(Part 2) Best tablet accessories according to redditors

Check out r/Surface. There's a lot of people over there who I'm sure would help you with your problems.

Wacom has released the driver for full support in Photoshop as of May 10th.

As far as sensitivity goes this guide really helped me out a lot. You may also look into getting a Bamboo FEEL, which has the circuit in the tip of the pen and has greater accuracy.

You may try bumping the power settings up to get a boost in power. You can actually manually go into each individual part of the machine and set it to High. I have a power setting specifically for when I'm doing intensive work or gaming on it. Of course this kills the battery, but it's worth it when you need that extra power. I have my Power Options pinned to the start screen so that I have easy access when switching between tasks.

I don't do a whole lot of typing, so the type keyboard is probably more than I need, but I was wary of the touch keyboard. I actually enjoy using the onscreen keyboard (because it's so big), but that's really just a personal preference.

EDIT: Corrected keyboard type.

When I'm out & about: In this bumper case

When I'm at home: In this charger/stand

I think there is really only one option here: Install a dedicated tablet for the bathroom configured for that one access point.

OneDrive
Have it on your SP4, your phone, and make sure you can access it from your computer. Leave all your necessary school files and even draft files on it. If you need to print somewhere or your Surface dies when you're using it your work will be ready to continue on another device.

HDMI/VGA adapter
get a set if you do regular presentations

USB Hub
1 USB port will not be enough

Zagg 10-Key Bluetooth Number Pad
As an Accounting major this was the best purchase I made, see my review and link to purchase here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Surface/comments/2x3pwu/zagg_10_key_bluetooth_numeric_keypad_first/?context=10

UAG Case
If you're the type to get Otterbox's/LifeProof/UAG cases for your phone, definitely get this for the Surface: https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Feather-Light-Composite-Aluminum-Military/dp/B016ATD48O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1483771384&sr=8-2&keywords=uag+case+surface+pro+4

Bluetooth Mouse
The Microsoft Arc mouse is a great compact mouse. Do not get a USB mouse you will regret using the port. Careful not to get the USB version of the Arc mouse btw. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=microsoft+arc+mouse+bluetooth&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amicrosoft+arc+mouse+bluetooth

Screen Protector
I got a matte one for my SP3. If you plan on using the pen then this might not be desirable to you. I tried using the pen for notes and using OneNote for my first semester but it became useless as I type faster than I take notes. A Matte screen protector always feels good and you will rarely ever have to wipe and clean the screen.

iStudiez is awesome. I really don't use it to it's full capability but I can't find anything else that keeps my class schedule so neat and organized.

For the stylus, I really liked the Wacom Bamboo for iPad. The tip is supposed to be a bit smaller and it does write and move very smoothly.

Now a question. Why Notebooks for iPad? What other apps did you try? I'm just curious because I've had this on my Appshopper wishlist forever. Currently I use Notability for the same reasons you listed for liking Notebooks (formatting, bullet points) so just wondering what else in particular drew you to this app?

lamicall stand

I use this one. It’s great, and looks pretty sleek

This one's been great for me for the last 4-5 months. Slim, light-weight and reasonably simple/attractive looking. That said, the pricing is looking a little weird right now.

EDIT: Corrected the link; thanks /u/Riekopo and /u/gardobus.

When I got my Paperwhite I did some research and found the OMOTON case. It's light, sturdy, and has a magnetic flap. Multiple color choices. The outside texture is nice, enough grip so it doesn't feel like it slides out of my hand. $14.99 on Amazon now. The price fluctuates though, I got mine for $10.
http://www.amazon.com/OMOTON-Paperwhite-Thinnest-Lightest-versions/dp/B00EYW9DSU

I used a case for two years and never had to open my surfaces hinge.
I definitely recommend something like https://www.amazon.co.uk/ProCase-Surface-Microsoft-Compatible-Keyboard/dp/B0169X7WPW/ref=sr_1_24?ie=UTF8&qid=1549040494&sr=8-24&keywords=surface+case
or
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-Feather-Light-Composite-Aluminum-Military/dp/B016ATD48O/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1549040453&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=surface+case&psc=1

So I actually do use a tablet for school that I take notes on and actually have written a few of my reports on as well. Honestly, any tablet would be fine (I'm using a Sony Tablet S. not the Xperia Tablet S, just the Tablet S). What matters is the apps and accessories you use with it.

