I've been researching on amazon, YouTube and etc for a good stylus for my future prime. Since I never purchase a stylus before and have no clue which to get can you guys recommend me a good one? From personal experience...
Jot Pro and iFaraday
I myself have done ton of research and it came down to those 2.
Jot Pro if you want take notes and want to be very accurate.

Take a look at this video of the Jot:
http://kck.st/o8eok6
iFaraday if you want to draw and multipurpose.

Thanks i'm interested in the iFaraday but it seems like they aren't taking any order till the 19th. Which one have you tired diesel?
I just received my Jot Pro yesterday and so far I am liking it a lot more than any other stylus on the market (and I have tried quite a few). Very accurate, and feels great in your hand.
My only grip is that I wish it had a clip to 1) keep it from rolling off the table if you forget to "dock" it with the magnet, and 2) so it could better sit/clip to a shirt pocket.
Aside from that minor annoyance, it is a quality stylus.

I don't have them yet but I have tried them from my buddy I have to say if you combine the Jot with the iFaraday then you have the perfect stylus.
I'm planning on buying both.
The Jot for super accurate writing/drawing and the iFaraday for multipurpose, browsing, etc.

Thanks Joe, you are doing an awesome job updating the master list - Thanks!
So I ordered a Jot Pro earlier today...one question, can one have their hands/palms on the screen while writing? Like you would when writing on real paper? Thank you....
I got a three pack of cheap ones on eBay for. 89 cents plus free shipping. Will review when I get it.

I really hope you can. If so then I'll be ordering a jot pro too.
I feel like this would have to be written specifically into whatever app you're writing on-- ignoring the first thing if multiple touches are registered or something along those lines.

^^^true, I've been looking at note taking apps and haven't seen any that would do such...I've seen reviews for these styli and their hands are suspended....how long can one write like that? I plan to do some serious note taking with this thing, like hour long meetings...the OG transformer has a note taking app thats pretty good right?
I would like ot have this functionality, but am worried about the multi touch thing. On this I think I will wait for a few reviews of the note taking before I grab a stylus. Someone who has a stylus, or more specifically the Jot, put up a review on how it works with the Prime please once you get it.

I have read an article that said that palm canceling was baked into ICS along with other stylus features, some of which will require hardware.
I hope it ends up working like it does when using a digitizer.....how I wish the prime had digitizer hardware! Per pixel accuracy and no palm/hand issues, along with erasing.

I would be careful with those. Friend got a cheap capacitive stylus for his phone, and it's sticking to the screen. I bought a fancier one (kingston I think), and while I have my complaints, it glides MUCH better on the screen.
I am looking into Jot Pro, since I am not a very big fan of "eraser writing tip"
Writepad has palm rejection. Also for other apps - hide your palm in your sleeve so it doesn't register as touch.

I ordered the Jot Pro today. Hopefully from what I am hearing from reviews, that I will really like this one. I bought some cheaper ones in the past and was not happy with their accuracy and the thickness of the tips.

Cheers! I ordered mine yesterday
I heard that the jot pro gets noisy when writing on a tablet.. makes a lot of taping sounds :S which would suck if ur taking notes in a meeting or in a quite environment...
i just picked up the Boxwave stylus from amazon

