Over the years, my preferred method of addressing the wear/tear was not by using cases (which add bulk), but my simply getting a new phone housing when the old one gets too scratched up.
And it looks like OEM-like housing for HD mini are beginning to appear on the market, such as here.
Looks like HD mini housing is absolutely identical to Aria's. I'm going to stock up on one and give it a try.
Please let us know how this works out, I wonder if someone will sell just the back cover.

With most phones now having glass in the capacitive touch screens, I just don't see your extra housing providing much protection from a drop.
It's still a good idea though.

Indeed I'd be concerned about the screen in the case of a drop, but agreed its a good idea. Let us know how this works out, I'll have to keep it in mind if it does work on if/when my housing ever takes a beating
I bought 2 of these from ebay thinking the exact same thing. They were advertised for the HD mini as we all now know it is the arias winmo twin. When i received my housings I was very excited to try them on but ended up being very disappointed. The housing came with a few pieces of excess plastic from the manufacturing process which was no big deal. Next I noticed that there were no volume buttons, again not too big of a big deal as they can be carefully removed off the old case and hopefully attached to the new case. The absolute deal breaker was the fact that the Aria antenna IS the back cover, and this replacement did not include the antenna. I examined the original and I do not believe it is possible to remove the antenna and reattach it to a replacement. However this particular housing may be different, either way let us know what your results were.
check these out they look like oem with the htc

You're right -- none of the HD mini housings I see advertised on Ebay have the antenna contact leads on the inside

That's a case, what's being discussed here is the actual body of the phone
It's too bad about the mini's back cover not having the antenna contacts, hopefully true Aria accessories will start coming out and you can get your hands on a real housing for it
ya sorry about that , it was deceptive looking the first one i looked at had the logo and tri-screw holes. thought it was a replacement back cover
Hi all,
I am now a happy owner of the galaxy note!
Before I even got the Gnote, I ordered the S Pen Holder Kit from Amazon UK. I have just had it delivered today and have tried it.
I can happily say that writing now feels awesome, just like writing on paper. I have large hands and found using the stylus a bit uncomfortable to write with and with this new accessory, the problems have gone.
The holder kit comes with a spare S Pen and a holder which fits the small S Pen inside of it. It also has a button to use for gestures just like the small pen so you do not lose any functionality.
It cost me £30 which I thought was a bit steep however it does look well built and is very comfortable.
For those of you who do not want to pay that amount, if you have a spare Wacom pen that you may have already brought or one that came with a tablet PC/notebook, give it a shot because I have just tried one that came with my now 4 year old thinkpad notebook and it works!!! Even to the point where gestures can be used using the button on the Wacom pen, it writes just as smooth too, I think I may have blown £30.
looks really nice, i've seen some videos on youtube
thanks for sharing, could be a nice gift for the year end

My S-Pen has had issues from day one and I had to adjust the little proximity screw under the button of the S-Pen several times and well it messed up again and this time when I opened up the button lid the screw used for adjusting was broken off the board.
So, long story short I'm on my externship (internship) for a medical program and it's unpaid and several calls to Samsung to get a new one first before sending mine in just didn't work. I don't have money for a new one right now not even the cheap ones on eBay. Oh I can feel my BP rising just thinking about Samsung Customer Service!! They want to send me a package (how much are they paying in S/H plus the package alone would cover their cost mostly for the replacement) and then have me send in the S-pen, wait 1-2 weeks for them to detrime if it was my fault or not and then maybe they will send a new one if it wasn't my fault. Meanwhile I have a big ass hole at the bottom of my phone.
So is there any way to still use it as a Stylus because I used that dang thing 85% of the time and it's the reason I bought this phone. I like to keep the figerprints off and it's much quicker to Swype text w/ it now I can't stand typing or txting w/ my phone.
Please help! lol.
Thanks everyone.
Just sanwanted to bump this thread and see if there is anyway to use my s pen as a stylus at the very least.
It's beyond frustrating right now but I cannot afford another one nor should I have to buy another one so I'd love to use it.
Any help? ??
Try someone else S-Pen if it works proper just get a new one.
I know you say you have no money, maybe borrow $20 from a friend then Try Amazon
Less than $12.00 for a new S Pen. For a couple bucks more you can have a new one tomorrow.
Alot less hassle than trying to get a replacement from Samsung.
The s-pen probably won't work as a stylus, as touch isn't capacative. You'd be better off trying to get a replacement, or getting a cheap stylus with a capacative tip. They sell them at a lot of book stores.
Hello sorry if this has been asked before. I recently bought a refurbished note 10.1 2014 ed. from amazon. It works great but I can't seem to draw at all with it because the pen nib keeps pushing in when I draw. Is this not the official model? I compared pictures of my pen with the official one and it looks the same but I have to put so much effort into drawing just so that I can use the right amount of pressure to draw. I can't decide if I should return the note or complain to the seller...
As long as I'm at it I appreciate if anyone has advice for good cases or screen protectors for the 10.1 2014 ed. Thanks in advance
Sounds like the S- pen is damaged.
I agree with the above post, sounds like the s-pen is damaged. You can get a new one on amazon for like $5 US. Just do a search for "sm-p600 s-pen" (or sm-p601, 605 etc)
Does anyone know or have recently purchased a replacement S Pen? I've looked on Amazon and the only one that came across as genuine supposedly has no pressure sensitivity, and on Ebay it's the same seller. Everywhere else has either stopped selling them or they're out of stock. I have the full sized S Pen to hold me over but the offset is annoying.
I'm in the U.S. also
I got one from Ali. Works as original.

