Stylus - Nexus 10 Accessories

I wanted to give my recommendation for The Friendly Swede 7" metal stylus pack I purchased on Amazon. I got this for use on my Nexus 10, and since then I'm using it with a wide variety of graphics and photo apps. I never realized the delight of image manipulation on a tablet, especially one with such a high resolution as this one. This stylus has really made me appreciate this tablet purchase, so I'm recommending it to anyone who enjoying playing around with images, or does serious digital artwork.

Agree, only thing better is the S-Pen technology on Samsung's Note series. Their pen records pressure levels so the amount of ink is controlled by the level of press.
N10 with Sketchbook has you hold it in the same location for a longer period of time for more ink.

Any fine tip stylus'?

I visited my local dollar store earlier and found a cheap stylus for 2 dollars. It works well but the only thing I don't like is the rounded tip. I'm looking for more of a shape of a pen with a pointy tip. Preferably really cheap for a dollar or so from ebay or any online retailer that ships to Canada. Any ideas?

Bumping for interest. I've had bad luck with rounded ones on my old TF101. I've love something with a fine point.
Well I found this:

Not sure how well it will work though. I don't really need 3 but its only 3 dollars so...

Hmm, how come there is a lack of fine point stylus'? Is it something to do with the screen and only rounded edges working or something?

It's not a real graphics tablet (the kind photoshop users have). Capacitive screens just aren't that accurate. You have the same issue w/ the ipad screen.
If you want something w/ the accuracy of the Galaxy Note, get the Note. It uses Wacom technology which actually is accurate...
how about jot? http://adonit.net/product/jot/ are you talking about this one?
Read my link. There is a limited resolution with capacitive devices...

Saw that, but meh the fragile disc and the price is a turn off. I guess I'll just stick with my cheapo stylus for the time being. It does my sort of writing well enough anyway.

Coming soon, a "finer" point stylus for cap. touch screens.
The problem is the screen tech. Because of the way they work, it requires a larger point of contact. They aren't real precise for writing or drawing. This is all cap screens including iDevices.
The Note and Flyer uses a combination of screen techs and pen tech. The pen has sensors that detects pressures and communicates to the device (I guess). That or there is there an additional screen layer that has pressure sensors.
Old school resistive screens are much more accurate.

I have the Adjonit Pro and love it. Works great even with the screen protector and am getting better at Draw Something with it LOL
I've been on the search for a fine tipped stylus & haven't found anything that works consistently. I just use the cheap-o stylus from Amazon.

Revue of the Plai Estylo Stylus
Report on the Plai Estylo stylus -
If you're not familiar with it, see this: http://plai.tv/blog/estylo-11
and this video of how precisely the tip can be used: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhKb32LWL28
I got the Estylo in this morning's mail. I like it a lot. Tested it with Autosketch Sketchbook Pro, Fresco Pro, and Lecture Notes. It produces slightly cleaner (slightly more legible) handwriting strokes than the Kuel H12 stylus. I also notice that it both glides more smoothly, but with a very firm feel (the tip material has almost no give to it in comparison with a rubber or silicone tip.) To be fair, you still can't use a tiny, tiny point to draw with - you have to angle the tip to get more of it in contact with the surface. BUT, you can easily see where you are drawing/writing.
Now if there was a clip on it, so I could keep in in my pocket without fear of losing it, it would be ideal. BTW, it's extremely light weight (4 grams.)
So, I am a long time Galaxy Note user. Someone who has become dependent on the S Pen. I have also become dependent on a removable battery...
I use my S Pen all day practically every day for work and I work in a low signal area. The Galaxy Note was definitely the phone for me until Samsung decided to pull the plug on removable batteries.
I have been very interested in LG's new G5 (hey, it has a removable battery!) but I am having a lot of trouble finding a fine point stylus, similar to the S Pen, that will work with the G5's capacitive screen.
Looking through XDA forums I have come across not only this thread but another...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/how-to-make-fine-stylus-t2933326
I have not yet tried this but have high hopes.
There is no SPen replacement. I have a Note 5. The Note Line has a special pen digitizer layer that allows the use of a fine stylus.
There are several fine point regular pens, but none really compare.
I've never used one of these but it's probably your best bet.

What stylus to buy?

I am waiting for my device but I want to buy samo accessories for it. This is my first capacitive tablet and I want to buy a good stylus for it. My wife will use it for drawing - so it will be nice if it is suitable for this too.

Personally, I got Andonit Jot Pro because I wanted to be able to write as thin as possible (when needed). Especially, at one point owning Note 10.1, I missed the S-pen experience. So I got Andonit Jot Pro based on the review for my transformer infinity, which i also tried to use on my wife's ipad 2.
Though I can tell you one thing. Capative screen stylus is nothing but a finger replacement. So accuracy is nowhere that of inductive technology e.g. Galaxy Note 10.1, Wacom Pen devices. Furthermore, there is no palm rejection i.e. as soon as your palm touches screen it recognizes the palm.
So to be honest, even cheap stylus would still do the job. if I could return my andonit stylus, I would have and just kept using my 3 for $5 stylus over $20+ Andoit Jot pro.
So, as far as the pressure sensitivity goes, the adonit joint pro does work? It's the lack of palm rejection that's bothersome?
EDIT: My bad, it's a capacitive stylus. There are pressure-sensitive styluses for Android, but I don't think they are supported in apps which makes them pretty useless.