cant wait to get my hands on it along with my tablet

I'd cancel your Boxwave order and get the jot pro. Yes it can be noisier, but it writes 100x better. SMOOOTH and accurate. Seriously, there is no comparison between the two.
Does anyone have the Jot or Jot Pro stylus, and if so, have you had any issues with scratches on the screen or diminished accuracy after a few weeks of use.
Is there any metal that protrudes from the plastic disc that could scratch the screen?
I have seen several comments in other places where people have said the Jot stylus has scratched their display (Amazon has a commentor that has posted a photo of the scratches caused). And I have read that the accuracy is not as good after a few weeks use.
I have done some research and contacted the manufacturer (which replied very quickly). The explanation seems to be that dirt on the screen can cause the scratches and that the plastic tip can get loose/worn out. Apparently there may have been some defective tips early on.
*****
This is an excerpt from my email to Adonit:
I really want to buy a Jot Pro but I am apprehensive to spend $30 if it is
going to scratch my screen, or if it is not going to work as well after a
couple weeks of use. These issues seem to be common in review comments I
have read online.
I read one review comment that said there is "a metal protrusion in the
center of the disk. It’s very noticeable." I thought the disk was plastic.
If there is a metal protrusion I can see how it could scratch the screen...
Have these issues been resolved since the Jot and Jot Pro were first
introduced? If so, what has been done to resolve the problem?
I have a tablet with gorrilla glass (Asus Transformer Prime) on order, but
even with gorilla glass, I don't want to chance scratching up my brand new
tablet.
Please advise. Thanks!
*****
And this is their reply:
We have tested our product extensively, and the precision disk has proven to be very safe, even after prolonged use.
However, a sharp piece of sand or grit pressed very firmly between the Jot disc and the screen will probably scratch it, so take care to maintain a clean iPad screen. If the screen is not clear of debris, it will become scratched with the use of any stylus, or even just your finger.
We don't want you to worry, so if you think it will be a problem for you, we highly recommend that you use a screen protector to protect your screen from environmental dust and grit. Please be aware that Jot does not work well with the following screen protectors, due to their extra grip surface.
* Zagg Glossy Invisible Shield (but Smudge-Proof Invisible Shield works well)
* Ghost Armor
* Bodyguardz
* Skinomi
* Wrapsol
Glossy protectors are the least compatible with the Jot. We suggest looking at the Power Support Anti-Glare screen protector; we've heard that it works brilliantly with the Jot.
We are here if you have any further questions.
*****
Anyway, I thought the info in Adonit's reply would be useful regarding screen protectors, etc and I really would love to hear from Jot or Jot Pro owners regarding their experiences with it.

Just want to say that all the replacement Wacom pens i've purchased for my Asus EP121 tablet (12.1" Windows 7 Tablet with Capacative/Wacom input like the Note) work just fine on the note And much more comfortable to use than the S-Pen (haven't tried with the holder)
The three i've tested are the stock pen that comes with EP121, the Axiotron Studio, and the Axiotron Digitizer. Picked them up from here: http://www.nationwidesurplus.com/casearch.aspx?SearchTerm=wacom+pen with a 10% discount or so from a coupon code a few months back.
This is going to make it even harder not to carry my tablet with the note since I can tether the tablet to it..
I think any "Wacom Penenabled" pen will work with the device. I've noticed that so far that the eraser works, but the 2nd button does not.
do you know if the pressure sensitivity is more accurate with the wacom pens? The s-pen (at least mine) has almost no travel, seems like off and on.

I didn't even think about this possibility. I have a similar HP laptop with the touch and pen. Forget which model exactly, I have a new laptop now. However, if the pen works with the note when I get it, I'm going to constantly carry it with me unless I'm wearing basketball shorts or sweatpants, as the pen that came with my laptop is a great size and has some weight to it. Thanks for reminding me!

i noticed last week that the wacom stylus for my Fujitsu T4220 works on the Note. i agree with OP, sounds like all wacom stylus' will work with the Note.
and yes, pressure sensitivity is noticed on the Note by this wacom stylus from my Fujitsu...so they probably all do that.
All my thinkpad tablet pens work.

I think you are right
I own an HP Tx2500 and i pulled the pen out of it last night for fun... it also has a clicking button, much like the note...i was able to take a screenshot and pull up the S memo, just like i was using the S Pen. pretty neat
Anybody considering buying a high quality wacom pen? I think if I end up using the S Pen enough that I could see myself buying this:
https://www.wacom.com/en/Store/Pages/Product.aspx?product=KP1302&crumb={A8DA06FA-349A-4FF4-A998-DF0429E676DF}
It's damn expensive, but if I could find a deal somewhere I would definitely drop some cash on one.

