Cheap Chinese Knockoff S-Pen - Galaxy Note II Accessories

anyone try one? do they actually work and fit into the note 2? here's a listing on ebay. may try one just to find out. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Replacement-Stylus-Touch-Screen-Capacitive-Pen-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-2-N7100-/160994202968?rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D261%26meid%3D7524523028112639587%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D1088%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D321106736901%26
UPDATE 5/20/2013
so i just got this thing in the mail today from china. i was very skepticle about buying a knockoff but for the price i figured what the hell. anyways i cant tell tell difference between the one i got in the mail and the original. it even says samsung on it so i wouldnt be surprised if its actually OEM. it works perfect, the button works, and when i pull it out of my note 2 page buddy comes up. great deal for 6 bucks. i wanted a backup because i am so paranoid i will lose it and now i will order a couple more and throw them in the drawer with the original. highly recommend this s-pen.

I've got one from eforchina for $8 and I've send it back. It only acted as an eraser, I could not get it to write. It was also very slightly different from the original (a tiny bit longer, different button design, different colour). The quality was horrible and it was completly unusable. This was the first time I've actually returned something to China. I just did not want it lying around gathering dust.

I was gonna say just buy one from sammy but jeez they want $40 for the damn thing!

Get a 50% off code from Samsung by registering your device. Knocks it down to $20

Now I would pay $20 for a genuine replacement instead of going ring around the rosie with China.

If you are still under 1 year warranty get a free one from att.

Why would att give a free spen? I mean if it quit working sure but if he just lost it then not a chance.

Warranty.
The guy didn't say if he lost it or broke it. I stated clearly WARRANTY. I figured people will understand exactly what warranty means and entails.

I just ordered one from the Samsung website yesterday. $29.99 with 50% coupon made it only $14.99. So I decided to throw in the universal car mount too!
That was $24.99 after the coupon so my total was about $45 with shipping.

this thing is a winner. i will edit the OP with my update

what's the OEM?

my opinion, its a low quallity...

I got two of them. One doesn't work at all. The other only registers one level of sensitivity.

No... I would sell it for at least $200

I saw one of those on ebay starting 150$, mint in 200$. I want to buy one :3
If he's your best friend, just give it to him for free. If he's a good friend, $165 is a good price, I just bought one for that price. If he's a crappy friend, $180-$200 depends on the condition of the phone. I would only pay $200 for a Nexus S if it has original box, accessories, and at least 9/10 condition though. Just make sure its a one time payment only.

Buy from XDA or Swappa, avoid ebay for used phones if you can unless there are lots of photos and a detailed description, speaking from experience here.
I snagged one up on ebay for 120 they have been going for less nowa days. 150 wouldn't be bad..
That is a bit low for a good quality GSM version, I can understand the Sprint version being that low.

Really I love this phone but I just picked one up for $75 on Craig'slist. Its my second nexus s4g because my last ones power button died. But let's be honest the hardware is being pushed to its limit and for the same $165 with some searching you could find a galaxy nexus. Like I said I love this phone and wouldn't trade it for anything but the price is kinda high.

I think you should give him this at 165$ because he will feel glad and There's noot mych Difference between 165$ and 200$.Business with the whole world but not with your Friends...So Give him this at 165$ and he would get happy Too.Now all Depends On You.
i think 165$ is fine, in my country the used nexus s (97-98%) with box and accessories is only 150$ because it's m200s :good:
i think that 165 $ are a good price! in Italy Nexus S is sell at 179€
Good is good...but with 80$ plus you can find the Galaxy Nexus so if you have to sell it 165$ is a good price
I plaid $40 for mine, 2 weeks old from my friend, just the phone though.

You guys are all completely INSANE asking $150+ for a nexus s!!! You can easily find them on ebay for $60....they are a dime a dozen. Anyone who pays that much for a phone that's two generations old (and beyond EOL) should be b!tch slapped to oblivion.

The CDMA (Sprint) version is way cheap, but the GSM is easily $150. I just spent the last couple weeks shopping for one and, yes, the bidding IS ruthless. You will be VERY hard pressed to find a good condition GSm Nexus S for less than $150. It's not impossible, but you would have to have the cash on hand and be very patient.
What you will not find, though, is even a Sprint version for $60. Well, not one that works anyways.

I bought my NS4G used in good condition (insignificant scratches on screen, with a protector on, invisible) for 85 with free shipping. Most NS4Gs go for about 85-95 on ebay. I wouldn't pay more than 100 for one in excellent condition.

Just give up, lol.
Bottom line:
4G > Cheap. Nobody wants CDMA phones
GSM > Not cheap. Nexus S still selling very well as decent replacements
Even similar phones, Galaxy S for instance, will share similar pricing.

My questions are: i ordered the charging stand And spare battery and it said it was on back order and that i would be emailed with information on completing the transaction when it becomes available in 14 days. I was not offered any place to enter code. So is there a chance the code will expire and i will get stuck with full price? Did you order anything that is on back order and were you able to enter the code?

On backorder. I put me in queue. Then I use the 50% code. I think it's acceptable for approx $50.
If the code won't work for this, I'm not buying it for $100.