Apps

I study business, so I don't really need to do a lot of writing. Instead, i type most of my notes out on Evernote. When I do need to write stuff, then I'll use Lecture Notes, though there is a free alternative, but I can't remember its name right now.

Accessories

Unless you choose a tablet that comes with a keyboard (Like some of Asus's offerings, you'll want a portable keyboard. There are some case/keyboard hybrids for certain devices like the one for the Nexus 7 I linked. If not, I highly recommend (and use myself) the Logitech Tablet Keyboard for Android. As for stylus, I use the Adonit Jot Pro cos it helps me write in my cursive scrawl better than most other stylii. Of course if the tablet comes with a stylus, use that.

You mentioned getting a Note 8. I personally feel that might be a little small, and I prefer a larger tablet, maybe 9.5" to 10", just cause its closer to paper size, so it'll be easier to write on. So i'd suggest a Nexus 10, or possibly a Sony Xperia Z, and also the Galaxy Note 10.1.

Absolutely, 1000%, get this case.

I use the iPad almost exclusively for drawing, and I find this case to be perfect for nearly every position I find myself in. Drawing in the bed? Perfect. Drawing on a desk? Perfect. Need it to stand upright? Perfect. I mean, it's got 10 different stand positions. The cover also turns off the screen, and it's got two perfect holders for the Pencil. One that charges it, and another that holds it uncharged, so you don't have to worry about draining the battery.

I've dropped my iPad a couple times in this case, and it is still in perfect condition. I also applied a matte screen protector. And while that initially made the screen a worse quality, I got used to it really fast, and it made drawing on the iPad a much more Wacom-like experience. I also got a grip for the Pencil. I do have to take off the grip in order to charge the Pencil, but because of this case's extra Pencil-holder, most of the time the grip is able to remain on.

The weight and thickness are great as well. Durability is fantastic. I've had this case since January, and it's held up perfectly. No stretching on the corners, like I've seen with Otterbox cases. My iPad has been through the ringer; I take it with me everywhere. I don't have to baby it, or worry about it bending. For several months, I had it in a basic cloth purse with no padding. And it survived beautifully.

I seriously can't recommend this case enough, haha.

I bought this one suggested by another reddit user a few weeks ago and I love it. Also seems to be easier to use and cleaner looking. I love it.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00D4ABOZS/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1414381001&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40

>I type a few essays for school every blue moon, but that's about it.

Do not underestimate the convenience of having two windows open at the same time. Yes, you can switch between Safari and Pages/Word/whatever with a swipe, but it gets old quick.

Also: you're going to want a real keyboard to type an essay. You do not want to do it with the onscreen keyboard. Period. If you're not doing a lot of typing all over the place (library, notes in class, etc), then I guess that means you don't have to get a tiny keyboard, which is good news for typing comfort.

I'd suggest either the Universal Mobile Keyboard from Microsoft (no joke) or the K480 by Logitech. Both of them are nice to type on while still small enough to fit in most bags.

Consider the Pencil, and something like https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071WXGD7F , if you're into writing by hand. Notes in iOS 11 is supposed to offer text search of handwritten notes.

And ignore anyone who says it's weird to take photos with it. This is the device you would look at those photos on later, so you're snapshotting exactly what you want to come back to later.

I ordered this one. It looks perfect but it won't ship until later this month.

here is what I have been using. It's not a sleeve but it goes great with the smart cover or keyboard

If you want a stylus, I suggest the Adonit Jot Pro, which supposedly feels like a real pen. There isn't any palm rejection, but things that do are very expensive.

Adonit Jot Pro stylus is what I've been using for over a year on my iPad. No bluetooth but is pretty accurate for me when I take notes in class. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00931K1QK/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1409966820&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40

The N-Trig won't work. But the Samsung and these three will:

Wacom Bamboo Feel Stylus for Microsoft Surface Pro 1 and 2 and tablets with Feel technology https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BVUQZZ2/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_o8yKub0T7FVYN

MOTION COMPUTING Additional Digitizer Pen for L-Series https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000A3YEQI/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_z9yKub09GZHAP

Fujitsu Digitizer Pen (1 replacement Stylus) T5000 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00791UTH2/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_y-yKub0JTVMKF

While it doesn't have the magnetic connector nor the pocket clip, this pen functionally is better than the stock Microsoft Pen for the Pro 1 and Pro 2.

