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 to try this out. My pen from a HP tx2500 works too! The eraser, pressure sensitivity, and the button works. its a lot easier to use too. Thanks

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.

My Intuos2 doesn't work. I'll have to try Intuos3/Cintiq next time I'm at my friend's studio. Any way to disable non-pen drawing input on the S Memo app?
Wacom Intuos4 stylii also don't work on the Note, ah well.

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.

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.
I'm looking for a good sleeve/pouch style case for my tab 7.7.
I want it to protect it from scratches and maybe for "short" drops.
I have this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/SAMSUNG-GAL...ED8E/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1330242173&sr=8-6 , it serves the purpose but is too ugly for my taste
http://www.amazon.co.uk/HORIZONTAL-...RIOR-ACCESSORIES/dp/B005VAEDIY/ref=pd_cp_ce_1
I've got this one while I wait for my book cover style case from China / Hong Kong
Did you get it? Is it any good?
Sent from my GT-P6800 using XDA App
Yes, I received it on Saturday and it was a quick delivery as well. It's originally designed for the BlackBerry playbook and slightly smaller in dimensions in comparison to the 7.7
Some photos soon perhaps...
Another option is PDAIR, they also have pouch type case :
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=11000659_11001131_11001398&products_id=35043
IIRC, their case got some positive reviews before
Here are some photos attached to this post
I ordered a Noreve case for my 7.7, to hold me off while I wait, I picked up a Blackberry Playbook Zip sleeve. It was on clearance at a local store, got it for $10 vs the $40 it originally sold for!
It fits as if it was custom made for the 7.7, it's an absolutely perfect fit and nice quality! Getting this for $10 almost makes me feel like I wasted $100 over at Noreve, lol.
http://crackberry.com/blackberry-playbook-zip-sleeve
Ive already got this one and it works pretty good. I originally got it for a HTC EVO View, but it works good for my 7.7. I also just ordered this, only $7.45 shipped and the embroidered "Galaxy Tab" logo looks great. It also has a pull tab that lifts the tablet out of the sleeve. I know it will fit with no case on, but Im hoping it will fit with a snap on case I ordered from Brando. Probably wont, but Ill still use it.
PSA: The black Tab sleeve (ET-GTABBSSGSTA) doesn't fit the 7.7. Not wide enough.

I can confirm this. I wrote a short Amazon review so other 7.7 owners will know.
I went for the BlackBerry PlayBook case too - Only £7.50 delivered from Amazon UK.
It is a perfect fit and is made of memory foam. Quality.
Ahhg - it's only £4.41 now! Still - it was good value at £7.50.
Black, Grey, Orange or Sky Blue
Not sure if it's the exact one, there's no label on it and I've thrown away the packaging. But, using a Belkin Kindle case works well for me.

I've also got the Samsung book case, which fits nicely into the Belkin case for some extra protection when it's in my bag.
I got the blackberry one as well today. Is quite nice

Nook Color/Tablet sleeves work as well. So you can add those to the list. Accessories are pretty scarce at the moment so I'm reusing my Nook sleeve until my case arrives in the mail.

Is the Belkin case you're talking about actually for the Kindle Keyboard (3rd generation)? I have a sleeve for my kindle 3 and while I can slide the tab in, the top sticks out a bit. I should see if I can find my old kindle 2 case.

Well to be honest I know nothing about kindles so no idea which is which. The cover I have is pretty much the exact size of the Tab, it fits perfectly.

Thanks for this post. EVO view case fits perfectly
Not to resurrect a somewhat dead n' buried thread, but I'm on the hunt for a sleeve to protect my 7.7 while keeping the OEM bookstyle case always equipped on it.
I'm utterly disappointed at the lack of sleeves specifically designed for this tablet considering its made by Samsung, a top tier mobile computing company. Kind of reminds me why my next PC build will be Intel and not AMD, less third party vendor support - simply better chipsets and mobos. Maybe we should all get Ipads just to get some proper accessory support?
I'm kidding, but suggestions are appreciated. I even checked out amazon uk and can't find anything decent. I'm not too crazy about using a playbook branded sleeve either.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brand-New...ccessories&hash=item231876b2b0#ht_5251wt_1031
I am currently using this one，pretty good nice. works fine，shipping very fast
Just an FYI, the Blackberry Playbook Leather Sleeve, also works well with the Tab 7.7.
Hi!
I recently bought the KITVISION MONKEEGRIP tripod from Amazon for my Note 3.
I saw that it was compatible with the Note II so I though it would be with the 3 too, but when I tried it, it wasn't... The Note 3 is too big...
http://www.amazon.es/dp/B00AFSLE1G
Any recommendations?
I'de be interested if you find a solution.
This is a size qupte on itportal, crazy that less then a mm is that much of a difference.
The newer phablet is microscopically taller at 151.2mm compared to the Note 2's 151mm height, and also a shade narrower at 79.2mm (vs the Note 2's 80.5mm width).