Zagg Flex Keyboard/Stand

Heres a great deal I found on the Zagg Flex Keyboard/Stand. It costs 79.99 on their site. Sometime for 69.99 when on sale. Amazon has it for 57.28 on their site. But heres the real deal:
http://www.all4cellular.com/product/zagg-zaggkeys-flex-bluetooth-keyboard-bulk.html
ONLY 34.99 while supplies last because of overstock. If you look at the value this was a deal breaker I could not pass up. I paid 2$ sipping so my total was 36.99. If you look at the reviews the build quality and features are top notch. I'll use this for the keyboard and continue using my 10" Belkin neoprene case for transporting the tablet until the smartcover officially from Samsung (Still Hopeful) drops.
Good luck for those of you interested in a keyboard.
Heres a link to their commercial:

Wow. This is a steal. If I didn't have one already, I'd get one. I bought one at 80, and I don't regret it, thought I wouldn't have minded to save a bit of money.
This keyboard is amazing and works almost perfectly out of the box. But when you combine this keyboard with this app, you will actually want to use your N10 for productivity. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apedroid.hwkeyboardhelper

Yes, but that's an issue with all bluetooth keyboards and 4.2. Had nothing to do with zagg
Nice find! Just paid $31.16 for mine and I can't wait! :good:
I picked one up at Target, and while it performed well it just felt exceedingly cheap to me. The plastic case didn't have any structure to it and warped easily unless I was using it on a desk. Typing with they keyboard balanced on the arm of the sofa (for example) just didn't work for me. It has since been returned and I'm looking into other keyboard options.
Thanks for the find. Just ordered and was able to use the 20% off promo code someone else posted.

Is anyone trying to order from overseas and having problems? Sometimes the site shows a shipping quote, sometimes it wont, it doesnt except my credit card and when i use paypal, it doesnt add any shipping costs.
All in all it would be a great deal, even with the $30 shipping costs, it's still almost half the price of what i pay in europe.

Best Buy Reviews

..
"4 out of 42 found this review helpful."
I can't relate to most of it and seems most others can't either. The storage issue is understandable, but I though Samsung was going to address this in a future update.
And I don't understand giving it "1" in all other categories for one failure.

To me it looks like HTC fanboys are overwhelming the s4 reviews. Most of the 1 star ratings recommend the HTC One.
I used to be an HTC fan boy, but their apple approach and gs4 converted me.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2
Those are crap reviews. They aren't based on anything other than the storage. Just htc fan boys. They don't seem to mention that the One has no expandable memory. No removable battery. An aluminum body that will easily get messed up. I've always liked htc products, all my prior phones were htc. However, the lack of sd card and removable battery killed it for me. The One that my Co worker has is already all scratched up and scuffed from being in his pocket. Does anyone know how much storage is available on the One?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2
I had the One before I got the s4. The expandable storage didn't bother me at all, and had tons more compared to the s4. Was really shocked to see how little storage there is. But an sd easily takes care of the issue. I don't have many apps anyways. Personally just need storage for music and backups/ROMs.
The phone looked great as well, but a 3" drop really messed it up. Also the vibrator inside was loose and would rattle, and almost none of the trim pieces lined up, including the screen.
If the phone was built better, I might have kept it even though I was never able to successfully stream a YouTube video on the mobile network cause the signal was to crappy.
So far, glad to be back in Samsung.

I stopped going to best buy back in 2007 let alone reading any review from them. Go and ask Geek Squad to fix your next broken PC and you'll see what I mean... I'd rather buy my electronics from a crook on the street than walk into any Best Buy.
The only reason to buy from best buy is their warranty
Other than that they seem very biased
Yeah....anytime I see 3 similar negative reviews and all 3 of them recommending the same alternative product (HTC One), all credibility flies out the window.

Ebay selling for $199

Good or bad? Probably means the GG 2 is coming soon. Could get some more devs to jump in here also.
That's a good deal yo.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
I think because Samsung dropped the price in India to $250. Even best buy has it at $250 now. I'm waiting for it to hit $200 from a regular store before I jump in.
I bought 2 at that price in December from eBay. I don't regret it at all.
I know myself, if I didn't have one already, i would definitely bite on that one. I mean, that kinda kills my resale value although i only paid $240. My other thought is that every time I see a decent size price drop on Galaxy products, it's because the next version is coming out soon.
I went to Craigslist and got mine for 190. But I also made sure it connected and asked the guy if he rooted it and flashed it. He told me it was stock and he had to Google root and flash so I knew it was a good buy!!! And I was gonna wait for the next generation also but these thoughts came to mind. 1 how much will the Gear 2 cost if the Gear was 300 (Sales werent great but good enough to make a gear2) 2. I don't wear watches so trying one out wouldn't hurt (forget I'm wearing it sometimes) 3. After seeing people flash it updates already the Gear will be just as good as the Gear 2 except for hardware. Unless they add a sim chip like the omate then I'd swoop it oh and front facing camera so I can video chat. Sorry for the long post.

I bought two for $320 off Kijiji, and then sold one for $180, making my Gear only $140. Decent deal.
You can probably get it off Kijiji or CL for $180.
