Really? Can't believe it. Only for typing or all use of the pad?
I have one too, Rocketfish branded from Best Buy. I'm an employee, and bought it for $2. Works AWESOME. No fingerprints!
I have the bamboo stylus from about a week and i love it more than the original graphic tablet i have.
But i still use fingers and touchpad on my tf101.
But in extreme case this winter i will use it
How does it feel? Heavy?
The One i have is like a pencil of khoinoor.

Both..
I am finding it a little more convenient then leaning over the keyboard to use my finger to scroll..
Lol..starting to use use it on my phone too..
Wouldn't recommend it for writing, typing is ok.. I got speed with it now.
But mine is a bit fat on the end to write..

I think that Boxwave is the OEM for all these. I have the (identical) Targus version, and it works well. The only issue I have is that if I apply RainX to the screen, the pen detection is spotty until the RainX has worn a bit. Otherwise, it's quite useful.

Cuts down on fingerprints quite a bit (since I don't use a screen protector) and makes the surface extremely smooth when sliding your finger around. If the prints don't bother you -- they drive me nuts -- or you use the stylus the majority of the time, it's not worth the effort. Also, anyone with a screen protector in place definitely should not apply a product like that to the surface.
There are a lot of them from Dealextreme if you need.
Got one of these too, Targus branded. I just wonder who thought it would be a great idea to add the sharp metal ring so close to the tip. I use mine quite a bit, but I'm always a bit scared of writing at too much of an angle so the metal cuts into my precious glass.

I might have to give this a try. The fingerprints drive me nuts. This is a pretty brilliant idea .
does anyone who uses one of these pens have the invisiSHIELD on? because i have that on my asus and would hate to purchase one of these only to realize it doesn't work too well with the screen protector.
Edit: just bought one. works beautifully.
I have a targus branded one from walmart, and rain-x applied to the screen, and it works flawlessly. Way better than touch input and you can make use of that autocad sketchbook app... its really nice.
after having a fat end for a week, and reading your feed back, and playing with a few on screen writing programs..
plus also learning how to write chinese charactors.. I am keen to go a bit further with this.. and get a better one for sharper writing..
I am using a screen protector that I brought the day i got this thing.. and find it just as sensitive to writing with my pen.. as my Evo is with a screen protector..
I would love to take this a step further and have my chinese staff write on it.. then be able to have handwritten recognition going no so that I could then copy an past it in to a translator..

I guess while using your right hand to navigate the G1, use the stylus, in your left hand to scratch that itch on your back with it??
Do not try this while driving
I believe the stylus is made specifically for the G1 and iphone. its not the same ones that other pressure sensitive phones have.
There are stylus' out there with the electrons needed for capactive touch screens to work (iPhone, G1, etc). I'm not entirely sure how they work, I assume it would need a battery... but maybe not.

UPDATE AFTER RECEIVING THIS!!!!
Stylus DOES WORK!!! It does work with more force lol
To grag an icon or let alone drag it across the screen it iffy. Rubber on the screen. You can imagine.
Silicone "case" is ok. Could have been snugger.
Hard case it good once is it all clicked in but it makes the phone a whole lot bulkier. If you buy the clip seperately, it can be attached to your belt.
Chargers, can't have enough
Screen protectors, love them
So for the money, yeah its worth the package.
****, seriously? It doesn't work? Do you have an iPhone to test it on?
I had my mother order this because she can't stand not using a stylus. Looks like it's getting sent back.

I tried the "Stylus" again today. It does work with more force.
Hard to drag or slide across the screen though.
It's rubber that gives way. A pencils earaser form type.
does the hard case fit snuggly all around? i had one that i sent back because the bottom left side edge doesn't clip onto anything and came up a bit.
the whole set is in 3 pcs.
The back part
The screen part
and the keys part
the keys part locks into the back part, tightly
the screen part locks onto the the sliding part of the phone
What does the camera/speaker hole look like? I hope it's not a heart... >_<
It is, how else are you gonna get the lens and mic not covered lol
I thought I would be like the T-Mobile hard case:

