Hi all,
Pretty simple request here. I'm looking for a stylus pen that I can use with my Transformer. That is, a pen, with a rubber - or whatever it is - bit at the top, so that I can flip the pen around and tap away.
Reason is, 99% of the time, I have one or more pens in my pocket for college, so I'd like to have the option to use them as styli(?) as well.
Sounds simple, but I haven't had much luck in finding one. Main thing here is price. I want them to be cheap enough that I could order a few and loose one without caring too much. (~$3-4 each)
No-one has looked into this before? I can't be the only one out there interested.

Hey, been thinking of buying a few of these, seems to be perfect. Take a look around the site though, that have some 2 in 1 types thats double as an actual pen, and smaller ones that can hang from the headphone jack. Keep in mind it will take a few weeks for the order to get to you, but it will be worth the wait.
I have bought some neat stuff from them before, you get what you pay for but the stylus above looks to be a great deal.
Edit:
Found that 2 in 1, a little more expensive but is what you actually wanted.
I never even thought of looking on DX... Thanks very much!

I made my own using the foam that the IC chips are on...i found none on the market that suited me. Just look at you tube for DIY pen stylus...it worked out okay.
Thanks for mentioning DX, never thought to check there either. Ordered one to see how it is, hopefully I'll receive it before Christmas!
just ordered this one

maybe it will be better than the one i got with a flat tip
i like this one since it has 2 colors and a stylus

and it's working perfectly well

I have been trying to use the supplied stylus in various writing programmes. I have found the retractable end quite annoying and have come up with a solution. The stylus fits very nicely inside a Parker roller ball pen. I just had to pack the inside top end of the pen with paper. the grey point of the stylus looks like a felt tip pen and it is a joy to use with the likes of Journal. In meetings people think go are using a real pen. Just dont forget to take your pen to work with you.

nice! nice suggestion!
Stylus
I too find the original stylus difficult to hold .. I don't like the pens that have ballpoint and stylus only because I know myself all too well and know that one day I will scratch my screen by using the wrong end. . LUCKY FOR ME .. in my business I deal with a lot of jewelry and jewelers. Last week I got an antique silver mechanical pencil in with a bunch of scrap silver jewelry. It has a loop on the top to attach to a necklace .. long necklace .. and one of the jewelers that frequent our shop removed parts of the inside of the pencil and gave me a stylus point made from ivory. He made that tip round and smooth and it is awesome. I will post a picture later .. I forgot it at my office on Friday. I have been wishing I had it all weekend.
Have you ever had that feeling when you have just been totally outdone and feel very inadequate and inferior.
somtimes i don't use shifts pen, i use my fingers or my montblanc starwalker, but is a little heavy, for my customers is a pleasure for the eyes, i hopeto find a kind of stylus less heavy, but elegant like your geoff.

I hope you are joking because that is not how I meant my post to come off. Believe this, I will drop it on the tile floor and break the tip, long before this post gets cold. I have also written down the name of the pen to make my own like yours. I never would have mentioned the ivory thing if your post hadnt arrived around the same time as my new stylus. I am just lucky with the bullion business for my find. I have in the past gotten a Tiffany stylus from the scrap. Search ebay ..you will maybe find one. It is about half as tall as a regular pen with a cap. I rarely use it because I am afraid of using the cap.
A great stylus to get if you could find one is the "bullet" I think it was called. It was made for the game machine Zodiac .. Some guy made them to order out of silver and also stainless I think I lost mine long ago.
I have one other I like where the top of the pen is a stylus, the other end a pen. I removed the pen part and also the clip that was close to the top because it was always in the way .. I have a dozen maybe. I will take a pic of all of them. I am never satisfied I guess.
Diane - In Search of the PERFECT Stylus ...
No worries
Dont worry about it I was only joking, Im just jealous really and in any event, Im actually far too stupid to feel inferior
as guy who uses tablet pcs I use my tablet pc pens (yes they were designed for an active digtiver screen) they work fine as the stylus for any touch screen interface like what the shift has. Tablet PC pens do not have any regular inking tips so there are perfect for anyone worried about accidentally writting in ink on their shift's screen.
There are plenty of used ones on ebay just do a search for "tablet pen" and pick the one with sytle you like.
If you want a new one that looks like a regular pen and has very nice feel to it then I suggest looking at the one from CROSS. http://www.cross.com/catalog/pendetail.aspx?cat_name=Penabled+Executive+Pen&nav_name=Penabled+Executive+Pen&tech=Electronic+Pen&line=Penabled&finish=
I am personally using a couple of different tablet pc pens the Cross one in the url above and a TC1100 pen. I also use this 4 n 1 stylus, pen, and pencil combo from amazon.

