm... I've been looking, and I'm not a huge fan of using those massive rubber tips. I was thinking something like this one.
http://ostylus.com/
Has anyone had any dealings with this one?
I just want to say that I purchased the Adonit Jot stylus and it's awesome. It gives the closest approximation to using a pen that I have experienced on a tablet, and is much more enjoyable to use than any other stylus or my fingertip for drawing. I recommend it. I didn't get the Pro version...don't see a need.
I have tried at least 6 different rubber tipped styli out there and they're all about the same. Nothing compares to the iPad Eco Stylus or Sylus Socks Pro from ShapeDad.
I'm new here so I can't post the link but just search on Google for iPad Eco Stylus Shapedad and you'll find his Esty store site.
These are handmade and I have converted seven coworkers to them. Once they tried mine they all went out and bought their own.
I would highly recommend them!

I've been looking into getting a stylus? What are your thoughts? Do all of them have round blunt ends? this is the one I was looking at...
http://www.wacom.com/en/Products/BambooStylus.aspx
Yes, they all have round blunt ends. Some are better than others but there's really nothing you can do about it with a capacitive screen.
You are never going to get anywhere near the accuracy you would get with an active digitizer. Also, you'll never have any sort of pressure sensitivity.
so personally, I don't think it's worth it but I'm probably not the best person to give you advice. I am user of windows tablets with active digitizers(wacom and n-trig) so I will never have any respect for capacitive styli. then again, they're pretty cheap and they do work to some extent so I guess you can't really lose.
I'll stick with my fujitsu t5010 for now and I'll probably get a fujitsu q550, motion computing cl900 or asus ep121 soon. If I really wanted to take notes with an android tablet, I'd get the htc flyer(it has an n-trig digitizer) but the note taking software for android is really quite pathetic compared to something like one note for windows.
don't get me wrong here. I'm a huge fan of android. I actually write android tablet apps for a living. there's a lot of things android tablets do well but note taking is not one of those things.
Just make sure you get one with rubber tip and not foam.

The HTC Flyer + stylus has pressure sensitivity. I have both these tablets and I like them both, but the Flyer is my favorite.

That's because the flyer has a n-trig active digitizer. The galaxy tab, however, certainly does not.
I use a Targus stylus from time to time on my XOOM and my Galaxy Tab 7.
The primary advantage for me is fingerprint reduction. Its nice to clean the screen and have it stay clean for a while. Try eating Pizza and poking your tablet's screen with your finger!
Accuracy is better with a stylus, however in terms of speed, fingers are generally faster.

OK, I just bought two on your recommendation... (hope you aren't a spamer)
haha... Not a spammer. Don't worry.
All my friends have bought tablets in the last few weeks and I got em all some of these and they all use them. Even when they pinch to zoom they use one finger on the screen and the stylus.
You'll like it. It's very precise and matches the build quality of the targus one.
You can make a good stylus out of an aluminum pen or hollow aluminum tube (from a telescopic mirror or an antenna) and some conductive foam squeezed into the end. there are tutorials on youtube. You should be able to get the foam from a computer supply shop or you can order it for cheap on ebay
the Dagi Stylus P501 looks like the one to get
find them on ebay

picked up an official Samsung stylus.

I just bought a 2 pack for 5 free shipping. So, yeah, it's worth it even if I use them once.
I have the samsung stylus in hand. Super smooth. Makes getting around the swype keyboard a breeze. I might be more accurate with it than my finger.

Hey, I'm looking to take some notes on my tab and was looking for some suggestions. I've found a couple cool programs but need a pen.
My noted are almost all math related so equations and such.
Any advice would be very helpful.

