Does anyone know of a stylus like the THINKPAD ONE?

does anyone know of a capacitance stylus like the one found on the ibm thinkpad?
i prefer this one more than using a fat round ball tip one like the ones found at bestbuy and on pogo stylus'.
and before anyone points out the obvious - this stylus is not capacitance; it is wacoms proprietary technology. the ibm thinkpad uses both capacitance and wacom as it's touch driver.

Im also interested in this one

Maybe the oStylus?
I have a big rubber tipped stylus and a ten one spongy tipped stylus, and I'm not happy with either. I would like to try the ostylus. Engadget said the biggest flaw is you have to be pretty accurate with the 'o', but if you drawing or something, it may be better than a sponge.
Engadget Review: engadget.com/2010/10/01/ostylus-capacitive-pen-review/
If anyone has one, I'd love to hear what you thought of it on a tablet.
As for trying to get a more pen like one, the wacom one is not the best, but it may be the best compromise. I suppose the hardest part is to get the amount of capacitance needed within the rubber or close enough to the screen for it to work.

I hear for the iPad and Android tablets this is the best.

Anyone has tried it on a Touchpad? I'm really interested in using one to take notes in class.

I've got the Bestbuy Rocketfish spongy ball stylus. It works a little better than your fingers, but not much. I'd love to find something more precise. The website says it works on all touch screens, so don't see why it would not work on a TP.

i heard you can make a stylus by putting some thermally conductive glue on the end of a stylus, like the glue used as a heatsync gel thing on cpu's and the such. I think you can get the heatsync at radioshack.

I found this one to be decent.

it works well with some of the Android apps.unfortunately there is not much on the TP side.

Stylus with a thin point?

Having trouble finding a stylus with a thin tip on it, all I can find are ones with the fat round tip. Trying to use a design program on tab and need precise selections with a stylus and the fat tips aren't cutting it.
Any input will be appreciated.

You might have a look at the Samsung stylus line; the tips appear to be smaller, though it might be their shape. The jot stylus uses a different type of nib altogether - worth ckecking out. And you might try an Amazon search for "brush stylus" and see what pops up. If, I'm not mistaken, capacitve styluses need to have big nibs to function properly. Mibs!

Thanks for that GB says, I'll look into and post back my findings. Thanks again for your input.

Take a look at the Adonit Jot. It has its own problems but it is the only capacitive stylus I have ever seen that doesn't use a fat, rubber tip. It is excellent for precise drawings.

Now just curious and I hope I'm not barging in on this but... Would a stylus with a thin point be better for use with screen protector? I have yet to find a stylus that claims it works fine with a screen protector
Let me edit this to be more clear: I'm trying to find a Stylus that works well with screen protectors. I have used a couple that my friends have but they all didn't work well. I want one that works well not crappy.

My bro is an art designer and he uses a Wacom stylus which has NO FRICTION, is capacitive and has a thiner point instead of all others
It's the WACOM BAMBOO STYLUS http://www.wacom.eu/index2.asp?pid=...utm_content=it&utm_campaign=bamboo_stylus_duo, check it out dude

Best one is that on my Galaxy Note if it only would work on other devices

I'd be curious what you think of the Jot. A review would be appreciated.
G.B. Says
And remember, talking dogs are liars.

From what I have found, the only type of stylus that will work with our tabs is a fat one or one with a conductive foam that mimics the finger. The thin smaller ones, like ones used for wacom tablets, use a different type of screen response altogether like the one found in the galaxy note or older palm pilots for example.
As far as working with a screen protector, it requires significantly more pressure and closer to a 90 or perpandicular angle for my griffin stylus to get picked up. Without the protector it works pretty well at most angles. This is only from personal experience with an armorsuit screen protector and a griffin stylus. I'm sure different combinations would produce varying results, but most likely similar to the point of frustration.
If you are looking to legitimately draw and illustrate I'd suggest sticking with a wacom. That's my preference at least.

