I notice that there are no spare nibs in the box.
My previous umpteen Note smartphones have all come with some spare nibs and a removal tool but none came with the Tab S7. The irony is that I intend to use the pen much more with my tablet than I ever did/do with the phones...
How long should the nib last, and if it wears down do we have to buy a whole new S-Pen?

Mine only lasted for two weeks.Since I was using a glass prorector on tab,then the tip sort of
wore off.Since original one is rubber.i bought new ones from Amazon,Its plastic tip and works better even than original on My Tab S7 t875.
The Nibs costed around a dollar each. I tried nibs from my old Note 4 laying around and guess what they also work great.
how do you change them?
Contact Samsung on their live chat and tell them the nip is fraying and it causes the pen to be inaccurate. Insist on the fact that the pen itself is perfectly fine, and it's simply the nib that starts fraying. After being gently persistent, 30min later they eventually agreed to send me a replacement.
In reality my nib was fine, I just wanted a replacement just in case
Even though they don't sell nibs for the Tab S7, they still ended up sending me 2 replacement nibs with a small tweezer to get the nib out for free. It arrived 3 days later
Bonus: One of the 2 nibs they sent is harder than the original and seems to be far more durable. It also feels better on the screen when writing/typing. Been using it for over 3 months and no signs of wearing.

They sent me pretty much the same thing. My nib was fine, I didn't break it or anything, I just wanted a replacement just in case, and also curious to see if Samsung would actually be willing to send replacements free of charge.

I ordered a 3 pack of these bad boys from amazon; $13 shipped for 3 is much better than boxwave's $16 shipped for one...now we need to see if they fit properly!
http://www.amazon.com/Fosmon®-Premium-Quality-T-Mobile-Ballpoint/dp/B003752IWI
I will report back once they arrive =)
Can't guarantee those will, but I CAN guarantee that these will. The ORA Stylus from Expansys-USA and for less than $12 (sans shipping).
Boxwave tried to poo-poo these when I asked how come a single boxwave pen/stylus cost as much as a three-pack of these.
I have the three-pack for my Sprint Touch Pro2. First batch were defective, and even before I said anything Expansys-USA admitted they had sent me defective ones and replaced them.
Never an issue since.
Please write back and say if these fit your Sprint (CDMA) Touch Pro2 and how well they work. Always need new styli.
Did you recieve the stylus yet???
Is it a PERFECT fit?

I bought a 3 pack. Yes, they fit just like the originals. They are very slightly different when inserted, but it is not noticeable. They work just like the OEM; when I remove the stylus the device unlocks.
yup they fit Tmobile tp2 perfectly and for roughly $4 delivered each boxwave can suck it sideways!
any pics of how they fit externally? you said there is a minimal difference with the OEM stylus..
fosmon fits tp2 just fine
i finally got my 3 pack today. took 2 weeks as the first shipment to me was lost. In short these guys are exactly the same length as the original however the steel barrel is of a smaller diameter. Looks like they simply used a high quality pen cartridge and cut it down to fit, then added the plastic tips at both ends. 3 for $14 I cant *****. I would recom recommend.
Will this stylus fit AT&T Tilt2? Probably it will, just want to be sure
I bought these from Expansys USA and they fit like a charm. Even before I was able to complain that the pens weren't working, I received an email from Expansys USA that they had sent me defective pens and replaced them with no questions asked.
Stylus fits fine. It's a great thing to have a pen when you need one.
Thanks! Needed to know this. Just bought a stylus for my Tmobile TP2, but it was the sprint branded one...lets just say I had to "modify" it to make it work. Now I can get three that look right for less than the $21 shipped that HTC charges for their 3 pack!
Wow, awesome find! Just ordered mine, can't wait...!
Fits my VzW TP2, but...
The Fosman metal stylus fit my VzW TP2, but it initially caused some weird behavior. I have stylus lock engaged so my device will not wake up, etc., with stylus. The device ignored the lock with the Fosman stylus! Finally got it working by unloading and reloading device lock.
Worse still, the ink dried up after only a couple of weeks and literally less than 20 words written. Since that was the only reason to go with the Fosman, I have gone back to the OEM stylus. (Yes, I know I got a 3-pack, but what good is a pen that dries up after a couple of uses?) I should have thought about it -- look how small the barrel is for any ink reservoir ...
Where'd you buy it?