When it comes to capacitive stylus, I believe price is a good signal of quality. I have tried both high end (e.g., boxwave) and low end (generic, bundled with other accessories), and the difference is very noticeable. Good luck taking math notes.... I am an economist and my note-taking involves math too. You are going to have a hard time getting good results. I tried doing this, but had to go back to my clunky convertible tablet to get the results I needed. Unless you get a slate with a digitizer (like the Flyer or the Thinkpad), you are pretty much out of luck.
Your not out of luck... just need this!!
As u guys know capacitive stylus have a very wide point so that it can be recognized by the device, therefore affecting precision. Thankfully some people already came up with a solution. U have to options.
1) DIY fine ponit stylus with materials u can find in ur house... for FREE:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHhB2BF5yQM
I found a blog where someone made a more precise intructions .... but I don't
remember the site!
2) Someone took the idea to kickstarter and now they are commercializing there
version of a fine point stylus.... only that it cost around 20-30 bucks:

Will take a look. Still in the market for a tablet. I like tthe 10.1 but would be better if I could take notes.

The Dagi came first than the one i showed u guys... but I've read some reviews and they say that it's hard to get used to because w this one u have to write w a certain angle for it to work at its best.
That sucks.
I made my own last night. I'm not good at that kinda stuff so although it worked, it was a little off.
I need one so that I can take small notes on an image of a form, but it just didn't like writing small. I'm wondering if that's the case for most of them.

You can probably do that using Sketchbook Pro. Just import the image, zoom in on where you need to write, merge the layers when done and save.
I too am looking for something to take notes on. I bought a Flyer and it was pretty inaccurate. This is one of those things where if it isn't done right it will be horrible experience. My best suggestion would be to wait for the Samsung Series 7 Slate. I know its pretty expensive but look at like this it can replace your laptop.
The 12.1 Asus eePad slate (Windows-based) gets good reviews on the note-taking area.
first of all: out there are a varaity of stylus for your tabs and phones. the regular capacitive pens you'll find for a buck or two on ebay are the same as the ones cellphone companies sell for like $20, does are just like using your finger and are only good for people with big/fat fingers since they cant type on keyboard well and other stuff like that without hitting the wrong key. but some genius chinese guy invented this wish you can make at home by yourself without any money:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHhB2BF5yQM&NR=1&feature=endscreen
but also two companies took this idea and patented it, and here are the results
Dagi:
P501 and P502 (old method with just stylus)
P601 (old method with ink pen in one end and stylus in the other)
P504, P505, P506 and P507 (new idea, very acurate, just like a pen or pencil)
(the P504 comes in 9 different colors)
P602 (new idea, very acurate, just like a pen or pencil- and also an ink pen in the other end)
Adonit:
Jot and Jot Pro (The best out there)
I have a Dagi P504 and an Adonit Jot Pro. I use the on my Tab on Sketchbook Pro and other Drawing and Note-Taking apps. They both are very good but the dagi does not have a cap so the point can bend in a backpack or something and the adonit jot pro is very sleek in desing and has a cap. Its up to each ones likes. I paid $18 for the P504 and $30 for the Jot Pro. I bought them on ebay. You can find all of the styles on ebay.
You can find all of the styles on ebay.You will find The Dagi from $15-$30 depending on styles and the Adonit from $25-$45
The idea from the guy on the vid works great too
NOTE: I have the Galaxy Tab 10.1 Galaxy 10.1 owners: You must have root on your device and use TouchScreenTune (free app that fixes your touch screen sensitivity). Otherwise the writing will lag. Link below:

