Some Stylusses Reviews...Looking for better stylus?

Hi. The only thingb tat I hate about capacitive screen is, stylusses are very bad. They are not giving the real pen experience.
I used Pogo Sketch and Boxwave Stylusses. Which you find from these links:
http://www.tenonedesign.com/sketch.php
http://www.boxwave.com/products/capacitivestylus/apple-ipad-capacitive-stylus_3779.htm
Boxwave is significantly better that Pogo. You can write anything with Boxwave stylus with that big comfortably. With Pogo, you need to write bigger to get your handwriting recognized by the device.
I like take notes everytime in everywhere, so I need a capacitive stylus with a sharper tip.
I found MORE/REAL stylus cap: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1004382302/more-real-stylus-cap
and Nokia Capacitive Stylus SU-39: http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/accessories/all-accessories/carrying-and-styling/carrying-cases/nokia-capacitive-stylus-su-39
Also if the were a Pentel Airpen like Capacitive stylus, it would be so much nicer, beacause Pentel captures the strokes of your hand-drawings.
Is there any capacitive stylus with sharper tip that you suggest?
Thanks in advance.

Have you guys seen the HTC Flyer tablet presentation at the Barcelon WMC?
It features a stylus with a very pointy tip, which should work on a capacitive screen.
The rep mentioned it was new technology though.
If I am not mistaken, it also had two buttons for highlighting or writing functionality.
What do you think? Would that stylus also work on the Adam?

When I saw the HTC Flyer, I felt the same way as you. However, its tecnology is not just stylus, but with its N-Trig digitilizer. You can find more info about its digitilizer from here:

ifaraday stylus(es) - my purchase
Just to throw my two cents in:
I spend all day using a Wacom tablet and photoshop. So when I ordered my Adam I fully intended to use it for content creation, whether that's drawing or just writing. And I want a stylus.
I've been doing some hunting, and I stumbled on this:
ifaraday.com
Its obviously a home-based business, but this guy nailed it. I'm ordering the art pack. Do a google search just on ifaraday and you can watch the YouTube review of the caracature artist using the basic one.
and one of the review articles from another artist loves the artist pack.
I'll let you know my personal review when they come in.

@Wizrd23 I completely agree! That stylus seems amazing. Looking forward to your review!

I reply this using iFaraday stylus and graffiti.
So far so good. It tracks nicely

Portfolio Notepad for 7" Tablets?

Once again the iProducts corner the market with accessories you just can't find anywhere else.
Has anyone seen a decent portfolio style notepad that can accomodate a tablet like the 7? This was the best looking option I've found, but doesn't have the functionality of holding the tablet on the inside of the case, so that it is readily accesible:
http://www.zsxiaozhi.com/A5-Portfolio-With-Pocket-for-a-7-inch-Android-Tablet_p_291.html
It's a good looking case, although a little expensive.
I envision this type of solution reducing the amount of clutter I need to carry between conference rooms. Having instant access to corporate email, calendars and products like Microsoft Lync makes those long, over the time, meetings run a little smoother.

I was actually checking this one out. Not sure if it would fit the N7, but I might try it anyway:

Was $80, now $20!? How could you go wrong!
Too bad it doesn't have a spot for a notepad. I didn't see one in the picture. All of those pockets are useless to me. Great find though.

what is the Best stylus to nexus 7?

Hello
I need to find stylus that work good for nexus 7,
I need stylus that write like pen for notebook.
And jot pro not work.
another question is What application allows writing as a student notebook.
Thanks

The Hand stylus is pretty great as far as capacitive stylii go, but i do not think any capacitive stylus will be able to replace pen and paper. Imagine trying to take notes with a blunt-tip marker on a small notepad and you will have the general idea of what this experience will be like.

talk about a LOT of pages of notes. Why dont you just audio record it and go back later to summarize it?

There is a product made by apenusa, I think.its the A3, its small device which connects via bluetooth, and records your pen gestures to the app, so you use the pen on a surface. However its like 130 bucks. The same company have come out with the A6 smartpen. However they say its only for ios devices but im not sure if it may work on android. Again this product is like 130 bucks. Not sure im willing to spend that much on a stylus to test it let alone use it. But the a6 pen uses this tech where it blocks multitouch, so you can rest your palm.on the screen whilst writing or drawing. Source: http://www.apenusa.com
To be fair ive had a nice experience with my jot classic on both my nexus 7 and xperia s. Though it can be annoying to use however its the best stylus ive had to date. More precise and effortlessly accurate

this sucks that the jot pro doesn't work... i was really counting on that

There is already a thread for stylus.. Why cant you guys keep the discussion in one thread..

Try the TruGlide Stylus from Lynktec... It has a really cool microfiber tip, instead of the usual rubber tip. Works really well!

I have the app FreeNote and it works really well for taking notes if you have a good stylus. It has several different options and settings and it is really fast.

A/Market S-Pen?

Just wondering whether anyone knows of any after market (non OEM) S Pens out there (or in development)? Im finding Im using the Note 2 almost exclusively with the S Pen and would like to try a different (high end) stylus.

Thanks for replying mate. Ive done a bit of a look around the internets and there seems to be mixed opinions about whether the wacom styles work or not. Given apparently the pen and the screen is made by Wacom I should be able to find one that does. What I would really like is a high end pen which fits in the phone.

I'm looking for a decent and large Spen too.
Here's another post on the Bamboo pen. I'm waiting for more info on whether it actually works well with the Note 2.

Im looking for an aftermarket one that has a real ink pen on the end. Has anyone seen one?

I think most active wacom styluses will work, I'm using one from my 2007 era tablet pc, the button works, the eraser end works and the pressure sensitivity works perfectly. No issues with alignment either.

