Hi everyone!
I've been reading these forums for quite a while, which got me to buy the TyTN II! I absolutely love it!
Now I've search quit a bit and haven't found anything really relevent.
I was searching for some kind of good quality multifunction pen that's good/precise enough for the TyTN II.
Now I know I don't want to spend a 100$ on this, but I've saw several in the 25$ which seems okay but not that much of a good quality (tell me here if I'm wrong).
Like these:
http://www.overlayplus.com/CA/multipen.asp?pid=1458&prod_type=pen
or
http://www.expansys.ca/d.aspx?i=151168
Now these seems fine especially the one on expansys as it has pencil.
I don't really care if it has laser or not, I need to be able to write with it and use it a a stylus
Any suggestion would be more than welcomed!
(Suggestions where they can ship to canada of course eheh)
Thanks a LOT!
Long life to TyTN II
oh man, shop around.
I got a really inexpensive one at Fry's for $5.99.
They also had the $35 variety, but all I was really looking for was a larger stylus since I have huge banana hands.

Hmmm weird can't find anything even with the item number was it on staples.com or .ca ? even why I type quatrex? :|
I'm a fan of fisher space pen.. for the fact that I like to have it with me all the time. When it closed, it is like.. er.. 2/3 of normal pen length.. and the catridge itself.. suppose to be .. space tech. So far (1+ years now) it's still pretty good. Most £5 pen would have spilled on my pocket now. Anyway, they have this spacepen with stylus too
http://www.spacepen.com/Public/Products/BulletPen/Stylus/index.cfm?productID=74
good consideration. The official page is selling it at.. £10 for the basic one.. but I tend to get cheaper options from eBay.
UPDATE: Oops.. just notice.. you seems to want everything. Hmm.. the bulletspace pen may not be your tea. They have multi func pens too. Look around their webpage.

I know its odd. I've never seen them on the site either. I've only ever seen them in the physical stores on the shelf with all the other writing pens. And whats funny about it is its a Staples brand name item.

I've been using that one for 4 years now. It can be had just about anywhere. But I likes the one mentioned in the OP. I might have to get one of those, or see what Fry's has to offer.
I have the first one you listed in the OP, this one:
http://www.overlayplus.com/CA/multipen.asp?pid=1458&prod_type=pen
Got it as a company gift, and have no complaints. My dog likes it too, he chases the laser pointer around the floor.
Parker just came out with a multipen. I just received mine from Fountain Pen hospital. Its good looking and has a great hand feel. The pen has Black, Red ball pens, .5mm pencil and pda tip.

A Seidio representative told me they would have a 3in1 stylus available soon...stylus/pen that fits in the phone. I had the same product from them in my 6700/Apache so I look forward to getting the new model as soon as they're released.
I recently lost my stylus, at a park I think. I put the pen in my pocket instead of putting it back in my phone. That was a dumb mistake
Does anyone have a suggestion on where to buy a replacement stylus from?
Seems the price can range from 5 for $8($1.60 per Stylus) to 3 for $20($6.70 per Stylus). Is there any advantage to buying the more expensive ones or are the cheap ones just as good?
I couldn't find a thread that addressed this issue, if I missed it a re-direct would be appreciated
I've bought my replacements for my tilt at eforcity
http://www.eforcity.com/metal-stylu...-ii-chtc4550st02.html?int=efsechtxtrigos-item
they do a lot of business on ebay and carry a whole range of other stuff too. They also give you a $5 coupon for your next purchase for giving a review on reseller ratings
but there are many other sellers out there, i've seen no difference in the quality of the stylus, though I did have problems with a Nintendo DS stylus I bought from a Chinese vendor once. but then again 90% of this kind of stuff comes from china.
I am also in need of a replacement stylus, i lost my original one, the replacement i purchased seems to have a rougher tip than the original, i'm afraid it will scratch the screen.
I've seen them before in a Best Buy store, look around the phone accessories, or, if all else fails, ask someone.
Thanks for the replies.
I ordered some off ebay. 3 for $7. Seem decent enough. Weight a little more than the originals, which I think is a good thing.
All I have to do is hope the pens don't explode now
Looks Like a Good Buy, the only thing you might have to worry about is 1) the ink leaks out into the phone( i don't think the kaiser battery would generate enough heat), 2) losing the cap for the pen since it is the snap of type, can remember where i got mine from , it actually screws off first time i ever tried to use the pen side(lol). just mentioned eforcity since i bought all my cases and stuff from them, guess i didn't buy my stylus from them since they have the same type with the snap off. they sell some strange stuff at notebook.egde, i might pick up the 15 pc screwdriver set for 4.99, gotta replace the buttons on my tilt.
Me too. lost 2 stylus and now after using new finger friendly ROM since few months I dont feel need of stylus.
Unlosable stylus
Instead of getting a "stick" stylus, why not get a object that acts like a stylus? sounds like a funny riddle, but when you own one, the stick styluses do seem funny.
look at the link provided

