[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.

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??

That's a great looking strap, very nice.

S-View Classic Edition?

So, does anyone have any idea why the S-View Classic Edition covers are available on Samsung's UK website, but not on the US one? I picked up one of the regular S-View covers when I bought my phone but I really think I'd prefer the classic edition, I don't like the "pillow" effect on the regular covers, I think the plain flat cover looks way better. I've found them on other sites, but I'd really love to get that 50% discount by ordering from Samsung, not to mention it just seems weird that they'd have them in the UK but not the US. Anyone have any thoughts?

Yup, the padded s-view case looks totally crap... I can't find the Classic anywhere for sale except ebay (korea)

Is there a version of the classic edition with built in wireless charging?

[Q] Gear S3 Classic or Frontier?

I am thinking about getting the Gear S3 (T-Mobile, if anyone cares)
I have a question I am hoping someone can tell me -
Is there any durability difference between the Classic or Frontier?
I'd hate to pick up the Frontier and find out the black finish scratches or chips off easily.
Also, are there any other considerations between the two I should take note of?
thanks!

I did have to get a new watch band (got leather one) but that was because our prissy cat decided to chew the end off my stock strap while I was asleep

LOL that's great (I mean, sucks, but you made me laugh)
From what I understand it's easy to find bands because it's a standard band to begin with, correct?

I noticed the leather band width stays within the frame sides. The stock strap widened and lined up with the frame sides. Here's a close side pic. Mich prefer the leather though. Band was $20 I believe on Ebay.

Also we went on A hike yesterday - love the heart rate it records on the trail. Use it on bike rides as well so heart rate is saved. Still have my.8+ on the bike to easily view route
