iPad Pogo stylus doesnt work for the NC, which stylus to get?

A friend has a iPad and a pogo stylus. I tried it on my NC and it doesnt work, when I try to draw a line it turns into a mess of dashed lines.
Which styles works well with the NC?

use the nook screen recalibrate app and push harder with the stylus (not too hard though because it could break the stylus).
it won't be perfect but it'll be better

The nook has major issues with any stylus. I have never heard of anyone actually finding one that works.

Yep, my Pogo Sketch doesn't work that well with my Nook; works great with my iPad, though.

i would love to see if someone test the jot on nook color... : )

I recently ordered a Dagi P301 stylus for $13. They threw in a P505 as well for free. They both work well. I like the P301, which is thinner better, but I think the p505 worked as well. I tried it out in Sketchbook and had no spaces in the lines I was drawing.

Well, tried the Red Jot... The result is terrible. Doted lines and the tip disc doesn't slide very well on the screen surface. Thinking in the DAGi P502, that was reported work well on nook's screen...

I got the Griffin GC16040 stylus for Christmas; I was hoping to start using some of the handwriting apps on my Nook. Too bad the lines are all broken.
I tried the stylus on my new Galaxy phone and it works beautifully, so it's not the stylus' fault.
Anyone tried on the nook without a screen protector? I have one on but did not want to take it off just to test the stylus.

I bought one in a package with screen protectors on Amazon, never got a very satisfying result.

a good stylus would be helpful to me too. sometimes i have paint on my hands... lol

I got the 3-pk stylus for $4.99 at the same time when I ordered the black leather case from CrazyOnDigital. I have been using one of them and it works great on Nook Color (in CM7). I can even draw something with it.

Poetic Slimline for Nook HD

Just purchased and received the Poetic Slimline case for the Nook HD. Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-SLIMLI...804667&sr=8-2&keywords=nook+hd+7"+poetic+case
Currently the case is just $6.95 with free shipping. Current as of 2/13/2013
The case has has a plastic base that clips on over the body of the Nook HD. This helps to make the fit very snug while adding very little to the depth of the device. There are cut outs for the volume rocker, headphone jack and for the power button. The bottom of the case is left mostly open for access to the micro sdcard, proprietary port and the LED light hole. There are also two holes for the speakers on the back.
The plastic case is covered with a faux leather type material. This allows for a relatively tacky area so the device will not slip out of your hand. This material also covers the front of the device protecting the screen of the Nook HD. On the inside of the front cover is a soft velvet like material that is nice and soft preventing scratches on the screen. The front cover can also be tri-folded behind the device to act as a stand for the tablet. This occurs in landscape mode allowing for a decent angle to watch movies or other videos. It does not provide any support in the portrait mode though so it will not help with reading books.
The front cover clicks in to place with the back plastic via magnets. This helps to secure the cover so that it does not flop open. It also provides for a way to turn your Nook HD on and off when opening or closing the case. This is a great feature that will actually bypass the normal lock screen so that when you finish opening the case your device is on and ready to go. However, if you enable the password lock screen then you will still need to unlock and then type in your code.
This case comes with a 3 year warranty from Poetic which is very unusual for cases but is a great feature to have.
One con I found in this device after its arrival was that there were some threads coming out from between the two material types on the front cover of the case. This were easily clipped to make things look better but it does take away from the idea of the case being of top quality. My only other concern is how well the materials will hold up while using the front cover as a stand. If used very frequently it could lead to cracking of the front cover. However, I will only be able to tell that over time and not for the day that I have had the case so far.
So far I am very impressed with the Poetic Slimline case for the Nook HD. I recommend anyone looking for a nice slim case to pick one up.
4.5 out of 5 stars.

Looks really good. Thanks for the pics!

I liked the ceiling design and lighting

This looks great. Exactly what i have been looking for on HD+. this is avilable also for HD+ at $8.95.
Poetic likes to throw out introductory prices and then increase it once it gets popular, so i would order now it you want one, even if it is not available for another 1-2 weeks, for the prices may increase by then.

Better that than me in the picture.

Did i forgot mention you?!? I know why ... I just dont like any case on mob/tab and etc devices. Only acceptable are film skins which ones give a sense of the real item.

Questions: I had a Poetic portfolio case, had one dumb thing, pen holder on the back surface. Is there one on this? Also, I like to be able to stand it up in portrait mode for reading, but I think this one only stands in landscape, right?
Thanks

There is nothing on the back. So no worries there.
This case is not designed for portrait use. It might stand straight up in portrait but it won't be very stable and there is no way to change the angle.

Far and away the best commercial case I've had for a tablet flavored device. And half the cost of the nearest competitor in the
'decent case' catetory, and that one was for a 5" Samsung media player.
I get the impression that these are from a maker who also makes iPad cases and uses many of the same materials. The front has three
longitudinal strips of material - but the third is narrower than the first two. I'll compare it to a smart cover tomorrow - my memory is
that that cover has three bands of equal-breadth material on the front
The fit in the rear is good as delivered, but may start to loosen up over time, and doesn't have a cutout to match the grommet
in the corner. I may add a cutout (I have a grommet setter for fabric) and then use a shoelace or similar to fasten down the back
on that side. That could also get me a loop for a stylus, which would be useful to me. The fit across the front is a little too
long and a little too wide, which will annoy me over time or I may get used to it.
The cover activates the wake from sleep in CM10. The device sleeps itself after a minute by default, which is fine with me.
All in all, 8 out of 10.