Motorola Stylus pen with Precision Tip
On Motorola site, it says that a Stylus pen with precision tip is becoming available soon. By its picture, it seems that it is indeed precise. On the compatibility tab, it says it is compatible with XYBoard only. Is XYBoard touchscreen different from Xoom? In my opinion, if it is compatible with Xoom, it is compatible with the SGT 10.1, isn't it?
Here's the link for the pen: http://goo.gl/1y6Pb
Hi guys. I am really interested in buying one of these.
http://www.dodgybastards.co.nz/bluetooth-keyboard-case-for-10-1-galaxy.html
I was wondering if any of you guys own this? If anyone does would you mind giving me your opinion on this case?
There seem to be next to no reviews of this case out there whereas there are a lot of reviews about the zagg and Logitech cases. Unfortunately those brands oonly sell cases for ipad here in new zealand. Thanks
I own this and am quite happy with it. Looks good and the keyboard is a joy to type on.
Two things I'm not very happy about are weight (unavoidable, I guess) and, mostly, that there is no way to use it with the tab in portrait mode. Oh, and I think it is a tad too expensive.
I would have bought the Logitech, if only I could. For the portrait mode. But I don't at all regret having bought the Samsung.
You can see the thing in action on Youtube (mind you, in Italian). I was going to post the link but, as a new user, I can't. Search for "Tastiera originale Samsung per Galaxy Tab 8.9 e 10.1"

thanks for your reply mate, really appreciate it. yeh its a tad expensive isnt it, thats why I wanted some opinions before buying it. I never use my tablets in potrait mode, unless I am reading a comic which is very rare. the 10.1 just looks silly in potrait if you ask me lol
Also, I usually prefer to have it on my lap rather than on desks, does the stand sit stable on laps? because the stand kinda looks weak and unstable. I know it'll be fine on desks and tables but does it slide around when in your lap?
The stand is indeed very flimsy. OK for a table or desk, provided we don't push or pull the keyboard. As for a lap, I hadn't even considered it. Well, I just tried and... no. Absolutely not.
It is sort of possible to forget about the stand and leave the tablet flat. Requires one hand to hold it or it will hit the floor in no time. Not practical at all.
After I bought the Samsung case, I saw a Logitech look-alike on Amazon UK. I wouldn't really risk buying one now because: 1) I already own a very nice keyboard case, and 2) the only sellers offering it have appalingly low ratings. Still, if it works as advertised and one could find a reputable source...
Again, no links. But try searching for "Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard Aluminum Case for Samsung Galaxy Tab10.1"...

hey thanks for the link bro. I've owned similar cases for other tablets before and I really dont like the rubber keyboards on them.
oh and I went ahead and bought the samsung keyboard dock instead of the keyboard case. the dock is great. since it has got the 30 pin connector, the tab slots right in and you dont have to worry about it falling. and most importantly the dock sits stable on my lap and I can type just like a normal laptop. it doesnt move around. I really like it
omg that one is too expensive dude..
maybe you can check Apple bluetooth Keyboard.. quite good man. it's light, good materials and 100% compatible.
Logitech bluetooth keyboard is a very good choice aswell.
good luck bro.
I have the Zagg case and it is pretty great. I also have the Samsung white keyboard which is almost perfect except that it will revert to the Samsung on screen keyboard after using it . This is a pain since I use touchpal.
The new OEM keyboard case looks handsome but not as useful as Zagg.

Yes, it can. There's four little rubber stops that keep the keys off the screen when closed that double as feet when fold the keyboard under the way you described. And while yes, it's pricey, it's the slimmest, best fitting, and best made of the keyboard cases out there.
I purchased the official case cover a few days ago from Samsung. I am shocked about how few reviews there have been online. I could not find a decent video review. I am hoping that the build quality is decent, as my Zagg keyboard (Zaggfolio) broke - the space bar no longer works. I will probably take the replacement keyboard they sent me and sell it on ebay.
By the way, I saved 15% by using the coupon code: Samsung#1 on the Samsung.com website and got free next day air shipping.

Here is my review of the Samsung OEMKeyboard case.
Pro's
Very light, form fitting, well designed. Easy to type on.
Con's
No touchpad, no sd port, no built in battery, pretty expensive, cannot really use effectively in the portrait mode.
Overall, this is clearly superior to the Zaggfolio. .. but pales in comparison to the Asus Transformer keyboard (which is the same MSRP).

