I saw these stylus pens on amazon http://www.amazon.com/Capacitive-Cellphone-Motorola-BlackBerry-AMM0101US/dp/B0053NBLFW/ref=pd_cp_cps_1....looks like it works with different smartphones. It could become handy for doodling etc..
Anyone ever tried one before? Or could recommend a decent one? TIA
I bought a 6pack of capacitive stylus, they work on my et4g, evo, and kindle fire, and they work better than my finger. I use em for taking notes on my phones and drawing on the fire, or phone if I'm really bored while waiting for an appointment at work.

I bought the black one at Staples for $14.99.
Thanks for the info guys! Definitely gonna go buy one then...or a pack. I've been playing Draw something (addictive) game, and it's difficult to use your finger to draw anything.. Lol. Plus I think it's a good accessorie to have..

I only got the 6 pack cuz we got 5 androids in the house and a Samsung series 7 windows tablet so each device got it's own stylus and I have 2 with my kindle fire cuz one of the Androids is a note so its got its own super pimp s pen that thing is cool as hell, u cab draw/write with one side and erase with the other and it learns multiple styles so if more than one person uses it it will adjust to each persons style based off of small things like angle its held against the screen and pressure used to contact the screen, but that's wacom for you they have some seriously sophisticated touch pen technology, If the note/journal or something similar comes to sprint it may just be my first Lte device

be careful when using those when you write on an angle though, you can scratch your screen if you press too hard with the metal part

There are lots of capacitive styli out there...you'll find plenty of online reviews. The main differentiator (besides cost) seems to be how thick the tip is.

This is exactly my idea. I personally don't care for them, but I do have one for my larger iPad. I have one from BoxWave which I bought on Amazon for about $10. It's nice and sturdy and was only about $10.
Or make your own:

If you're planning on doing a lot of drawing with a stylus, can I go out on a limb and recommend a galaxy note instead? It's got an amazing wacom surface which makes using a stylus much much more precise and usable from what I've read.
Not major amounts but I'd like to be able to do some on my phone every now n then, acase have got one called acase freehand which looks quite good for drawing

i'm not much of an artist, but i do use it for "draw something" and it's miles better than my fat fingers.
Adonit jot is the most precise stylus i ve used so far.
If you are going to use soft tip they are going to wear out within a few months so no point in spending more money on them. I use these cheapos and they work well for me on both the SGN and iPad while playing Draw Something.

This stylus was on sale there for $9.99 before. Can be had on the net for $9.99 for those interested.
And to confirm the OP it is a basic and nice stylus.

Ya, Amazon sells those same ones in bundles of 10 to 20 for about a buck apiece. I opted for a bunch because lots of kids with touch screens and apparently the tips don't last forever -- at a buck apiece, disposable makes more sense.
I also remember trying to buy a $5 HDMI cable at best buy, and they had nothing for less than $40.... this is why they are going out of business... 2000% markup? no thanks.

Best Buy is over priced, but I am part of reward zone and every month or something I get a $40 certificate to use in store, so that's the only reason I bought it there

I've tried several cheaper styluses, including the pogo sketch and some cheap no-name ones from TJ Maxx. They all had some annoying issues with build quality or registering taps. I ended up splurging on a bamboo stylus and I'm much happier with it. Although it seems like the digitizer on the KF has issues with slow diagonal gestures resulting in wavy lines when using sketchbook pro.

I just received these about two weeks ago. I think it is awesome. First, no more smudging, second, now I can actually write like I normally do with the app that lets you record your handwriting. Third, it's a package of 5 for less than a buck. Who can be mad with this. And lastly, the tip is not super rubbery, so it slides smoothly.

Does the Note's S Pen work with the Galaxy S3?
Nope, s-pen is an active digitizer. There isn't the same tech/hardware in the g3 as there is in the note
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Go on eBay and search Galaxy S3 stylist, and you can get one that works for the S3. The price range is $. 99 to $29.99. They have some almost identical to the Notes S pen, for one just like that you are looking at around $29.99

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
There is nothing for the S3 that will be comparable to the S-pen on the note. The C-pen is decent, but it's not going to be as precise, or responsive as the S-pen.

Is the c pen more accurate than one of those ball tipped sylus pens? I have one of those and it writes very broad lines
Click to expand...

The c pen is definitely more accurate than the ball stylus pens due to the slim tip so you can actually see where you are writing. The only problem with the c pen is that it will occasionally not register as touching the screen.
I bought one because I take a lot of notes using S memo and I had an extra $20 bucks laying around lol. So if you can spare the cash I would reccomend it over the ball stylus pens but just know that it will only work for the s 3
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Either that or i'd just get an Adonit Jot stylus....
I just use one of the ones that have a rubber ball at the end.
C-pen didn't work out for me, because it's design a little bit fat. I guess, that's the only way to have stylus is to buy Galaxy Note Series . And also they have wacom grid, which can sense pressure.
good info

C pen is so expensive. How little are you really gonna be clicking? S3 doesn't have the special touch screen built in like the note so the pen gets bigger or smaller from how hard you press anyway. Any cheap stylus will work great. I got a laser, flashlight, chrome pen, and stylus in one for like 6 bucks at Monoprice. Works better than I dreamed.

lol oh man almost a year later, but here it is http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=112&cp_id=11201&cs_id=1120105&p_id=9719&seq=1&format=2
At least now I can give a mini review. It works great as a pen and I use it whenever I have to sign something. Stylus tip still works fine and always has no problem with responsiveness. Only thing that sucks is the flashlight and laser died fast. It's all chrome and black so it still looks nice, but I have no idea how to put a new battery in. I even called and asked them, but how they said to do it was still impossible.
Hey gang, this may be a dumb question but I was wondering if I buy a stylus pen would it work for the GS3? the thing is that I wanted to get the GN2 but not enough money. I draw a lot and saw the capabilities of having this feature on the GN2 so I was wondering if I get a pen would it work for the GS3.
Have you googled it? I'm sure if it is capable it will be searchable.

Any stylus pen will work. You can buy them for about a couple of bucks from amazon.
Better yet Samsung make special pen just for galaxy s3 called "C pen". It has smaller tip like S-pen for G-note. It's $30 but if you register with Samsung, they will send you 50% off coupon.. But you can get from amazon too for $15.. Here is the search result link. Also Samsung link...

Thanks everybody. I even tried to take my GS3 back after a month to trade with the GN2 but no can do. I will try out the C-Pen and hopefully that'll work.
Its just that I draw a lot and especially in my anatomy class. I use those pictures to study while I'm at work. I wish I got the GN2. I got the GS3 because it was on sale, dang it. But I still love my GS3. Best phone for me coming off the Thunderbolt.
You should read some of the reviews on YouTube and Amazon before you plunk money into it. The general consensus is that it isn't very good especially for the price paid.