I knew prices would go up. It is now $19 for hd+ and $17 for HD. Those who got in at intro price got themselves a great case (myself included). It is exactly what i have been loking for.

Glad I got it when I did then.

As long as you're OK with black, those are still at 8.95.

i think i got the last 8.95 one as after i ordered, the price jumped to 12.95. maybe it's back down now, haven't checked.
anyway after about a week of use, i like the case for the price but have some minor quibbles. the case is a bit creased/folded on the edges when it shipped, so it doesn't perfectly conform to the shape of the HD+. maybe over time it will smooth out.
the stand notch is not very solid and i've had it slip when i'm moving around, not sure if that's standard for case stands. also the "hand strap" is kind of hard to pull out, but i mostly use it in landscape mode so not a big deal.
like i said not a big deal especially for the price, but not a perfect case.

I think we're talking different covers here. I thnk your cover is the "Poetic slimbook", not the "Slimline". Still good to hear you views on it!

Thanks for the tip. Now $15 for the black HD+ one on Amazon. Still a decent price :cyclops:

Anyone has a hint how to order Poetic to a Europe country other than UK at a low price?
I can order at amazon.co.uk for 20GBP + 6GBP shipping (= 40 USD) which seems a bit high compared to 6 GBP price on UK Ebay (but from where I can't get it shipped to Slovenia).

[Q] Is it possible to replace a broken screen

So after much deliberation over which tab to get I plumped for a nook HD, got a cracking deal via eBay, bought a memory card, installed android as a dual boot, absolutely loving it. Had it exactly one week and... dropped a bottle of beer and cracked the top of the screen. Haven't even had it long enough for the lovely leather case I ordered for it to arrive. Gutted.
Anyway, can someone please let me know if its possible to replace the screen and how much it would cost. I'm in the UK.
The nook is still usable as it is, if a little delicate, but the cracks will soon worsen I'm sure.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Probably not since he bought from ebay. Assuming it is used of course.
Haven't heard of any place that has replacement parts so far though.

Well, he still might be able to get it fixed through B&N, even if he has to pay.

I have already contacted B&N and they basically told me feck off as they have no repair centre. If it gets any worse then I'll see what options there are for fixing it myself. Gulp.
Thanks

yep, BN also says to throw the device out and get a new one when the battery is end of life. The advantage to buying from BN is that you can get the full replacement warranty at sales time.
FWIW, the warranty (standard 1 year for defects, or extra dollar replacement) from BN transfers with the device, so a used HD / HD+ does have that warranty. Sadly, it does not include damage sustained in bar fights.
I looked for the teardown and am only seeing one for the HD+ units (via the FCC) - it was originally described as an HD teardown, but it is not.
I'm not seeing a source for a 1440 x 900 IPS touchscreen display, let alone a 7" one but I know there are shops who can order spare iPhone screens and even fit them for you. Definitely worth calling one or two of those if you have any locally - they may only be able to source Apple replacements, or they may have a contact who can ask about these screens, too.

I have a similar situation; HD+ fell out of my wife's purse while unloading our son from the car and it landed screen-down on the pavement, cracking the screen. My question is this: does the entire screen module need to be replaced, or can the glass be replaced separately (assuming I can locate a source)? What are the part numbers for these options, if you have them?

I wrote it before that seems Nook HD+ dont have glass digitizer but some kind of special durable plastic. Anyway, i make before research and then give response.

Stylus on Nook HD+

I have bought a new Nook HD+ (32GB) for reading magazines. I think the B&N rendition of magazines is much better than Google.
However I am noticing that the screen of Nook HD+ does not allow smooth gestures like other Android tablets. Finger feels sticky drag. Same is true for the Vara stylus (made for this device by B&N). Because of this, you end up getting incorrect screen responses.
Is that common with Nook HD+ or just I have a defective unit. The software is stock 2.0.6.

The sticky feel is lack of a screen protector. Mine was that way until I got one. I think the bare screen is just sticky.

What kind of screen protector you have? I have the one by B&N and it is just as sticky as the bare screen.

After you have used the tablet for a few days the screen is not as sticky and it should work and feel better

[Q] Does anyone use a stylus pen?

I was wondering if anyone uses a stylus pen and if so why? Also, does the tip wear out to the point where the metal body is contacting the glass?
Is it used only for preventing oily markings on the screen?
Thanks for all input on this.

I just got the HD+ so can't give a thorough critique. I'm using two different styluses I got free from different vendors on eBay. I'm not to fond of using my fingers on the HD+ screen, the glass feels weird and gets messy quick. The styluses allow me to keep the screen clean and seem to get a better response than my fingers.
I just installed the Sketchbook Pro app for tablets. I'll add more after I play some.
I should also mention that I have a Note II and use the stylus for that all the time so I'm kinda partial to using one.
Hope this was helpful.
PS: I got the green stylus when I ordered a cover for my HD+ on eBay. The cover has a holder for it, very nice. Let me know if you want the vendor info.

Just want to say, "Thanks" for the feedback. :good:

If the tip is too soft, it does not work properly. It is convenient if you have a high quality one. Don't buy the cheap one.

Bought the $20 Brookstone stylus from Target. Use it all the time when I'm working with Inspire on the iPad. Haven't used it so much with the Nook yet, but I've used it with my Galaxy S3 when my fingers are messy.
I think it depends on what you want to use it for.