Hi all,
I found a nice capacitive stylus and cheap at the same time, so I was wondering how many of you are considering it? Have you used one before?
My point is that it will take care of the fingerprints (most of them), it is small enough to keep on you at all times without noticing... On the other hand you can't do multitouch....
Share your thoughts,
rio
I bought one for use with my Galaxy Tab, but to be honest I never really use it, and I don't feel the need to use it with TF either.
Regards,
Dave
They're only any use if you do enough drawing/painting. Pointless for anything else imho. These apps are a bit thin on the ground atm though. It works ok in Sketchbook Mobile, which is about the only half decent app I've found, but it only works in portrait mode. If you know of any better apps please let me know.
I picked up a BoxWave mini Capacitive Stylus from ebay, image of it should be below.

It clips into the headphone port on the device, so your not going to loose it when its not in use.
I find it pretty good, i don't use it all the time, only when needed or i want to do something on the screen that is detailed.
Hope this helps
Thanks guys,
I guess I should have asked before I ordered the thingy.

Hi guys,
Not to step on any toes, but I bought a stylus exactly like that one, and have been using it for 2 days now. It is small and compact, quite nice.
I find it really useful on the Transformer, because of the quality I guess: it is as good as a finger and bit more precise. And there are no longer finger traces on my screen!!!!
I tried using it with my HD2 and that did not go so well. The stylus is only good for "clicking", anything else like scrolling, sliding... the stylus is close to useless!?!?!
Anyway, just my experience,

I use it to underline and annotate PDFs. You'll take notes faster if you write it on paper and then use the camera to take a picture.
On my g-Tab, the stylus will not work well if your hand touches the screen at any point. That means you need to write while hovering your hand, or use something to prop your hand up. Wearing gloves will not help.

I have purchased the Boxwave stylus ( BoxWave Capacitive iPad Stylus (Jet Black) - not the one pictured earlier) and find that it works pretty well for writepad or Tabnotes ( trial only at the moment) for handwriting however, i am now hooked on Flext9 keyboard using the swipe option, since the last update, it is extremely accurate and I find myself using the stylus with it which makes it ideal as the notes are produced quicker than handwriting and can easily be emailed as they are typed as opposed to handwritten.
If you need to annotate PDFs, use easy PDF from the market as it has some fantastic options for annotation and costs approximately 80 pence which is a bargain, again ideal when used with a stylus.
Got my Boxwave mini stylus today and also the Asus Sleeve.
You know what? The stylus is too mini. It's a bit hard to hold while doing stuff on the Transformer in the Sleeve slanted.
Shoulda bought a regular pen sized stylus.
A side note for those of you ordering styluses, Handrite is the best note taking app I have found. I have been using the free version for a few days with my stylus (Acase from Amazon), and it works like a charm. The stylus is also works great on the TF

There is no digitizer built into the tablet. On a side note I played with my friend's Asus EP121. Windows 7 tablet with 12.1" screen and Wacom digitizer built in. Boy was that small pen accurate and fun to use. Anyone who wants a Windows 7 tablet that is definitely the one to look into.

I've not bothered with a cover as such - instead I was more in need of a case. Anyway, rather than buy a dedicated one (which - apart from the ones on eBay - are a bit expensive) I managed to get an HP netbook bag. This looks quite stylish - and at just over five bucks (equivalent) it didn't break the bank.
There's also a good amount of space for that crappy charger arrangement that Asus foisted on us - in my opinion the worst aspect of the product.
I just got a case from Tuff-luv, and i think it is really great.
http://tuff-luv.com/natural-hemp-bo...s-eee-transformer-tablet-chocolate-brown.html
I haven't seen any cases that work with the Asus dock that look good.
I couldn't get the above link to work but tough-love has some ok cases on this page you may consider. Though I still like my slim case better, but it dosen't work with the dock.
http://tuff-luv.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=Asus+Transformer
I have the official Asus Transformer case that I picked up at OfficeMax for $29.
It has flanges around the sides where it was sewn together but overall feels great and is a really good fit.
Downside is that it seems to be made upside down, so the flap wants to hang when open. You can fix this by rotating your screen upside down, but it doesn't play well with all apps.
The other gripe is that the charger port is near the "hinge" fold so you have to have the case open to access the charger.
I'd be interested in just a hard/thin plastic back that snaps around the corners and has a flap for the top.
Thank'd all of you.

