Is anyone else interested in getting the 10.1 Note S-Pen for their Note?
Definitely. I do a fair bit of sketching and drawing on my note so a better bigger pen would be awesome

Why not just get the S-Pen (larger) adapter? It comes with a extra 5.3 Note Stylus, so at least if you loose the one in your phone you will have a spare.

does the adapter come with an eraser?
No... But the note 10.1 eraser works perfectly on the 5.3

Are you sure the 10.1 S Pen eraser will work on our 5.3 note? If so I will be investing in one of them for sure.

I use a Wacom pen with mine and the eraser works with it so I am also pretty sure that it will work with the 5.3
Now that we will have a choice between the pen holder or the 10.1 pen, i would definitely go for the 10.1 pen, reasons being:
1. Eraser
2. Thinner than the holder
3. The button on the new pen is higher up making it less likely for you to accidentally press it in use.
Found this for my white Note:
Wacom up710e

What material is the eraser made of?
Rubber....you have to rub for about an hour and nothing happens.....oh wait I was using an actual pencil just kidding. The "rubber" end is normally just plastic but just sends a different signal to the screen I believe

Yeah, this works perfectly, as does any stylus from the Lenovo x-series convertible tablets (NOT the one from the Thinkpad slate tablet, which is N-trig and not Wacom).
I just tried the samsung pen and it is not as good as expected. Its not crisp and quick. Writing with my finger is better. So the pen goes back to the maker.
It may have to do with the screen protector but I doubt it.

How did you expect it to work? It's not smart like the s-pen on the note. All it is meant to do is replace a finger.

I'm using one of those cheap stylus pens often bundled with cases and I found that it's better than my finger. Don't see the need for a c - pen know I know it's not an improvement

do you remember which one was that?
i thought id find the c-pen and memo usefull if i could write in a similar fashion as when taking notes on a paper. (well as close as it can get)
This is just Samsung cashing in on the popularity of S-Pen and charging 40 times the price of some capacitive pens with no better results.
You could tell by all of the pictures that the CPen is a gimmick. I was very disappointed when they didn't replicate the Note's SPen.

Well, it is has a 3mm tip according to the specs. This is much smaller than a capacitive stylus.
I don't understand why they would change what already works. Does it have a button like the Note stylus?

No. No buttons on it

C pen a big failure
The C-pen is a complete failure, its really bad, i expected it to be better than galaxy note as there is a lotta hype created for samsung galaxy s3. I was completely taken aback with its sad precision and smoothness.The way Samsung is going i thought they must have definitely improved the feel of thw cpen but it was not. this is a set back.

The Note is marketed to a specific segment, completely different from the Galaxy S line of phones. The Note uses a Wacom digitizer for the stylus that is much more precise, whereas the S3 uses a traditional capacitive pen because it isn't marketed to have the same kind of stylus functionality as the Note (and the Wacom digitizer does add a certain amount cost) - otherwise they'd include the stylus with the S3 the same way it's included with the Note.
Actually, the C-Pen is more than a regular capacitive stylus since it apparently doesn't work with other capacitive screens for some reason, but the principle is still the same. It's like wondering why your cell phone is missing the nice 10 inch screen from a tablet.

It is a step backwards. Sure the Note was a niche market, but they didn't skimp on the stylus for it. SMemo and SNote can't be the same with the CPen. IMO they should've stuck with the design even if it is an optional accessory. It adds more functionality.
Tapped
I just don't like the implication through omission of details Samsung are making that this is like the S Pen, I mean I just think they want to trick people to believing this can do the same job as S Pen because obviously it's got a similar name and they making no effort to explain it.

Adding the Wacom digitizer adds cost to the phone, so the phone would have cost more with it included. It makes sense to not include it when this is marketed to those wanting a regular phone, whereas those that are looking for specific stylus functionality can go to the Note.

I understand why they didn't offer the pen with the phone and why the Note would have one. Why they didn't make an SPen that is compatible is what I am wondering. Cost isn't an issue when sold as an accessory.

I tried this C-pen as well and it's a PoS.
Ironically, I've just taken delivery of a charging stand that comes with a free pen (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0080R6MW0/ref=oh_details_o03_s01_i00) and that one works better than the C-pen. (And it's an ink pen too!)
Couldn't make it up.
Hi all,
I stumbled across this the other day;
http://m.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/ET-S110EBEGXAR
The pic seems to be of the smaller n7000 version of the pen holder and seems unclear that it comes with both the holder and active stylus.
I would really like a larger pen. Does anyone have any additional info?

