I want a stylus for drawing in the phone, anyone got any recommendations?

There are lots of capacitive styli out there...you'll find plenty of online reviews. The main differentiator (besides cost) seems to be how thick the tip is.

This is exactly my idea. I personally don't care for them, but I do have one for my larger iPad. I have one from BoxWave which I bought on Amazon for about $10. It's nice and sturdy and was only about $10.
Or make your own:

If you're planning on doing a lot of drawing with a stylus, can I go out on a limb and recommend a galaxy note instead? It's got an amazing wacom surface which makes using a stylus much much more precise and usable from what I've read.
Not major amounts but I'd like to be able to do some on my phone every now n then, acase have got one called acase freehand which looks quite good for drawing

All,
Hey is one of the first rugged type cases I've seen pop up. It has an avaliability range of 1-3 months so no clue when they will be avaliable but heres where you can track it:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004ZKP8JO/ref=aw_d_detail?pd=1&qid=1308686568&sr=8-8
And to get an idea about what it might look like (no pictures yet on Amazon.com) here is the link to the same type case for the Xoom:

I have one of those for my 7" Galaxy Tab, they're really nice!

I really wish they were avaliable now because although I can somewhat understand the desire to make the Tab look like a real portfolio with the somewhat common leather cases, I by far prefer the stress free approach to device protection (and I have young kids).
Anyway, hopefully that big range of availability at Amazon is overly conservative.
Can one by such conductive stylus and simulate Note usage? I know it's not the same but just thinking if I could write notes with it for example?

My dad has one for his desire so don't see why not

You won't get anywhere near the accuracy of the Note's EMR pen. But sure, you could do it.

It is possible to make a stylus with high accuracy. Just need the right materials.

I have not tried these but they supposedly work ok. I'm sure the accuracy is nothing like the one in the Galaxy Note though.
I have a few capacitive styluses that I use on my Asus Transformer. I bought them from ebay for a few pounds each and they work very well especially in graphic design apps such as Sketchbook Express.
Worthy addition to any capacitive screen.

Are they like the ones I posted? There are many different designs so some are probably crap while others are pretty good. Would you happen to have a photo of the one you think is best?

Ten One Design make some pretty good capacitive styli. I used their Pogo Sketch with my phone for a while and it was excellent - but drawing on a 3.7" phone just isn't any good so I gave it to my mother (who has an iPad 2.)
As for Deal Extreme, I tried one of these: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/aluminum-alloy-touchpad-stylus-pen-for-apple-ipad-ipad-2-black-57797, and it worked. It was pretty crappy though.
U can check out the adonit jot & jot pro (Check my sig)... in my opinion it's the best out there. Also theres the Writepad Stylus app for handwritten notes, also the best of the best!!!

I saw these stylus pens on amazon http://www.amazon.com/Capacitive-Cellphone-Motorola-BlackBerry-AMM0101US/dp/B0053NBLFW/ref=pd_cp_cps_1....looks like it works with different smartphones. It could become handy for doodling etc..
Anyone ever tried one before? Or could recommend a decent one? TIA
I bought a 6pack of capacitive stylus, they work on my et4g, evo, and kindle fire, and they work better than my finger. I use em for taking notes on my phones and drawing on the fire, or phone if I'm really bored while waiting for an appointment at work.

I bought the black one at Staples for $14.99.
Thanks for the info guys! Definitely gonna go buy one then...or a pack. I've been playing Draw something (addictive) game, and it's difficult to use your finger to draw anything.. Lol. Plus I think it's a good accessorie to have..

I only got the 6 pack cuz we got 5 androids in the house and a Samsung series 7 windows tablet so each device got it's own stylus and I have 2 with my kindle fire cuz one of the Androids is a note so its got its own super pimp s pen that thing is cool as hell, u cab draw/write with one side and erase with the other and it learns multiple styles so if more than one person uses it it will adjust to each persons style based off of small things like angle its held against the screen and pressure used to contact the screen, but that's wacom for you they have some seriously sophisticated touch pen technology, If the note/journal or something similar comes to sprint it may just be my first Lte device

Monoprice has those too for very cheap

be careful when using those when you write on an angle though, you can scratch your screen if you press too hard with the metal part
Does the Note's S Pen work with the Galaxy S3?
Nope, s-pen is an active digitizer. There isn't the same tech/hardware in the g3 as there is in the note
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Go on eBay and search Galaxy S3 stylist, and you can get one that works for the S3. The price range is $. 99 to $29.99. They have some almost identical to the Notes S pen, for one just like that you are looking at around $29.99

That same pen is cheaper on eBay though.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
There is nothing for the S3 that will be comparable to the S-pen on the note. The C-pen is decent, but it's not going to be as precise, or responsive as the S-pen.

Is the c pen more accurate than one of those ball tipped sylus pens? I have one of those and it writes very broad lines
Click to expand...

The c pen is definitely more accurate than the ball stylus pens due to the slim tip so you can actually see where you are writing. The only problem with the c pen is that it will occasionally not register as touching the screen.
I bought one because I take a lot of notes using S memo and I had an extra $20 bucks laying around lol. So if you can spare the cash I would reccomend it over the ball stylus pens but just know that it will only work for the s 3
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Either that or i'd just get an Adonit Jot stylus....
I just use one of the ones that have a rubber ball at the end.
C-pen didn't work out for me, because it's design a little bit fat. I guess, that's the only way to have stylus is to buy Galaxy Note Series . And also they have wacom grid, which can sense pressure.
good info

C pen is so expensive. How little are you really gonna be clicking? S3 doesn't have the special touch screen built in like the note so the pen gets bigger or smaller from how hard you press anyway. Any cheap stylus will work great. I got a laser, flashlight, chrome pen, and stylus in one for like 6 bucks at Monoprice. Works better than I dreamed.

lol oh man almost a year later, but here it is http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=112&cp_id=11201&cs_id=1120105&p_id=9719&seq=1&format=2
At least now I can give a mini review. It works great as a pen and I use it whenever I have to sign something. Stylus tip still works fine and always has no problem with responsiveness. Only thing that sucks is the flashlight and laser died fast. It's all chrome and black so it still looks nice, but I have no idea how to put a new battery in. I even called and asked them, but how they said to do it was still impossible.
Normally would post this in the "Member Found Deals" section, but since it's SGSIII specific, I decided to post it here for anyone that may be interested.

You know on Amazon these cases are cheaper. There is a thread in the accessories section with links and people discussing this case.
I bought mine for $25.00 off amazon with free 2 day shipping. Check it out.

Everything is cheaper on Amazon, you can buy toilet paper for cheap on that site lol. But ya that case seems over rated. Just a name brand. Though, I'd be all over a Nike case, haha.

The case is not at all overrated. Best case I've ever owned. Feels more secure than my seidio active case and adds less thickness. Good snug fit too.

Amazon and newegg are my go to places to shop online.
Anyway regarding the case I don't think it's overrated. It's really nice and has a unique aggressive design. It has a nice wow factor. When people see it for the first time they almost fall in love with it.
In terms of protection: if there is a bar with no protection, mid level protection and maximum protection, this case would be in mid level.
I recommend it to those ppl who don't drop their phone's too often. It doesn't add much bulk at all and still looks sleek and awesome.
If you tend to drop your phone a lot then move to the otterbox/ballistic level of cases.