Have a look on marketplace
some users are selling parts

Hi folks,
I'm leaning towards getting myself a HD Mini now. I've read enough about my other two choices of Legend & Desire to know that the battery life I can get from the Mini will be much more to my taste.
So, firstly is there an extended life battery for the Mini that anyone can recommend. to try to get even more power (I know it seems weird as i've made my choice but no harm in checking) - obviously one that's the same size and doesnt need an extended cover?
And what do you guys use for screen protection. I know there are loads of plastic protectors to cover the screen but they all seem cheap and tacky. I did originally have an iPhone and the one I bought from the Apple Store was amazing. Very thin and flexible. Any thoughts?
Thanks very much
Ian
ps... i'm in the UK

brando's screen-protectors are amazing!
I've got one of the O2 own-brand screen protectors on mine. Had one on my XDA Zest for months with no problems.
I have 2 screen protectors,very nice and like original but just let me how i can send it to you...
I have got the HTC screen protector, which works great, but does seem to keep trying to come unstuck on some edges.
The two smart phones I've had, which are Xperia Play and S, both came with a factory fitted one, plus a spare.
As a result, if this really doesn't have one, what is the best protector to get? I could get a cheap one on ebay, but I can't imagine it being very good.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6x-screen...ting_LaptopAccessories_RL&hash=item51a3816b57
This is what I found, while not even looking for cheapness. It's just the first one I came across. I assume this is a bad one?

There are lots of companies out there. You'll want to check the Accessories board. There's actually a poll comparing a few of the top choices available.
Hi All
Could you advise on MicroSD support on Asus Smart? what is maximum capacity you have been succesfully using?
Ausu mentioned MiniSDXC up to 32GB but on some reviews I read that 64 are supported as well, on others that there were some issues with it..
What cards and what capacity you can recommended as working without issue?
What do you think about this sandisk?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-SDS...KM30/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1360367319&sr=8-1
I use a Sandisk micro sdxc 64GB (same as the one you linked) and it works fine. Also worked with Surface RT. It's fast enough for 1080p video which is all that matters to me, I don't use it for programs.
Thank you for your answer. I have ordered this sandisk as well. Now one last thing to find the case. Otherwise all is ready and waiting for ME400 delivery. Can't wait

Case is the one thing I have not found. Amazon have the BlueRex for $15 but no picture yet and no ETA.
I've had my Vivotab Smart ME400C for a couple of weeks now. Lovin it.
DEFINITELY glad I did not go with an RT device. IMO, if you're going to go RT, might as well get an Android tablet.
From what I can see, the form factor is nearly identical to the Vivotab RT. So I shopped (my wife actually) for a case that is compatible with the RT. Seems that searching on Amazon also brings up results that reflect that the RT is compatible with the Transformer? Haven't looked in to it.
Judging by the images (I know they can be deceiving), it looks like the case should fit the ME400. Case also rotates.
The case also comes with a neoprene carrying pouch.
Hopefully, it will arrive in less than a week. Also ordered a matte screen/anti glare screen protector. These two items for less than $30 + $7 or so for shipping.
I've also ordered a 64GB Micro SDXC Sandisk memory card and OTG cable.
Asus seems somewhat inconsistent. SOME of their sites (various countries) show just SDHC and some show SDHC (SDXC compatible memory cards). And from what I've read here, I'm going to go with SDXC works for our ME400. (Crossing my fingers!)
Keep y'all posted on the stuff I've ordered.
Here are links to the items I've ordered for your reference/opinions/input.

