Other pens? - Galaxy Note II Accessories

The note 2 pen isnt the best, sadly my htc flyer pen even though it is wacom wont work on the note.
What pens that are more comfy (larger, bulkier) do you use?
The s pen feels in my giant hands like a toothpick

Has all the functionality of a stock S-Pen plus the added benefit of functioning as a bluetooth headset in a pinch.

OP the HTC Flyer I believe is N-Trig no Wacom... which is why it doesn't work on your Note II.

Yep, it's N-Trig. So far the only other Wacom pen I've found to work with my Note came from one of my old Fujitsu convertible laptops. It needs calibrated though, causing the point to not be where the stylus point is, and the eraser on the back or the switch on the side doesn't work.

Would this Pen be a good Galaxy Note 2 companion?

I came across this a few days ago. Its the HM5100 BT S Pen from Samsung. Im really interested in it but since it was only a parting gift for attendees at one of Samsung's events, its limited availability and I see it selling for almost $200 on ebay. I'm wondering...is its worth that much?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
It's also a Bluetooth mic and speaker, multipurpose. I can see it being valued at $200. Worth that much is debatable.
117$ shipped
Original Note 2 S-Pen costs 32 euro in the Netherlands, available in white and grey.
This is for 10.1..i have the normal s pen with eraser for note 10.1 which i try to use it on note 2..i found when drawing or write something, its off set a little bit..i even try original S pen 10.1 in its slot..same result..off set..not convinient when writing something..idk if S pen with bluetooth is same off set..it looks like s pen for note 2 is different

I've seen on other sites that Samsung will most likely release this pen for purchase as well. The good packaging also leads me to believe this might be true. I like the idea of the bigger pen, but the phone call feature seems kind of pointless. 130 seems a bit high though... Also seems like sort of a burden unless there is a case you can store it in as well, otherwise just another component to bring with you.
Speaking on the topic of pens!
I have a couple all-white, axiotron pens from using it with my ASUS EP121 tablet. I noticed that they work in a similar fashion as the SPen does but one thing that they do that the SPen does not is an erase feature! I can flip around the pen and use the other side to erase what I have drawn but the SPen can't do that... I tried to use the link to find the pens that I bought but the link is not working anymore!
Just a heads up, that there are pens out there that can give you an easy 'erase' feature if you're using the device for a lot of drawing/sketching.

No. No notification features. I think I might have it already if it included those features.

For that amount of money it's NOT worth it to me.
I'd just get a regular BT headset and go hands free. and use the SPen built into my phone.
Just got one!
I just received mine! I'm currently in Europe, so I got it from Amazon Germany for about 55 Euros, which s still cheaper than the cheapest order possibility in the states.
Anyway, I bought it for my Note 10.1 3G, but since that has been borrowed by the GF, I just paired it with my Note 2. Paired fine, calls seem OK,
However, the S Pen part won't work on my Note 2 when my original S Pen is attached to the phone. Only when I remove my factory S Pen, then the BT S Pen works on the screen.
Anyone else have this problem? If yes, were you able to find a workaround?
I want to be able to use the BT S Pen without having to detach the original one - seems ridiculous that it won't work like this.

Will generic 10.1 cases work with nexus 10?
They might do, as it should be the same size width and length wise. The only thing would be the thinness
I doubt it, the Nexus looks more rounded an the edges. Like it's not rectangular, but a convex shape.

Would be awesome if it had a built-in kickstand like the Sir Face, that way I could just hook up a standard keyboard and mouse via micro-USB dongle (not a fan of those bluetooth keyboards/keyboard docks).
thans you...
I just ordered one of the generic leather case. Its made for the Galaxy note 10.1. I'll report back when or if i ever get my nexus 10. Might get the case first! The camera locations seems to be the same and the dimension are pretty similar.
I found this one, anyone ordered from this company before?

Gamepads for Note II

I enjoy playing old games on long abandoned Platforms and thats part of the reason i went for the Note II, with a strong processor and large Screen. But most of the Games the Touchcontrols are simply inadequate in my experience and so for a long time now i have been looking for a suitable Gamepad for my phone.
I prefer ones that hold the phone securely and keep it portable. I enjoy the iControlpad 2 quite a lot, but the release for people who didnt donate to Kickstarter is still a long time off and i was wondering, are there alternatives to it?
If possible with Dual Analog Nubs, Shoulder Buttons and such features?
Would love to hear your findings and oppinions!

The Gameklip should work, but i find it unnecessarily bulky and the Steelseries pad has no clip for the Note 2, which is sad, since it looks rather nice in all other aspects.

Im honestly looking for something smaller, more compact, not much chunkier than the phone itself.
But i guess the iControlpad 2 really is the only choice for me then.
Thanks to everyone anyway!

Easy there tiger.
A) This thread is a month old now
B) Have you ever seen a thread stay on topic?
C) >1% of the users of this phone really care about hdmi out. Just no real purpose other than the "oh that's cool factor"
The post I made gives it more than just a "charger" feature set. Which more than likely can be done with the holier-than-thou Smart Dock as well but you'd have to give up the audio port for it to work.

If the dock works, then it works. Not an issue unless it's going to cause damaged to the GN2.
For me, I see little benefit, if any at all, to use the dock compared to having a USB cord permanently attached to the PC and just connect the GN2 to it.
It's the official one.Just arrived yesterday.
It will not work with my case.

I ordered two, one for my Note2, one for my wifes SGS3. Kinda works for my wifes phone, with a hard case, but still kinda wobbly. Doesn't work on my note with any kind of case. Also, wobbly on any Samsung phone with a "rounded" end.
Avoid.
(and yes, they are an official Samsung product.)