I like this for a stylus too
I was thinking about ordering this one from Fujitsu. I like the tether idea.
Here is the link.
Im reading here about many cqses but I just cant find the best. I need a case that lets every port open, looks nice , has multyangles and that it doesnt cost a lot. I need it as soon as posible becuse my tablet is hlme and its really hard to hold it for 3 hours in my hands Thank you.

Still wanting on a general consensus as well...I guess the "official case isn't getting good reviews...
Thank you all on your suggestions -.-. Anyway I think I will go fora microfibre case from amazon.
Here's a nice leather one for $19.95
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110709890057&hlp=false
IMO - Check out the rooCASE on Amazon if you want a multi-angle style. From what I can tell, it is the "Best" in terms of quality. There are a few other multi-angle cases out there such as what you find on eBay but they do not appear to be made as well. JMO but the ACase for example just looks really cheap in comparison.
I've ordered the roo case as well but it's taking foooooooorever to get here.
I think you might like this one. It has a lot of space, and it can actually detach if you don't want to hold on to the whole case while using it. This company gave me a free stylus since I ordered one of their cases. I love the black but if you want another color, then I think they have a brown too.
Hope this helps.

How do you like the Amazon case you linked to? I have been considering that exact one. What is your opinion? How sturdy is it? Is the rotary/detach option really useful? Debating between this an a standard leather case because seems more durable/protective but doesn't offer rotary feature or detaching case...
Thanks.

Thanks for that recommendation. Looks like it kinda gives you a tablet sleeve too, built in.
I don't use portrait mode very much, but the ability to detach is a huge plus. Is it possible to fold the flap all the way back, so you have the case still attached, but use the tablet as a handheld?
From the picture, it looks like it attaches to the case via a button...is that secure? I've seen others that use two velcro disks...those seem more secure.
I just purchased that one last night. I'll come back and share my thoughts once I receive it around early next week.
Edit: I got the brown one
Hey everyone, I was looking into buying this S tablet, and before I do I wanted to make sure I knew which accessories I was going to pick up with it so that I was covered from the get go.
Besides a dock or two, I've been looking for a sleeve that will allow me to easily slide my tablet in from the side. So far I've only seen sleeves that use a zipper to close it, and/or open along the long edge.
I know most people want a protective casde, but what I'm looking for is something that will let me slide the S tablet in from the side, and uses a magnetic/velcro flap along the short side to enclose the tablet and keep it from sliding out. Don't need much else than that really. Maybe a pen holder, but that's far from necessary.
Any recommendations?
I tried this.
bugatti
And I like it.
Thank you for the quick response!
That is very close to what I'm looking for. I almost picked one up, but I wasn't a fan of the big "Bugatti" writing on one side. The Gray/Red design on their main website almost pulled out a debit card to purchase.
But, I think I'm going to lean towards something more plain.
I finally found one on Amazon: "Search" CaseCrown Vertical Neoprene Case
^^ Still haven't met the post requirement for live links.
I'd love to see other people's impressions on sleeves if that's the route they went. What they found that works. If there were any sleeves that offered functional extras.
I got the all black one so you can't even see the bugatti logo 99% of the time.

