case with stylus built in - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

like the title says, ive been looking for a case with a stylus built into it. i use a stylus often enough for photo editing that trying to remember to carry my stylus with me wherever i go was getting to be a pain......
so i took matters into my own hands and modified the seidio incipio case to house a standard pogo stylus (available on amazon for 1.98 for a 5 pack)
first off since i have verizon with the extended battery, the case didnt quite sit flush, so i removed part of the silicone.
then i used carbon fiber wrap to make a little holder for the clip on the stylus.
pretty easy to do and took me about 5 minutes. im going to give it a couple days to get use to the added bulk and somewhat awkwardness of it and report back.
what do yall think? too much? genius? waste of time? lol

Can you use the stylus on your GNex? When I tried to use a stylus my GNex (GSM, 4.0.4 stock) didn't react at all to the stylus. So if GNex can't be handled with a stylus I see no sense in a case with a stylus.

Ummmmm.... not sure how to answer that, but... it is a capacitive touch screen which means it takes a special point on the end of it. If you try to use a stylus from... let's say a Nintendo ds or palm. It won't work.
Like I said, I just got tired of forgetting to bring it with me. So the short answer is yes. It works just fine.

If the tip of the stylus works with GNex it's imo a nice idea

Wow, I must applaud a customized case like this. I'm a huge fan of customizing everything I can think of too. Currently I'm letting my imagination run wild with what I might be able to do with that water based capacitive paint, turning literally anything into a stylus. Also acts as paint-on electrical wire for fabric, skin, or any other awesome idea you can come up with for paintable wire.
Typed entirely by the witchcraft that is Swiftkey X's predictions database from my Team Kang AOKP Gnex.

OK so here is the update. After a couple of days using it I found it to be very effective and useful. The carbon fiber vinyl holds up very well and doesn't stretch out since its already been heated and set. Pocketability leaves something to be desired. I found that for the most part its not an issue but I work I had to keep it on my jacket pocket. Overall I love this idea and I hope I inspired some people to try other stuff..... maybe even a manufacturer could incorporate this as well.

[Q] Stylus? Worth it?

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.

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.
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/ET-S100CBEGSTA
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.

D3O case VIDEO review

Alright guys, I got this case as its been popular in the comunity and wanted to give it a try...this case is absolutely gorgeous...looks great, feels great and seems to be one of the most protective cases out there that lets you keep the slick look of the device BUT the bad outweights the good... my main concern were the buttons..I got into a couple of rage moments and i believe I developed new muscles in my thumb from trying to press the on/off screen.
Watch the video and make your own decision
Hope this helps you guys!
http://youtu.be/pkHHeVQgNL0
Just commented on your other video haha. You just go out and buy a million cases? Haha. But if you put a piece of paper where the volume buttons and where the power button is. It will help out making them easier to press. Just fyi

I have this case and with extended use the button areas do get softer.
Quality is top notch. And in terms of slipperyness.. its not as bad as glossy cases but definitely does not stick like rubber. This is actually a good thing because when its in your pocket it glides of easy.
Sent from my SGH-T989
yes..its impossible to disagree that the quality is just amazing..cant match it at all ,and the look is just plain great..but for the price tag I really expected a little more R&D and not having to do work arounds to use them comfortably

haha! negative, I get them as gifts or people send them to me to review them and to write an honest opinion..thats why you dont see me lying about the case hehe.
Yeah the paper thingy does work ,but my point was like after normal people (not us phone junkies) get the case, they have to do something else to make it work. And after paying 35 dollars thats just isnt fair . Now if people picked them up for free or shipping only..it hella worth it
I wish they come with a revision because if they do That will be the case i would be sporting for good
Despite the quirks, I can say that the case works. I was climbing stairs in an apartment complex, and my phone covered with this case, fell out of my pocket and dropped about 12 feet in height. Whew.. Thank goodness for this case, it survived... Very happy that I spent money on this case.
thats a mortal drop dude!!!! im glad the phone survived! yeah its a great protective case...again if they fix that little issue it ll b a winner for sure!
I tried the paper thing and three paper would move out of place or just keep the button down.could someone put up a video of how to "mod" this case

