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.

Hey,
Just brought a Belkin case from PCWorld designed for the Galaxy Tab 2 10" and its a perfect fit. Holding the Nexus 10 up to the Tab 2 it's easy to see why. They are pretty much identical. Has the 3 fold design too. Now if I could just fit a small magnet under the material it would switch off when closed
Pictures to follow!
Whats the product name of the case you bought im heading to pc world later
Its called the Belkin Tri-Fold Folio with stand.
Luckily the shape of the corner grips means that although it covers part of the power button it doesn't actually touch it.
Thanks for the pics!

Came up at £34.99 but as soon as I said the price was wrong they did it for £29.99 without any questions.
What would you rate it on a scale of 1/10?
Does the back align with the camera as well?

Thanks, I just ordered one. My N10 comes today due to UPS leaving it at their shipping facility on Friday
Thanks! Needed something to protect my baby until the hardshell keyboard cases come out!
I just ordered a zoogue galaxy tab case. Says it fits both tab 10.1s.
I have a zoogue case for my Xoom and I love it.
It is a bit pricey ($55 shipped) and I would call it more of a couch / indoor case.
I will post pics when I get it. The race is on both N10 and case where ordered tonight!
Only problem with the tab cases is they cover a good portion of the side speakers I hate not having a case on this thing...

Yes I seen that. I hope it does not sound to bad.
I just really like the adjustability of the case. I can go all the way forward or all the way back and any place in between.. Not just 3 notches like many cases similar to this.
I'm very excited and can't wait or sleep for that matter.. Ha
awesome! looks like a nice case. Will stop by a best buy tomorrow to try her out.
just bought one and it doesn't fit

What case does not fit?
pcworld gave me the wrong one (ipad).
Just picked mine up today. It's great. Even has a little tab to slide a stylus into.
I just installed the Spigen Oleo plastic protector, and while it's a good as such go, it's no glas.t. I had the Glas.t on my Note 1 and loved it.
With the Oleo (and I'm sure other covers would be the same) the pen moves very roughly, not at all what you'd want if you are taking notes and want accuracy.
Very disappointed. I'm sure the reason is the complaints about edges not sticking and such... but if they'd simply include 2 in every package, like with the plastics, there's be less of an issue with returns. I loved mine, no issues with edges.
If any of you feel the same please make your voices heard with Spigen so that they might reconsider and produce the cover.
Any we needed another thread for this?

Now i did read this thread but i dont remember if anyone asked. Isnt the Galaxy S3 screen curved like the Note 2? I asked Spigen if they were making the screen protector and they said the curved screen is why they are not making it.

Yes the s3 has a curved screen. I believe they had problems with the s3 glass screen protector thats why they chose not to make one for the note 2.

After using the Spigen Oleophobic screen I'm a lot less concerned about the lack of the glas.t. The spen slides over this protector like glass as it is, so no real need for the glas.t after all. Happily surprised.
they did it!!
actually they finally made one for galaxy note 2 and it's very expensive!... check the below link:-

i remember they did release glas.t for note 2, but they all had some weird sensitivity problem. thus they have decided to not make anymore for the note 2. but i could be wrong. or i remembered it wrongly, and the sensitivity issues were for the s3.

I already ordered the one i posted, The price is 1/2 that of the link. I also emailed the person from the link if this is a all clear version without colour boarders, the item is for pre-order, so it's not finalised yet.
my photos are the actual stock, so it seems like it will not affect the sensors.

Hey Guys,
I just bought myself a Samsung flip cover, although it looks genuine, im a bit skeptical and would like to know what you guys think based on the photos. Also, the first time i had it on the flip cover wasnt fully sitting on the screen, however, now after a few hours its alright. Moreover, the edge of the flip cover doesnt have that rubber coating that can be seen on the S3 flip cover. I could've bought it from the samsung store but i found it a bit cheaper from this other phone shop. Anyways, ive posted all the photos so hope i get some opinions. Cheers.
Heres an additional photo of the box. Im not sure if it makes any difference but it says that it was manufactured on 2013.03.12 and Model Number : EFC-1J9FWEGSTD
Don't Worry

It looks real enough to me. I have the grey version and an orange version from Samsung and both of them are the same as yours including the packaging they came in. There is no rubber thing on the version for the Note II and mine didn't feel like it fit flush either at first but after a few days in it should mold perfectly to it.

Actually i was surprised as to why it wouldn't sit flush on the screen considering i never had this issue with the genuine flip cover for the S3. I bought this for like $17.70 compare that to the $40 price tag from the official samsung store and its a big win. Anyways, thanks alot for your input.

To be honest many fakes aren't actually fake but just defective Samsung products that people take and sell cheap on ebay or Amazon. So if it had an nfc sticker and looks good to you then that price is great.

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

Maybe it's something new they do. I mean it's ridiculous we pay a crap ton for these phones. But they don't wanna give us good case and screen protector. They help your cell phone store scam you with a rip off $50 each case and screen protector= $100+.
Wish the law made it mandatory for 1 year warranties to cover drops. Then these companies would actually care to oblige to a good case/screen protector.
