So here I am liking the simple fact that my many capacitive styli' can interact with the nav-keys so when I did a random websearch for Spen replacement, that link drew my attention. Is this really a replacement capacitive-type that can fit inside my Note 2 because that would be sweet to have the advantage of the Note 3's stylus without actually getting a Note 3. Does a capacitive replacement for our Note 2 even exist?

That's the stylus that comes with the phone. They don't make a capacitive stylus that fits in the phone, that's what our fingers are for.
Here's the 1 review from Best Buy. Pretty much sums it all up.
This review is for: Samsung - S Pen Capacitive Stylus for Samsung Galaxy Note II Mobile Phones
What's great about it: Exact replacement
What's not so great: Nothing
Long story short I broke my S-Pen and needed a new one. However, no need for an in depth review, but for anybody who may think this is different from the S-Pen that came with the Galaxy Note II, it's not. It's the exact replacement for the Titanium Gray Note II S-Pen. Shipped very fast and glad to have my S-Pen back after a couple of weeks of searching online. To be honest $30 is quite a bit, but if you have any reward zone certificates, use them that way you're not paying 30 bucks for a replacement S-Pen. I looked around on Amazon and it was hard to find one that had positive reviews that said it was an exact replacement.
Would you recommend this product to a friend?
Yes

Of course there are fine tipped options out there, but no palm rejection and no levels of pressure sensitivity. Also, right when I thought I found the savior (Yufu Pro).. it was suppose to ship out mid 2014 and it is pushed back to early 2015. WTF? They won't even to respond to anyone I hear. It looks really promising, but I cannot wait any longer. It's not like I did not give different pens their fair shot. I recently purchased the long awaited Alupen which has a ultra fine tip housed in a thick body which I didn't mind, but couldn't find a glove that blocked my palm and finger input/did not want to wear a glove when I draw. Another note is there are no buttons so when I want to erase or undo it is a huge pain is the butt. And the thick point pen options are not accurate in my opinion as well as all the issues the Alupen has (one plus to note is no battery needed). Fine tip is worth it.
Is it too much to ask for a Slim Pen that has pressure sensitivity, bluetooth integration of course (My Tab S 8.4 has Bluetooth LE for goodness sake), at least 2 buttons, maybe an eraser tip, and most importantly a fine accurate point. They make them for the Ipad all the freaking time for years now. Ipad has a damn Cintiq highly accurate/quality pen that works flawlessly. It's not like our hardware is different. What issues prevent companies from saving us? Hardware? Software? SDK? Resolution? Latency? Android Phobia? I would love a detailed explanation. We even have high quality apps that can utilize all of these functionalities I have listed and more that I probably haven't even thought of. I have searched far and wide Google/XDA/YouTube and no luck so far. If there are good alternatives I'd love to help people like me who want to take notes or draw.
Wish Samsung could have just included the S-Pen :/
Could you use a Galaxy Note pen or something like that?
I see that hex3 site is selling Yufu Pro now. DO check..
Check all apps support this pen?
Wacom have released some tablet pens for not too much I think I saw?
Does any one know if we can get a spare stylus for the note 9? I don't need the blue tooth, or paired capabilities but the precision would be nice.
Or would any cheap eBay stylus work?

Well obviously you can, a 2 second eBay search would have told you that.
Maybe I was unclear. But I'd still like the cursor accuracy of a hovering s-pen. e.g the tiny cursor or pointer when the s-pen is over the screen.
I didnt think the cheap ebay ones could do. At least not according to the sellers I've asked. Or Can I pair2 genuine S-pen at the same time? But thanks for your response.
I have a Samsung 10.1 2014 tablet and tried it. It seems to work as usual. So you could pick up Note 8 one which would technically fit in into the slot. Or you could get the tablet one. You can find either on Amazon or eBay

That's awesome, so a second s-pen can work at the same time? Thank you for your time& your help.
A second spen will work, u just need to disable the detect spen in (enable power saving) in spen settings. Only the spen that is in the slot can use bluetooth.

