i have been having some trouble with the size of the s-pen, and was wondering if the holder kit for the original notes s-pen is compatible with the newer model (size wise), and if not, are there any other alternatives out there that are as good as the stock pen with regards to sensitivity?

The Holder Kit for the Note 1 isn't compatible as the Note 2 S-pen is larger. You can however use the original Holder Kit on the Note 2 as its more comfortable to hold. The only negative is you will have to put it in your pocket/bag which isn't a problem for me. I never use the stylus on the Note 2 as its too uncomfortable to use - I love using the Holder Kit as it is the same size as a regular pen.

I got the kit and mine seems to be too sensitive- it activates almost anything it hovers over.
Does your pen do this too? Maybe I should just return it for another...
Theres a bigger version spen for the note2. The one with the eraser, forgot what it was called.

Gameklip is now offering 2 models only. One for the SG3 and a universal one that attaches to a case for your phone with a 3M adhesive strip. They have cases for the Note 2 for $2.95, it's a generic TPU type. The wireless model plus case plus shipping to my house came to $21. The case attaches permanently to the klip so you will have to switch out any case you now have each time to use it. I have the Samsung protective case that slips off an on easily so I decided to go ahead and get the universal "case mount" since I would have had to take it off anyway with the old style system because it fit the phone too tightly to use with a case anyway. I will report back on the fit and quality once I receive the package.

You would have to take off any case anyway because the versions made for specific phones fit too tightly to allow you to place the phone plus case into the klip. You can't expect an option for every phone/case combination. If it fits tight enough to hold the naked phone securely it won't accommodate the phone plus case.

3M adhesive strips are way more reliable than sticky tape. Automomile manufactures use it to attach heavy items to vehicles that are subjected to much greater stress than you will ever
subject your phone to (unless you plan on throwing it when the game gets frustrating). Just clean the attachment point with alcohol before applying and you won't need to worry about it coming off under normal use.

I actually think it will look better than the plastic arms wrapping around the naked phone. This way the case and phone will be appear to be an integral part of the device rather than an apparent add on. Also, when I was thinking of ordering one like the original I worried that those arms, being made of rigid plastic and fitting tightly enough to keep the phone from dropping out, would eventually cause visible wear on the phone's body with repeated insertions. That should be no problem with a soft flexible case. Additionally, on the theory that the phone will eventually be replaced, it will be possible to remove the case and fit one for the Note 3, 4 or 5 to the device with a new adhesive strip. All in all it appears to be a pretty clever one size fits all solution for the multitude of devices in the market. I got notification that mine has shipped so I will soon have a better idea of how well it actually fits and will report back.
You make a lot of valid points let us know how you like it.

If you bought one for your original note that WILL WORK! I shoved my note 2 in it to see and it was way to strainful, so I decided to take a lighter to heat one side up to let it adjust to the longer phone, not it fits in perfect nice and tight and no issues at all!
Notice how the right side is angled a little, I can still shake it around and everything and its very sturdy still

I have the same one as the poster above. At work I use my phone as a note pad all the time. There are two other options but this one has the thinnest barrel size and even has an eraser. On another thread we've found that no Wacom tablet pen works but there are other tablet stylus' that do.
Once again the poster above has it right with the 50% coupon, hell if you have the money buy both. From what I understand the technology didn't really change just the size of the s pens.

The Stylus in the pen kit won't fit into the Note 2 . I just wanted a more comfortable pen to use,hence I purchased the pen kit for my Note1 which I also use for my Note2.
(searched and saw no thread on best stylus)
I'd prefer a full-sized stylus to use with my Note 2. I ordered the S-Pen with Eraser (ET-S200EBE) from Samsung thinking it would be full size. While bigger than the built-in stylus, it is far from full sized.
I see Wacom is coming out with the Wacom Bamboo Stylus Feel in January. It looks good.
Any other thoughts on a full size stylus including eraser?
You might be hard pressed to find something with all the requirements you are looking for.
If i find anything I'll let you know. For now I'm going to subscribe to this thread.

I do not believe one exists that uses the more precise technology used in devices like the Note series. Plenty exist for typical capacitive touch screens. Don't get one of those -- it will work, but will not be accurate enough for handwriting and drawing.
I went through two Spens w/eraser. Both did not work like the phones pen. I returned both to try the Spen with holder and it works GREAT! The pen with eraser would not draw a consistent line on the screen. After examining it against the phones pen you can see the tip is designed differently. I did try adjusting the potentiometer in the pen w/eraser with no success. The pen with holder is designed more like the phones pen and the holder actually feels better to hold and I like not having to flip the pen over to erase.
Get the S pen with holder.

It feels excellent in the hand. Nice weight. It writes exceptionally smooth. Feels like a real pen. The tip is much softer than the Spen's tip but it's still firm enough to be precise. Basically I used to fear my pen would scratch my screen but not with this one....its hard to explain.
I'm not sure how it would be with drawings since I don't use it for that.

Cool, any chance we could get a video of you scribbling on the Note 2 with it? Want to be sure this one works good, I've already been burned twice...
So - any recommendations or comparisons - Bamboo or Spen w/ Holder?
To the dude looking for the stylus with real ink as well - if you don't need spen for all tasks, the YESPEN -S1 plus on ebay is sick!!! I acknowledge 100% that it is nowhere near as good as the spen... 1 degree of pressure vs. 1024; bulbous head vs precise head; mushy vs. hard...
That said - it's good enough to write with on screen... simple figs are good enough... and it doesn't draw any power like the spen does... may want to consider the yespen-s1 plus as it has a shxit ton of extra features over the above.
Samsung has what looks like a full handed spen stylus with bluetooth headset hfp hsp built in. BUT $98 is the cheapest I can find it.
YesPen-S1 plus has the capacitive stylus; an ink pen; an sdhc usb memory stick built in; AND bluetooth hfp, hsp, a2dp, ?aptx? - it has an earpiece and a microphone built in, a speakerphone loudspeaker, and a 3.5mm headphone jack... it's basically - the sickest pen ever made (WISH IT HAD SPEN too and that it fit in our slot and charged via the EM wave induction).
Check it out - yespen s1-plus on ebay $59.
Had mine about a month and I'm soooo digging it though it is relative crap compared to the artistic precision of the spen.
Sometimes it has it's uses though.
If anyone else sees cool stylus tech - please post here, subscribing now, so I can get it.
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 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?

Now that I've tested two cheap combos that turned out to be the same units but branded differently, I'm going the separate route. Actually Kensington & another manufacturer (can't remember the name at the moment) make what I think are very good keyboards akin to the Surface.

+1 to this, but I bought the $35 "Poetic Keybook Removable Keyboard" on amazon for the time being.
It has some stupid strap and arbitrary sized keys imo. Also the bluetooth has lag sometimes. I really want them to go the route of the microsoft surface keyboard design. Mainly because of less lag when typing vigorously.