Same problem here. Do you have a link to product?
Bluerex Ultra Slim KIND OF works with the keyboard.
You can use the keyboard with the case when it is open, but you can't really close it around the keyboard for storage.
i purchased this one Poetic(TM) Stand Leather Case from Amazon. it fits perfect nice and solid. looks professional. and its a good price
bought the custom folio case from electronic crap.
http://electroniccrap.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=34_36&products_id=62
sits nice around and good protection. can easily separate the tab from the dock and still have good protection on the tab.
The third fold closes nice with magnets, with and without dock. it also keeps the tab upright when docked and used on your legs. (the weight of the screen wants it to tip over when on the legs are not completely horizontal)
the only downside was the cover over the tab blocked the left speaker. but a sharp knife solved the problem.
Thnx for the info.

Hey guys.... I've been looking for a good stylus for my prime
I'm a graphic designer and one thing I'm interested in is a fine tip stylus if its available....if not a normal stylus works too
Thanks
My friend had a Crayola stylus that was battery operated and it worked great on my prime. The tip is about half what a regular stylus is and comes to a nicer dull point. Kinda looks like a crayon on the end. I think it is for kids and I have no idea where to get one from but it worked a lot better than my generic stylus that I have.

I would recommend simply making one. wrap some aluminum foil around a pen and then make a tip out of 0000 steel wool It works very well. tape it all down and you're good to go

There is no such thing as a fine tip capacitive stylus. The capacitive sensor needs to detect a minimum amount of surface area (something like 1/4 inch across) in order to register.
The adonit jot/jot pro + conductive grease in the ball joint is as close as you're going to get to a fine tip capacitive stylus.
Here are some samples of my notes. Note that I've completely gone paperless and love it.

Goodintentions, what app did you use to take notes? Do you think there is a danger of scratching Prime's screen when using a stylus a lot?

There's no danger of scratching the screen. The stylus tip is a plastic disc. The monkey glass has a hardness of 7. Hard plastic has a hardness of 3 or 4. I've been using the adonit jot on my screen for almost 4 months. No scratch whatsoever.
Of course, if you worry, just use one of those rubber tip styli.
I use an app called writepad stylus. It's got the best palm rejection algo I've ever seen. All those notes you see I posted were taken while my tablet was in portrait mode and my hand, wrist, and arm rested comfortably on the screen.
Added by edit.
The dev of writepad stylus is a very gifted college student. The app itself is 99 cents. Please do not pirate the app. It's only freakin' 99 cents. A donut costs more than that. He and I have been talking trying to think of other possibilities for the app.
OK cool thanks for the info and the pics goodintentions

Hi, I bought the Writepad myself, using it with my JotPro and the app Touchtune.
The only thing that bothers me is the appearance of the statusbar. Sometimes I touch it and that is very annoying...
Is there a way to hide it in ICS? Looked in the Market but it seems not to work for ICS.
If you have any ideas? (I have root by the way) .

Flip view.
I'm looking for a stylus but in the other thread about the Atmel stylus it seems that others users are reporting some issues using a jot pro, but if I use the touchtune app (registered edition) the jot pro is working fine?
Your note taking sample looks just prefect as a handwrited note. I would like to use the jotpro and my prime in order to draw some schemas to my cutomers. I need something accurate enough to write and draw.
Some else is using that stylus?

