I have a Lenovo Thinkpad tablet that didn't come with a stylus. Anybody know where the cheapest place to get one is?

Cheapest I've found is Amazon.com, here.
It seems to be at least $40 everywhere else.
If you want to go cheap, any n-trig pen should work for the tpt. I had a stylus from an HP slate which worked just as well on my thinkpad. Problem would be fitting in it's holder though. Check eBay I got an official pen there new for around $40 (USA)

This isnt actually a cheaper option, but hear me out. The stylus from the HTC flyer works great with the Thinkpad Tablet, AND fits in the hole in the back of the device. The buttons on the pen apparently are useless, great for me, since I moved from a flyer to this - the pen was free because I already had the Flyer stylus.
Other than the HTC stlyus being grey as opposed to red/black - I cannot see any difference between the two. Only problem is - the HTC stylus is about 20 dollars more expensive than the lenovo one. /Facepalm
Amazon as a large selection
I tried 2 stylus (the jot pro and a 3M stylus) but both do not work. Regardless whether i I am using screen protector or not, the screen does not sense the stylus at all. Have you guys got the same issue?

XTZ does not support active styluses like s-pen from samsung, it can only detect a passive stylus...
passive styluses don't come with a fine edge so don't think that any decent work can be done with the stylus like writing notes or something.
Any standard capacitive stylus should work with it, and I find ASUS' stylus headset and a cheap stylus both work. Pressure sensitive types that require bluetooth may be problematic.

Any capacitive stylus _should_ work. I recommend the Wacom Bamboo Solo stylus. It's pretty good, but still not as good as an active stylus like the ones the Samsung Note series uses.

Hi,
Does anyone have any recommendations for dell venue 8 cases? I've been looking everywhere and all I see are cases for the pro series. I found one but the black color is out of stock on amazon with only purple and pink colors left, which I don't want haha.
I have an Evercase in black that I got from Amazon as it was about the only option available at the time.
It does not fold over backwards or stand as well as it possibly could. Otherwise a nice looking quality product. Has to be left open to charge, kind of bothersome. So I'd give it 3.5 stars on design, 4 stars on quality and 5 stars on price.

This was the only one I was able to find too, but the black sold out when I posted this and was not available for backorder. Looks like i'm now able to back order it.

Oh sweet, thanks, I wasn't able to find this the last time I tried to look for a case. This one looks real nice and it looks like it has a magnetic cover too. I might get this one but I'm not sure what to pick between the two.. decisions decisions..
Does anyone know any good cases that can be sold in Canada? The Amazon link only ships to US addresses. I'm interested in getting the Dell Venue 8 but all the good cases I've found are either for the Venue 8 Pro or the Venue 7...
Thanks,

I bought the Targus Kickstand Case for $14.99 from Dell with my Venue 8, and while and it fits the tablet very nicely, it blocks the charging port when closed and it lacks a loop to stash a stylus. Other than that, it is a nice solid well made case.

Do you have a link to the Targus Kickstand case for the Venue 8? I can't seem to find a picture.
I did find a "Folio kickstand case" for $29.99. Is that it?

The description is wrong though. The case has no stylus holder which kinda annoys me... I'm thinking about ordering the other case for it which does have a stylus holder. Also this case blocks the charging port when it is closed. I'll link some pics of it soon if you'd like.

Gotcha. Well there's actually 2 cases for it on Dell's site. I bought that one because it was half price when I bought my Venue 8 from them for $150.

I got this case, as it is the best option I could find at the moment. It is not too bad and does the job.

I just got this today. It's a nice little cover, with a magnet that keeps the cover shut. It's lean and pretty much keeps the form factor. I am going to get two, in fact - I ordered one from China due around 1/15, but then Amazon decided to ship it themselves and with my Amazon Prime membership, I just pulled the trigger and got it shipped in two days.
I got a case from ebay for about $15 came with a stylus, will post a review when it arrives.
As far as screen covers, i got the Armorsuit from amazon.It looked pretty crappy when I put it on, but by the next day it really cleared up and looked incredible (per the instructions). It comes with some liquid spray that helps with positioning and squeezing out bubbles.
More of a lurker, will root and flash CM11 when the heavy lifting is done. But I am here for emotional support, cheering you all on from the sidelines. I still use my samsung Captivate on CM10.2 thanks to hard workers like you guys. Could never figure it out without the walkthroughs.
Just got the Poetic case today from Amazon and am pretty happy. The fake leather is soft and it doesn't have a bad smell like some reviews have noted. Also size wise it is very comfortable. After reading other reviews I was worried it might be to big. Not the case for me. Another nice touch is the magnetic seal when closing the case.
Some small critiques: there is a small amount of shifting so that the alignment of the camera to the hole is off. Functionally not an issue but when looking it is obviously not centered. Also while the quality of the build seems top notch I would not be surprised if it fell apart suddenly after being exposed to water or a dog.
If any thing changes I will update is post.

Also in case anyone is looking the Dell site is carrying cases again.

Just got mine today. It looks pretty cheap and cheesy. The seams are only single stitched. The case dies not make it any less awkward to hold as it has no holding strap. Alignment is crooked as it's obviously not centered. It merely slips in to cut out fake leather and tuna flap secures with vecro. Have to leave case open to plugin data cable. The stand up flap is a cheesy design.
For $15 shipped came with stylus and screen protector.
I will metro it to avoid the hassle of eBay returns.... But I will also snap pic so you can steer clear of it.

Bought the ivso case off Amazon for 18.5 I think. I like the case a lot but the metal on the flap may scratch your screen. I took the metal piece off and the case looks better imo and is still functional. it also keeps the form factor, I'll take some pics later.
I also bought the joto screen protector, don't know about durability but I like it.

Hi
I know that there is a thread for Bluetooth keyboard cases but i wanted one with a trackpad also
I have seen a coup,le on amazon for the UK but obviously none are for the Sony
has anyone got any experience on these as to if they would fit or work ?
The one is for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 ( the Dimensions of the note are H180xW262)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/TPC-Tech-To...1-11&keywords=galaxy+note+10.1+bluetooth+case
and the one for the surface Pro (the Dimensions of the Surface are H172xW275)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bluetooth-K...91431137&sr=1-3&keywords=surface+pro+keyboard
as the sony is H172xW266 the note is close by 4mm and the surface case is a bit too big but i assume that in either case i can make it fit
The surface case seems to be the easiest as the tablet just fits in with the 4 straps but does anyone know if the surface Keyboard and Trackpad will be compatible with Android
Thanks
hi
I went ahead and purchased the keyboard and touchpad combo for the surface pro and it fits and works perfectly
obviously some of the keys are for windows but thats not a massive issue but the touchpad is brilliant just a little on the small size
but for the money its certainly worth it

That's cool, need to get a BT keyboard with touchpad.
Anyone know of any attachable wireless keyboard covers, kind of like the Nexus 9 Keyboard Folio?
I think the Zagg Folio 8 works but covers the power button and stylus.

There is another thread on here if you were to use the search feature where I asked the same thing a couple months ago. I'm using the mentioned Zagg Auto-fit 8" and think its a good option. It would be nicer to have something that attaches to the magnetic hinge, but meh, its working well enough.