You are absolutely right. I believe at least on iPad people tried couple different things such as using bluetooth signal, or even using ultrasound to make pressure sensitivity. As you have figured those pen are usually very expensive. Last I recall are almost close to $100. Even the pressure sensitivity works (which i am still skeptical) but even then two major issues:
1. application support - just as you said. Each app has to support it individually and not many app does that. Simply because most android device don't have the capability. So why would devs implement such.
2. Lack of accuracy/palm rejection - Without these simply your writing experience won't be a real i.e. yes you can right here and there for fun, but for practical use such as taking note, you will quickly learn that actually doing such on real paper would be faster.
Careful with the Jot Pro. I own one, and it scratched the living daylights out of my Nexus 7 and Xoom. While it's by far the most precise (since it let's you look at the precise location where you will write), it's not worth it to me if it means scratching the screen. I also refuse to use a screen protector because of how they make my fingers feel when swiping across the screen.
As a decent replacement, I now use the Boxwave Evertouch, which I bought on Amazon for about $10. It's nowhere near as precise as the Jot Pro, but it won't scratch my precious N10. I still use the Jot Pro on my Xoom and N7 since they're already scratched.

I used a Cosmonaut stylus for a year on an IPad 2 with the Notheshelf App. It was a great stylus and the app gave you what they called "wrist protection". Basically horizontal and perpendicular lines where you could set your palm without leaving marks, so you could write just with the stylus. (they don't have this app for android... i asked them)
Now that I am moving to a Nexus 10 (my first android device) I am looking for an App with this characteristics. Can anyone recommend one?

I think lectures notes has a "palm safe zone"
I'II have to monitor my screen for scratches from the Jot stylus. I found I was having to grip the stylus too hard because of the aluminum body of the stylus. Also, any dirt or oils on the screen greatly reduce the sensitively of the Jot stylus, even trapping dirt between the hard plastic stylus tip and screen. Therefore, those of you using the Jot may wish to consider keeping your screen really clean. A second idea that has really helped is getting a length of heat-shrink tubing from an electronics store and shrinking it around the barrel of the stylus. This has given me a much more comfortable grip.
However, I will have to keep an eye out for scratches. So far, so good.

Correct, & Papyrus Beta also has palm recognition. (Pressure sure there's one more app too, maybe Antipaper.)
As for the stylus, I currently have a cheap Griffin stylus and a Wacom Bamboo stylus. Between the two, Wacom's Bamboo stylus seems to be very popular and IMO it is much more accurate than the cheapo options.
I use the Bamboo pretty much everyday to take notes in class, it's a great option if your looking for an alternative to the Adonit stylus.
I'm getting the gosmart , it has the thinnest most Accurate tip and its got a spring on the front that makes it pressure sensatibe in a way

pogo connect
I have been doing some research on stylus out there and the Pogo Connect seams to be one of the best things out there. Its supposed to work through Bluetooth
anyone knows if it will work with our Nexus 10 and if there are Android apps that will support it? that would be great!
I'm beginning to see a few scratches on my screen from the Jot Pro. It looks like a single event as if a small grain of sand got caught between the stylus and screen. I may try some sort of screen protector.
Has anyone reported scratches from other styli?
Sent from my GT-P3113 using xda app-developers app
I send an email to the guys that manufacture the Pogo Connect, this is their answer, sorry:
----------------------------
Thanks for writing in. Pogo Connect is not compatible with Android tablets. We'd love to see Pogo Connect be as universal as possible, including support for Android systems. We've talked through some compatibility ideas, but we're just not sure yet if we'll be able to make it happen.
Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions.

so i am thinking of getting the jotpro stylus for my nexus 10 but after reading this thread i am a bit concerned with the scratched issue some users talked about. does it come from the stylus or because of sand or something trapped between the screen and the plastic plate? i want to use the stylus indoors for notes on my university.
Hand stylus is amazing. 4mm tip gives great accuracy. Also you can get 6 replacement tips for $10.
When I say sand, I'm not referring to beach or outdoor sand. I'm referring to tiny abrasive particles, normally too small to notice. Perhaps I should have said dirt, contaminants, or some other term. The hard plastic tip of the Jot pro requires more downwards force than other styli. I don't believe the tip itself does the scratching, but hard tiny debris pressed into the glass by the Jot pro.
Has any one tried the Jot pro with a screen protector?

I just saw the adonit version has also a pressure sensitive version if you are looking to take serious notes or draw. but a regular fine point will only help to see where you are writing, they're all the same.

