Stylus? - Galaxy S III Accessories

I saw the C-Pen and thought it was pretty cool but I don't want to pay $30 for something I won't use very often. Does anyone (who has a stylus) have any recommendations for this particular device? I notice the touch area needs to be much smaller than it did on my previous devices. Pretty awesome!

That one seems to want to be a pen first and a stylus second. Not only is the stylus tip HUGE, it's stuck on the same end as the clip, which means it won't be very nice to hold.

Between this and the samsung one, I'd rather spend the extra $12 on the samsung.

Yea, I have the MediaDevil MagicWand and it works great for my Tablet, and decently enough for the GS3, but I'm looking for something with a smaller tip. That Samsung one looks perfect!

I too am looking for one with a smaller tip, but I'm also looking for one that doesn't cost $30. It's useful, but for me, it's more of a minor convenience to have.

I've always been wary of the Jot Pen just because it looks like it might be more prone to causing scratching than the other nub capacitive pens. How's your experience with it in that regard?

I just ordered a universal stylus for 6$ and it comes with a free skin from amazon.
Don't spend too much on one, u can make your own with some electricaly conductive styrafoam (used to ship computer chips). Just hollow out a pen and stuff it in there.

So I ordered the Galasy S III C-Pen and unfortunately it isn't working out that well. I have a Zagg InvisibleSHIELD installed and I guess the semi tackiness of the protector doesn't let the pen move around as smoothly as it should. It works great for normal pointing & whatnot, but if you're drawing or something, it isn't too precise. If you don't have a screen protector then you probably don't have to worry about it.
Also another big negative (my fault for not doing some research first I guess) is that it doesn't work with any other of my devices. Tried it on my Acer Iconia a500 tablet & Galaxy Nexus and it doesn't work at all. I figured "Replacement for using fingers on your tablet or smartphone touchscreen" meant I could use it on other devices as well. Think I'm just going to get my money back on it. :/

With the glass on this phone I don't think it should be a problem at all.

Just got my Hand stylus in the mail but dont need it anymore.

I have the Samsung c-pen and it works great since I don't have a screen protector. It also costs 20.00 on Amazon.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

I have been using the C-pen. I got it off Amazon for $22. I don't use a screen protector, my phone is "naked", and to be honest, I really like it, but it's hit and miss. And what I don't think people realize is that it depends on the software using the stylus. This was something I didn't expect. I thought it would perform roughly the same on all apps. Using Adobe Reader to make freehand notes, I would find dead spots, where the pen just wouldn't work. But then if I touched the screen, then went back to that spot, it would work again.
The two best apps I have found, and the two use the most, (both work quite well with the C-pen) are SketchBook Mobile, and Genial 2. SBM is for drawing, and Genial is for note taking. The C-pen had bad reviews, but I have been happy with it. This is where I bought mine. http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-ETC-S10CSEGSTA-Galaxy-III-Pen/dp/B0089VO7HY. I have had buyers remorse at times, but not enough to send it back.
It looks really nice, and I love the way it feels. I think the only other 2 options I would consider are HandStylus, and Jot. Anything else is really just another variation of the same thing. But, even with any stylus, your really magical experience will come in the app you are using it on. The nice part about the other two is if you ever change phones, or have a tablet, you can use your stylus on it. The C-pen only works with your GS3.

Stylus for Handwritten Notes

Anyone know if the Xoom supports using a stylus? If yes, which stylus and app do you recommend?
Thanks!!
i made one at my house. ill write up a how to.
OK so you take the tip and the back off a old pen so it looks like a straw.

Then you take ESD foam or conductive foam and wrap wire around it.
Put the wire into the pen and pull it all the way till you get a nice tip of foam sticking out.
Then jsut wrap the wire so you figres will touch it and bam a working Stylus.
Its not the best looking but with time it can be better.
Im sure a metal pen would work the best. Ill have to find one around here and try.
That's a pretty sweet home made stylus
But i've been looking for a fine tipped stylus to use with drawing apps. With my finger, I can never tell exactly where my lines will go and I'm assuming it would be the same with your solution and all of the rubber tipped stylus I've seen.
Can't someone make like a silicon tip or something so its like pen or a sharpened pencil?

The way these touch screens work you cant have a "fine" tip, tried it. I was sad to, cause i was hoping i could use this on the go then send it to my desktop and use my Wacom.
I Bought One That Works Well
This is the one I purchased on Friday. It works very well. Now I just need to find a great note taking (hand written notes and possibly text input) app and I’m all set.
http://www.amazon.com/Targus-Stylus-iPhone-Tablet-AMM01US/dp/B003ZSHKIY
Targus sells them in different colors besides black.
An app I found the other day was "MaplePaint" https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mapleworks&feature=search_result
I am wanting to get a stylus to try out with it. Not sure though, as it seems to not be quite sensitive enough for real handwriting. And, when putting my hand down on the screen like on a piece of paper it messes with it a bit.
I'd be curious to know how it goes when used with a stylus.
-Loc
I picked up a stylus this afternoon. The Targus one.
http://www.targus.com/us/productdet...el1=products&cp=&bannertxt=Stylus For Tablets
The stylus is great, and does a great job doing what it does. Feedback is good. But, I worry about the sensitivity of the digitizer on the XOOM. The lettering is not very accurate in any drawing app I try and things like dots (periods, the dots on 'i' or 'j') do not show up at all.
I check out videos on youtube for iPad apps that do drawing or note taking functions and these do not seem to have any issues. I wonder if it is the digitizer or just the apps not being optimized....
Anyway, stylus gets a thumbs up.
-Loc
I have noticed that if you are using any sort of screen protector it reduces the sensitivity of the stylus.
Not using a screen protector. No need with Gorilla Glass.