I have this one and would not recommend it. It is the original one they made when they first released the phone version of the Note. Although the pen makes a big difference to using the phones small S-pen, there is a button on the side of the holder that gets pressed unless you hold it a particular way and causes your writing flow to stop.
The way it works is that you place the small S-pen inside this holder which aligns itself with the button and then you just twist the holder into place. It does come with a spare S-pen, the one made for the original Note.
If you want a full sized pen, you should go for any Wacom pen enabled pens that also have the eraser on the end, the eraser works well with S-note and other apps that support the eraser function. It may also be a good idea to order different tips and depending on your preference, use the one that suits your usage patterns.
Do you have a link for one you recommend?

You can have a read through arjag's other thread to get recommendations, I have the one for the Lenovo x61t which works well however I have not yet tried other tips yet which I will do, the original ones,I tend to find are not as smooth as the one fitted on the new S-pen of the Note 10.1.

Thanks for the comments everyone.
I was really hoping that Samsung had actually released a pen holder kit that fitted and came with a n8000 replacement stylus.
As mentioned I my other thread, I am too disappointed in the performance of the Lenovo pen to use it.

Um, how would you write when you are on a call?
How about just using a BT headset as a BT headset and the pen as a pen?
This seems like a gimmick to me with few practical uses.
Hi,
I agree that the bt pen seems to be a gimmick too. After using a dual mic (dsp) headset there is no going back. I am very happy with my Plantronics Voyager Pro.
It really does seem there is no such thing as a "Galaxy Note 10.1" S Pen holder kit and Samsung are just trying to get rid of un sold ones.
I think this is a bit rude of Samsung!
Does anyone know where to get the propper replacement S Pen for the N80xx?
Edit: Scratch that, through samsung's site of course http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/ETC-S1G2BEGXAR
Hey there,
so I've been using some standard noname pen for some drawing apps along with my S3... but truth is I really hate it.
Its one of those with a pretty thick writing piece, it gives a feeling of not exactly knowing what you draw or what you are tapping onto.
So I was looking for another pen, a pen with a pretty slim tip, giving a more controled experience.
First thing i noticed is that there really aren't alot of those. The ones I've been looking at are made by samsung for their galaxy note and galaxy tab devices.
So here is the question: Are those pens basically compatible with the S3? Who can really give me assurance it will be working?
This is one of the pens I'm talking about: Samsung ETC-S1J9SE
This is the S3 pen with really really bad reviews (I really don't want to buy that one): Samsung ETC-S10CSEG (C pen)
Can someone provide info or suggest another pen?
Thanks in advance!
swent
PS: All I want is basic touch functionality, I know some of these pens have extra buttons or rubber features, I don't care for these extra functions.

Same here! I had a bamboo feel which had an offset. I've e-mailed bamboo to see which of their model's work but I haven't heard back yet. I'm wondering if the samsung one works well. I can't find it in any local stores though.

I tried the bamboo feel carbon model, there is a significant 2mm offset. I also tried a bamboo fell model for galaxy note, it has much less offset, but also a little bit.
I've been using a Microsoft Surface stylus without any issue. Please note I do not keep "show stylus" enabled on my Notes, but where the pen lands is where the pen draws, there is no offset with actually writing / drawing. The eraser also works. I figured I would give it a try once I heard Microsoft has a Wacom Digitizer.
Best price is surprisingly Best Buy http://www.bestbuy.com/site/pen-for...429707&skuId=8412048&st=surface pen&cp=1&lp=1 Amazon is quite a bit more http://www.amazon.com/Original-Micr...=1382232699&sr=1-2&keywords=surface+rt+stylus

Yea I'd probably also prefer the bamboo feel but the offset is too much. If the surface pen works as well as its reported to work then I'll be happy. I've been looking around for the Samsung s pen.

Everything works just as expected including the eraser, this is a stylus made for a Wacom Digitizer on the Surface Pro. I think it is the exact same pen as the Samsung one which is so hard to find. I keep the pointer disabled because I find it highly distracting.
Also I'm not a fan of the harder tip on the surface pen. It seems like you have to press harder on the screen for it to register.
I just bought the surface pen as the s-pen was giving me hand cramps for extended writing periods.
So far, the offset is quite noticeable with the cursor on and annoying when trying to draw pictures with. However for taking notes, I found it to be manageable especially with the cursor off. I'm going to stick with it until something better comes along or some way to calibrate it with root.
The harder tip is certainly preference. I'm enjoying it quite a bit as theres hardly any resistance from fingerprint smudges.
I picked up the Surface Pro pen as well. The offset is pretty large which may be how I'm holding it. If I hold it vertically it centers right up but as it tilts the offset increases.