I got the all black one, and of course was before this video was posted...
What I ended up doing was taking an exacto blade and cutting along the wide parts of the buttons near where the mold for each one starts. The buttons now press with ease and the cuts are not visible.
I tried the deal with the paper under the buttons first, but it made the buttons too easy to press, they phone kept getting turned on in my pocket.
how easy was cutting around?
cutting through was easy, you just don't want to cut all the way around the button.
You only cut the longest sides of the buttons. There was an illustration somewhere in regards to the same thing.

I love this case! I have the 2 tone black back and gray front. This may sound crazy, but I'm thinking about taking it to a skate shop and having grip tape installed on the back part.
Nice review, a bit long though to make your point. I have this case and its really nice. I personally love it. I don't mind the button issue though, I have adapted. It does get a bit annoying at times, but that's only when flashing Roms in CWM. I feel perfectly safe and not afraid to drop my phone. I feel the more careless I am the less I tend to drop it. I bought mine online for $14 so it was a great deal.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?
Usually my reviews are the same length and I try to attack the same points so I can have uniformity.
I love the case and after modding it it def went up in my book however the average Joe user won't know how to mod the case

ive also had the case since basically it came out and it has also developed multiple cracks on the back. one runs from the usb port up about an inch, and others are where the buttons are, though smaller. this might be from taking it off and on every once in a while.
sighs. i have a spare one in black though, but i like this white one.
I have had mine now for 3 weeks and I love the case and hate the buttons. I am going to try the mod and see if that helps. The buttons are the only bad thing about this case.

Are these keyboards any good ?

So I got a 10.1v model, not the standard 10.1 so pretty much any keyboard that would need the tab to slide into it is a no-go for me as the 10.1v is a few milliliters thicker.
So, unless you point me to anything else, this is the only keyboard I've encountered that I could use that is somewhat "tied" to the tablet :

Did one of you guys purchased one of these ? Are they any good ?
I tried to find something but nothing...I could go with a "floating" bluetooth keyboard is the quality is better.
Thanks !
I used this one for while, until I returned it- no complaints. I just didn't need it.

Bluetooth connection is really easy, it has a fast wake up (and you can wake your device up by pressing any key [this even unlocks a non-protection screenlock] whoo!) and a humongous long battery duration.
Additionally, the build quality is very fine!

Thinking that this might be stupid / crazy..
Well, I dont know whether this is the best thread to post this.. Please let me know if there's any other thread that to which this post has to be moved..
So my crazy / stupid question is ---
Has anyone tried using the asus keyboard dock with the samsung galaxy tab ?
I think this may be something stupid becoz i am already thinking that the charging port for both the tabs are totally different and this may not work at all..
Still I am just curious to know whether this has been tried by anybody...

To answer the OP's question... I just got one from eBay for $26 US. It works very well. For that much money, it's hard to beat. Your CDMA GT should fit in it just fine. Both the keybaord and the case are good quality, and can't be beat for that much money.
I do see one potential problem, however. When the case is latched closed the rubber (soft plastic) bracket that supports the base of the tablet comes into contact the screen and does exert a slight amount of pressure on the screen. Over time I am guessing that may damage the screen, but I'm just guessing - not sure about that at all.
Actually, I like the standard Samsung book case the best for the Galaxy Tab, and I don't always need the keyboard. So I'm going to take the little rubber keyboard out of this case and carry that separately. For $26, even that is a great buy.
This case/keyboard is sold under a bunch of brand names. Here is a bunch of reviews on Amazon, if you like to read them.
Hey Dan,
I've been using the Mobile Keyboard 6000 from Microsoft for a few weeks now.
The price is a bit overkill but sure worth the quality you get. And the number pad being detached from the letters is a nice feature if your on the go all the time, leaving the number pad behind is sometimes a plus. It is slightly bigger then the tablet itself but i don't mind since also use it for at home.
Ive been rocking the typing book cover for 2 days now, and so far i like it aside from a few things. But its not putting me off of it with its sleek tight fit.
The main issue is that there is no place to hold a stylus. (PS definitely worth the 20 bones to pick one up) and second, when it is being held in its typing arrangement, you cannot have anything plugged in besides the headphones. It does have a small slit so that the headphone jack doesn't have to be removed and put back in every time but they didn't do the same for the charger/accessory port.
Cheers!