"Philips Neopren Slim- Case / Schutz- Hülle für Apple iPad ipad2" on amazon.de
with complete frsutration in no keyboard case looking to ever be made for my purchase of the top tablet at the time the Galaxy Pro i have ended my search and somewhat happy.
my first purchase after exhausting months of hoping and searching led me purchase the M-Edge Stealth which upon setting up was the most impressive 3rd party universal i had ever seen. i see no reason to go into all the details that had me loving this case because very quickly i discovered it had 1 flaw that completely killed it. one of the greatest features was t he magnet safe strap and the base was magnet as well and sadly this caused the Pro to go to sleep every time i would touch it. if you push it up in the holsters it was fine but touching it or moving it and it would slide down just a hair and that hair caused the magnets to put it to sleep. i spent some time since it was such a great case trying to make it work but with much sadness i had to return it.
my next purchase and what i am staying with is the Kensington Keyfolio Pro 2 and at this pricxe i can live with the few things i would change.
quick review:
- keyboard types nice and almost all the keys for Home , Settings, Volume, Web, Music, work and go to the app i desired. it also seems to autoconnect after casing it up and opening it back up again so functionaly it is very nice
- case sadly is not a nice leather feel like the M-Edge and although not bad it feels kinda like it might carck eventually like cheap fake leather can do but only time will tell
- it is in no way as thin as the M-Edge and much bulkier than he 11" laptop i would carry but not ridiculous to me
- it has large and small corners with velcro to allow to place it wherever on the back plate that holds it which is different put nice and allows some positioning to what you like. i will say though that i was going with the small angles anyway but the large were on it and one ripped as i tried to take it off and so i know now how to handle them.
- the Logitech or Zagg of my dreams would not have allowed me to take the keyboard out and place it where i like and i see the value in this now as well
- there is no camera hole on the back put it does state that you can cut it out and they thought of this but since i dont use the back camera for anything i dont mind
anyway hope this helps out another 10.1 like me that has been frustrated with no top of the line model available.

yeah i looked at one of those but what i dont like about it:
- the kickstand - this limits position placement where the Kensington allows from straight up with keyboard in case to almost flat and stays in any position between them
- the full edge holster - i like to see the tablet with minimum corners or preferably which only comes with ones made specifically for the tablet that it snaps into place with almost no edge
- the keyboard is large with the big palm area and it does not have all the Android specific keys to launch everything which allows me to rarely touch my screen
i am not saying it isnt nice but it wasnt what i was looking for and i doubt there is an option out there i didnt research. thanks for the info though and maybe its something others might like
Samsung has neglected the Tab Pro 10.1
Its these disappointing products that brought me to just buy a stand alone keyboard option. After almost a year of traveling around the country with my Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1, throwing it in my backpack between classes, and carrying it around to camping trips and etc. I've decided that its a little too late to purchase a case or keyboard folio at this point.
Samsung really did their customers wrong by not producing a suitable keyboard/case for the galaxy tab pro 10.1. At the very list they could have worked with 3rd parties to produce these options.
I have been looking for a compact all in one every day carry that would contain the Nook Simple Touch, a notepad, and space for a small book. Plus a few misc like a multitool, hearing aid batteries, pens, ID, and cash. The closest thing I have found is this, http://amzn.com/B007MD4KUY
I'm just wondering if anybody here have anything like this and how it have worked out for them? It seems like the best option is to slide the NST into the slot where the notepad back slides in. I could use a safety pin or two to secure one side of that slot.
Thanks

Found a lifeway christian store nearby. Might swing by to check it out when I visit my dad. Don't have the money to buy it this month but if I find this tri fold bible organizer or something similar there, I may consider getting it next month. If lifeway don't have it, then I'll just order the one from the amazon that I linked to. I was just hoping to see if anybody here had any similar idea and have already tried this out.
I'll let you know and try to share pics
Lost my NST a few days ago. Waiting to see if it turns up at some of the family's places since I was busy helping them move furniture. I also inherited a nice leather bag for pretty much everything I need and it have an absolutely perfect compartment that fit the Nook exactly. So I now have no reason to justify the trifold organizer purchase. Sorry about that. If I get my NST back and do happen to swing by the lifeway store, I'll at least try it out and see if I can grab my wife's phone to snap pics of the setup to give an idea of how it fits. But it might be a little while before I can do that assuming I get my NST back. Sorry. Just wanted to let you know so you won't have to wait for my response anymore.