Yeah that pen wont work you have to use a pen that works with a Wacom pennable display. These are specific pens that are designed for integrated tablet options. Try looking at IBM pens fore the x61 and above machines. they are all over Ebay and cheap about 15 - 20 dollars a pen. I'm sitting here in a room full of Intuos 3 and 4 pens and none of them actually work on my note, they are not compatible.
I Just tried a friends Cintiq pen, and it did not work on my note. Also tried the pen that came with my first generation 5" wacom tablet it also did not work; did try a pen off a random HP pen tablet in the office and that does work. Not sure what the differences in pen technology are, but obviously there are some.
-Josh
There is a difference in many generations of Wacom pen tech. In my tests all of the Penabled styluses have worked very well. so it seems a good rule of thumb here when considering a higher quality stylus is if its a stylus designed for a Wacom branded product. Or a stylus for a 3rd party product that happens to use Wacom Technology. no first party products have worked in my tests and all 3rd party ones have. Currently I am using the stylus from the Samsung 7 series tablet. Eraser works, button works , a noticeable increase in pressure accuracy and above all else its better shielded to prevent the auto-pressing bug many are facing with the S-pen. I'd be shocked if Samsung doesn't try to market a "S-pen pro" device in the near future.
I purchased my 7 series tablet pen from amazon for about 30 bucks.

REALLY the slate's pen works?? I carry my slate pen everywere in my pocket ready to use on my slate, but i went to a best buy and decided to try my stylus on the note that i saw on display it didn't work =\ , I really hope it really does work because this will be great. But i do have the developers version of the slate, doubt that should make a difference. My note comes in a few days..cross my fingers!
Also for others interested the great thing about the Samsung Slate Stylus is that it has a penclip so i easily clip it to the inside of my pocket and not worry about it falling out.
Wacom "Penabled" pens work, which you'll usually find with tablet PCs. Confirmed with the pen from my Thinkpad X60.
Wacom's regular line of pens, such as from the Bamboo, or the Intuos, do not work.
Note that even the eraser on my Thinkpad pen worked in the Memo app! Very cool.
As a cheaper alternative to the Samsung digitizer pen (for the slate). There is a company called Nationwide Surplus that sells white Axiotron digitizer pens for about $18 with free shipping. It's basically the same thing as the Samsung.
White stylus
They also sell a 3 pack of these for $50.
They sell an Axiotron Studio pen as well which includes a grip. I used to have one of these and they are very nice and comfortable, but might be overkill for the note.
I just ordered a 3-pack of the white stylus to have some stock. They come with extra nib units too. Great deal.
I purchased this one a few days ago on their site, the price was $14.

I would've loved to have gone for one of those Axiotron pens, but I'm particular about my gadgets being black.
I went and opted for this Toshiba pen. At $35 shipped, it was the cheapest black pen I could find. Those Samsung pens started at $40ish shipped, and I like how it looked thinner and more pencil-like than the Samsung.

Cool. Also, if you are in need of another at some point you can search around for a Fujitsu branded one. These pens are all basically the same. And there are deals to be had. No real reason to pay more than $20 for one of these.
OK Guys spent the last few hours researching the stylus screen issue after i received my Kuel H12 capacitive stylus for use with sketchbook pro, which didn't work
So I decided that we need a definitive list of what stylus actually work on the Sony Tablet S capacitive screen.
So please post what stylus you have tried and list their performance or short review so other sony tab users (like me) don't wast £20 on a sh~ty stylus' that don't work. It would also be helpful if you noted if its with or without a screen protector or if you've carried out the Factory screen protector Mod referenced below.

Compatible status, is a stylus that has been confirmed to work by more than one member or/and by myself
Adonit Jot - dtaylorr, jb2001 - stylus does work, and the build quality feels excellent however i felt there were still sensitivity issues when writing and i did have issues with parts of words not registering, parts of lines missing etc, found it frustrating trying to take notes during meetings, and on more than one occasion ended up using the keyboard.
Griffin stylus pen, GC16040 - wickwire, jb2001, stylus does work, although sensitivity again was the issue again, felt I had to put alot of pressure on the screen to ensure the stylus worked correctly, writing was uncomfortable due to the pressure placed on the rubber nib although i did find it a bit better for drawing.
100% Compatible status - Works perfectly for writing/drawing
Im not sure there will ever be one ... blame Sony's touch screen.

thanks kandemirb.. added to my list
mine
1- Adonit Jot
I got mine about 3 weeks ago and love it. Not as fluid as a finger, but usable. Handwriting is not perfect, wish it was more fluid.
I don't use mine a lot, but it is great to know it is there when I want it.
2- Generic rubber tipped stylus
I will also report on the rubber tipped generic Ebay stylus. It is useful if you simply want to press a button, but that is about it since there is no drag capability. Gave mine away.
3-Random thoughts
What is funny to me was that I began my journey into smartphones back in the late 90's and Window's Mobile devices. All of those devices had pressure sensitive screens and they all came with a built in stylus.
Then along came the Iphone and the big push that you did not want or need a stylus and you felt lame if you had one. For the past few years no phone or devices has had one. Now all of a sudden Samsung comes out with a line and makes stylus' cool again.
Any news on the Adonit Jot? I'm looking to buy one...
Be sure to check out the JOT touch when it is released by adonit... I have the JOT and it is the best one so far for the S but this new one has blutooth and promises android support with PEN PRESSURE! Supposed to be out by june but no word still. Check it out on their site.