My experience with those 360 degree cases are not pleasant. That one could be different but it looks identical to the one I got for my Nexus 7. It was very cheaply made, and the rotation was simply a button-clip design so I could spin it in a circle continuously if I wanted. Stability when it was in portrait was not strong. It would slowly start to bend backwards due to the flimsiness of the case.
I've ordered a few of the matte protectors from ebay that were for the RT Vivo. The only major difference I can see is the ME400 is ~1mm thicker than the RT version. Not sure how much that would affect cases for it. Some maybe, other's not.

I know what you mean. I've played around with a few cases from those kiosks in shopping malls. Not really thrilled with the build quality, I agree. I'm not expecting the best for sure. However, considering I have dropped my ME400 twice already (low level), but has chipped the outer bezel on both corners (one corner per drop, lol), I need to get something asap.
The thickness...well with the ME400 being slightly thicker, I'm hoping it just makes for a tighter fit.
I just hope the screen protector has the proper areas exposed, ie camera, light sensor etc. Don't want to do a hackjob on the screen protector.
Hi Guys
I got myself this one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B007SGV26U/ref=aw_d_var_2nd_clothing_img?vs=1
And I am really surprised by its quality. It fits perfectly and provides quite good level of protection. It's rather stiff and has those jelly bubbles inside.
Still will be looking for portfolio case.
In this matter I am waiting for MoKo case which is already available in US but still not in UK.
It looks quite nice.
Unless somebody is willing to buy me one off US amazon page and sell it to me on eBay
Ordered a folio style case that is for the Vivotab RT from amazon. Other than 1mm thickness difference, they are identical. Will let you know when it arrives how it fits.
Amazon tracking has told me my Sandisk Micro SDXC 64GB card has been delivered.
2 more hours of work to go before I can trek home and plug this baby in.
Crossing my fingers!
It's working just fine I have been using sandisk 64gb for a while without any problems.

Throughly enjoying the 64GB SDXC. I was worried because the Asus site was a little flakey in terms of information. Some of their sites show just SDHC, some sites show SDHC (SDXC compatible).
Now...just waiting for my cheap aftermarket case, anti-glare screen protector and OTG cable.:good:

Hi guys
I have received this case and I will describe it in one word AVOID!!!!!
This is scam, this case is for some device but for sure not for ME400C. Additionally I saw a cow in my life and I don't remember it to be made of cheap plastic. Or I don't know how leather looks like.
Just to summarise I am sending it back, quality is a joke, windows button is covered same as ambient light sensor and volume down rocker.
I have attached some photos below
Probably best off with just getting the official case from ASUS
Looks more like a case for the Transformer TF600. That might explain the extra cutouts and the covering of the windows button?
This is what I thought. Still if you are in need for a case you cad go for TF600 cases if you don't mind few things not be perfectly in line. Side wise those two devices are almost same.

Same here, should arrive next week. Will post results.
Vivotab RT Screen protector arrived, which I ordered for my Smart. Dimension wise it fits, camera hole is a little off centre, so I had to do a little hackjob. for $5 and change, free shipping, no harm done. Will order an official one from Zagg probably soon.
I've already dropped my Smart twice. Top left and right corners of the bezel are already chipped. Thus I need my case (even if it's not 100% the right one) asap, and is also why I opted to get the RT screen protector for the time being.
Got mine in. The Greatshield case is nice but it does cover the volume down button slightly. Since it is for vivotab RT, I wasn't expecting a perfect fit. The light sensor is almost covered as well. It can't go into the lower stand case, it can only do the high stand style. There is no smart cover-style feature on the vivotab smart so the magnets don't put it in sleep mode. Overall, a nicely built case.