I've gone through quite a few of these third party replacents. Not one of them had pressure sensitive or replaceable nibs as the original. Contacting Samsung is a waste of time, as they prefer you to buy a new tablet when the pen dies.
Seriously, I went to an "offficial" parts website for Samaung S-PEN replacement. I couldn't even get a PART NUMBER from the site. IMHO, Samsung is leaving such sales in the hands of the very poor quality fakes selling all over.
I LIKE my Tablet. But the ONLY way I would buy another one with the S-Pen (which I love) is if the store I bought it from could prove that they could GET Spens, by sellingme a spare at the time! Samsung shuold maybe stop with the bajilion differnt models and SUPPORT the one time great products that they used to have.
Still want a working/not fake pen. ;-Deano
I feel your pain I caved in and bought a knock off on Amazon. It has pressure sensitivity but the nib is plastic and I feel like I'm scraping the screen everytime I write. It's the best we can get though :crying:

But I don't understand WHY Samsung actually REFUSES to let retail stores to carry them? They really seem to be pushing their owners support right out the door. It's not as if were so impossible to conceive of anybody losing a pen..
Who's writing THIS business plan...Trump? ;-Deano
I had the same problem. Tried to order an OEM from CompSource but turned out they were out of stock. Went for a knockoff. Its not bad, but its not good either. Sad that my Note is still very usable but the lack of a decent replacement stylus may force me to find something else.
If you like to use pressure sensitive s pen, you can purchase an s pen of note 3, note 4 or note 5 but of course they are not attachable to device because of their shape.
I lucked out and found the Wacom Bamboo Feel on eBay. Not cheap, but very sweet. AND it was made for this tablet!! ;-DeanoD
i did a quick search on 2 sites in uk handtec and hyper-direct and both have what appear to be original pens for the p600 and tabpro. There is no mention of pressure sensitivity but they are only £8.00 so i may pick one up to see. Since i also have the note 3 i can use that pen in a pinch but it might not be a bad idea to have a spare anyway.
I just did a Google Search and found a bunch of knock-offs, but eight genuine ones for the Note 10.1(2014) were there as well. The real McCoy isn't cheap, costing anywhere from $29 to $16. The reason Samsung doesn't market them is inventory. It costs them too much to have pens for a long out of production tablet laying around.
It looks like genuine replacement S-pens for the Note 2014 can be ordered from here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New...alaxy-Note-10-1-2014-Edition/32601677612.html
Not expensive, either, just $7.14.
Also, replacement S-pens are available on Amazon, in Canada and the USA.
Ebay is where I purchased mine - sealed bag - correct length of pen and replacement tips - which my original pen did not have. Very pleased. Cant post a link not enough posts. Seller was tech-24-2.
I also got the samsung Spen with Erasure from another dealer - used with a further 5 tips - that with my note4 means I have 15 spare tips - yipee a lifetime worth.