I own the Jot and have used it on an iPad and an Asus Transformer. I also own an HP TM2 with a digitizer and a Wacom stylus. No capacitive only screen will be as acurate as a tablet with an active digitizer, such as my HP or a Galaxy Note. If you only have a capacitive screen the Jot differs in that it uses a small metal point surrounded by a clear plastic disc instead of a rubber tip, so it is much more precise than other capacitive styluses. However, although I haven't had problems, some people have had issues with the disc wearing out or have claimed that the tip scratched their screen. Just to be safe I only use it on gadgets with Gorilla glass. To sum up, for precise drawings its the best I've found for a capacitive screen, but if you plan on doing serious work get yourself a unit with an active digitizer - if you use a capacitive only screen like the iPad or 7 plus you're basically using finger paints.

Recommended bags for TF700

Hi,
i was looking to get a messenger style bag that would fit and protect my TF700 but couldn't find much information so i thought it would be a good idea to list the items that do fit it.
Personnaly after some online search i decided on STM's iPad Scout 2.
The bag is really thought for an iPad so the TF700 doesn't fit perfectly (see attached pictures), you might want to get the XS Scout 2 (for 11" laptops) if that's an issue for you, but i wanted a vertical bag (the XS holds the unit horizontally).
But i'm happy with it, the device fits with or without the dock and the bag is the perfect size for me (holds in addition to TF700 a kindle, small notepad, keys, pens and a few small items).
FYI the bag was 46.94 GBP with european shipping included, or $44 on amazon.com.

I own this bag Mobile Edge vertical messenger bag
I like it a lot. There's room for my 13" laptop and my TF700, plus a bunch of other stuff.

Another beautiful three - http://www.gojistyle.com/sleeves/102_inch.aspx and http://www.mobileedge.com/slimline-ultrabook-tablet-folding-tote.html and http://www.bonecollection.com/en/products/detail/ipag/
Yes, not exactly for TF700 but seems to fit the tablet + dock

I use, and really like the Case Crown Messenger Bag. 4.4 stars out of 53 reviews on Amazon. $32.19 with free prime shipping, a little expensive IMO but it fits very well (dock on/off or dock stowed separately and there's compartments to keep the tab and dock apart so nothing is getting scratched), has a few pockets for accessories and is well made. I've used a few messenger style bags and this is by far the best one I've found.

Hmm, new ebay seller with 0 feedback and this bag is $32.99 and coming from Hong Kong? The bag itself looks decent, but not worth it for the way slow shipping and risk...

I've been using this one by Targus. It's made for the iPad, but it fits my tablet with keyboard perfectly, and is a great little gadget bag.

I use a generic 10.1 inch tablet, inland, microfiber sleeve I got at fry's for 2 bucks on one of their sales. Anything can work really.

I'm pretty happy with this one. I had a laptop bag, but it heavy and bulky. In addition to being trim (thinner than it looks in the pictures, actually), this one has the most comfortable gel-filled strap ever.

I second the Targus Citygear bag. The infinity fits perfectly, and you have room for a legal pad, charger, pens, phone, etc. It's not so large that you may as well have a backpack or a full-size messenger bag, but it has ample space for everything I need, and has padding for protection. I picked mine up on amazon (prime eligible!) for $23.43.

Am using a small suitable for 7-10.2inc netbooks/tablets, its Case Logic VNA210 Black... (can't provide link becoz of insufficient posts, but Google is your friend )
I paid around 24 Dollar (+/- 20 Euro) and it easily can handle more then one tablet, or combination, tablet or tablet with dock or other stuff like external harddrive (in my case it holds a WD My Passport 500GB in the small front space) and there plenty of space left for other small stuff like extra SD cards etc....
kind regards,

:good: This one as well. Been using it for about 1.5 years now (got it with my XOOM in March, 2011). Perfect fit, travels well, plenty of pockets for phone, keys, etc.
It's my daily driver.

Thanks for posting this. Have you or anyone else looked at the STM Stash? http://www.stmbags.com.au/catalog/laptop-bags/stash-iPad/
I like the STM style and functionality but the closure on this Scout looks strained by the TF700 and I'm worried the velcro won't hold after a while.