Or better still you can check Samsungs website. Offers come up often. Just picked up a spare S-pen for under £15
The S-Pen from my Tab S4 and the S-Pen from my Notebook Pro 9 all work with my Note 9. I'd just buy another pen from Samsung's official store. Don't take a chance on third party. That way is full of heartache.
Picked up a brown Spen and brown LED case to match. Spen was £14.80 or something silly!
LED case was £29 in the same sale [emoji41]

I'm curious, for what do you need a spare stylus? Are you concerned about losing the original? Or are you wanting to use two stylii at the same time?
idk if I'm the only person whose had this problem. The Note8's Spen is thinner than previous model SPens, and I broke 3 (2 Samsung brand, one AWinner brand) between my fingers during normal use within the first 4 or 5 months of buying my Note 8.
I gave up after the 3rd one, but miss the pen sometimes.
Does anyone know of a sturdier 3rd party offering?
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
thx
I don't see how you can break your S-Pen as I find the S-Pen on the Note 8 to be quite sturdy.
I think that Spens are sufficiently strong and durable, only tip may ware out (after very intensive use) but those can be replaced...
Replacement S-pens will be cheapest option and the only option to fit in the phone.
There are third party - wacom compatible - pens available, e.g. from Bamboo, that will work with your Note 8 and may be stronger.

Could we some pics if you don't mind ? Will be helpful as a precaution tip.
Third party substitue
Staedtler Noris Digital
Get this if u r looking for a sturdier option... Of course you won't be able to keep it inside the phone.... But should be the best option available.....

I tend to disagree. I also own a Steadler Norris Digital. I find it quite fragile, mainly due to it's length. While it may not break during active use, I think it is vulnerable during transport/storage. Also the Steadler Norris lacks a button , which prevents use of functionalities in some apps (like activation of air command). It is a very nice replacement stylus though for specific purposes, I agree to that, but for me only for drawing on my larger Samsung Notebook 9 Pro.
Basically all S-pens are compatible between the Note series, and Samsung also has offered alternatives:
The full size pen for the Note 10.1 may be an option:

Samsung also has a stylus that holds a Note 1 S-pen, which I also own, and is quite sturdy as well:

Not sure whether the Samsung pens linked above are easy to buy...
Stylus holder seems good
That stylus holder thing looks good... Never heard about it... Let us know the reviews if you get hold of one.

I have that one since long time. I bought it when I owned a Note 2. Works flawlessly with all samsung Notes I have/had (Note 2, Note 4, Note 5, Note 10.1, Note 8, Notebook 9 Pro).
Holds much better than small S-pen from phone. Button is also easier to use. The stylus holder can only accommodate the Note 1 S-Pen - it was included with holder.
Althouth sensitivity of the S-pen has supposedly improved over the note series, when using the holder with enclosed Note 1 S-pen with Note 8 I do not notice the limited pressure sensitivity of that old S-Pen compared to the Note 8's own S-pen.
You may find the holder on ebay or other site...

I don't have pics but they all just broke in half. not much to see
S Pen from Note10+ fits and works, and more S Pen is newer version made from one plastic part instead of two pars on original Note 8, and much harder to break The downside - it's shorter, so to press push button you need to use little finger nail
I recently bought a used Note 8 off of eBay and when I looked at the included Spen, I noticed it had what appeared to be felt on the very end of the plastic tip (see attached image). I also have a Note 4 and the tip is entirely made out of plastic so my question is if the Spen on the note 8 supposed to have this little area with felt on it or is this a knockoff?
Yeah dint worry thats normal
I have never seen a Spen tip worn like this.
If the Spen works on Note 4, it is a genuine Spen and also Note 4 Spen should work on Note 8.
Just replace the tip, could be done with replacement tip of your Note 4.

The thread just ended right there. That photo you uploaded looks sketchy, to say the least. The tip is not even up for debate.
Thanks for the replies, I returned the phone and got a refund.
One does not simply return a phone due to a fake s pen.
Buying a genuine s pen is cheap, once the phone is in good condition.
If you can pull out the tip of the pen. Then chances are you probably have a genuine S-Pen.
Off a slight tangent just broke mine last night and immediately ordered one off eBay..let's see how that goes lol

This looks like the beginning of another bad story.
Please post a link to the actual item you purchased. A genuine "replacement" OEM spen ONLY comes in Black or a Grayish-Purple.
You can't buy any NEW spen in any other color directly from Samsung.