Any chance you can provide a picture of that stylus? Snap a crappy photo with a phone camera or, the Nexus 7 perhaps?
I have a Walgreens like 2 blocks away and I've yet to see anything like that at one, but there are several others here in Las Vegas I can check on, just need to know what I'm looking for, or a brand name, product/model number, etc. If you have the original receipt for it when you bought it, the Walgreens SKU code (product number) would help too.
Here are the three pictures. The blue one is the walgreens one. The black is a normal size stylus. The head half the size at least. It not fine point but small enough to help.

Adonit is the best I've seen. However these capacitive touch screens aren't going to give you fine control. That's the downside to the technology. The Adonits have smaller contacts but won't magically give you a pressure sensitive pen such as a Galaxy Note. It has additional screen tech layers that give it that ability.
Just don't want you to be dissatisfied or have too high of hopes.

I just ordered the Kuel H10. I'll let you know how it is once it arrives if you're interested. I had another one but that was pretty bad, so I'm hoping the Kuel is an improvement.
You won't get something fine tipped like a ball point with a capacitive screen. The screen needs a large area (Relative to a fine tipped stylus) the size of a finger tip close to the screen, and takes the center of the area interacting with the screen to find the tap point.
The way the Note, Note 2, etc get a fine tipped stylus is by using additional technology to the capacitive screen.
The closest thing you can get is a stylus that has a pad the correct area, and has a pivot at the pad to provide the approximate feel of a fine tipped stylus like so:
This is an adonit Jotpro.
They still have the drag of a larger stylus, but give a pretty good feel. Be prepared to spend a bit more; a jotpro is around $25.
The tips on those things are pretty fragile I hear. Have not tried them myself.
My Kuel H10 just arrived today, and so far I like it. Though it's absolutely tiny.. and I have small hands. For someone with big hands it would feel like a toothpick almost. The tip on it is pretty great though, so that's a plus.

I bought the BoxWave EverTouch about three weeks ago and I really like it. The main challenge with using any stylus on a tablet is not touching your palm to the screen, but after I've adjusted to it, I really enjoy using it. I primarily utilize it to take notes at school, but I've recently begun doing my calculus homework and exporting it as pdf in FreeNote. The microfiber tip has virtually no drag on the screen and while it's not as precise as the adonit jot pro, it's much more durable and I feel like it holds up quite well. Not bad for $10.
The biggest downside of using this stylus is the diameter of the tip is bigger than I want. After a bit of adjusting I can make mostly accurate marks but I'm still on the lookout for a stylus with this same capacitive microfiber tip with a smaller diameter.
Look for "Boxwave EverTouch" on amazon.

DIY Phone Stand "Gear Ties"

I'm always tinkering and fixing things. Long story short I was looking for zip ties at Home Depot and found these "Gear Ties". Steel flexible wire, coated in rubber, all different sized and thicknesses. Super useful, that being said I made a stand for my Note 2 with one. Works really well, it has held its shape and its very sturdy and grippy. Figured Id share.
I also made one for my Nexus 7 with a bigger Gear Tie. Neat tool, highly recommended.

Looking for a Solid Keyboard case similar to the Transformer

I use my GNex10 for business a lot. I'm in Inusrance and it's such a convenient form factor to carry around. Even compared to my Lenovo x220. The instant "powerup" of android and the long battery life are so nice. I use it to carry reference material (pdfs), do quick google searches, and even do online applications/sales. Saving me from tons of paperwork every night.
I have a "M edge" bluetooth keyboard case that's not bad, but it's flimsy and difficult to use if not on a flat surface. I was dreaming, like many, of google releasing the official keyboard dock, but as we know that never happened. Are there any good keyboard covers/cases out there?

OK, so it turned up annd I'm typing this reply on it now! Contruction seems pretty good, it is made from a mixture of aluminium and plastic and feels robust.
Typing on it isn't ideal... the keys are somewhat smaller than a full size keyboard. It's not too bad though. I reckon once i've got a little more used to it I should be able to type pretty quickly on it. It's already MUCH quicker than using the onscreen keyboard!
There doesn't seem to be any lag when typing. The gap the tablet slots into is well made. The tablet feels securely docked, I think the may be a magnet holding it in place as I can actually pick the tablet up when docked and it brings the keyboard with it!
I like the way it clips on to the front of the N10, doubling as a protective cover when travelling. It also makes a great stand for your tablet.
Overall, colour me impressed! Like some of you guys I was considering the latest Transformer but I think this keyboard is enough to put me off. For 20 pounds I'd definitely reccomend it.
Downsides: It's a US keyboard, so no pound key. It's not super light: It probably weighs a couple of hundred grams alone. I doesn't have a touchpad mouse, though to be fair given its size I don't think it would be possible to fit one it.

Does this keyboard have android keys? I see what looks like a back button but does it have home, menu etc? Thx.
Does it really hold the device steady enough? The reviews for this keyboard on Amazon are terrible. Apparently it is prone to screwing up the bezel and dropping the N10.
