Seidio 3 in 1 pen stylus for Tilt/Kaiser/TyTN II/8925 available

Seidio 3 in 1 pen stylus for Tilt/Kaiser/TyTN II/8925 available
http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=883

Its funny what their third "feature" is.
It is a three in one:
-Stylus
-Pen
-Phone resetter!!! LOL I guess we need a special tool to stick into the bottom of your device to reset it. Didn't know a stylus itself wouldn't do that lol

I bought these.

excellent find, thank you

I've always had success with seidio products. I'm wary of buying a "cheaper" solution because I've heard plenty of stories of leaky pens...

Are there any actual sized pen's that can be used as a stylus too?
I use a pen a work and school a lot and I don't want to keep putting down my pen and picking up my stylus and vise versa.
The ones on ebay seem to small. I need to write a lot so I would prefer like a pen size.

Seidio Pens are good at leaking too trust me.
Plus you can not get more than a sentence or two before it runs "out of ink" for a few minutes..

Sure, there are lots of them. One place to start, just to give you an idea, would be Stylus Central:
http://www.styluscentral.com/index.html
Their pages about 2, 3 and 4 Point Multi Pens would have some pen/stylus combos.
I've been through many multi pens and the one I'm using right now is the Cross Matrix. I didn't see it on Stylus Central anymore and I think Cross has stopped producing it (though the refills are still made.) It is, however, available on ebay. In my experience it has the smoothest Stylus point I've used.

I've gone through 6 cheap pens so far. They run out of ink way too fast, and always at a bad time.
Does anyone know of one that lasts like a regular pen?

BE CAREFUL with all in one pens from anyone. The Kaiser gets very hot and will make any sealed ball point pen leak. I have tried a few and every one of them burst.
My friend has a Kaiser also and the same issue happened to him.
There is nothing you can do to keep a sealed hot ball point pen form leaking... END OF STORY!

Replacement Stylus

I recently lost my stylus, at a park I think. I put the pen in my pocket instead of putting it back in my phone. That was a dumb mistake
Does anyone have a suggestion on where to buy a replacement stylus from?
Seems the price can range from 5 for $8($1.60 per Stylus) to 3 for $20($6.70 per Stylus). Is there any advantage to buying the more expensive ones or are the cheap ones just as good?
I couldn't find a thread that addressed this issue, if I missed it a re-direct would be appreciated

I've bought my replacements for my tilt at eforcity
http://www.eforcity.com/metal-stylu...-ii-chtc4550st02.html?int=efsechtxtrigos-item
they do a lot of business on ebay and carry a whole range of other stuff too. They also give you a $5 coupon for your next purchase for giving a review on reseller ratings
but there are many other sellers out there, i've seen no difference in the quality of the stylus, though I did have problems with a Nintendo DS stylus I bought from a Chinese vendor once. but then again 90% of this kind of stuff comes from china.

I am also in need of a replacement stylus, i lost my original one, the replacement i purchased seems to have a rougher tip than the original, i'm afraid it will scratch the screen.

I've seen them before in a Best Buy store, look around the phone accessories, or, if all else fails, ask someone.

Thanks for the replies.
I ordered some off ebay. 3 for $7. Seem decent enough. Weight a little more than the originals, which I think is a good thing.
All I have to do is hope the pens don't explode now

Looks Like a Good Buy, the only thing you might have to worry about is 1) the ink leaks out into the phone( i don't think the kaiser battery would generate enough heat), 2) losing the cap for the pen since it is the snap of type, can remember where i got mine from , it actually screws off first time i ever tried to use the pen side(lol). just mentioned eforcity since i bought all my cases and stuff from them, guess i didn't buy my stylus from them since they have the same type with the snap off. they sell some strange stuff at notebook.egde, i might pick up the 15 pc screwdriver set for 4.99, gotta replace the buttons on my tilt.

Me too. lost 2 stylus and now after using new finger friendly ROM since few months I dont feel need of stylus.

Unlosable stylus
Instead of getting a "stick" stylus, why not get a object that acts like a stylus? sounds like a funny riddle, but when you own one, the stick styluses do seem funny.

Irritated

So I ordered my 16gb Note 10.1 last week and went and picked it up yesterday afternoon. I opened the box at the store to check the "body" of the device to make sure it wasn't split along the sides and no odd creaking or anything. Everything looked good.
I get it home and discover that there's no S-Pen. It's not in the box, not in the back of the device, nowhere to be found.
The unit shipped directly from Samsung. I called the store and they said I could return it, and they'd order another one if I wanted or I could have my money back. The other option was that I could call Samsung directly and give them the low down and have them send me another S-Pen.
I chose to call Samsung and they apologized and said they'd send out an S-Pen right away. Sounds good, except that it's going to take 7 - 14 working days to arrive! Really?!?!?!
I specifically bought the Note 10.1 FOR the S-Pen and note taking capabilities. I am involved with multiple activities (my job included) that require me to take notes. This is a significant problem for me.
Yes, I know I can just buy a stylus and wait it out but it irritates me that the unit got shipped without one of the "selling-points" of the product. I understand they can't QA every single unit but come on, a CORE part of the device not being included? Really?!
Okay, I'm done ranting now.
I really like the unit and I'm sure I'll enjoy it, ONCE I get the S-Pen!

You are missing the whole thing. lol it is all about the S-Pen.

So I'm curious. If your job and activities require all this what we're you doing before you got your note? Under performing?
Not saying it's not messed up you didn't get a pen, but if you've been doing your all your job functions and activities for X time before you had a note I'm sure you'll survive another 5-7 days.
I got a note that when I pulled the pen out the little plastic tension piece inside the slot came out and then the pen would fall out if it was in the holder. Shoulda made Samsung ship it overnight.