And much cheaper by Amazon price comparison.

http://www.amazon.com/Fujitsu-Digitizer-replacement-Stylus-T5000/dp/B00791UTH2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420777418&sr=8-1&keywords=lifebook+pen

There is also the Bamboo Feel Pen, that does have a protective cap and pocket clip. Also just as cheap. There isn't an eraser end and there is only one side button.

http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Microsoft-Surface-tablets-technology/dp/B00BVUQZZ2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1420777406&sr=8-3&keywords=microsoft+pen

I didn't want to push one product over another, but this is the one I ordered: http://www.amazon.com/Satechi-Universal-Smartphone-Slot-Mount/dp/B00D4ABOZS/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1411435667&sr=1-1&keywords=satechi+cd+slot+mount

I've been rocking this one with no complaints.

http://www.amazon.com/Satechi-Universal-Smartphone-Slot-Mount/dp/B00D4ABOZS

Been using this daily for almost 3 years:

https://smile.amazon.com/OMOTON-Paperwhite-Thinnest-Lightest-versions/dp/B00EYW9DSU

Bought these case for my SP4 and love it. Had it for a couple of months and like that it has a zippered pocket for the AC adapter, the pen, and the surface mouse.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00XJBDBUI/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1462574217&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=inateck+surface&dpPl=1&dpID=61gW3QFcw3L&ref=plSrch

I bought this one:
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01N4LHPZE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I love where it holds the pencil. Its not a sleeve, but it keeps the pencil in place, but also handy when you need it. the little hole in at the corner holds the pencil lid when its plugged into the iPad to charge.

It's nothing fancy, but functional as hell.

This is my ipad-focused case that I keep in my backpack. It contains the following:

(1) USB C to Lightning Cable

(1) USB C to USB C Cable

(1) USB A to Lightning Cable

(1) Foldable Keyboard

(1) USB C Hub

(1) 45W USB C Power Bank & (1) 45W Wall Charger

(1) Set of Apple Airpods

(2) 128GB Flashdrives

I'm also using this case for my iPad, and this screen protector.

Hope this helps!

Ultra portable. Plus laser pointer.

Not sure if it’s the exact same one but I just bought this one today. It was recommended by someone in another thread. Note there are rigid and non rigid sided options.

Cosmos® Black Color EVA Hard... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018NABJVW?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

Yeah

Poetic Lumos Flexible Soft Transparent Ultra-Thin Impact Resistant TPU Case for Apple iPad Pro 10.5 Crystal Clear https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N4LHPZE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_xwp0AbKVKJ8N1

I got the zugu case in navy blue. It has so many angles to prop it up, has 2 places to hold your apple pencil securely, feels sturdy, and looks great. Since you’re going to use it for drawing i highly recommend this

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K1M4PHY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Wqa7Cb7A77KBH?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app

This the case I got and it is fantastic. Zugu case

Does it absolutely HAVE to be a trackball? If a D-pad+software could be better, I could maybe build it out of a USB NES controller. I've already made one just for the sake of doing it, so it would be a piece of cake to make another shell to fit his hand. I know that's wired, but IIRC you can get adapters that can let you use USB stuff remotely (USB->adapter->goes through air->other adapter->USB port on computer).

I just found this too, would that work?

1. There are several types of digitizers. Wacom, N-Trig, Capacitive, and supposedly Synaptics on the new dell venue 8 pro. I'm not too familiar as to the actual definition of digitizer, but from what I know, there is another screen within the Wacom and N-Trig tablets allowing for better accuracy from the stylus and pressure detection. Capacitive is your standard tablet. Just touch screen, and you do have the option of getting a rubber ended stylus to try to write. However, it is nowhere near the technology of the Wacom and N-Trig.
   
   
2. Capacitive is simply touch screen. As I have said before, you do have the option of buying a rubber domed stylus for the capacitive. A capacitive tablet won't be able to use the stylus from a Wacom tablet. Your tablet is a capacitive tablet.
   
   
3. I'd say that note taking isn't that bad. People usually buy wacom enabled tablets for photoshop and note taking. If you find that the Asus t100 is decent with it's capacitive screen, then it shouldn't be a problem.
   