I bought mine at Expansys-USA and they replaced it saying that they had shipped me a defective set. No questions asked and the new set don't dry up.
I got that same pack on Amazon for 9.99 + 3 for shipping the fit and work great.

You can also order them from tmobile's site for 9.99 + 6 shipping and taxes.

Do they fit in the tilt 2?
Just got mine in from Amazon.com for 9.99 + 3 for shipping as well. They fit great and still work w/ stylus sensor and writes well. We'll see how long the ink lasts...
anyone know where i could buy a stylus with ball point for the normal touch pro2 on ebay? because hard to purchase when in in Australia. Thanks
I made my own out of a htc stylus some melted plastic a file and a black paint marker. I just ordered the fosmon one thanx everyone for letting me know this one works.

I wasn't going to get one based on all the mixed reviews and I wanted a "proper" case with multi-view angles, but for now I guess this will do at this price. At least it's not $45+

Hi there! I bought this case for someone else (gift), and I'm not sure if it fits the tablet well (I don't have the tab with me). Are you able to lock the front cover in place? Or is it basically just a flap? If you can post a pic that would be great! Thanks!

Search Youtube for a clip titled "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 Original Sleeve and Screenprotector Review." (3:03 long) It shows the case in action. (Sorry I can't post links yet cause I'm such a noob.) From that video it doesn't look like the cover locks closed. It does look pretty damn sleak though. I've alread ordered one off eBay.

I thought the Samsung bookcase cover for the OG 7" did this a little better. The corners of that one protruded out past the screen just enough for the cover flap to nestle in. The 7.7 cover doesn't flop around like some iPad covers I've seen, but it's not as snug as the Samsung 7".
Anyway, I think 7.7 looks great and performs adequately and is good to have even if it's $20 too much.

I ordered mine from Cellguru yesterday for the $31.XX. Must have gotten the last one
A bit out if the subject but i think the following would be a better case than the samsung one. For starters it opens from right to left, as it shoukd,and the cover does not flap open as it has small magnets so it stays closed at all times. It also has easy access to power and vol up/down buttons, ear phone jack, mic, charging slot and speakers as well as the sim and sd slot. There would be no need to removed tad to access anything. The seller will also ship a combo stylus/pen, the stylus has a rubber end and it works flawlesly on the tab. I ordered mine about 2 weeks ago and received it yesterday, it came all the way from china. I originally payed 19.99 but the seller has then raised it 29.99, i guess due to the popularity of the tab. I still think its a very good deal for a very good case.

Are you sure, because OEM stands for "Original Equipment Manufacturer" and since Samsung is the manufacturer (i.e OEM) of both the 7.7 Tab and the 7.7 Book Cover Case, the Case could be considered both the "Original" case as well as being the "OEM" case

I think cases like this where you have slide the tablet in really hide the asthetic beauty and slimness of this devise. They also make it look thicker. The Samsung case is very thin. The tablet snaps in securely and allows you to see how thin the tab is. It doesn't mattervwhich wasy it opens. I can access all ports without taking it ot of the case. Obviously it all comes down to personal preference but I have seen no cases that come close to the Samsung.

I know how you feel man, I really dont recommend this case at all.
Thanks for this post, I would have never known about this if not for you... You Da Man
I tried the D30 dual protection case with the coupon, didn't like how it didn't wrap around the phone case and rise above the glass, so took it back and got their "band" cover with clear back cover. The US stores also have a "buy 2 get 1 free" offer for accessories for a few weeks. Some stores may notice that this coupon cannot be combined with any other promotion, but the girl who sold me the first cover last week didn't bother to check that ... whoops, I missed that opportunity, could've got a $35 accessory for 30% off, then another, and gotten some earbuds or something free. D'oh!
I'm not usually one to spend a bunch of money on a case...but this one looked to awesome to pass up:

As nice as this case is I'm a little skeptical about its practicality. For one the wallet/case appears to add a lot of extra bulk to the phone, kinda making it to big to put in your pocket.
Second, it is a case-wallet. Would you be using it as a wallet as well? If you are keep in mind that if you ever lost your phone you would be losing your money, credit cards, ID's, etc along with it. Basically you would be getting screwed in 2 ways if your phone happened to get lost or stolen.
Third, unless you have a Bluetooth headset it seems a little too cumbersome to have a call on. The flap seems like it will get in the way unless you fold it back.
Lastly, the price. $60 for a case is just a lot of dough. I'm not one to cheap out on a case but for this to work for me I would not only need the case but a full body kit such as Zagg, Bodyguardz, Phantomskinz, etc to go along with it.
Don't get me wrong its a beautiful and classy looking case, just not sure if its for me.
I like these cases a lot. I think they may appeal to many people. I have always wanted a case that incorporates a wallet. However, my ideal case would be a big rugged Trident, Ballisitc or Otterbox that allows you to slide in a few credit cards.
I should add that I like the look of the cases. I haven't actually seen them in person.

I agree with pretty much everything you said here. That being said....
I currently use a Credit Card Case for my IPhone 4S and have carried my License, Credit Card, and Debit Card with my phone for the last 8 months. I absolutely love being able to not have to carry around a separate wallet. I haven't lost my phone as of yet, so no worries about losing my credit cards...but I understand how that might be a concern for some. It just simply cuts down on the number of things I have to scramble around the house to find before I can go out. My checklist currently is (Keys, Phone, and unfortunately...cigarettes). Now...would I prefer to have it in a non-flip case format (like what I'm using now)? Sure would. But until someone comes out with one for the Note, this will have to do.
On that note (no pun intended), case manufacturers need to pay attention here. I suppose when a phone is as insanely popular as the Iphone's are, it makes sense to make a wide variety of cases. Android phones don't seem to get the same kind of love. I would buy immediately a thin case that allowed me to slide a couple of cards on the back of the case..but alas...no credit card case android love.
Will this hold the i717 tightly? My flip cover for the N7000 does not fit on my i717.

No phone yet, but this case came in today!
wow! it looks a lot lighter than i expected. Still nice though ^^
How well does money fit in there? I pre-ordered one from ebay as well, and I'm just waiting for it to come in.
I've been using an iPhone wallet for months now and love it. I can't go back to using a standard wallet. I already got my hands on the Anymode wallet case with a swivel stand, but I'm not happy with the little bulk the swivel button adds in the center.
Since I'm a noob I can't post a link yet, but its one of the two tone wallet cases on ebay that have the picture window for the a drivers license. I also find that the swivel piece moves a bit too freely.

Sorry to hear that!!!! When I ordered it said more than 10 left....Guess they had a rush on them.
My Advantage came with a case like this. Even though it offered great protection and the ability to stand the phone up, I found it to be too cumbersome so it never saw the light of day. I got a belt case instead.
I can see why you bought it, impressive...kinda retro-classic...but still tasteful; not overdone. Right out of a Gibson novel. A unique case for a unique device.
Interested how this eye candy will translate into practical daily use. Feel free to update.
No worries on the magnet. The notes amoled should be okay with the magnet, just don't rest it on your laptop at home or worse get near a plasma tv!

I really liked the old one that I used for my Note II. I did try to squeeze my Spigen case in there... it technically worked... but too tight for my liking. I ordered a universal one that was supposed to fit 6" phones and had good reviews. Had a coupon as well and got 15% off and free worldwide shipping. I posted about it a few days ago... My biggest concern with this dock is where the pads will meet the phone may be where the power and volume buttons are. The one I ordered has a small but very grippy area, so I can off-set the phone in it to avoid the buttons.
I have one from my Note 3 I'll take some pictures when I go home. Its been collecting dust in my basement for a while I'll let you know how it goes.
I have this dock, it literally just closes round the phone, the only thing is sometime the sides catch the volume rocker
http://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/vent-adhesive-combo-mount/ I purchased this one the other day phone fits only paid 15$ with vzw work discount works pretty well so far ..
