any confirmed working stylus for the nexus 6? I was thinking of buying the Bamboo Stylus.
Why wouldn't a stylus work?

If the Bamboo Stylus states it'll work with Android you should be good to go.
You can also "rig" your own stylus using a Bic pen body, sponge and a staple/paper clip.
You take the pen and the inkwell out of the pen body. Make two small holes for the staple/clip. One hole needs to be closer to the bottom to make contact with the sponge that you'll stuff into the pen body. The other hole is to keep the staple/paper clip in the pen. Then cut the sponge to a size that will fit in the pen body (you won't stuff the whole thing, so you don't need a lot). Once it's in, use an xacto/utility knife to shape the tip. That's it.
One last note, some part of your hand has to be in contact with the staple/paper clip (which is in contact with the sponge) for it to work.

Ive been wanting a stylus to use on my g-tablet for a while, especially since I got swype working. Anybody have any good suggestions?

I picked up an ipad stylus at bestbuy that has worked quite well.
The only Stylus I have isn't what I expected, its a soft rubber that emulates a finger touch. Feels weird and I can't draw with it. Is there a hard tipped stylus out their that will work?
I have been using the DAGi Capacitive Stylus. It has a unique transparent plastic round flat tip, so that you can see through the tip and it doesn't obscure the area you are touching with the stylus. There is a little red dot in the middle of the flat tip that essentially is the contact point for the stylus. It takes a while to get used to, but it is pretty good for drawing apps. I've been trying out Autodesk Sketchbook Mobile for drawing.
I also tried the Acase 2nd generation stylus, which has a soft rubber hollow tip. I found I really have to press down hard with that stylus to get it to register well.
However, as I have installed the Skinomi screen protector on the gTablet, that extra layer seems to reduce the sensitivity of a stylus. I think a stylus would work better without a screen protector, but I really like the protection and reduced fingerprint mess with the Skinomi so it's a trade-off.
I recommend 3M Smartpen. Here's my video on it with the g tab: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6y6Aqx3W7U
I'm on TNT lite 4.4
I have used the Targus but took it back and bought the Dagi.
Better, especially for drawing.
I went ahead and bought a Ten One Pogo Sketch stylus, but I think I might also buy the Dagi, that is a great design. I'll let you guys know how the Pogo is.
The absolute best stylus for the G-tab is the just mobile alupen.
Seriously, just check out YouTube.

ahhh gary, i wish i read this before i purchased my Acase! I was reading a lot of excellent reviews for the Acase so I bought it and sure enough, it works well in most applications but NOT on top of a thick screen protector like Skinomi. It's practically useless for me now unless I take off the screen protector, which I am very hesitant to do just for a stylus.
How does your DAGi capacitive stylus hold up against your Skinomi protector?

The DAGi stylus does register better than the Acase stylus through the Skinomi screen protector. Still not responsive enough in my opinion for fluent handwriting or artwork, but does work OK for simple "clicking". Too bad, as I really like how the Skinomi protector reduces fingerprint mess.
DAGi has several stylus models, so I may try another with a more flexible bendy tip.
I can't wait to try the Wacom stylus whenever that makes it to retail.

I was thinking of attaching a tip on the opposite end of the scribe pen so that I can turn it backwards and use it as a touchscreen stylus. Any suggestions as to what would be the best item to use. I know on the ones I have seen in the stores the tip has a spongy bounce to them but the are a rubber material.
Capacitive rubber comes in sheets or tubing. There's also capcitive foam, but it won't be as durable.
The trick is the adhesive, you need to male sure enough of the material touches the aluminum pen.
Or maybe plastic film protector for the screen, which seems to conduct electricity.
Thanks for the info. It is too bad they didn't fix the other end of the pen to be used as a regular stylus. If I find something that works I will post back here with it.
I'm also looking for such a conductive rubber thing for the other end of the pen. I think a ideal solution would be a conductiv rubber tip or something similar which can be pulled over the end of the pen and sits tight (could easily be removed for battery changes). Unfortunately I haven't found such a thing til now.
Someone at XDA did find a capacitive tip which they were able to stretch over the cap... I forget which user, but it was in one of the early threads. Maybe the wacom capacitive stylus would work, it looks like the proper diameter.
Two suggestions
I have 3 (edit) suggestions
1. Buy a cheap stylus, cut off the capacitive head and afix it to the top of the HTC pen. I found these at $2.60 for three. You have 3 tries to get it right.
http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Touch-Screen-Stylus-Silver/dp/B002BBJMO6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1311768442&sr=8-1
2. Ideally, if you can find a metal cap with a capacitive head that fits over the HTC Pen, you would have an elegant solution. If something like this fit, it would be great.
http://www.amazon.com/Engraved-Capacitive-Executive-Warranty-Metallic/dp/B004ZK8JLI/ref=pd_bxgy_e_img_c
I found this too: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1004382302/more-real-stylus-cap
edit #3. this just in... What about this touch tip? http://store01.prostores.com/servlet/truetip/Detail?no=48 - (edit #2) NOPE these are NOT capacitive caps. sorry
Maybe I'll experiment with my back up fujitsu pen.
hmmmm
From the TrueTip website...
*TrueTip styli currently only work on resistive (pressure sensitive) touch screen devices.
Our styli do not work on an iPhone, Droid or similar conductive touch screen devices.
We hope to have a stylus solution for these devices soon - Please check back!*
I have one of the 2-in-1 pens fory iPad and they do work... The problem is that you would be carrying two pens for your device, which is what this thread is trying to solve.
I briefly read that the Sharpie marker caps seem to fit the Scribe pen. They make a metal version of that marker, but then you're back to metal on glasss... But would probably be easier to wrap with plastic film.