   
4. If you're looking for a capacitive stylus, you might want to check out these:
   
   http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Corp-Bamboo-Stylus-Tablets/dp/B004VM0SE6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382554686&sr=8-1&keywords=Wacom+stylus
   
   http://www.amazon.com/Cosmonaut-Wide-Grip-Stylus-Capacitive-Screens/dp/B007EW9ISM/ref=pd_sim_pc_7
   
   

I have a wacom bamboo stylus. It works well and feels good in my hand. Im no art major, but I was able to draw some neat things with it like casper and this guy with it. Don't pay more than $30 for it though, I just saw they raised their prices

I had one of those pens and used it for years until I discovered Noteshelf. It was useful in that it synched with Evernote (which I no longer use).

These are my go to applications for work now:

• For note taking I use Noteshelf almost exclusively now.
  
• PDF annotation I use Goodreader, but I'm thinking of checking out iAnnotate
  
• For OCR scanning I use Scanner Pro
  
• For tasks I use Do It (Tomorrow) HD
  
• For simple text documents I'm still deciding between Byword and iA Writer
  
• For word processing I use Pages
  
• For quick white board sketches I use Adobe Autodesk SketchBook. Yeah it's overkill, but I can whip out a quick and dirty diagram on this and it's actually cheap.
  
• For more formal tech diagrams I use TouchDraw
  
  I don't know if he uses a Mac desktop or not, but if so, this is the ultimate document/information/everything management platform:
  
  DevonThink Pro Office coupled with DevonThink To Go
  
  For a stylus, I cannot recommend the Wacom Bamboo stylus enough. It has the right heft and weight of a premium pen and the nib glides over the screen. As a bonus the nibs are completely replaceable as they wear out. I recommend ordering the replacements from Wacom directly. While it may take longer to ship, it's only 25% the cost resellers are charging on Amazon.

I think you may have to go with the surface pro 1 (the RTs don't have stylus input, and the Del venue is too small imo). You can get refurbished surface pro 1's for around ~$400 on ebay I think.

Out of the box, however, the note taking experience won't be particularly great due to the not-so-great calibration of the pen and the pretty bad pen that's included.

I highly suggest buying the wacom feel pen (http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Microsoft-Surface-tablets-technology/dp/B00BVUQZZ2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404214200&sr=8-1&keywords=wacom+feel), its $40 more, but it's rubber pen nib adds texture so it doesn't feel like you're writing on glass, and I find the cursor on the screen to track the wacom feel stylus better than the stylus included.

Next I would do the 273 point calibration, yes it's a lot, but it makes things oh so much better: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2171198
Also look though the wiki since it contains some really nice hidden gems (how to ad block on metro IE, DPI scaling, etc.)

I've got the omoton case, and it's been pretty awesome. Especially at $11. Also has a voyage version. http://www.amazon.com/OMOTON-Paperwhite-Thinnest-Lightest-versions/dp/B00EYW9DSU

Anybody know how it stacks up against the official paperwhite case?

  PS: I prefer this keyboard over the Apple one anyday - http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Universal-Keyboard-Android-devices/dp/B00GWGLUZ0/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1458646745&sr=1-1&keywords=microsoft+mobile+keyboard

LINK to Tested talking about it on their video podcast.

HERE it is on Amazon.

The Surface Pro with LTE Advanced seems to match your needs. The LTE model comes with a nano SIM card slot so your AT&T 4G plan should work with it. With the current promotion, this model (i5, 256GB SSD, 8GB RAM) is $1250 so its only just outside your budget, if that's fine. Keep in mind though that you would need to buy the Type Cover for the Surface.

I've seen a few rugged cases on Amazon like this one from Kensington or this one from UAG so those should be fine. Here's the Microsoft Store page for the Surface itself. You can also buy some of the accessories bundled together (like the UAG case and Type Cover) by clicking on "SEE DEALS" and going to "Bundle and Save", although there isn't much of a discount.

Edit: You could probably go for an older used Surface Pro as well to save money, but be sure to buy the LTE model otherwise it won't have a SIM card slot.

Better to get this one which is adjustable:

https://www.amazon.com/Tablet-Stand-Adjustable-Lamicall-Reader/dp/B01DBV1OKY

I use the Poetic Lumos case:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N4LHPZE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I chose this one because I wanted the lightest option I could find while able to use the Apple Smart Cover or Smart Keyboard, and have a spot to attach the Pencil.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071WXGD7F/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I bought this one about 6 months ago and it has held up well

You have a few options, assuming you're using an actual computer and not a raspberry Pi.