A few questions from an overwhelmed geek girl

Hi everyone,
I just bought my new Galaxy Tab S 10.5 and now I'm on to buying accessories. I'm a bit sleep deprived from going down the internet rabbit hole reading reviews and such on the accessories I'm considering (among job stress - woot). I'm not trying to be a schmuck (I swear) by posting this I'm just trying to consolidate my thoughts and get quick input from you awesome people. If the post is deemed inappropriate please nicely message me and I'll delete it. I did try searching for keywords for brands/products before writing but I realize this product is newer so there aren't a million in depth reviews of a million products.
Mainly I bought this tablet because I'm going on a trip out of town and I need to be able to show off my portfolio (I'm a graphic designer) on a few agency interviews in 3 weeks in addition to entertaining myself at the airport and on mass transit on my trip. Otherwise I would have waited until it went on sale or xmas to be honest.
On a day to day basis I would like to do the following with this tablet:
- surf the web
- watch movies
- read
- do light word processing/office/email stuff
- sketch
What I plan on buying I tried to post links to everything but apparently I'm too new a user and had to remove them:
- a case
- screen protector
- bluetooth keyboard
- stylus
- micro sd card
Case:
For a case I'd love to have something very similar to what I currently use on my old Nook Tablet and love Speck FitFolio (speckproducts.com/tablets/nook/fitfolio-for-nook-hd.html) since it has some protection along the edges and closes shut. At the least I want to add some kind of decent edge protection along with a cover that stays close (with magnets, a band, etc). I don't want something as bulky as an otterbox (which doesn't make a case yet for this anyway) and I do want something that covers the front and back.
As far as cases go I've read a ton of reviews on here about the Samsung Book Cover and it seems that most people like it. My main concern is that there is no edge protection and the cost. I've also read about the Poetic Slimbook and that is more mixed but that at least offers some edge protection. Another one that I saw on Amazon and looked interesting is the RooCase Origami case. I'd love some thoughts from you all considering the specific goals for the case.
Screen protector:
I've always been afraid of wet application screen protectors but from the reviews I've read they seem pretty straight forward and perhaps a bit more awesome than the static cling types I've been using. I'm not dead set either way. The Zagg is the one I'm most familiar with but they aren't making one yet for this tablet it seems. The ones I've seen for the tablet are the ArmorSuit Military Shield and the Skinomi® TechSkin . A few others I read about on the XDA forum are the AmFilm and the iLLumiShield.
Bluetooth Keyboard:
Don't need anything fancy but I like that the 2 I've seen and like so far have a cover/case that can be manipulated into a stand.
- Logitech Tablet Keyboard
- Microsoft Wedge Mobile Keyboard
Stylus:
It seems the S Pen won't work on this tablet since it's not a Note series so I want something that's better than the chubby typical stylus I already have. I haven't messed around with these in a long time so it seems I need a capacitive stylus. I will have a screen protector on this so it needs to play nice with it.
I would like to do some drawing and the best app I've seen is the AutoDesk SketchBook app (yes I realize the iPad has so many more awesome drawing apps than Android but I felt for the amount of time I would be spending drawing vs the trade-offs of getting an iPad it wasn't worth it).
The Adonit Jot Pro seems to be popular but will it scratch my screen?
Then there are the other stylus with a thinner, more pen like point that I think I like, such as the Dart Precision Touch but I don't think I can shell out that much for something that isn't mandatory for me to function day to day and the Samsun C Pen but it seems that is getting mixed reviews.
Ok, that's my seriously long post. If you've read this much I salute you and will consider it a mitzvah so thank you!!

I have the Logitech BT keyboard. Although it works perfectly, you have to install batteries. And I always forget to turn it off when I finish, and the batteries are always drained next time I use it. The device needs to turn itself off after awhile. Maybe there is a way I'll have to look into it.
I also heard the Samsung pen for the galaxy S3 works perfectly.
And there's tons of cases and screen protectors on ebay. I'll be ordering the glass one soon from Asia.
Best tablet ever.