Gomadic Precision Tip Capacitive Stylus
Hello,
Thanks for compiling the list!
You can add Gomadic Precision Tip Capacitive Stylus from Amazon to the list. I'm not using a screen protector with it and it's working fairly well with moderate pressure on the pen. It's squishing the tip a lot though, which makes me wonder if at some point it will break, but for now it's working pretty well and it has a pen which is great for me.
Thanks again!
I'm thinking of venturing out and attempting to make a descent stylus myself with machined components. If i do it i'll post a picture and give all details. The hardest thing to get over is the amount of pressure you have to apply with the stylus.
DAGi P504
Thanks for the list.
Did anyone tried the DAGi P504 available on ebay for like 20$?
Thanks,
Hi guys I am from Hong Kong and i found, not exactly a pen shape stylu, but it works great on sony tablet s.
it's a korean brand called mfit, cleaner style pen
Don't bother about the content, look at the strokes, all nicely drawn.
I'd say this is the best one i'd ever used on a tablet S, however, not in pen shape makes it not easy to draw as comfortable.
a Stylus works on Sony tablet s
Hay guys, I just bought a "Mediasonic MLG-6065TS BlackBox Stylus Touch Pen" and it WORKS PERFECTLY WELL on a tablet s!! You may wanna give it a try.
I got a stylus called Trent Arcadia Click Pen from Amazon that works pretty good. It's squishy with a micro-knit fabric cover which glides along the screen nicely. They are kind of small though and very squishy, so you would want to be careful not to tap too hard or you will jab your screen with the hard part of the pen surrounding the tip. It's not 100% perfect because it will cause breaks in your line if you let up on the pressure too much...and sometimes I have to tap two or three times for a response. I would say it's 80-90% effective. I will also say this is the first stylus I've tried and don't have anything to compare it to.
brush-tip stylus works
I finally settled with a brush-tip stylus for my Sony Tablet S after numerous trials with rubber-tipped ones. My hypothesis is that compared to my fingers, most rubber-tipped pen creates a touch area that is too small to be recognized by this tablet's screen. A brush-tip's hair spread out and makes a much larger contact area. There are a few models of such stylus available, I bought two of them and both work fine.
DAGI works great
After disappointment with performance of Wacom stylus (works great on iPad though), I bought one that works great on Sony Tablet S: DAGi P504. $20 on eBay.
People at DAGI sent me for free another one that actually works even better (P301). My tablet is the original one (not new Xperia branded).

Hey there. I come to see this post now, as I finally managed to remove the stock screen protector. I have the origina (non-xperia) s tab too and can never find a working stylus. Whats your feedback for the Dagi 504? I really wanna get into drawing with this tab, since I might not be able to purchase another for a wile. Does it glide smoothly? Do lines break? etc.

So I'm on the fence between the Adonit Jot Pro and the Dagi p505 styluses for my XTZ. I've been told and saw that people have problems with styluses from these two companies where the disk scratch the living hell out of the screen. Hearing that kind of put me off on buying either one til I find a stylus that won't scratch. I am looking for something with a fine tip which the p505 and Jot Pro provide but that scratch worries me. Oh and shouldn't the scratch resistant screen have no problem with them? Also, if anyone has any luck with any other styluses please let me know here or PM me. I'll be using it for taking notes and drawing occasionally.

I bought the adonit jot Pro and it works fine with the tablet BUT I'm also using xtremeguard's screen protector and the stylus gets stucked with the screen protector.
I think your screen will be fine as long as you use a screen protector because it's true some dust might get under the tip of the stylus so probably it might scratch the naked screen.
I think a cheaper screen protector might be the solution (but unfortunately in Mexico they are hard to find for this device).