Well THAT would irritate me too, since it´s not a 299.- $ device.
Even if they sell 20 million devices no single one with faults should pass QC.
I bought 1 SII, two SIII, 1 Note, 2 Note 10.1´s and they came all PERFECT, no broken seals, no creaking, no scratches, mechanically and by the hardware in perfect function and no faults by the software (never ever had one single firmware related crash or update probs out of the box with no single Sammy device)

In mobile electronics a defect rate of 5% or below is considered outstanding performance. The missing S-Pen is bad QC as it obviously shouldn't have shipped without it. But to put it in perspective, Samsung's sold 30MM SGS3's so it would be excellent if no more than 1.5MM had a defect. Someone who got one of the 1.5MM probably would disagree.

Is it a HUGE deal? No. Is it going to prevent me from doing my job? No. I can use pen & paper like I've been doing or I can go buy a 3rd party stylus. It's more of a convenience thing AND the fact that it SHOULD have been packaged with it. By my counting on / planning on / looking forward to being able to use the device, it just made it more of an irritation.
I completely agree that 5% being "jacked up" (hardware, software, defects, missing parts, etc) is acceptable. It would have just been better if someone else experienced the 5%.
As for Samsung products in general, never had an issue with them before. Home theater equipment, cell phones, etc.

Sorry, you're within the 5%.
The opinion that Samsung is solid in all their mobile devices is not correct at all. I also have a Samsung 7 Series slate and this thing came with its screen lifted big time as soon as I took it from the box. Getting it fixed by them was a [email protected], and this was not an isolated case. If you go to TabletPCReview.com, you'll notice that around 35% of all these slates came with the screen defected. I was in that big margin.
Being inside an even smaller margin should feel really crappy...
Now, for a solution, these tablets work with any WACOM pen, so if you have one for any other tablet or convertible then that should work flawlessly. It will no feel as nice as the one that comes with the tablet (as this one has a rubber tip and all others I know come with a hard one) but it should work the same way.

There's another solution. Many Best Buy stores stock the replacment pen. You can buy one there and keep it as a spare or return it when your missing one arrives.

That is incorrect. There may be some Wacom pens which work with the GNote 10.1 but not all. I have an Intuos 3 and the pen for it will not work on my GNote 10.1 it has no effect what so ever. With that said you can use your finger. It is surprising how presice you can be on the GNote 10.1 with your finger.

Yeah, if there was a big hole on the bottom right of my tablet where the s-pen is stored, I'd be annoyed too.
sadly, it's all academic now... my kayscase flip case really doesn't allow me to get to it, muchless see it.

I've heard indeed of some intuos and bamboo series pens not working on WACOM enabled screens. But I was referring to those that come with other tablets or convertible PCs. I've heard around that the intuos 5 pens work. I have a lil babmoo touch tablet and it doesn't work at all too.

In my last two weeks of ownership I've probably only used the pen less than 10 minutes and still love the tablet!

Get a grip. That doesn't exist for any product manufactured anywhere.

Pull tab case may be the way to go...never owned one. Best makers?

Hello friends! I am in love with my Nexus 4 (despite USB-OTG not working so far). I am coming from a Casio rugged smartphone that didn't require a case because it was bulletproof, so I have no idea who makes the best cases these days.
I think I want to go with a slide in Pull Tab case. This way I don't have to worry about "will this work with the Qi charger," and this thing fits perfectly in my hand right now for one handed use...I fear adding any thickness in the form of a case will make it just a little too big for my hands.
I don't mind spending the money on a case that looks nice, feels nice, and is high quality. I ordered one of the cheapo Pull Tab cases off of e-bay just to hold me over....but who makes some of the nicer pull tab cases? I know they won't have one for the Nexus 4 just yet, but I want to stalk their website until they do.
Thanks!
(side note: I ended up purchasing a Wi-Drive from Kingston. This little thing makes a perfect addition to our phones. I really hope USB-OTG gets worked out, but for those of you who want some extra storage for travel, the Wi-Drive worked better than I imagined).

That would be awesome if they made a Nexus 4 specific one. I would love the LED and speaker cutouts. I will keep an eye out!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012524 is the one I'm using, along with some pictures. It's designed for the Galaxy Nexus, but fits perfectly. And is only $12.98

Looking for a case

Hey guys,
I am looking for a case that has a kickstand, work well with magnetic car mount, and works with wireless charging (this part is not that important). So far, I have three cases from Amazon and returned all three. While they worked well, and I actually liked them, they failed at staying on my magnetic car mount. This part is very important for me. Other than that, they were amazing!
Is there anything you know that works well with magnetic car mount and has a kickstand?
I have a Note 10+

What cases did you try? It would help us to know what hasn't worked so far.

Here are the ones that did not work so far:

Pitaka (if you can live without the kickstand) - and you can always use something cool like this (which is tiny when folded up - I even have it on a keychain!):

I love the Spigen cases. I have this one. Works with wireless charging and with some strategic placement, magnetic mounting.

I looked at this case several time and have skipped it. I love Spigen myself. I looked the reviews and had mixed feelings about the magnetic mount. The foam could prevent a good grip for the magnetic mount.

The kickstand looks cool, but I don't think spending 42 bucks on it is worth it.

Actually I didn't understand your reply because I thought it was alot cheaper than that - and it is! I agree right now it is horribly priced on Amazon, but when I bought it on Amazon (copy of my order is first picture) it was only $18.99!
The second picture has other places where you can get it closer to that price...
Also in that same first picture (the order) - note a really cool tiny item I have hanging on my keychain as well - the Nekteck USB Type C OTG Micro SD Card Reader with Additional Standard USB Port Connector (third picture shows more about it).
Thoughts?
