and a screen protector from this ebay seller:http://stores.ebay.ca/SkyTechStore
Great quality products, the silicone skin reminds me of the one I purchased from Blackberry when I had my BOLD, shipping was fast and very good value for the $$$. The skin doesn't add any bulkiness on the phone.
Both accessories were manufactured by LUXMO- Luxury Mobile
Would recommend.

Igot the same skin....I paid 5.99 for it and 2 bucks for shiping. I was pleasantly surprised when i saw it was the exact same one as the ones for sale on Treo Central....right down to the little x logo on the back bottom corner.
They want 14.99 for it there.......

How long have you had yours?
I got mine off eBay about 1 month ago. After a couple weeks it had gotten some pretty bad scratches in it. I just switched to Invisable Sheild but am even less happy with that
*sigh*

I've had it a week or so.....what do you mean scratches on the phone itself inside from the case rubbing or scratches in the rubber/silicone case?
I thought about the fact that dirt and grit can get in and under the rubber pretty easy and am thinking of a different type of case now.....

Sorry I wasn't clear. I was meaning the screen protector has several scratches. I have never had a screen protector scratch to easy.

I do not have a screen protector on the Pro yet....Im trying to use the navigation buttons as much as possible and im trying to get away from using the stylus.
One thing I do with my PDA's that i learned from a friend is to take the tip of the stylus and rub it against your cheek. Since its such a sensitive spot you'll feel any sharp edge or points that could cause damage.
My treo's in the past were no problems but this tip seems a bit cheaper and seemed to have a mold edge on it that i lighting sanded down.
They all might not be like mine but yours could have a bit of a rough edge.....

Either you got a deal or a special sale -- I saw that $5.99 price, too. It had gone up to $11.50 by the next week. But still cheaper than TreoCentral.

Some pics to see how it looks!!!

Question for pen user. Durability?

Anyone noticing a difference in their pen durability from the Note 2?
I have had my Note3 for about a month now and I use my pen a few times a week but already noticed the tip is taking some wear. I do not think it will make it past 6 months..

I still have the note 2 but I prefer this pen on the 3 more.
I haven't noticed the durability taking a hit yet so far it seems fine. I use mine regularly as well.

They do give you a pack of replacement tips in the box.

I use mine quit often and still seems to be doing fine. I prefer my note 2 pen over the note 3 cause it would only go in one way and this helped me to be able to tell which end is up without looking. The note 3 spen keeps getting swapped around with the button on the bottom alot with me (probably just me though). It did come with about 5 or so tips for the n3 and the n2 didn't which led me to believe the tip would need to be changed out. I'm going on a month now with mine as well and have been using it more and more each day it seems. I wonder how often you should change out the tip or will you know when you need to?
Edit: That's a HUGE photo!

S8 Plus isn't as large as my 5.9" Nexus 6. A little extra size and a larger battery.

well I had the same issue, I bought the S8 first, I have big hands and after using the S8 for few days, the S8 seemed to skinny and small, so I returned it and bought the S8+ which fits better in my hands!

He must have whooper jr. Hands ?

I had the same issue. The s8+ is easier to hold then the note 7 was. the s8 feels almost to small to hold like i have to squeeze where the s8 feels natural in my hands.. if that makes sense..

I switched from the S7 Edge to s8+ and am really happy. About the same width and only a bit taller. I'm surprised that I have the screen doesn't seem larger though,which is another reason I'm happy I went with the bigger one. Btw it's about the same height as the 6P if you've felt that one.

hands down S8+

Decided S8+

Well geeze, you posted this in the S8+ group so it's obviously going to be a bit one-sided.

Lol

Having tried both, I went for the S8+
The standard S8 felt too small in my hands, although I am 6'7" and have pretty big hands, so I might not be the best person to give advice.

Is it fits ur jeans pocket +

Galaxy S7 Book cover - front cover replacement

Do you know if exists some Front Cover replacement (no keyboard) for the Samsung Galaxy S7 Book cover? I love the back part with the stand and pen cover, but often do not need the front keyboard (too heavy). I'm looking for a simple front (magnetic ) light weight cover for storage in bag or when not used.

I literally just want the back part, but not willing to spend 200 dollars on it.

I've been looking at covers/cases and NON seem to be as good as the S6 ones.
I want to be able to protect the pen like with the S6

Choices are very limited so far.
Just get the regular book cover (no keyboard). The pen is stashed inside the spine, so at least it will be protected.

Spigen recently released (in the last month or so) a new book case. I think it's superior to Samsung's own book case. Offers a trifold front cover that can be folded back and also a spot to mount the s pen in the designated area on the back of the tablet. Link below if you're interested. I picked it up and it's been great.

I bought two cases/covers, this is the best one, very similar to the S6 cover I have, the magnet is strong. It even picked up a tea spoon in the kitchen when I had the tab on my worktop while cooking. Possibly not good enough protection to pop the tab in a rucksack and take out though.

I'm looking for exactly the same thing. Did you ever find anything that works?
A two part non-keyboard cover that I could use only the front part would be fine.

my new nibs.

my new nibs installed one works great read that gray ones are for more like typing the black ones are for drawing.
old versus new. the wore outnib isn't all that old, original is a Samsung nip that's wore out in the picture.

My nibs are fine. I even dropped my pen tip down on cement and I had to replace it with another nib. The only thing I agree with that review is that I had to use a pair of nose pliers to pull it out because that tool comes with the nibs only work to pull the original nib out.

original nib
new nibs dont wear down.

Thanks for the replies. You are supposed to do the work using the s pen a lot. I bought the tab as the time it is released, have used the pen for writing most of the time, but my s pen nib is not as worn as yours. Did you put too much pressure on the pen when writing?

it's Samsung go figure. tab as 7 + 5G s pen nib is cheap.

do you guys buy nibs because original one is deformed somehow or is it because these new nibs provide better functionality in writing or drawing?

I mostly use my Tab for drawing and the nib is definitely wearing down faster that previous Samsung Tablets. It's crazy that they didn't include spares in the box like they used to

i am using hard nibs from note 10 . loving it