I am using the Jot pro for sketches and it's good.
(I notice the little scratchiness with the pro but not always)

well it must be ipad lovers company, lol, because the Jot pro only mention the ipad, but It work on my tab Z very well. lol

Yeah I think that it uses specific software and communicates with the device via bluetooth...

It does scratch a little while writing/drawing but I'm using a armorsuit screenprotector and after I finish, the scratches go away within hours. This is over 2 and a half months of usage without switching out the disc.

Don't you have the same problem with armorsuit as I do? I mean, does your stylus sticks to your screen protector?
I think xtremeguard and armor suit are the same kind of screen protectors.

in the beginning it did a bit but after using it for a while it glides flawlessly like it was on glass. one thing I have to complain about if anything is that sometimes when I am writing notes or something, the screen would not pick up the pen in a certain area so I would have wipe that spot and it would work again. I don't know why that is but it isn't much of a bother.
Hi guys, right now I'm also on the look for a new stylus with a finer tip for my Xperia Tablet Z. I am getting more and more into drawing with the tablet and the inexpensive styluses with the chunky rubber tips are not cutting it for me anymore.
I just got the Adonit Jot Pro (3rd generation) on the weekend and I was immediately excited witht the new level of precision it allows. The moving plastic cap can be a bit clumsy at times but the added precision is worth the hassle.
Unfortunately the Jot Pro mysteriously "lost" its sensitivity in the next day. It would only register contact with the tablet when applying a lot of pressure. Maybe the stylus was defect or I just didn't notice this on the first day because of my excitement with the fine tip but I ended up sending it back and now I'm looking for a replacement.
Can anyone recommend an precision stylus for me? I am considering the following devices:
- Wacom Bamboo Fineline
- Adonit Jot Script
- Targus Stylus for Samsung
- Dell Active Stylus
- Samsung Stylus (3-Tip) for Galaxy S3
- Sony Digitizer Stylus for VAIO Duo11

Hi, how is your Jot Pro now? My friend owns a Dell Active Stylus and surprisingly it doesn't work on my XTZ.
I bought a cheap China versin 2 mm finetip active stylus and is working fair. Price was at USD 30...
After returning the Jot Pro I never got another one but as far I can tell I can confirm that it doesn't work with the Xperia Tablet Z. In the meantime I did a lot further research on the topic and I'm afraid to say that it all came to nothing. At least until the end of 2014 there was really no stylus with a fine tip on the market that would work on this device. The best results I got was with the Wacom Bamboo but it also has serious issues with diagonal wavy lines
I now own the Xperia Tablet Z2 but the situation is pretty much the same. No good stylus. I also contacted Sony asking for advice and they answered me that there is no stylus officially supported for this product. I am now using an cheap and ugly big rubber tip stylus to draw

strange that it worked for one day and then not.
Good Luck with finding one that works good.:fingers-crossed:
Update: I just ordered the "ReGear Pro Stylus" and it looks very good so far. Here is my short feedback on the Xperia Tablet Z2:
- Fine tip!
- Excellent responsiveness. Always recognized by the device and absolutely no broken lines
- Very good hold and feel.
- No Bluetooth needed.
- Runs on regular AAA batteries.
Of course it's still not perfect since drawing slowly in diagonals still causes the infamous "wavy" lines but it's certainly the best stylus I ever had so far, hands down!
which stylus is the best one to write on onenote app?
After a long wait till the prices came down I have upgraded to a note pro from a 10.1 2012 edition. I love it so far. I have been using Taobao for a while to buy various accessories Using Yoybuy as a shipping agent. I got my genuine samsung keyboard £30 it is the real thing. The only difference is the box and instructions is in Chinese. I started to look at spens. I found wacom bamboo stylus feel Selling for $1.64 I do have one as I am a designer and I have ordered a couple. It is worth a look for cases etc. Google translate comes in handy.
$1.64 for the stylus sounds wrong. Maybe it's a knockoff?

yes it does seem like an amazing price. I bought a couple so will keep you posted. I can always turn them into spen holders! Though I did get a bargain atomgsm.Co.uk are selling off all the samsung moschino and kirkwood offical note pro flip covers for only £11.69 I do like the black kirkwood one.
Link for kirkwood/moschino cases it is a UK company they are selling their note 3 cases and s5 cases cheap too.

