A pen is impossible to use with zagg screen protector.. What screen protector should be used with this phone that's helpful with using the s pen?
This a very opinion oriented question. SPG is usually pretty good. ZAGG is too soft for the Spen.

I'm using Just Like Glass and as the name suggests. I'd say it's the best protector I've used.

The manual says not to use a screen protector at all.... but I use the one Verion sold me.

I ordered a pair of JLG. I have read mixed reviews but I think its the best option for the note 2.

+1 here as well, and same goes for my wife's Note 2 and my brother's. We are all running the Verizon screen protectors and it's super smooth and slick, but it's comforting knowing that there is some form of protection on the screen.
So far hasn't interfered with S Pen operation at all.

I'm using the one Verizon had. I don't have any issues with it at all.

I've gone through two SPG(spigen) protectors, the ultra crystal and ultra optics. Honestly I don't like either of them. The ultra optics is matte so it's very rough and skips when using the S-Pen, but leaves no scratches and very little blemishes or fingerprints in the screen protector. The ultra Crystal is actually very nice and smooth, and almost feels like glass, but it gets surface scratches from everything, ESPECIALLY the S-Pen! It works great, and isn't usually noticeable, but if the screen is dark you can see it's scratched to high hell...but at least it's the protector that's scratched and not the screen.
For $15, I definitely don't think they are worth it at all, and I plan to send both of them back. Might have to try the Verizon one if they are that good. Mainly just want a smooth surface that doesn't scratch the protector, and works smoothly with the S-Pen.

i am using a screen protector from bestskinsever.. its great. pretty smooth for a ghost armor/zagg style, doesnt drag on the spen, and looks great. i was afraid the pen would leave marks, but has held up great so far. plus it was super cheap compared to the other brands of scratch proof protectors.
Surprisingly, the Verizon protector isn't so bad as far as pen feel and pretty well priced with my discount. But, i got cat hair under the first one when applying it, the second went back with the phone I had to return but already had some light scratches after 3 days. The third in the pack is on the replacement phone now and I'm waiting for a "just like glass" to arrive shortly. I ordered one for my wife's new gs3 too. They are super expensive but reportedly worth it.

I have the SGP Steinheil Crystal Clear on my GN2 and they are perfect, no loss of S-Pen functionality. I can say that I would not have every considered the 3M material based screen protectors based on the material type and that any use of the S-Pen would show up and wreck the material quickly. The SGP ones are $15.99 for a 2 pack or try the ones Verizon sells in a 3 pack for $13 but they are better when it comes to pen use.
I'm looking for a wacom based pen that I can actually hold like a pen. The issue I'm having is finding something compatible with the GN3. The closest thing I can find is the bamboo stylus feel for Samsung Note but the website says it's only been tested on the note 2, note 8, and 10.1.
Anyone out there have this pen and tried it on the Note 3? I emailed wacom and all I got in reply was that it hadn't been tested yet on the note 3.
Anyone know of another pen that is compatible with the note 3? I'd love to be able to still use the s-pen features but with a pen I can actually hold (I have big hands).
Thanks in advance

i know,you want a bigger one. right? but how do you attach your spen with you note 3?
I mainly need it for work so I don't mind carrying it in my pocket when needed.

The Microsoft Surface Pro stylus and the bamboo stylus feel are both compatible.

I've used the "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 inch S-Pen Stylus with Eraser" with my Note 3, and it works fine, but is still slightly smaller than a normal (e.g. fountain) pen. I also own a Note 10.1, and that worked with my non-Samsung Wacom styluses (bought with Wacom digitisers). I would anticipate that any Wacom active stylus should work OK.
Alternatively - if you can get any Note Stylus cheaply (Amazon seem to have a few), it should be reasonably easy to attach it to a normal pen?
Since it seems that note 10.1 stylus is compatible with note 3, I should add HP's tablet PC pen. Works perfectly and to me it was free! If you have one around give it a try!

The Wacom Intuos and Cintiq pens do not work. Which is really a disappointment, because I was so looking forward to using my Intuos4 pen......
So I, too, would very much like to know if the Bamboo stylus works on the Note 3.
I have a thinkpad x220 tablet and it has a wacom pen. Just tested it out and it works fine. Has the button, and the eraser end actually works too which is a plus. It's like a full size pen and I think its about $15 on ebay.
Knows anyone a stylus like the Bamboo Stylus Feel but also with included pen?

ya the button worked just like the spen and the best part is the eraser works too (at least on note pad which I tested it on) - wish the spen had an eraser
edit; I should note that I have a spare one that also works but is slightly off because the digitalizer is at the end of the pen and not pen tip, just remedied the problem by trimming some of the back of the pen tip off now it's good but probably a bit difficult to pull out if I was to replace it. Just a heads up incase you get a generic one.
Thanks for all the feedback. I actually came up with an alternative solution. I picked up a Pentel retractable eraser pen - http://quill.scene7.com/is/image/Quill/746_s7?iv=CnlqG1&wid=360&hei=360
Took out the eraser and just snapped in my s-pen. Fits perfectly and it even has a little button on the side that I can use to trigger the s-pen button. Once I'm done I just pull it out and place it back in the note 3. I also took apart another pen with a rubber grip and slid it over the eraser pen so it holds the s-pen in tight and gives me extra cumfort. Freakin' amazing

I can confirm that he Wacom Bamboo Stylus Feel does indeed work on the Note 3.
But Pentel eraser hack is pretty damn cool.... gotta find one

Not sure if you tried this already, but go to settings, controls, spen, and uncheck turn off pen detection

OP did say slim case, UAG is definitely not slim!
In the past I found Cimo to have the grippiest edges. The Speck Candyshell grip (just released) is the grippiest I have and isn't nearly as bulky or bulky feeling as the UAG in comparison.
Bear Motion slim (sand)
It's as minimal as it gets. It also has a sand like texture that's easy to grip.

Yeah those Nillkin ones with the texturing are great if you want slim and grippy.
I have one but haven't really used it since I went UAG. Does bulk up the phone a little but I feel naked with anything less.

Side grips
This case is very slim and has very deep diamond grips molded into the sides.

If you check out cases from Spigen, skip over the Neo-Hybrid line. Its edges are not grippy.

Can you expand on what exactly does and doesn't work?
Well you have to use a little more pressure than a regular capacitive pen. I didn't buy it the intention of taking notes or drawing with it. For me it was more tapping areas of the screen in my office doc's and such. That's why I sy works and it doesn't.

Yah I was hoping that it would be more useful than it is. I miss the s-pen and hope release a note 8.4

poetic capacitive stylus is more affordable
they both do the same thing
i usually go with the slightly more affordable option they seem to have done me good so far.
its just like a finger
u can use when ur wearing gloves
good for cold weather

What makes c pen different from s pen?
C-Pen is (Finger) touch only. and the S-Pen requires that screen have an additional wacom-like layer built-in to allow pressure-sensitive movements and pen hovering identification with the pen and the tablet screen.
So the s-pen won't work on our tablets ?

Unfortunately no. I tried with the note 10.1 spen and not worked.
Also, I tried with a regular pencil ( which works perfectly and nicely on the S5 ) , also not working with the tab pro ????

I've been using the Maglus(micro fiber tip) stylus on my tab pro 12.2.. Its the best stylus for capacitive touch screens out. Just read the Amazon reviews. Love it! I've been using it for note taking and drawing. :good:
Does anyone know if there is a case for the Note 3 that is similar to the grip shell by Motorola for the Moto G? It's basically a replacement battery cover with a rubber bumper built in so it gives you good protection but adds very minimal bulk to the phone. Thanks!
Me too