If the difference is that small I would shave rubber grip to make it fit, unless you have bumper case or something. Shame on them, they made it fit just right, a lot of people have protective cases and with it Note 2 wouldn't fit either and this would be primary time (mounting/unmounting the phone) when most likely you could have drop it.
I'm thinking of using velcro attached to some plate that could attach to any tripod. My telescope tripod would work perfectly but it's way too big and bulky.e
I got my 12.2 this afternoon. So far so good but now it is time to get a good case, having that big screen unprotected is leaving me nervous.
Anyone having good recommendations?
Tab was pricey but came with a 64gb card and 6 months of Netflix free.
I haven't had much time with it but let me know if you have questions. This is my first tab (of any kind) but I've used Andis for a long time and have a rooted Note 2.
Thanks.
you bought the 12.2 note pro or tab pro? i'm looking for the 12.2 tab pro and it's not released yet..
It doesn't look like the cases from Samsung are out yet, and are only for pre-order at the mo. Also I don't see much in the way of 3rd party yet. It's great to have a bleeding edge device but it sucks to wait for everything like cases, root, etc..

12.2 Note Pro.
I'm not fully sure I will adapt to the size or if I need a tablet at all, so something tells me I might end up selling it in two or three days. That will definitely be a needless loss of money, but sometimes there's no way to know until you experiment.

try getting a BT keyboard and mouse, it might make things better, I guess..
If you search eBay there are a ton of cases for around $20. However, when I pick mine 12.2 up on Sunday I will be getting the Zagg Cover-fit bluetooth keyboard case. (link) I've had the original tab since day 1, almost 3 years ago, and I've been using the Logitec bluetooth case that is very similar to the Zagg case in the link. I literally have about 7 cases for my original tab at home that I've collected over the years but have only used the keyboard/case exclusively since I got it.
The Zagg is $100, which is what the Logitech cost at launch (I got it later on clearance for $15), but it's worth every penny.
Picked up an 8.4 yesterday and it's fantastic. Literally only the Belkin case is available immediately so I passed on that. I paid 50 for the Samsung Book case on their site...it appears to be available now, so hopefully it gets here quick. Toddler in the house!
Now we just gotta get these things rooted and unlocked with a form of stock Android. Magazine UX is terrible.
I'm waiting on the Tab pro to come out, but after using the poetic slimline case on my N7, I'll be looking at something like this http://www.amazon.com/Series-Samsun..._sim_pc_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=10YW9X29YEQEN39KKBS8. By mid-March, more cases may be around for 12.2.
The IBlason cases are linked in the Accessory thread.

I've been very happy with this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H1OQYIA/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The Moko Samsung Galaxy Note PRO & Tab PRO 12.2 Case.
It's cheap, but feels sturdy and nice materials. It has magnetic closure that turns off the screen of my Tab Pro 12.2 when I close the case. It props up nicely. The only minor issues I have are the pen holder is cheap stretchy material and is badly located and the case has a cheap elastic strap designed to help keep it closed. I don't use the strap. I may cut it off, but it's not intrusive.

- The Wacom Bamboo Stylus Feel for Galaxy Note. If you plan to do a lot of handwriting or just prefer a more pen-like feel.
Personally I prefer a sleeve and a seperate keyboard, so:
- Logitech K810 Bluetooth illuminated keyboard.
- Belkin Flipblade Adjust stand
- Samsung USB OTG adapter
- Logitech m705 marathon mouse (the logitech unifier reciever works with the OTG, so you can use any mouse/mouse+keyboard combo that uses that)
- Samsonite 13.3" Neoprene sleeve
- Samsonite 16" laptop&tablet messenger bag, or the Icicu 13.3" Neoprene tablet bag of I need a smaller bag. (not usually. I'm a woman, carry a lot of rubbish )
And on long days:

Well, I bought a NotePro, that should sufficiently confirm my rather expensive (but quite practical) taste
I figured, if I was going to spend my cash on a bag, might as well get myself one I can use for the next 10 years for everything. It wasn't too bad, considering the tab itself was 900 quid..
I use the keyboard about 25% of the time, so a case with a keyboard certainly would be overkill.

It would still be quite helpful to have your links to see pictures and model numbers. For example, I searched Samsonite 13.3" Neoprene Sleeve and there are several on Samsonite's website with a range of prices.
I also saw the post in which someone compared your Icicu bag dimensions to another (not nearly as elegant) bag. I looked up yours on the Icicu website and was disappointed there was no photo of the bag's interior (or even a closer view of the pockets). I wonder if you might be able to post photos of your bag with and without your things?

