S-Pen usage - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Okay...... Let's get some honest answers here!!!! How much do you guys really use the S-pen?? I wanted this phone for many reasons but the Pen was a big draw ( no pun Intended there). I have found that after a month I hardly use it!!

I use it daily for draw something. Other than the game... not too much. Sometimes for grocery lists and drawing on pictures. I lost it for 2 days and felt like my phone was rendered useless (not even close).

---

Hardly use it. Although with the light saber mod I pull it out just for the sound.

It wasn't a selling point for me. I didn't think I would use it very much at all, and I don't.
I use it rarely.

---

I use it all of the time. I got mine with the original VZW release and spent the next week at a professional meeting and used it all day instead of carrying a notebook. I use it now whenever I need to enter text; much easier to me than using the keyboard. I also have the s-pen with eraser, and while it is bordering on junk, I found it is much more intuitive to just pull than out of my pocket to write a note.

---

I use mine quite a bit. I like using it for entering text, as well as for navigating and editing photos. The apps Button Savior and GMD Spen Control make it much more useful.

---

I use mine a fair bit. I have a three year old who likes to color on my phone. I'm just getting over a torn tendon in my primary hand so using the s pen was easier than typing and now I've just gotten used to it. And I have actually used the note taking feature for work and home.

I use mine quite a bit as well. I bought mine to see if I could replace the note 10.1, which it essentially has. The main use is text entry during meetings. I also enjoy marking up pdf blueprints, as the pen makes things a lot more natural and accurate, which in the field, is essential.

I use it almost daily. It's great for web surfing so you're not constantly zooming in just to make an accurate tap. Also use it for Draw Something and for editing photos.

Polar opposite: The S Pen was not a factor at all in my decision to buy this phone. But now that I have it, I'm using the S Pen more and more. I make quick notes with it, use it on the keyboard for long emails, documents, etc. and a few other apps. It's getting to be more and more important to me.
So for me, it's gone from being a gimmick to a useful tool.

I use mine a lot but I drive cab so it's not to be able to always have something to write with on the go.

I use mine quite a bit as well. With GMD spen control app I find it extremely useful with my long list of gestures to do things.. I can pretty much do anything from anywhere at anytime.

I use it all the time.
I use it to take notes in meetings. It makes my note-taking closer to professional, not like using finger to type on ipad , god knows if you are playing games or typing notes.
Pen is suitable in professional meeting room.
And the pop-up note shortcut is just awesome. when i am in a call or something, can just take down phone number or other notes.
also use Notes to draw a close circle to take a partial screenshot and share it. =)

I use my s-pen most of the time I installed flow beta just so I could type with it better.

I use my s-pen all the time. I would say that I use it more at home then in public. As a Note owner I would invest in a app called "GMD Spen Control". A little on the expensive side at $5 but it gives you more control without relying on hard controls.
Even if you took the s-pen away I would still rank the Note 2 above the HTC DNA seeing that it was the phone I was craving for mid summer. But the best thing about the Note 2 is that you don't have to use the s-pen if that's not your style. But for me the s-pen is more precise when it comes to web browsing.

LOL!!! I just mentioned GMD spen in my post without reading this one. It cannot be stressed enough that this app is a must buy if you use the s-pen. I assigned the menu, home, recent and back actions to the top of my status bar and a tap carries out the action. Or you can just perform a shortcut move to bring up buttons/apps. Must buy app.

Too many bugs for me. Crashed and left the spen path on the screen after a gesture.