I know this isn't an S-pen... it's a blobby capacitive pen emulating your finger: YesPen S1-plus
but this isht is sick as fcxzk. 1)Capacitive stylus - seems about the same (effectively) aside from the mushiness of it - you can still write great on the note; 2) real ink pen; 3)usb drive and sdhc card; 4)bluetooth earpiece; 5) bluetooth speakerphone; 6)integrated out of the box with samsung speak; 7) 3.5mm headphone(s) jack for a2dp stereo; 8) standard universal non-proprietary male usb (without the shield) built in for direct charging, usb memory, and sdhc access... 9) only $50 on ebay - less than half the price of the Samsung spen with bluetooth earpiece but soooo many more features.
CANNOT WAIT FOR THE YESPEN S2 if they ever make it - hopefully with spen too.
Anyone else try this yet or find an english language manual?
I've been using it for about a month and LOVE IT!

I need a small portable stand that hold the Note 2 in airplane flights

I'm having some difficulty identifying a stand that matches my requirements. Been Searching a lot but haven't found anything perfect yet. Most are too big and not pocketable.
What I am looking for:
-Very small and light, but sturdy. Preferably pocketable easily.
-Resistant and fairly stable to hold the phone on the food tray on airplanes.
-With some angle adjustment if possible, but around 45 degrees should be good enough.
-Capable of holding phablets and phones (Note II, Galaxy S2), no need to support Tablets.
-If it can hold a Note 2 in a case or with an extended battery, that is a plus, but not essential.
-Able to pass airport security checks (if in your pocket).
-Can be bought in EU (or from somewhere else with fast delivery)
I checked several but most of them look either too large (made for iPads) or too flimsy. Some are not adjustable at all and others have a layout that cannot be pocketed.
This one transforms into some sort of USB Pen and looks interesting, but I'm unsure if it can hold a Note 2 (in the right angle).
Anyone has this one?
Or can suggest any other models?
Thanks

The official stand/battery charger works. It holds well in turbulence.

step 1 - find an old audio cassette case.
step 2 - open the case all the way back and place on a flat surface.
step 3 - put your device on/in it depending on orientation.
it works surprisingly well.

For the best value mutli-purpose holder, see post #9 of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118979
In case the suction cup does work on the airplane tray, you can lower the phone down to sit on the tray directly.
For a simple device, this one http://www.tinydeal.com/one-hand-adhesive-washable-ring-holder-stand-for-mobile-phone-p-58445.html works well too. But the ability to adjust the angle is very limited. This is also a poor man's Flygrip. This device stick to the phone by a sticky pad, you can attach/detach it to and from the phone repeatedly without leaving any mark on the phone. One little trick. Wash the sticky pad with warm water,shake off the water and attached it to the phone. It adhere to the phone surprisingly well.

Ahaha, I see what you mean. But it works best for portrait. I want to use it in landscape for movies... there's less grip that way and it will probably fall off in a plane.

I just use a dollar bill (or any kind of bill actually) and origami a stand: http://pockethacks.com/how-to-build-your-own-phone-stand-from-a-dollar-bill/
It works well, very sturdy, and once you're done, you just pocket it away.
Or better yet, get a case that has a built-in kickstand

I use a small, plastic, credit card shaped, foldable stand but I can't remember where I got it. It's similar to this one:

It's not cheap, but can be fond on sale or just the first version, maybe the RocketFish PivotPad may suit your needs.
this shows the first version.
I picked up the first version for $5 on sale at bestbuy through slickdeals or something. Works good.

Been using Go Go Stand since it was profiled on CNET a few years ago.
http://www.gogostand.com/
I am still using both credit card size stands to this day (think about four years). Absolutely love it...so thin...and adjustable. Serves me REALLY well on business trips (used it w/ N1, HTC Sensation, Note 1 & 2).
Think you mentioned you were currently in Europe? Not sure how long it would take to get to where you are, but it wouldn't hurt to contact them?

I actually found out that good old Lego is very suitable for building a stand.

I usually find a useless hotel card or a any expired credit card to use as a temporary kickstand.

The internet sux.
This is after installing flash player plugin ics and reloading the stock browser, after trying dolphin beta, after setting user agent to iphone as told in dolphin betas help.
Added----
Ok if I set user agent to desktop and manually search for the article from the home page, then at least the broken link pics appear but the flash stays blank.
For some reason the link above continues to redirect to m.cnet which is broken, even after clearing cache. Combination of cnet, adobe, android, dolphin (for having flash support but turning it off with no user override) and the internet as a whole, sux.

The one thing I used to use as a kickstand is a good ol business card holder. I just happened to find an unused one at my former workplace and it works perfectly. Granted its not adjustable (maybe adding a few business cards for thickness to prop it forward more could do the trick) but its perfect for my phone. Its a black metal mesh kind but heres thr link for it.

I second the hotel/gift card stand. Cheap and easy. I throw a rubber band on the front lip to add a little grip since the Note 2 is such a big phone.

there is newer version out now. it's simular, but has a few changes. How you use it and what it does remains the same.
ZDNet just did an article on a couple weeks ago: linky. I found it all over the net. Amazon has it too. Finding it at $5 like I did, well someone else did and shared the link, will probably be more difficult.

I don't know how well it works with an extended battery case, but I have the icarpus stand, it works quite well:
http://icarpus.com
By the way, the stand you posted in your original post is horrible.
I own it, and It completely can't handle the galaxy note's size.

I made this from an old vhs box. Two old credit cards or dvd case would work as well. It works in landscape and portrait.

It's a copy of the gogo mount I think. Ordered it on amazon for $3 shipped. It came with two, one extra as a gift! Gogo is in the uk so I didn't want to wait for shipping time. It's adkustable with 3 setting and hold my note 2 with commutet.