• Bluetooth Candy Board style remote. The Rii is on a deep discount right now. If you're on a raspberry pi, opt for a 2.5ghz one. I haven't been able to get bluetooth to work with my pi.
  
  
• MCE IR receiver / remote. You can sometimes find them at Value Village, but ebay or amazon is good enough. These work really well.
  
  The candy board style remote is nice because it's got a trackpad and keyboard. If you have a cat, they'll enjoy the laser pointer. The MCE remote is nice because it's a traditional feel -- on my system, I have both hooked up.

Buy this stylus. It's absolutely amazing.

The product must have an actual link to purchase.

Thanks /u/SuperBabyHix, now this is in my Amazon search history.

If you're open to getting a compatible pen instead of the original one, both the Wacom Bamboo Feel and this Fujitsu one are popular options

Been using this CD mount since I got the phone

Satechi Universal Smartphone CD Slot Mount https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D4ABOZS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_jMme6zNCdByfR

I have http://amzn.com/B00D4ABOZS, it holds the phone really well. The only issue I have is that my cd slot isnt flush and has a rounded lip at the bottom. Think like a 1/4" shelf. Makes the mount slowly loosen over time. Annoying but it works.

Get him the Paperwhite. If his eyes don't bother him with regular books he'll be able to read on the Paperwhite with no problem.

As far as cases go, the official Amazon case is nice, but I prefer this Omoton case (better price, and better design).

Enjoy! I've had my paperwhite for 2 months and I love it. I purchased this for my cover and it works great!

I recommend the Microsoft Universal Mobile Keyboard.

A large number of them have been DOA as of late, though, so you might need to go through a few returns to get one that works. Once you have one, though, you won't regret it. I haven't used it long enough to confirm the 6-month battery life claim, but I haven't charged it once since I got it in February.

My one bit of advise, skip the keyboard case and get a nice small bluetooth keyboard, and one or more cases of your choice. I've had several generations of iPads and a few Keyboard cases in my time. They are more expensive and have consistently broken on me. Of all the separate keyboards I've had, not one has broken, I've taken them with me between devices, and they've lasted years. You can buy far more or less protective cases, as you wish.

Just some recommendations:

  The Microsoft is my favorite, but no longer available. the iClever foldable is my newest and I'm getting to like it quite a bit.
  
  The only argument I can make for the 4G iPad is that it also includes GPS capabilities. If you want to use it for navigation, photography with geotagging, or any other location-dependent activity, you might want to consider it. It also grabs a slightly higher resale value.
  
  The Pro gets you the Pencil, faster speeds, more memory, slightly better screen, larger sizes. If you don't need any of these, then no reason to get the Pro. The iPad can do anything a Pro model can do, except for hardware differences (Pencil compatibility and True Tone screen).
  
  The iPad (any model) can handle note taking and basic office productivity very well. Apple's iWork apps are the "smoothest" and fit the iPad the best. But Microsoft Office is not far behind. Google's apps are shoe-horned to work with the iPad and the least "iPad like" IMHO. But since all are basically free to download and try I'd say give them all a chance.
  
  I would recommend getting the 128G. You can't upgrade later and some day you may wish you had the space, especially for movies and the like. Transferring to and from the cloud can be a chore.

Guten tag!

I purchased this Fintie case in black for $12 from Amazon. It's a fantastic case. The fit is very precise, and the magnetic closure works well. I would absolutely purchase another of these cases in the future, and have recommended them and also been approved of by two of my coworkers.

Manufacturers headline:

Fintie NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet K1 SmartShell Case - Ultra Slim Lightweight Stand Cover

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MN98ATE

Both less than $20

http://smile.amazon.com/ProCase-SlimSnug-NVIDIA-Shield-Exclusive/dp/B00MJXK8VM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1409892343&sr=8-2&keywords=shield+tablet+cover

Oh yeah. It's easy as dirt to unlock and root. The stock ROM will remove root and TWRP on OTA updates though, just a heads up.

Fintie makes pretty great cases on the cheap. I've gotten their stuff for every tablet I've owned. I use this one since I like a heftier device and it fits well in my bluetooth controller's grips, but there's a slim shell one too more like the official case if you prefer.

I got this case. It's great. Its magnetic and also has a hardshell case for the backside. I was skeptical of the price, but I'm very happy with it. I really recommend it.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00MN98ATE

I've been using this one (8.99) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MN98ATE?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage since my $50 broke. It's been sturdy the last few months.

