I have a spare S Pen with holder that I ordered from Amazon so I wouldn't have to remove the tablet one all the time to make notes. When I got it, I thought it wasn't working. Then I discovered that when the original pen is in the tablet, the pen functions are turned off. Is there any way to use a second s pen with the original still attached to the tablet? Thanks!

My s-pen from Note 5.3" works on the 10.1" with the pen in the dock. Maybe it's a pen option setting?

Hi,
I've bought an extra stylus for my N8005 (http://www.samsung.com/hk_en/consum.../accessories/ET-S200EBEGSTD?subsubtype=others)
However, when the orginal stylus is in, you cannot use the other stylus. It means, stylus is active only the stylus housing is empty. In this case you have to take care of the orginal one while using the other one.
My question; any way to disable this stylus housing check and use the extra stylus while the original one is in?
Setting > S-Pen > uncheck "Battery saving"
^^^ What he said
I've been running 2 S-Pens with mine almost since I got it. My case has a pen holder so I never remove the captive one from it's slot
Thanks guys, I wasn't aware this. It's working perfect...
has anybody tried a stylus out with this tablet? I am thinking of getting one to use for class, maybe this one...

Samsung Galaxy S3 Galaxy C-Pen Stylus Pen works with Tab S
The Samsung Galaxy S3 Galaxy C-Pen Stylus Pen works perfectly with the 8.4" Tab S. Though the product specs say it works only on S3, I tried it wit the Tab S and it just glided.
The pen looks premium with a metal body and a hard tip. The hard tip gives it a nice feel while writing as compared to the usual hollow rubber tips.

I can tell you do not get the Wacom Bamboo Fineline. Apparently in this case, when the box says it's for ipad, they mean it. It's bluetooth and it paired with the tablet, but even using one of the special apps that are made specially to work with wacom styli (Bamboo Paper), this didn't work any better than a $9 Targus slim 6mm. If you hold the pen exactly perpendicular, the tablet registers the point. If you hold the pen like a human being at an angle to the surface, the tablet registers a point 2 or 3 mm away from where the point touches the surface, in the direction that the pen leans. Garbage. So I have a Samsung C-pen coming in the mail from ebay. Probably the only time I'm glad I have relatives who own ipads. haha
Hi Guys,
does anyone know if the Note 3 stylus would work?
No the S-pen does not work at all. Yes I tried, I have a note2 and note3. S-pen requires special digitizer hardware behind the screen.

So I'm planning on getting the same pen I think?
ETCS10CSE Silver Spare C Pen Stylus ?
How has it been for you? Smooth? Accurate? Does it make any sound when gliding? leave any smudges, marks? Because going by the reviews on: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...&keywords=ETCS10CSE+Silver+Spare+C+Pen+Stylus
It has an equal amount of negative reviews of it saying pressing too hard or rubber tore off etc etc. So this can be completely unusable for some Samsung devices?

The thin tip does not allow for much give and also the tip does bend under slightest pressure. Thats why I prefer wider tip stylus. I have tested numerous pens, and the cheapest 1,- EUR thingies turned out to be as good as the most expensive ones, if not better. The Wacom Bamboo works nicely too, though it is a bit heavy for my likings.

I can't seem to find 'EUR' stylus, Wacom Bamboo I heard lots of negative reviews of it, its all mixed reviews actually lol.
I would love to find a case for my Tab S that's like my Touchpad case. Rubber but soft on the inside. Book cover. Full edge protection all the way around. Does one exist?

I use the Newfeel case for Tab 10.5. It is great for book view and holding in protrait mode.

Can you provide a link, please? Thanks!
Sorry, the link is below and it is called NewStyle
<code>http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LSTUEXA</code>
Been using this for a day now, aesome and very stylish.
Best part it doubles as a case, also has the android key functions on the keyboard.
Keyboard takes a little adjusting to a small but very good quality.
Was originally £80 but got it for £50 from Samsung online.

Love mine too in the titanium bronze that matches my Best Buy 32gb Tab S. Great combo. Had 3 iPads and like this as much or better.

I got a Bluetooth keyboard too. Pure white, low-profile, and quiet typing, I think it just got all great things a keyboard should. If it is paper-thin, paper-light, then I'm in heaven!
Got mine in Titanium bronze too, love it. Can't go without it anymore.
Can you please advise if the keyboard and tablet can connect together with the tablet screen facing up rather than the screen facing down onto Keys?
Or is it possible to use a hard case on the table with the keyboard?