I mean the stand alone BT keyboard, not the attached case/keyboard that Logitech sells. Unfortunately they don't sell it for 8.4 inch tab.

Good point about the keyboard battery. The Microsoft one can shut off when you replace the cover but from quick googling it appears the Logitech one has to be shut off.
Do you mean the Samsung C-Pen? The reviews look mixed online so I was curious how other people liked it.

Apple_nut said:
Honestly, the C-Pen is terrible!!!!!!!
I picked up theDart Stylus by Precision Touch a few weeks ago and I have not stopped using this stylus. It has to be the best money I spent on an accessory in a while. Not only is the Dart cool to look at (People are always asking me about it in class) but it writes just like a regular pen and it really looks like my own handwriting.
Finally my notes are readable.
I think you will be really happy with the Dart stylus if you try it out. BTW, it's on sale for $59 right now too in case that helps.
you can pick it up at precisiontouch. com

Are you an advertiser? All three of your posts are about that stylus and where people can go to buy it.

Tempered Glass screen protector....a must in my opinion. Bit more costly but well worth it. Such as this.
As far as a case....I have this one for my 8.4 and love it. YMMV.

Regarding the cases between the Origami and Poetic slimline LifeHacker did a pretty unbiased review of a few including a few others that might help. Although they are for the Nexus 7, they should be relatively comparable on the features & specs for your Galaxy Tab S 10.5 tablet.
On some of the others I've checked out.
Screen protector you'll definitely want to go a 9H Tempered Glass for the protector. Checking specs for AmFilm and the iLLumiShield, I don't see a hardness level listed, so I can't really say if if it has max level scratch and abrasion resistance, nor for the Skinomi® TechSkin or ArmorSuit Military Shield. Of course the touch screen sensitivity definitely matters too. Even though through checking reviews, the iLLumiShield seems to be the most popular, so with that many happy people, it might be a good one to go with!
Bluetooth keyboard, the Anker® Bluetooth Ultra-Slim Keyboard for Galaxy Tabs seems to be a really decent seller, low in price and high in reviews, so this may also be something to check out.
Not really too familiar with stylus, so perhaps some others could chime in =)

I ended up going with the Skinomi Tech Glass - I've never dealt with these so hopefully I won't screw it up. A few people mentioned building a hinge with tape to help put it on (along with being in a steamy bathroom). If anyone else has any hints about applying this I'm all ears. I've put on screen protector films before but it is stressful. A few of the companies mentioned by you guys don't have protectors for the tab s yet since it's so new.

I have rapoo e6100 keyboard which works just great. Pairing is easy and there is no problem with reconnecting. Despite the fact it's mini keyboard, keys are large enough so typing is comfortable. I didin't want samsung case keyboard or logitech type-s keyboard, because i love samsung book cover and i use keyboard only when prepairing longer pieces of text. As for me set of samsung book cover and rapoo e6100 keyboard works great. I dont't want to change tab s into a bulky laptop...

Best stylus for the SM-T380?

Hello,
I just bought 2 days ago the Samsung galaxy tab A 8.0 (2017_ SM-T380 model.
It didn't come with any type of stylus and I read that it being the T series that the S-Pen wont work with it.
Does anyone know of a stylus I can use for it that's in some what of a comparison to the S-Pen?
I know they make these stylus I saw in Best Buy called the Bamboo stylus. I don't know much about them or if they even work with this model of tablet. I had found them in the section with all the iPad accessories.
Thank you

the 3m stylus seem to be pretty good.

I am using a pretty cheap fenix stylus being stored on a tragus 8 inch cover case I bought at target on I believe I bought black Friday 2019 it was pretty cheap. I am using the cilp on the stylus to keep it on the case. The tablet wont go to sleep if you close It and I had to cut one of the corners of the Gray part to make the Power and Volume buttons accessible. And the gray parts would pop off every once in a while.