I second this recommendation! I paint, sketch, and write just fine with my cheapo homemade stylus. Of course I'm no pro so I don't know if it'd suit your needs just as well.
This is good in a sense that you can have a stylus with comfortable dimensions that's cheap and can be made and replaced easily though the sponge tip doesn't seem like it would wear easily (I don't need to press hard at all though when I use mine).
Also, you can trim the tip and test as you go to find whatever shape and size works best for you.
Other homemade stylus tips:
You can sub the steel wool for the soft part of a 3M brand sponge. Works great!
And if you have a mechanical pencil or pen with a metal barrel or any instrument you can use for writing with a metal part, you can use those too instead of wrapping something in wire or aluminum foil.
There are a couple of videos and random blog posts out there (just do a quick Google of something like..DIY stylus or sponge stylus or whatever) detailing how to do this as well as different variations of it. They're usually made for iPad use but they should work fine with the TFP (mine does amazingly well)
In terms of apps:
I use SketchBook Pro for my art and would also second the recommendation for WritePad Stylus for other scribbles, whatever writing, and doodles. I've tried AntiPaper, Quill, Skitch, and most other free popular-ish apps of this sort and found WritePad to be the best for me. The calibration, flip screen, and palm-rejection features are just awesome.
i have a jot pro but it seems to skip a little when writing
If you are interesting in taking note with your stylus, I would recommend you to buy the stylus handpad. It's much easier to use the stylus with one of those on.
While most note taking app have a palm rejection function, they wasn't very well implemented. Also, the muti-touch gesture will over-ride the rejection. So I ended up buying the handpad.
It really help improving my user experience with stylus pen. You can check it out in the link: anicelydone.com
Just saw that Samsung is selling the EE-CP905 Bluetooth keyboard (Pic below). Kinda like the leather look and the fact that it's thin. The Logitech one seemed nice, but too thick. Anyone have any experience with this keyboard?
Here in the Netherlands it's being offered for around 129 euros, which seems a bit too much. Is it worth it? Any reviews, pros, cons?

I purchased this keyboard with my Note 12.2 a couple of days ago. I have been using it pretty regularly over the last couple of days while setting the tablet up. So far I like it very much, it has been the best Tablet keyboard I have used so far and it really responds well to the tablet.

Any pros/cons?
Basically it doesnt protect the back of the tablet right?

NO it does not protect the back of the tablet; it works as a front shell & keyboard. I can tell you this that this keyboard is hard to find, it is not on the Samsung Website and I think it is a limited run item that was produced for the launch of the tablet. Chances are if you do not get one now you may never see it available again.
It pairs easily to the tablet; it stays connected very well and it responds instantly even when you have not touched the tablet for a couple of hours. You have only one angle in which the tablet is held into the keyboard; however it is at the perfect angle for viewing the tablet while working. They keys are low profile but they feel very solid and I have not found any issues with this keyboard so far.
Again... I have only had it for a couple of days so this information is based on what I know so far!

It's nice, I am keeping mine. The only real downside to me is that I do not like using the note without a case, and you cannot just flip the note over and have it still lock in place on the keyboard. That said, it does work well with any case which leaves the bottom of the Note open (like the Moko). Far superior to the Zagg.

Just saw that Samsung is selling the EE-CP905 Bluetooth keyboard (Pic below). Kinda like the leather look and the fact that it's thin. The Logitech one seemed nice, but too thick. Anyone have any experience with this keyboard?
Here in the Netherlands it's being offered for around 129 euros, which seems a bit too much. Is it worth it? Any reviews, pros, cons?

I paid $88 for it here in the US. I purchased it on-line from B&H Photo and Video (free delivery). It is much sturdier than the zagg keycase cover that is being sold by Best Buy. I think it is great. It forms a protective case for the tabley. Has the same faux leather covering. The only drawback is that it is not true docking keyboard. But for what it is, I think it is great.
It comes bundled in México in the 32gb SM-P900 even the package show it in the picture, it's a great product, serves as a nice cover for protect the screen and a great dock, the faux leather finish is the same of the tablet back.
Hi
I know it's an old thread but I just bought the keyboard, tested it a bit and I was wondering if anyone had an idea how to disable the word tips that display in the bottom of the screen while typing. I make very few mistakes and don't really need it. the problem is that the top of the screen is cut off a bit because of that otherwise it wouldn't bother me much

I guess It depens on the application you use. I don't have such suggestion bar when I do mail and wordprocessing.

I was using Chrome I didn't try other apps. There is a way to disable it in the settings but it's for all keyboards and not just the hardware one