I am not sure I explained myself well. I meant if it fits, take the stylus cap off the 2 in 1 and put it on the flyer pen. Then you will be carrying one stylus that serves both functions.
HTC Flyer / Tapatalk
Ok. So I should probably clarify, my pen 2-in-1 is the push button type which allows the tipto be retracted.
I like the kickstart product... In your post.
It seems so simple.
A simple plastic clip with an adhesive back so I could clip my pen top edge of the screen (where the HTC logo is) when I'm not using it.
Would be SO helpful yet no one makes one. HTC are you listening? How hard would it be to include this with the tablet? Or how about with the pen you charge a fortune for?
I am going to look around. I bet something like this exists for holding a pen to a dry erase board or something and I can adapt it to the EVO.
Have an idea.
Think I'll just get a simple piece of black leather, cut a small strip, wrap it around my pen for fit and stick the ends to a small piece of double-sided foam tape. then just stick it to the top front of my View (where the HTC is) and presto, pen holder.
Or even easier, get a long thin strip of velcro and stick it along the top front of the tablet, then take a long strip of the soft fuzzy side and stick it to my pen. That should hold it pretty well while I'm typing on the tablet.
Another solution I have found is to add a cap with a clip to the back of the pen (a sharpie cap fits perfectly). Then attach this to a tether that fits into the headphone jack (many capacitive styli come with this tether). The pen dangles a bit, but what the heck, it is safely attached.

Thanks. Yes, I thought of this as well but i hate the dangling pen part. Will post photos of whatever I come up with.
Not sure if this helps you in your search. I use a clip from a 2 dollar in line air blower or a pencil tire pressure gauge … fits the pen perfect.
Here’s a pic http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5220128/clip1.jpg
I have my flyer in a Blurex case and the pen snaps onto the closing latch.
I could have gotten a case with a pen holder. The problem is that I use the note app to do some.pretty hardcore thumb typing as I'm on the phone. In order to fly the tablet has to be comfortable in my hands. This means no bulky case so I just have a simple protective case on the back and no pen holder.

Thanks for the lead on that. I want a black one and it seems they are selling every possible color except black. Oh well.
In the meantime I've come up with a simple solution that has the benefit of not adding thickness to my tablet when I put it in it's sleave or in my pocket.
It is just simply some velcro tape applied as show in the photos. Works a charm.
Thanks Kudzus for your idea of the tire gauge pen clip. It works perfect for me. Thanks!
It didn't scratch the finish off your pen like one of the other members stated?
Google Nexus 6 Case, J&D Stand View Nexus 6 Wallet Case PU Leather Folio w/Stand Feat
If your looking for a nice leather-like case for your Nexus 6 you might want to check this one out on Amazon... Just recieved it today and so far I'm very happy. Two slots for cc's and a third one with a clear window for your DL. I have 6 cards in it and it still closes perfect! The hard plastic holder for the n6 holds my phone nice and snug. The magnetic clasp holds the case close tight. When watching videos or just in landscape mode the case holds the position you set it in for your viewing pleasure, and the double sided magnet holds the flap out of viewing... I just saw it for $14.00 on Amazon!
I will up date my review in the following weeks to let you know how it's holding up.

Funny how the description says genuine leather, but the images say otherwise.
I just bought a galaxy tab s4 and this might be a stupid question but is it possible to stick the the s pen onto the tablet like how the iPad pro holds its pen instead of having to carry it separately.

Not that I'm aware of. I use this case which has a handy S Pen holder. But then I put the S Pen in an old eyeglass case when it is in my laptop bag.
That case is nice, but I use this one since it keeps the SPen from hanging out of the case: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QFTWDQ...olid=15LEXHYSN1K1O&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
Thanks!
I use original Book Cover and love it
The original Book Cover does fine, although an embedded pen as in the GT-N8010 would have been nicer.

My Note 10.1 has an embedded pen, and it is awful. I haven't taken it out in years. I always carry a bamboo feel stylus instead.
S4 S Pen
I have the OEM keyboard case but had to order a new pen because it was lost by the previous owner. It did not come with the clip to attach it to the case. They have several little sleeve type things that strap on to the case on Amazon but if anyone has any idea where to get the original clip, that seems preferable. I'm obviously not buying the $100+ case I already have just for that clip. Thanks in advance.
I was wondering the same as I have switched from book cover to no cover at all (I installed matte finish protectors on front and back)
I got an idea the other day. If you could 3d print a sleek holder for the S pen that could attach on those 2 little notches on the bottom edge that are meant to hold on to the keyboard cover. Another awesome option would be a magnetic holder that could attach to the POGO pins in between those 2 notches I mentioned earlier!
A cheap alternative

I'm a little late, but did you ever find where you could get the snap on thing for the OEM keyboard?
I bought a Tab S4 a while back from the original owner but they lost the s pen and the s pen holder (and thus marked down the price so I simply ordered a replacement s pen for cheaper). So I have the replacement s pen but would also like to be able to snap it to the keyboard.
@Austinwc0402 Take a look at the poetic website. They have a transparent case with a nice s pen holder. Way nicer than the original one.