I just picked the same one up at Target for $30 on clearance yesterday. Not a fan and I wouldn't recommend it. The cookie-sheet case feels flimsy and it doesn't protect the back of the tablet at all. The metal edges are kind of sharp (not knife sharp) but I have to be careful not to scratch the sides of my tab when putting it face down in this case. I also don't feel that it's very secured when closed (tablet face down). The keyboard works alright, it's very responsive, and it pairs easily and maintains it's connection, but some of the dedicated buttons don't work. I also would rather re-map some of the android keys such as the email button to open gmail. Maybe I can, but haven't looked into it. I guess it's ok if you're looking for a cheap bluetooth keyboard, but I don't trust it to protect my tablet. Idk how logitech justified this as a $100 case.
**edit** Been using this case with the blueputdroid app on my phone as a mouse and am loving it!

Flygrip?

I was watching a YouTube video the other day and it was a review on the Flygrip and it looked pretty cool. I was wondering if anyone has used a Flygrip before and if it was worth the $30

I'm waiting for mine to arrive at the doorstep. Will update upon receipt.
Plenty of reviews and free shipping code here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423613
This could be useful for me. I'm starting to get a little RSI in my right thumb. This looks like it would support it.
I have had the flygrip for ~6 months. I really like it.
lt broke the other day. I emailed the Flygrip folks and they said it was due to a design flaw. They sent me a new one with the new revised design. Free of charge.
It is really useful. Helps to have a secure hold on your device. And also doubles as a landscape kickstand. Because the galaxy note is so big, the device will not stand in portrait with the kickstand. It just topples over.
It folds flat. Fairily flat. Only 7-8mm.
Mine just came in today I suggest if you get one use some duct tape (or another type of tape) to stick it in back. That way you can get a better feel for where you want it and don't waste one sticky.
Cause that's what I just did.
But other than that it's comfortable, quick to open, and once you stick your fingers in it a few times (heehee) it becomes very nice!
I don't use a case (even though they offer a free one for my phone) So it's nice to have a better hold on my phone.
I'm going to buy another one in a few months for my friends.

Hello, I noticed that you may want a kickstand that will help stand your Galaxy Note better. I have developed one that might be just the ticket for you - although not designed as a grip, with the blade open, it can be used to give yourself a better grip - see this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208873

Take a short strip of packing tape and fold over one end so that you have something to grip if you want to take it off - it will have less adhesive goo on your device to clean off - that's what I did when I was first testing correct placement on my kickstand4u tm

It's hard to hold in bed, I use my kickstand4u tm like a flygrip, but I find my arm gets tired holding my GS3 like that, which is pretty lightweight let alone trying to hold my Samsung Tab 7.0 Plus over my head for that long, I know I would still drop it on my face and with the weight of my arm attached, I'd probably knock myself out LOL!
You just got to either have a strong arm to hold in that position for a long time or set it on a bedside nightstand and do the reading that way.

I prefer the flygrip because i use it for the one handed solution mostly, and for the issues with portrait orientation, flygrip made a Gravity model designed for devices that are big. its on my note2 WITH the Otterbox Defender case. so far its wonderful, but i do like the idea of the kickstand4u.