It cannot close that way because the recessed part that the tablet hooks into is expecting a curve instead of the straight edge of the tablet face.
No...there is no way a case would work with this. It is very snug.
My observations are the case could use a couple of magnets to keep the tablet in the slot.
And I don't like that the keys are cupped, flat keys would allow more strike tolerance...
Otherwise it's a great case and definitely protect the device well...
PS... I agree with the question that it would be nice if the tablet snapped in facing up so make the case and tablet one piece when holding...
I swapped back to the book case but purely as I wasn't typing as much.
The case combo is so cool though.
Battery life lasts ages for me but I'm and infrequent user.

Do you think one can DIY? I think it can be done by using double-sided tape and a few strip of magnets. Tape a strip on the slot and one the bottom back side of the tablet. How about velcro tape? Something similar to iPad's smart cover.

The problem is it raises the tablet and makes it unstable. The magnet needs to be inside the case/keyboard to work right.
As it is it works fine on a flat surface like a table, the problem is using it on your lap or other places where tablets replace laptops...
I've all but stopped trying to type on the keyboard, the cupping on the keys makes it next to impossible to get used to... I got the Logitech keyboard to type on and just use this one as a hard shell case...
Does the keyboard work like a usb keyboard or you can only use it as bluetooth?

After using the S6 over the weekend a few times, I'm almost sure I will lose the pen unless I buy a case that covers it. While I like the idea of how it sits on the back of the tablet slightly indented they should have made the magnet the whole pen instead of just the pointer area. Its not strong enough to hold it in place from an accidental hand bump etc.
I have the keyboard cover on order (arriving Friday). I'm being extra cautious with the pen until that arrives. It doesn't take much of a bump to knock it off.

I agree that the method of stowing the stylus this year is terrible. On the other hand, in previous years the stylus couldn't be stowed at all, so in that sense, it's an improvement.
The keyboard cover, on the other hand, is a big improvement on the design of previous years. With that, the stylus can be very safely transported.
Duct tape fixes everything. Or for a more permanent solution, a little JB Weld and your S-Pen isn't going anywhere. Ever.
So i got my tab yesterday, at first Ithought the attachment wasn't bad, but then after using for the day Ihave to say Itoo am very dissapointed in the spen attachment. This is nearly as dangerous as the oriignal apple pencil pluggin into the bottom port of the ipad to charge. Do the people that design these things actually try to use them?

The Note phones somehow have enough room to store the S-Pen inside. Why can't they find the room on a 10" tablet? I know the pen is thicker but I think most people would trade a slightly thinner pen for a way to securely store it.
If you're actively using the device but not the pen it'll also stick to the lower right side of the device in portrait mode. Not a great solution, but I find it easier to have it there and not accidently knock it off like when it's on the back. It doesn't charge in this location, but that shouldn't be an issue since this pen uses a battery with longer life then the capacitor style like the Note 9 was. Or I just toss it on the table/couch/whatever near me if I'm at home or work. Within reach when I want it, but not going to fall off when I absentmindedly grab the tablet in the wrong way.
I'm waiting on my keyboard cover to arrive and then I don't think it being on the back will be a big deal anymore. Kind of sucks that's where it has to go to charge because I liked my case for my S3 that held it to the left of the screen in the hinge of the screen cover part basically. Sucks they've never made a more permanent solution, and this is the first time it actually has a storage spot, but so long as the devices get thinner and thinner I don't see them putting it inside like on the Notes since they want the tablet pens to be more ergonomically friendly.
I lost my S-Pen early in. One solution was using an Otterbox. The Tab could be secured to the tablet cover/stand, face-up, so the pen is secured.
In the interim, I am using a spare pen from a Fujitsu Lifebook tablet.

That's the one I bought. I like it very much.
Has anybody ever succeeded in buying a full-function replacement pen from Samsung? I tried to buy a spare one when I bought the Tab S6, but all I got was a glazed stare from the salesperson. Would be nice if Samsung at least tried to make up for the sucky magnet. ;-DeanoD

They're listed on Samsung's website:

Besides the gray, rose and blue are also available.
