My DIY SPen holder for Note2 - Galaxy Note II Accessories

Originally I want to purchase a "S Pen W/ Eraser (8PI) ", I just made a DIY SPen holder, modified from a uni-ball brand ball pen (fingo) for my Note2 today, even there is no eraser function, it is still good for me.

I love this idea! Im gonna stop by frys on my way back home and buy an extra s pen so I can make one tonight! Thanks for the idea! :good:

I'm going to ransack my desk at work to see if I have a pen that can fit the S-Pen! Thanks!

What is the purpose for this? To make it fit in your hand better and easier to write/draw? No disrespect meant, I'm just curious is all.

you are right, fit with the hand especially when you are frequently writing or drawing on sNote

My wooden stylus

I have an iPad and a nexus s... The stylus works with both and wanted to share with you guys. I do recommend this stylus for drawing and note taking. I'm sure this will work with honeycomb tablets.
This stylus is called the E. Stylo stylus for capacitive screens.
e.stylo features:
- lightweight
- both tips work at different angles
- no extra pressure is needed for it to work
- works with gloves on
- smoothly glides over the screen
The final price of e.stylo will be $15.95 plus $4.99 US shipping and $7.99 for international shipping.
Purchased from http://www.Plai.tv/ if any artist/note takers are interested.
I also made a video of it....(videos in my signature) Check it out if u want to see how it responds on the nexus and iPad.
You can scroll the pictures to the right... sorry about the huge pics.

LOL nice
it looks like a small chopstick or a very thick toothpick
which BTW works the same way, in fact any soft edge pointy stick will do just the same
personally i prefer to use my finger nails to write, it's 100% natural in writing and you carry it with you all the time
It's very nice.... Just like a chopstick (edgy), as long as a pencil, and lightweight but not too light.... those pics suck.
I cant wait for the samsung tab, this would be a great stylus for it.
Once Sammy is out, I'm throwing the iPad in the trash. (for sale)

Vangoddy Case - wrist support cases?

Hey guys,
I like to watch a bit of tv/video in bed on my Nexus 7, but have found it quite uncomfortable on the wrists after a while, especially if I am (as I like to do), laying on my side. So I have been looking for a case/cover which might provide a little relief to the wrist. To be honest I've not found much. Perhaps you guys can point me in the right direct for alternative solutions. The only thing I've so far found is a "Vangoddy Cases" available on Amazon here.
Anyway, for those of you who have had similar thoughts/have problems with arthritis etc I thought I'd flag this product up. Anyone find anything else please do let me know by replying to this post.
I know the youtube vid is not for the Nexus but you get the idea!
Cheers.

This is what I ordered for mine. My old 8.9 Galaxy Tab case was like this, except this one has a hand strap which I wish I had with my old case.

Yes I have the hard case (Harlin) , since I traveling on a crowded metro to and from work. There's a pouch for usb cases.
PS this "Logitech" bluetooth keyboard for Android 3+ works
all special keys work {calendar, mail, Google music app, volume}, but
the browser does not { need to investigate}.
I love my Nexus 7 - stock and all.

I just tried a Belkin case that used those corner straps and it covered up the power button.

Screen only cover?

Does anyone know if the magnets on the N7 would support an iPad smart cover style front?
I had a wooden Miniot smart cover for my iPad and loved it. And I love how the N7 feels in the hand so I don't want to add bulk.
I've not heard of any though...

Looks sweet! This would match perfectly with my Mica Plank watch
I sent an email request to see if they will even think of creating one for the N7. We'll see :fingers-crossed:
We won't ever see this I think. The iPad has 2 sets of magnets. One of the left to anchor the case, one on the right to turn the screen on/off. The N7 has one on the left for on/off only.
Such a shame. I hate how much bulk most cases add.
Better keep my eyes open for the thinnest case I can find.

I sent them an email yesterday and have yet to hear a response. I'll update if there is an answer. :fingers-crossed:

Got a response today and they said no. :crying:
Hunt goes on! LOL
Considering the back of the N7 can come off with a fingernail, we almost need a replacement back for the N7, with an attached screen flap. I think there's an antenna in the stock back though... so an aftermarket case may exclude that. Not sure if it's just a NFC antenna or what?

Replacement Spen with retractable tip?

Does anyone know of a replacement Spen with retractable tip on the market? Google searched this and found nothing. Another solution to this issue would be an after market Wacom digitizer in a metal casing.

Not all Wacom pens are compatible. I know mine isn't.
Has anyone found aftermarket wacom pen that's compatible with the note 2?

How about this?:

I bought one and use it nearly all the time.
I don't think there is any retractable S Pen tip.
I had a review on my own thread about S Pens.

SG Note II rooted with stock 4.1.2
I just picked up one of these - works well: http://www.ebay.com/itm/310510020095?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
It's not retractable, but it's a little bigger/thicker and has a clip so you can hang it on a pocket.

Yup, other than having an eraser end, it also has changeable nib tips. You either want the plastic easy glide or the rubber nosed one. I got mine for about $24.
SG Note II rooted with stock 4.1.2

Perfect Universal car mount.

Just though I would post a really nice mount that works well with the Note II from any carrier as well as nearly any other phone, Happen to come across this while looking for Christmas present ideas and picked one up for myself and love it so far.
It uses a nice small metal plate that you can put in the back of a case or even a smaller round one that fits perfectly between the back cover and the battery/housing then holds the phone securely without any bulky snap in annoying part. Here's an URL (since I can't post links just yet) to the page for it as well if you want one which I really recommend since its only like $30 and way better than those cheap ones you can find at Walmart or anything you would find for more.
"amazon.com/gp/product/images/B008IOQ3K6/ref=dp_image_z_0?ie=UTF8&n=2335752011&s=wireless"
Let me know what you guys think. Hope this helps some searching for some of you!
Here's some photos of it for a quick glance.

THis has been posted before. The problem with this is that its magnetic and will at least while in use cause your spen and compass to not work. Not sure about long term effects , but samsung warns against magnets.
Iphone SUX
I havent see it effect anything while using the gps at this point. Still trlls me where im going and where im at but ill up date if something changes.
And k.0.0.l iphones do sux but why they still post them in photos of stuff I could not say why.

It really is the best universal mount. It does NOT affect the compass because our device uses GPS. It only affects the s-pen if the magnet is close enough to the tip (probably not close enough if using a case).