Interesting keyboard case on eBay

So I was browsing for keyboard cases for my Note 10.1 the other day and found this case:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Slim-Blueto...vers_Keyboard_Folios&var=&hash=item3a844f9c90
Seems interesting because the keyboard is detachable from the case via a magnet on the back of case.
My only concern is that the magnet on the case might mess up the S-Pen. I've had a case with magnets and it indeed interfered with the Note's S-Pen.
Anyway, has anyone heard of this keyboard case?
I'm almost read to order one but the viewing angle looks a little steep?
I did not see any mention of magnets in the description, it's an aluminum case.

Hi kkretch,
The case does seem to have a large magnet on the back where the keyboard part is attached to. Which, by the way, is one of the nicest features of this case. You can either choose to use the tablet with the back cover, or attach it to the keyboard (see picture attached).
Now, I'm not sure how it will interfere with the S-Pen. But magnets and the S-Pen don't go well together.
Here's another seller selling the same item with more detailed pictures:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ultra-Thin-...vers_Keyboard_Folios&var=&hash=item3385635c0d
And as far as I can tell, the viewing angle is adjustable.
The case seems to be very well built and slim. I might take the risk and order one.
Let me know what you think.
If it is indeed a magnet holding it on I'm going to pass, but if you do get it please tell us how it is.
Did you notice the links have different prices.
Just so you guys know, the s-pen works by radio waves, so magnets should not affect it at all. Until some proof is provided, im going to assume that everyone who says they experienced it is just convincing themselves that they did.

This is not true at all. Wacom digitizers do use magnets, that's why you don't need a stylus with battery in it.
Just grab a magnet and put it near the S-Pen while writing down something and you'll see.

I have a case with some magnets attached to it hold the stand and it definitely messes up the s pen in the region of the magnets. If the case is removed, the s pen works fine. There's a lengthy thread on that in of the fora here, you should check that out if you don't believe me.
the wacom digitizer emits an electrical field which allows the spen to function without battery, it does not use RF
I experimented a little
it seems low power magnets had no effect (magnets you would find in most cases)
rare earth magnets however were able to disrupt the spen, and were able to penetrate though the back of the device and cause the spen not to work good aswell
the magnet has to be right on the device or right behind it to have any effect, as soon as it moves an inch-half an inch away it works normally again
I ordered one of those knock off samsung book cover cases which also has magnets in it, so i will see if while opened it has any effect on it

My sister had a case with a magnet on her Note 2 and it messed up the S-Pen. Although the S-Pen did return to its original state but it took weeks before it came completely demagnetized.
that's awesome. thanks!
I just bought a note and it came with a no name case. Has magnets that keeps the lid closed. Just two small ones at each upper corner of the case. Havent noticed any interference with it.
I really like that keyboard one, especially since its detachable. Is it possibly to get one with a trackpad? ...like the transformer? Or is that custom Asus firmware allowing it to use the pad?

Own this case
I bought the case the OP was asking about. I have to say that it is a great fit for me. The magnet on the back that holds the keyboard to the case has caused no issues with my SPen. The case and keyboard are very slim and add very little bulk to the overall feel. The keyboard is aluminum which makes it feel very durable. The only con I can find about this case is that the key strokes are a little misleading. Don't get me wrong, the keyboard works perfectly and hasn't missed a keystroke yet, but since I am used to traditional keyboards, the feel of the keys as I type is throwing me off a little. Nothing that time and use won't solve. I also like that the keyboard is removable and I still have a protective case on the back of the tablet.
Overall, this is the best keyboard/case I have found for the Note 10.1 (2012) for my needs.

I will try to take some pics when I get back home. Travelling for work at the moment and do not have that case and keyboard on my Note at the moment. I switch it up with the Samsung case and cover as I don't need the keyboard as often the more I use the tablet. Try to get some pics up on Friday though when I get home.
You are correct though, when the keyboard is off, the screen is exposed. I use Invisible Shield to solve that problem.