Just got this case today and I must say I am completely happy with this purchase.
It literally turns your tablet into a laptop.
Duqjag complains about not having a touch pad however the entire screen is a touch pad which would make a little square panel obsolete and difficult to use.
My only quarms with this keyboard is the left shift key being so small that you'll find yourself with a lot of \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ on your screen when trying to capitalize a letter.
Also if there were a way to make certain trigger keys customizable this would enhance the experence too. e.g. the mail button opens the mail app as opposed to the google mail app. Internet button opens the stock browser as opposed to Opera or dolphin.
It stands up on almost every surface without issue and if you fold the keyboard over it also acts as a bottom panel to keep the screen in a face up position.
Vertically it doesnt work but do laptops????
Fork out the cash I say and enjoy the ride. As tablets get better internally, 10.1 will still be a dimension samsung keeps using so i can confidentally say that this case will be transferable to newer models.
Hi,
I've got the Samsung BT-Keyboard-Case here in Germany for a really affordable price - 57,- €, and it is worth every cent. The look and feel of the case is noble, but durable, and when I carry it arround here at my college the I-Thing-users get possessive.
It has a built-in recharable battery which lasts for some 3 days. I use it flipped over as a night stand at my bed, listening to Tune-in radio, I work with it every day, and the cover protects the case perfectly.
The only con is that it doubles the weight of the pure tab, but I really can say that I am happy with it and would always buy it again.
I am looking for keyboard as well, want something nice, shineny neath, but inexpensive. (Not sure it does exist )
Are those aluminum bluetooth keyboard on ebay and amazon so useless? Any suggestion pls.
If i can not find any good review on those no brand keyboard i might have to buy logitech and it costs fortune

Is anyone using a stylus with the A100? There are times I would prefer writing or tapping things out with a stylus instead of my finger.
I tried this stylus because it actually claimed to work with the Iconia Tab when I bought. But it was unusable and I sent it back. (I could pretty much get a lighter touch and more accuracy with my fist.)
So is it the nature of the screen that a stylus won't work well? Or did I just pick a bad stylus?

My experience with two different styluses (neither of them is your model) is that they are:
1) - inaccurate - impossible to hit a precise point on the screen.
2) - choppy - cannot draw a continuous straight line in a drawing program.
So for me, a stylus is a complete waste of money. $40 in my case
Personally, I think it's the screen.
I bought a $10 stylus, and it sucked on it.
Then I helped fund the "Cosmonaut" stylus on Kickstarted, so I got one of those for free, and it is absolutely incredible, but it doesn't work on the A100. It is choppy when I draw, like it isn't always conducting.
But when I use it on my phone, or on my sister's iPad, it works flawlessly.
That's why I think it is the screen.
anyone find a working one?
Hi all curious if anyone found a working stylus? I use adobe touch and a working stylus would make my life tons easier? Can anyone confirm if the screen is the real issue? Thanks!
I purchased the Acer stylus official, I must say it is quite accurate, and with the right pressure can make almost a straight line. But the screen is a bit 'too sensitive, should be calibrated.

I haven't used many. Most look very bulbous and are enough money that I haven't been willing to try one. The only Stylus I have purchased are the cheap little ones for the Nintendo DS. I payed $4 for a 3 pack of them. They are TINY, but they telescope so you can have one in your change pocket and forget its even there. They have a fine tip but not all that soft. what I like is I can use it to pin-point click small buttons and links easily with them. For less then $1.50 each I like them allot.
I use a cheap Inland Bluetooth mouse at home. It was less then $15 at Fry's and works fine with our device. It makes a nice sort of a remote when watching movies on the TV and the mouse pointer works great for controlling the interface. The scroll wheel works wonders to navigate lists. It also has yet to use up the first pair of AAA batteries I put in it a few weeks ago.

