[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.

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.

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??

Car Holder

Recently, my brother bought a Samsung Galaxy S6, need a car holder when driving. Could you share some experience?

Try this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/accessories/car-mount-recommendations-t3079441
Lots of recommendations and discussion.

Thank you! will go

I went with a cup holder dock. I know it doesn't work for everyone but I found that in my 15 Sierra it is perfect.

Careful with that one. It might damage your dash. I would use the extra gel pad on top of the pre-installed one. I saw pics of it on the amazon review.

Thanks for the advice Jhong209

I got it from here

I bought this one on Touch of Modern:
www.amazon.com/Tackform-Solutions-Ultra-Universal-Phone/dp/B00P87QIZ6
I have a small car with no great place to put a normal windshield mount without blocking my view, but this one is perfect for what I need.
It's a little flimsy on the CD slot on my car, but it won't go anywhere. It may be better on yours.
I also have something like this one:
http://www.amazon.com/iOttie-Windshield-Dashboard-One-Retail-Packaging-Black/dp/B007FHX9OK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1434476700&sr=8-1&keywords=iottie+windshield+phone+mount

Moto E 2nd gen Alternative bumpers [REVIEW]

As we all know the new Moto E has replaceable bumpers that can come in the device's colour or in a pre-set of colours from motorola, but if you don't want to spend 20 bucks on a bumper that just gives a new look to your phone I've found a pretty neat alternative at a real cheap price, I've just received mine (in blue and in green) and so far I have nothing to point, except that it does feel a bit cheap, because it is cheap, the buttons are a little hard on press in the beginning and I feel like I have to be more careful taking the bumper of the phone that with the stock bumper, besides that the bumper is very neat and has a few more colours than the ones Motorola offer.
So if you are interested in new bumpers for your Moto E here is the link where I bought mine
