[i9000] Stylus - good for SGS?

I'm thinking of getting a stylus for my few days old SGS as I'm clumsy when using the keyboard.
Are those selling over at Amazon or ebay good for daily use?

You'd need a capacitive stylus, a normal one won't work with the SGS touchscreen

The best I have found are pogo sketch pen which are meant for capacitive touch screen.
Expensive but worth the price as the cheaper ones worn out soon & leave a mark on the screen. I tried 2 of the cheaper ones as that is what available in our local market.
You should be able to get these in your local Funan IT mall, else try the Chinese one, if you buy please post the review here so others can decide too.

just paid for one from ebay. should have it in a couple of days as its located in another state here in aus.

pen for SGS
don't be disappointed if the pen you ordered is bad. I have 3 of them (noname from ebay) and they're all awful! They just won't slip on the screen and they're like a hard piece of rubber. But recently I used a samsung stylus and it's great. I don't know if they have many models, that was a short one with a cap that could extend it's size.

Where did you buy the samsung stylus?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk

i found one in ebay

yes it looks like this
www.fommy.co.in/Samsung/Samsung-OEM-Stylus-with-Strap-P82275.htm
but the one I used extends by placing the cap at the back.

Back cover ( NOT cases )

Are there any metal like ones around? Something a little bit on the gentle side for signal. I would assume such things would be all over the place since so many want to tout / whine about the plastic back. However, I can't really find one that doesn't claim to be aluminum.

i think hes talking about a metal battery cover...
and i doubt that this will become a thing, btw. the reason it's removable is because it's plastic.

I linked metal battery door cover. From eBay description:
Package Included:1* Aluminium Metal Brushed Battery Door Back Cover Case Samsung Galaxy S4 IV I9500

I'm a fan of using skins instead of cases. I usually order from SkinIt.com
However, they don't seem to have anything for the S4... YET.

bodyguardz, skinomi, and armor shield have some up on amazon if you wanna get skins.

I live by skinomi. I've bought at least 7 skins from them. Here's my Relay, but I have the same on my 3ds, nexus 7 and S4

From where?

A company called strapcode. I purchased through their ebay store.

Picked it up yesterday. Going to have the band installed now.

very nice.

The band definitely is an upgrade over the black band but there is a slight color difference of the steel. You can only tell when really looking close at it.

It'd been about 10 days with the strap. All I can is that it feels like a real watch because of the weight. People have commented on how it looks good and the strap makes it look like a real watch. Definitely wasn't sure about the black band but happy about this strap purchase. I would recommend it to others who are thinking of switching out their strap.

very nice I know its quite old thread but can these still be bought on ebay? can anyone pm me a ebay link please?

http://m.ebay.com/itm?itemId=380467797551

I just got my first compliment that it looked like a very expensive watch. One person asked me if it was a Rolex... I laughed.

I've had this strap for 3 months now and all I can say is that it's a great strap. It gives it the look of a powerful and costly watch. I believe the strap is usually placed on Rolex and such. It is easy to clean, comfortable and gives a nice weight to the watch.
I also have a screen protect and let me tell you it saved me twice from a nasty scratch and healed itself. Amazing stuff. Got it at best buy.

broke the screen on mine and cant find a replacement anyone know where one can be bought please??

I got the brown cover with the brown tablet and think it looks good, but it's all personal preference.

Same here, I like the way the brown looks .

Which colour did you get?
I have ordered the brown one to go with my brown Galaxy Tab S 8.4 snapdragon 800
I too haven't seen them in the flesh although I've avoided the shops with it being the festive period & January sales.

Depends on
It depends little on the color of the tablet. For my white one I have the blue one, see pictures.

I'm happy with my charcoal cover with bronze tab. The only reason I got it was b/c it was half off. You can still get it at ATT website: http://www.att.com/cases/samsung-book-cover-samsung-galaxy-tab-s84.html#sku=sku7380249

Accessories Carbon case

Finally came the carbon (aramid) fiber case for the xiaomi 12. This looks to be made by the same manufacturer as the Oneplus one's.
Build quality and fit are top notch, same as my old OP 6 case.
Don't know if links are allowed, but bought it at aliexpress.

Nice case indeed. Looks like a little bit more special than my standard black cases. What did you pay for it?

I’m curious if it block the access of SIM card?

I paid 23€ for it delivered. Yeah they were normal black ones, but having had the same in the OP6 I wanted a little change hahahaha. Both look awesome imo.

Yeah, unfortunatelly. But being a dual sim, I don't find myself changing the sim cards regularly.
Thankfully it's pretty easy to remove and clip on. Also it protects the full body, unlike the OP ones, so that's a big plus for me. All the holes cut to perfection
Another big plus it's that it wont interfere with any screen protector, as it clips just to the frame. Now I'm looking for a good screen protector that covers all the glass. If anybody knows one, please let me know, I'll be very grateful.

I also ordered the cover, I'm still waiting. Please, is it magnetic? THX

Thanks for the hint.
Loved that case style also on my OP 6T.
Ordered one from aliexpress.

It's pure aramid fiber, so not likely.