hope it works for taking notes in class..
I just ordered an O-stylus ... http://ostylus.com/ ... I gather there is a bit of a "knack" to it ... but seems to be the best for "seeing what you are doing" in a drawing/note taking scenario. I'll let you know what I think
You could also go with this one http://www.dealextreme.com/p/aluminum-alloy-touchpad-stylus-pen-for-apple-ipad-ipad-2-black-57797 . I just ordered one and it looks well built. The last one I had didn't have the taper like this one has which is ideal for not risking scratching the screen. Also it's a great price!

[Q] Cases for the 10.1

Are there any cases for the thin 10.1 tablet available?
I'm getting my tablet mid of june.
None that I've seen yet. I saw an unboxing video of a case, but I think that is for the chubby 10.1v. I want a case, but don't want to cover up my little androids on back. lol

Oh. Okay
I'm going to go to best buy today and see if any ipad sleeves will work
We're probably going to have to wait until the tab is officially released before we can get a proper case but if I can just get a cloth sleeve now I'll be happy
Yeah, I'm worried that the seller messed up and forgot to put a 'v' after 10.1. It will arrive this week. Worse case scenario is it will sit loose in the case which can be fixed with some quick modifications. But just mainly something to have until manufacturers start selling cases. (Then return for a refund...)
Does anyone know if there's a way to get insurance for the device? (Will squaretrade provide w/o a purchase receipt?)

also hoping the amazon one isnt for the chubby version.
Cant wait to get this thing in a case...
There is a company making a Melko brand leather book case that looks promising, but it also is a photo of the chubby one. Ive emailed them asking if it has been redesigned.. Lets see what they say..
I got the Acme Slick Case from Best Buy. It's not perfect but it works okay and for 15 dollars you can't complain. I figure it will do me until some custom made cases come out.
http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product...spx?path=acafc0b74bca603fcb15b1e5c38b547aen02
Looks nice, but still waiting for some more cases
i ddecided to go with a belkin 10" neoprene sleeve off of Amazon for $8. It is a bit too big, but it does protect the tab and you can fold it in half, prop the top of the tab up and type in an angle.
I'm a fan of sleeves (as opposed to form fitting cases), and I hunted up one of these at Best Buy yesterday. It's very well made and fits perfectly.
Just got my case in the mail today, works beautifully. has 5 cc slots on side and a big pocket for whatever you may need it for.
might return this when Zagg comes out with a case (as mentioned in another thread), but for now this will do perfectly.

quietglow, thanks for the heads up. I just went out and picked up same sleeve, fits great and I really like that it doesn't look like a computer related accessory.
I'm the guy who sent his GT-P7510 to Zagg. Judging from their other offerings, i would expect just an invisiblesheld not a case.

Anyone seen gimmick five slim "smart cover"

Has anyone out there heard or seen of these things. I was looking for a. Tpu. Or silicone case when I came accross these. I'm wondering what kind of build quality they have.

you dont have one? why did you call it a rip off then? just curious...it looks like a good case to me.
I have been looking at these and whilst I think it's great they are so slim I am a little concerned that if I remove the Note the back will be covered in the glue? Can anyone who has one please confirm? Thanks.
Mature name of the thread... not. Ask your dad to buy one for you and let us know what you think.
That's why I love xda. Is it wrong to find out if someone out there owns one and what its like. I don't mean ripoff money wise. I mean copy of crapple smart cover. Im not a kid and my dad is dead btw thanks. In the one video it shows them remove it from the sticky and show it won't stick to the case. So I'm not sure what it would do to the tablet pretty much why I asked.

I ordered the Gimmick Five a week ago (see this post). Hopefully I'll get the cover within the next week or two.
I'm just looking for something slim that will protect the Note against scratches while I wait for a better case. On the video it looks like magnets are used to lock the cover in closed position... I would have prefered an elastic band instead and not having the cover wrap around the edge to the back side.
Well well... we'll se what it's like when I get it.

Well if you don't want the bezel to be covered (I do) then you can just go for the Belkin Cinema Case for the Galaxy Note 10.1. Good materials used and nice finish I think.

Ok, well then it must be very different from the iPad version which I think has very nice quality. If by flimsy you mean the opposite to stiff well then that's a good think imho.

So you guys are going to (semi) permanently glue your Note's to a case?
"Magic tape -- allows adhesive to the device firmly and removal the device hassle-freely without any mark of glue."
Yeah, no.
Ugh... this doesn't look good at all!!