I also use this keyboard. I love the backlit keys and the ability to use the same keyboard with my tablet and my pc at the same time, switching between the two by simply pressing a button.
Other than that, I sometimes use a Logitech Zone Touch T400 mouse (I hate the noise the scrolling wheels make and this mouse solves that problem), although I primarily bought it to use with my laptop. The battery lasts forever.
I'm currently using the KLD case. I ordered a black one but it's really more of a dark brown with tan on the inside. I have a black Baseus case on the way.
I bought the Wacom Bamboo Stylus when I had a Note 10.1, but it wasn't as precise as the original pen, so I sent it back.

Most Logitech mouses these days have two scroll options, smooth and toothed. The scroll button changes the setting The smooth scrolling is ideal at night when each click sounds like a gunshot.

http://www.amazon.com/Ionic-Bluetoo...ubst_pc_5?ie=UTF8&refRID=0XGC69TMKWY9KT0R7QK9
It's a fraction the price of the Logitech. I was sure I was going to get the Logitech instead of the Zagg but now I think I should wait to see what other lower cost options exist.

I've had keyboards like that for other tablets and they worked ok for how little I used them. I had one that had issues pairing but that could have been the rom I was running at that time.....If you're going to be doing a LOT of typing then I'd invest in something better. But if you're just going to type once a week or every 2 weeks then this should work
THe thing I don't like about these cases, as well as the logitech one, is they are too bulky. One of the reasons I purchased the Note Pro is for how thin it is for it's size...I want to enjoy that aspect while using it.

I was planning on getting a K810 anyway for home computing and that could have been the answer to everything but then I would have no case. Even if I got a different case it would mean carrying the keyboard separately and paying a premium for a case and separate keyboard like the K810. That was why I thought the Logitech Pro with the built in keyboard was the best choice but now I'm stumped again because of the whole K810 option. If I find a really nice case then maybe I wont mind spending $100 on the K810 and another $50 or so on a case.

THIS is the case I bought and it only costs $13....I really like it a lot and for my needs it works quite well. I want to get the Otterbox case to use at work since I am a physical education teacher there's always that chance of something terrible happening to my technology. It adds bulk but for work at least I'll need something good...I have the Otterbox on my Note 2 and love it!! HERE is the screen protectors I am using and they also work quite well.
Even though I already have the ZAGG keyboard case I think I might also get the Samsung one as well. I here it's much better than the ZAGG & more durable...I'm just waiting for it to drop below $70...

Actually, I did shorten the nib as far as I could but it was still way off. It did not even occur to me to cut off the tip of the pen itself. I paid 45 dollars for it, I wanted it to work without looking like it was hacked by a two year old. So, the logical thing to do was to send it back and recover most of what I paid. I will get a Pilot pen and use that as a holder for the original pen like someone suggested in another thread, and I will have saved myself 40 dollars.

Did you read the specific post? Because I am fundamentally opposed to cutting bits off a Wacom pen. I was describing the steps for the official method of adjusting the sensitivity and the offset...

It would still be quite helpful to have your links to see pictures and model numbers. For example, I searched Samsonite 13.3" Neoprene Sleeve and there are several on Samsonite's website with a range of prices.
I also saw the post in which someone compared your Icicu bag dimensions to another (not nearly as elegant) bag. I looked up yours on the Icicu website and was disappointed there was no photo of the bag's interior (or even a closer view of the pockets). I wonder if you might be able to post photos of your bag with and without your things?

Certainly! I'll take some pictures once I get home!
Ok, the links:

Oh, you meant adjusting the potentiometer? I've tried that too, before cutting the nib, in fact, but I wasn't satisfied with the results. I used it with Note 10.1, maybe it works better on 12.2, but I didn't like it well enough to give it another try. The original pen still works best in my opinion and the Bamboo is not worth the expense.

AmazonBasics 11.6-Inch Laptop and Tablet Bag

Just curious to anyone who has this bag, how much room is left in the bag after the tablet is in it? Will it fit the tablet, with a keyboard case, a BT mouse, charger(s), and maybe a handful of odds and ends like a few file folders, pens/pencils, notebook, deck of Yugioh cards, etc.
How tight does it fit in the bag? It says it's for a 11.6" tablet, is the 12.2" Note Pro a tight fit?
I was actually looking at this one for about 50¢ more: ARCTIC MB201 Messenger Bag for Tablet/Laptop up to 12" Display , Water-Resistant Ballistic Nylon - Black

The tablet JUST fits with the ZAGG keyboard case but you can fit cables & a mouse no problem

Hmm... Maybe I'll have to look at something a hair bigger.
