use the tab for notes?

My cousin is offering me his tab 8.9 for $150 (6 months old). I already have the G Note, but the 8.9 is nice for note taking also.
For me to buy the tablet, I need to know if I can use a stylus on the tab like my GNote? I already tried my GNote stylus on the tab but didn't work.
Should I go for the tab for taking notes mainly or should I stick to my GNote?

You can use any capacitive stylus but your Note's stylus won't work because it is essentially a digitizer.
If you search for "the verge stylus roundup", they have a nice list of styli reviewed.

I could be wrong but I believe a capacitive stylus will work but will be naturally less accurate.
Should this be in Q&A?

Galaxy Camera and Wacom Bamboo Stylus Solo/Duo/Pocket

Did someone already used a Wacom Bamboo Stylus Solo/Duo/Pocket with his SGC ? (Bamboo Stylus Fell seems to be only with Note Model)
On google Play you can find an app named Bamboo Paper (Wacom Co. Ltd.) not compatible with SGC.
Need your reply !
Thx

All capacitive styli (ie models for iPad, iPhone and normal Android devices) should work without any problem.
The Feel-series, however, uses an entirely different technology (pressure sensitive technology that is used in graphics tablets) and does not work on any device that does not include that technology.

Thx for your reply

Note II is bigger than Note 1

Thanks

I tried my brother's note 2 official case and it didn't fit at all.... Not only the note 2 is a bit larger, the shape isn't quite the same.

Note 2 is a bit larger? Note II is a bit smaller overall, it's just a bit taller but thinner and less wide.
NOTE 1: 146.9 x 83 x 9.7 mm
NOTE 2: 151.1 x 80.5 x 9.4 mm
There is no way you can fit it, even with mods.

the keys are not in the same place as Note1 anyway so wont work

Note II is bigger than Note 1.....so impossibility will fit in to the case

3 Note8 SPens have broken between my fingers. Is there a sturdier 3rd party option?

idk if I'm the only person whose had this problem. The Note8's Spen is thinner than previous model SPens, and I broke 3 (2 Samsung brand, one AWinner brand) between my fingers during normal use within the first 4 or 5 months of buying my Note 8.
I gave up after the 3rd one, but miss the pen sometimes.
Does anyone know of a sturdier 3rd party offering?
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
thx

I don't see how you can break your S-Pen as I find the S-Pen on the Note 8 to be quite sturdy.

I think that Spens are sufficiently strong and durable, only tip may ware out (after very intensive use) but those can be replaced...
Replacement S-pens will be cheapest option and the only option to fit in the phone.
There are third party - wacom compatible - pens available, e.g. from Bamboo, that will work with your Note 8 and may be stronger.

Could we some pics if you don't mind ? Will be helpful as a precaution tip.

Third party substitue
Staedtler Noris Digital
Get this if u r looking for a sturdier option... Of course you won't be able to keep it inside the phone.... But should be the best option available.....

I tend to disagree. I also own a Steadler Norris Digital. I find it quite fragile, mainly due to it's length. While it may not break during active use, I think it is vulnerable during transport/storage. Also the Steadler Norris lacks a button , which prevents use of functionalities in some apps (like activation of air command). It is a very nice replacement stylus though for specific purposes, I agree to that, but for me only for drawing on my larger Samsung Notebook 9 Pro.
Basically all S-pens are compatible between the Note series, and Samsung also has offered alternatives:
The full size pen for the Note 10.1 may be an option:

Samsung also has a stylus that holds a Note 1 S-pen, which I also own, and is quite sturdy as well:

Not sure whether the Samsung pens linked above are easy to buy...

Stylus holder seems good
That stylus holder thing looks good... Never heard about it... Let us know the reviews if you get hold of one.

I have that one since long time. I bought it when I owned a Note 2. Works flawlessly with all samsung Notes I have/had (Note 2, Note 4, Note 5, Note 10.1, Note 8, Notebook 9 Pro).
Holds much better than small S-pen from phone. Button is also easier to use. The stylus holder can only accommodate the Note 1 S-Pen - it was included with holder.
Althouth sensitivity of the S-pen has supposedly improved over the note series, when using the holder with enclosed Note 1 S-pen with Note 8 I do not notice the limited pressure sensitivity of that old S-Pen compared to the Note 8's own S-pen.
You may find the holder on ebay or other site...

I don't have pics but they all just broke in half. not much to see

S Pen from Note10+ fits and works, and more S Pen is newer version made from one plastic part instead of two pars on original Note 8, and much harder to break The downside - it's shorter, so to press push button you need to use little finger nail

S5e keyboard case with tab s6?

Anyone know if the s5e keyboard case works with the tab s6?
I like the form factor of the old case better and wonder if there is any difference in the pogo pin configuration. Any one have one to try?

I am also interested

I went to Best Buy to see if the 5SE Case would work with the TAB S6 and while the size is the same it will probably fit - the camera cut out is different - the Tab 5SE has a single camera and the TAB s6 has a double camera. So if the camera is not a big deal for you, it appears the case for the 5SE would work -
I am looking for a case that is a stable like the 5SE - but that has the correct Camera Cut out - no luck so far - but hoping someone knows where to find one? (the Logitech case I found doesn't have any camera cut out....so not sure there is one that is going to work - at least not yet)

I went to Best Buy today and the pins all line up on the S5e keyboard, but the magnet apparently do not. The Tab S6 will not "lock" in the dock over the pins.

Any one else tried this? I've ordered a S5se keyboard hoping it will fit.
Why? Well ...
I like the new keyboard for the Esc/PgUp/PgDn/Home/End buttons but hate pretty much everything else about it. With the kickstand out it takes up a lot more space i.e it doesn't fit on an airplane seat-tray so there goes working or writing on a plane. Stuck on the back inelegantly. Samsung should also have copied the iPad and had the pen on top with magnets rather than the unsightly bulge on the back.
The keyboard for the Tab S4 was great but no Esc/PgUp/PgDn/Home/End buttons.
Could live without the mousepad for a better form-factor. Always use a bluetooth mouse when I need a mouse anyway.

I like the form of the older keyboard also. When I tried it, the keyboard from the s5e would not attach to the tab s6. Let us know what you fing.

The Opposite
I was actually hoping kinda the opposite. I was hoping the Tab S6 keyboard would work for the S5e. Honestly, the only thing keeping the tablet from being perfect for me is the absence of the trackpad.

Well, I can update. The S6 does *NOT* work in the S5e keyboard cover.
not work
1. The magnets don't line up -- but worse they actually PUSH the S6 out so you can't even rest there but have to physically hold it in place.
2. Even if you do hold it in place. The keyboard is not detected and simply does nothing.
Shame for me ... thought about buying the S5e but no S-PEN. Don't care about the trackpad, I can use a BT mouse at my desk.
Oh well, so close Samsung. I find myself using a an iPad Pro 11" more and more

Galaxy Book 2
If you the would've made the Galaxy Book 2 in an android version. Or even better an updated version that dual boots Windows 10 and android, freakin dream machine right there.

Fyi the s5e charging dock does work with the s6, so there's that at least.

So dumb they reversed the magnets to repel the tablet. Sorry, you are only allowed laptop like productivity if you buy our most expensive product. F you. I already have a note 10+. I don't need the pen on my tablet. But I'd love to have something productive that's smaller than my Pixelbook. I realize this as I never use the pen on my S4, but I get annoyed at navigating and editing on its track pad-less keyboard.
Six generations it took to put a track pad on a keyboard when they've had cursor control from the get go. Just dumb. I'd get a Surface go, but it's just under spec'd.