So now we know that magnets really should be avoided on cases for the Note 10.1. As I wrote in an earlier post I would have preferred an elastic strap instead.

Samsung Galaxy S Pen And Holder Kit

Hey guys I searched on google for the s pen and came across this site that is selling the OFFICIAL Samsung S Pen & Holder Kit for JUST $5!!!! I was shocked when I saw the price considering Samsung is selling this same kit for $59.99 and Amazon has it listed for around $25. I ordered 3 to have some extras around in case I lose/misplace one. The shipping for just one was about $7, and for three it was about $8 and some change. My total order came out to be about $23.38 which I found to be a steal for three of these pens.
What's even better is if you are in the Miami, Fl area they have stores that you can actually pick up your order at the store and save on the shipping! I'll probably get the order towards the end of the week and i'll post back then with some pictures as well. If you guys are in the marker for this kit, I would definitely purchase it from here before they raise the price or sell out! Happy buying!

Unreal! I just bought this last night off ebay for 30.00...
Got my $5.00 pens today, and I must say they are great. I take a lot of notes in my college classes and these are the perfect size for me, unlike the pens that came with my 5.3 and 10.1 which have been a pain for me to use. These feel and weigh like an expensive ink pen, think Cross. They are built very well and look nice. They also work on both the 5.3 and 10.1. The pressure sensitivity works well also. still trying to get used to the button though. I Keep clicking it and taking screen Shots.

Got my $5.00 pens today, and I must say they are great. I take a lot of notes in my college classes and these are the perfect size for me, unlike the pens that came with my 5.3 and 10.1 which have been a pain for me to use. These feel and weigh like an expensive ink pen, think Cross. They are built very well and look nice. They also work on both the 5.3 and 10.1. The pressure sensitivity works well also. still trying to get used to the button though. I Keep clicking it and taking screen Shots.

Saffman,
Thank you for sharing. Mine arrived today as well! But i paid 25.00 more than you ...nice...
Is your stylus a white nylon tip? If so i started another thread in regards to this..
Thats actually the one for the Note phone (5.3").
The larger pen for the 10.1 is different.

Damnnnnn! I wish I stayed in the US now, and that they had some in stock. Sadface. They look like the real thing, too!
I would stay away from this.
The S pen on the Note 10.1 has a softer tip. I have this model and it has a harder tip. Has something made the tips softer to prevent scratching?
The larger S pen for the Note 10.1 is different. Also the question is whether the Note 5.3 pen holder can handle the extra 1024 pressure levels. Thr old note is only capable of 256 levels.
This is the Note 10.1's larger pen:

Yes, that was one of my concerns after it arrived... i should have done more research prior to purchasing... i did ask the seller, gave him my model number as well?
Blue13x, thank you for the s pen link?
Regards,
Revived my pens yesterday. Im testing it out as I take notes from my textbook. I'm going to lost some oics either later tonight or tomorrow for sure. The kit is so much better to write with im glad I made the purchase. I will be purchasing a screen protector so I'm not too concerned about the pen scratching the screen but so far everything seems good!

Does the pen from your tablet fit into the holder as well? Also does the pen that came with it have a removable tip?

No, and no. This S Pen is exactly like the one that comes with the Galaxy Note 5.3 phone. The 10.1 S Pen is to big for the holder.

Fyi this is for the original note I know because I have one in order to use your s pen has to be removed so it can detect the Sceen

Poetic is being discussed in different threads in this forum, with many pictures, people have it for few weeks already. It's a good case at great price.

It's $14.95 now, that's still a lot better than $35.
I made a mistake on the shipping, it was $4.95, and not overnight, I was thinking of another order.

Case works great so far for me, no digitizer probs. Will keep an eye on it though.

Oh, you're original post says $35.
You risk damaging your digitizer if you use this case. It is really not worth it. Try writing near the top of your screen and see if you can draw a straight line. Bet you cant.

I have this case too, no problem with S Pen.
Mine was fine the first week, but soon developed problems.

Is that with the s pen or another stylus?
I have a different magnetic case. The s pen works perfectly around the edges but the surface pen definitely loses accuracy.

yup, me too.
See
I have to support what red321red321 is saying. Everything was good and fine for a week or so, then it absolutely ruined my digitizer and the damage this case does is irreparable. Thankfully, I am a premier silver customer at BB, so I had the extended return period and got my Note 10.1 2014 replaced with a new one.
Maybe I was unlucky, but I would not recommend rolling the dice with this case. Just trying to help.

So what's the story with that case? Magent too strong? I googled this and pretty much found just this thread...
I keep reading about how these magnetic cases cause problems. Are there no non magnetic cases available for this?
I started a thread specific to non magnetic cases - no replies yet. Not sure if that means there are none or something else.
I had the poetic case and switched to the samsung book cover. The poetic magnet is much stronger. Seems like some are having problems and some aren't. I dont think the risk is worth it. Plus, the Samsung case is much thinner and lighter, and actually has the buttons in the correct orientation when you use it in landscape.