Hi sudo
Do the styli from the 3ds actually work with the A100 then? I tried my DS lite styli but they didn't work at all, didn't think they would, I sld my 3DS a long time ago so can try with one of them at the moment

I bought one at the source for 10$ works great on all my devices

Hi all,
I'd like to start a bit of a revival in this thread as I'm really craving a decent stylus right now, for a long time I was an expensive fountain pen and notebook guy, still am for some things, but since ICS and me being used to my tablet on my person it's so useful, but I can only type so quickly on a touch screen that I miss shorthand.
Here is a link that surfaced for the iPad, it has a great gamut of styli, http://www.theverge.com/2012/4/10/2925937/best-stylus-ipad-review
I'm wondering what the cosmonaut is like with ICS and build.prop modifications, have you tried this mitch?
For writing consider Adonit Jot - it has some problems (skipping) but they are easy to fix (free replacement discs or conductive greas or... toothpaste) - you will find more on Asus Transformer forum, there is a guy from Adonit answering all questions too.

Thanks for the tip, I've read that the adonit is the most precise by far, so perhaps this could be a good choice, I can buy them over here in the UK too

$80 for the Carbon.... DANG! ...and it doesn't look like it has eraser.
Yeah, was waiting for this to drop today but it still says coming soon on the black one. I can hold out a little bit longer.

hmm looks like they only ship to the U.S..no canada love
oh well it should show up on ebay soon!
I'm watching this too, but I will wait until some reviews come out
In my haste to order a stylus, I ordered one from Amazon and thought I chose the note 10.1. Instead I grabbed one for the regular note. Worst part is... I ripped the box trying to get it out. Now I have a $38 stylus that doesn't work. Why can't I use an Intuos one... those look nice and comfortable.
I ordered one from the Wacom site since it doesn't seem to be available elsewhere in the USA. I should get it early next week and I'll post some impressions. I assume it should should behave just like a s-pen but have a more comfortable feel since it is more pen like.
Eraser or no?

Oh nice! I've been hankering for a fatter stylus.
Never mind... I made a total NOOB mistake. I forgot to turn off the "battery Saver" in pen settings... now the pen works. WOOT!

Sweet deal on the white ones.
Thanks
I purchased the white Bamboo Feel pen/stylus from Wacom and received it Friday, after using it over the weekend I can say that I like this pen much more than any of the others I have tried. It feels very balanced in the hand, and the tip/nib had a very nice feel to it much like writing on paper, even with a screen protector on my Note 10.1.
I have tried many others, the stylus that came with the Note, an old pen enabled stylus, the pen holder by Samsung and even though these stylus worked fine, this Bamboo Feel, came out the winner. It tracks perfectly, feels great in my hand, and most of all, feels most like using a regular fine quality pen on paper.
I like it so much that I am going to spend the extra money and order the more expensive carbon fiber one, just for the added weight as I like using a heavy pen when writing on paper. The weight on the white one is fine, it is heavier than any other stylus I have tried ( see above) but I think I will like the carbon fiber even more as it is twice as heavy according to the specs.
This stylus does not have the eraser on the end, if this is something you prefer.

Awesome! Does it come with replacement tips? I know the OEM Note 10.1 stylus has a hard plastic and a 'rubber' tip.. not sure what the bamboo one has..
I just received the carbon fiber model. I really like it. I tried the S-Pen Holder but didn't like the feel of the plastic tip and unfortunately that can't be swapped out like on the s-pen. The bamboo stylus FEEL comes with the rubber tip installed and has replacement tips of rubber and plastic. The weight of the pen is nice and heavy - like a fine pen. This should make note taking much better (and I already thought it was good). The obvious downside is the high price. I would have gone with the black version, assuming it was priced the same as white, but it isn't available yet.
Question: is it possible to use this pen with a note 2 and note 10.1 simultaneously?

I can't see why not. There isn't any device programming done to the stylus, so it sold be able to be used with multiple devices no problem.

This makes sense, but for some reason I have found I cannot use the note 10.1 stylus on the note 2, or vice versa
