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 haven't had any - I'm happily using my Holder kit on both of my Notes.

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.

i was wondering if you guys have found any compatible pens that don't have a huge offset compared to the original s-pen..i'm trying out a penabled wacom pen from amazon but its off by an amount that really throws me off while trying to take notes..how does the pen-holder one compare?

Note II is bigger than Note 1
Thanks
I tried my brother's note 2 official case and it didn't fit at all.... Not only the note 2 is a bit larger, the shape isn't quite the same.
Note 2 is a bit larger? Note II is a bit smaller overall, it's just a bit taller but thinner and less wide.
NOTE 1: 146.9 x 83 x 9.7 mm
NOTE 2: 151.1 x 80.5 x 9.4 mm
There is no way you can fit it, even with mods.
the keys are not in the same place as Note1 anyway so wont work
Note II is bigger than Note 1.....so impossibility will fit in to the case
I can't find a gel case for galaxy camera 2 . In uk .
Any ideas ... eBay only has the leather ones and generic camera bags. My wife needs one for her camera as we are going on holiday soon

I hate removing my case just to fit it into Samsung's Gear VR for the Note 8. And I hear that Google's Daydream should fit even with a case?
Is there that big of a difference between the 2 VR headsets? I don't know much about these.
Daydream is Google's vr, oculus is what Samsung uses. Daydream kind of sandwiches your phone into it where as Samsung locks it in with hardware clips. I haven both, but prefer oculus myself. Both work well.
Daydream works well for me
Has anybody used the Note 8 with a plastic Google Cardboard viewer? The Viewmaster VR was my go to viewer for all my phones but the Note 8 barely fits without a case, I'm afraid I'll scratch it up if I keep using it like that. All the other VR viewers have a maximum 6" phone size limit

I just bought my first cheap VR headset (first foray into VR) that said it was for up 6" phones and the note 8 fits perfectly

So some of those 6" max ones fit? What was the name/brand of your VR set?

I put it down to the Note 8's slim bezel and it only being a matter of 0.3"

Thanks! Yeah, when they say 6", they probably mean Apple or phones with gigantic bezels.
is my note 8 gear vr compatible with cardboard?

What do you mean? GearVR and Cardboard are two different VR platforms/headsets.
Note 8 obviously works with the GearVR. And it also works with Google Cardboard, since someone just a few posts up started they were using it with a Carboard headset.
Looking for serious note users. Was wondering the best s pen to use for longer writing sessions. I have tried the one with my note 12.2 pro and the one with my note 8.0 . Looking for some ideas. I thought I saw someone using the tab 3 s pen in a thread but I can't seem to find it. I like the larger style better for sure, for longer writing sessions.
Thanks
Maybe surface pen will work?

My tab s3 s-pen works.
Steadler pen/pencil
Any Wacom Digitizer pen will work .. eveny my 1st Gen surface pen works
Apple Pencil maybe ?

Sorry could not resist.
But seriosly the Apple Pencii is really great. I use it at work together with my iPad. It is close to normal writing on paper
From past experience not all wacom pens are fully compatible
The wacom stylus feel for galaxy note is compatible, same size and diameter as a full length pen, very hefty (weight and size), has a mechanical feel to it, ironically i personally never did like how it felt in the hand.
The wacom smart for galaxy note is also compatible, have not tried this one so no personal experience
And finally the s-pen from the galaxy tab S3, which actually is a really nice pen, it's about 3/4 length of a standard pencil, though it's feels a little light in the hand it has a really nice textured finished on the whole barrel (feels like rubber). I personally think it's size and weight is perfect for the note 8.
Been doing some research on this as well. Wacom Styluses using EMR technology will work on our Notes, but not newer technology. This is why only the first and second generation Surface pens work, but not the 3rd generations or newer. The newest Wacom Intuos styluses will also not work.

For the note line of devices Wacom actually uses what they term as "penabled" technology, only penabled compatible devices will work (these tend to be screens that support both capacitive touch and EMR pen). Gen 1 and 2 surface pro were using wacom penabled tech, microsoft brought N-Trig and used that tech for gen 3 onward (it's actually an active pen which requires AAAA batteries to work).
samsung XE700T1A slate 7 line had a full size pen (though some what slim), it was lightweight and had an eraser on the end (note 8 does not seems to recognize the function and acts like a pointer, but have not exhaustively tested against all apps). The Fujitsu lifebooks ive been told supported a pen with 2 buttons, but not had opportunity to test these out. Other notable makers are Asus with it's EEE Slate (full size pen) and lenovo (mini pen, slightly smaller than the galaxy tab S3)
Just a reminder for the OP: when using 3rd party pens, make sure to turn off "Spen detection" in power saving settings. The Note will ignore pen taps when that is enabled and an Spen is in the silo, so you'd think that the new pen is not working.

Oh.... That's what happened. I was wondering why it wouldn't work without the original s pen removed.
Thanks!!

But wouldn't keeping the screen energized for s-pen at all times, use extra battery power? And let me say from the beginning I have no idea if it's substantial amount or not to even worry about.
Yes keeping the screen active will drain some battery, though I don't think by very much as it will still sleep when screen sleeps.
Can also confirm eraser on the Samsung slate 7 pen will work as an eraser if the app can accomodate, sketchbook, Samsung note and artflow will utilise eraser, surprisingly OneNote and Photoshop sketch does not
Got the tab 3 s pen yesterday , what a difference. Feels good and no cramps after lots of writing. I would put up with the Note 8 being a bigger phone if they could fit this full size s pen in it! Today will see how much battery it uses since I set the the phone ro always detect so I don't have to pull the original s pen out.

Ok also got the steadler pencil as well. Works great, a little larger but just like holding and old school pencil. I really like both! Also , after 2 days now, I can tell no difference in battery life leaving the phone set to always detect s pen. I couldn't find a specific item in the battery menu that looked like the wacom screen, but really still awesome battery.

Which one do you prefer nuclearrage? Found no comparison of these 3 together!
- Samsung Galaxy Note 8 s pen
- Samsung Tab S3 s pen
- Steadler digital pencil
I also own a Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 and just love it! I use a S Pen Holder Kit so that if feels like a real pen. It has a et-s100ewegstd S Pen, which is the 1st S Pen ever released for the Note 1. I like it a lot, but not as precise as the original S Pen that comes with the note pro 12.2.
Would also the 2 other Samsung s pens work with the 12.2 ?
Thanks!

I don't know what u need the all this writing for but if u use it for school or work then I would use a tablet. I still got my beloved note 10.1 tablet and use it at work for quick notes for my daily report.
I wouldn't use a phone for lots of writing as it's too small to write longer S.A's and I can only imagine the annoyance of doing so.
Maybe keep an eye out if Sammy releases a new note tablet in the future if you find the note 10.1 to outdated.
Not that the above has anything to do with spen alternatives but just my two cents.

I have a note 12.2 , not waterproof and doesn't fit in my pocket. I use the spen for lots of notes , work and play. I also have little rite in the rain notepads when I am really roughing it. Just a personal preference.