The Wacom technology is patented, so it's no doubt a fake.
Still, if it works, it's probably still cheaper to just toss it in the bin when it breaks after a month or two and get a new one, you could do about 40 months for the price of the original.

There are a lot of fakes on the site mainly flip covers. But you can tell as the inner lining is always grey no matter what colour. A lot of generic spens definitely fake. Though there are originals as well.
The cheapest price I could get for an original samsung keyboard case here in the uk is $122. But got an original one from there for less than half the price Including shipping. I also got an original samsung bluetooth spen the one you can receive calls from For $24. It came out with the original note 10.1 2012. The price never really came down Works a treat with the note pro. Plus it comes with the full range of spen nibs from soft rubber to hard plastic. Which I got with my old note 10.1 2012 but sadly with my note pro just standard tips. If you are an artist or a designer the different nibs as well as calibration of the pen make a difference that's why I have a few pens.
But you are probably right about the wacom pen I am not holding my breath but it was worth the gamble.

Both, which is why I have 3 Bamboo Feels and 3 Spens for the same reason.
But I'm still miffed that my Intuos pen won't work on it. Different tech, I know; a girl can dream, right?
I've got a ton of stuff from china as well, some of it original, but for the serious accessories I prefer something with a warranty and quality certifications. The EU has a much, much higher legal quality demand than the US, let alone Asia. (You can notice the difference in the build quality of phones and tablets.)
Still, somtimes the low price is worth the shorter lifespan.

I thought intuos pen would work too but no joy either. Any other pens you could recommend? I have spen with eraser, bamboo feel, bt spen, note 3 pen 10.1 2011. Is it worth getting the spen holder or going for another bamboo feel? A girl can't have too many pens. The spen I got with my note pro the calibration was completely off the nibb sticks.......Hopefully a new nibb will sort it.
Any tips on drawing on the note or apps would be appreciated as there is always something new to discover.

What I did do was place the second rubber grip I got with the Intuos pen over the Bamboo feel. Bit of a tight fit, but now I've got a Bamboo pen with a very comfortable grip! (It doesn't look very pretty, but oh well.)
Haven't found a solution for the button yet, but it does make holding it whilst drawing much easier.
Haha, yea, I had to recalibrate all but one of the Bamboo pens. Nearly lost the button for the original Spen to the carpet in the process!
I've never tried the Spen holder, truth be told.
Here's a couple of apps to give a try :
Artflow: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bytestorm.artflow
Infinite Painter: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brakefield.painter
Can't forget our best friend's baby brother: Photoshop Touch! Tablet: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.adobe.pstouch Phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.adobe.pstouchphone (I sideloaded the tablet variant onto my Note 3 because I prefer landscape for Photoshop.)
For writing, lettering and sketching in one I love Papyrus. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.steadfastinnovation.android.projectpapyrus It has an option to write with the pen and erase with your finger for Spen devices.
INKredile is a Vector writing/sketching app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.viettran.INKredible&hl=en I use this for creating handwriting fonts, exporting it as a transparent png, loading it in Illustrator, image trace > 254 threshold + Ignore Whites > Expand > tweak > Place in Fontlab
And then there's Snapseed. Not quite a 'specially made for the Spen' app, but the Spen makes it that much more accurate! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.niksoftware.snapseed&hl=en (Made by NIK Software, the company behind NIKefex, who were bought by Google).

Thank you so much for your help I have got most of the programmes but inkcredible was just what I was after. I will try the intros rubber grip thanks for the tip I am after function rather than pretty. I do love the extra screen on this tablet. I love the note series.
Have you tried watercolour pencil I use it from time to time it gives you some really lovely drawing water blending effects.

Yea, Inkredible is a genius litle app. If you export as PDF, it exports as a Vector PDF. Real timesaver!
The only thing I miss is all my brushes in Photoshop.
Oh, fun! Didn't have that one yet! :good:
Have you tried Snapseed since it updated to version 2.0? That app is the main reason I'm buying this tablet and getting rid of my new laptop.

Yea, it's good. Still doesn't reach the level of its parent ColorEFEX (Which requires a full version of PHotoshop CS4 or higher), but it's a good dressed-down version.