It looks exactly the same as the others posted, just a different seller.

Try Amazon to find a good pen case. I have one that holds 4 pens, but it's bulky for a front pocket, but it will fit. The one I have, I toss into my backpack, as that's more convenient than my pocket. Here are two examples:

• https://www.amazon.com/Cosmos®-Executive-Fountain-Ballpoint-Creative/dp/B018NABJVW/ref=sr_1_15?keywords=fountain+pen+case&qid=1565490689&s=gateway&sr=8-15
  
  Another option could be 1 pen in your pocket and the other three in a case, that way you have one with you at all times. My single pen sleeve is a leather Aston model. Here's a search query on Amazon -> https://www.amazon.com/s?k=single+fountain+pen+sleave&ref=nb_sb_noss
  
  TWSBIs are notorious for caps breaking. Both of my broke for using them in the Aston leather sleeve. If you write to [email protected] and explain what broke, they will arrange to send you new caps for the price of shipping. For me it was $7. Totally worth it as I have my TWSBI's back. Use them at home, or in the 4 pen case. No issues with caps breaking since.
  
  Lastly, don't buy the Speakeasy...that's my opinion, because, while it's beautiful and it truly is, it is designed to hold more alcohol than ink. It's more of an art piece than a useable pen. If I recall, the Speakeasy uses short international cartridges...something ridiculously small for such a large pen. Because of that, the Speakeasy fell off my list of possible future pens. Just my opinion.

It's this guy right here! I just really like that it's simple and compact while still feeling sturdy. I sometimes use it for another tablet if I'm doing handwritten notes and use the tablet to look through my textbooks.

I use the Smart Keyboard Cover with no screen protector or case. I have like one scratch on the screen and it's hard to notice unless you actively look for it. I have a sleeve for it too.

It was the first thing that came up when searching for "poetic 10.5 ipad."

I have this case for mine and have no complaints. It fits snugly and the buttons are crisp. The cover even wakes the screen. Not bad at all for the price.

In that case maybe something like this would be a better option:

This case is very popular. I have it on my 12.9" pro. It's a little on the heavy side, but the functionality is really great with many angles to view and good protection.

Not kickstand, but the one that I went with: https://www.amazon.com/Muse-Case-Protective-Convenient-Magnetic/dp/B07H7VK7K8

I believe all 3 have been talked about throughout this thread, so if you search by their names, you can see how others feel about them (mostly positive for each one). I've been looking for one as well, though without the keyboard. Unfortunately, i don't think we have yet to have a stand that comes close to the fluidity of a Surface Pro hinge stand. I'm waiting to see if anything newer pops up in the fall (ideally hoping to see one with a trackpad). In the meantime, I picked up a Zugu case that has functioned pretty well.

Yup, Zugu
https://www.amazon.com/Muse-Case-Protective-Convenient-Magnetic/dp/B07H7VK7K8

Check out the Zugu case. I have it and love it and I think it’s exactly what you’re looking for. It’s on amazon too. A little pricy at $60 but it is definitely worth it imo.

https://www.zugucase.com/the-muse-case-for-ipad-pro-11-in-2018/

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H7VK7K8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_82ovCbGZWAQJH

I use the Zugu Muse case for the 12.9" pro, but it comes in a 11" model too https://www.amazon.com/Muse-Case-Protective-Convenient-Magnetic/dp/B07H7VK7K8

It has many viewing angles, and supports the Apple pencil. It provides very good protection and feels very sturdy. I have no fears of bending my iPad when protected by this.

Only thing is I feel like the screen more quickly gets dusty because the felt touches your lap/table/whatever surface you place your iPad on when using its viewing angles.

I have a Zugu Muse case, and it’s absolutely amazing. Built-in housing for magnetic pencil attachment, with a sleeve in back to carry it when you’re traveling and don’t want to risk losing it. Full protection, and eight possible stand positions. The button covers don’t have the annoyingly spongy resistance that other cases I’ve had have given me. Magnets in all the right spots, so things stay attached where they’re supposed to. Overall, it looks and feels premium.

It doesn’t have Smart Keyboard compatibility, but I’ve found that a decent portable Bluetooth keyboard takes care of that need, and although it’s not all-in-one, I like having the option to not have a keyboard in the way, as well as the ability to position it further from the iPad.

That's in the works!

You can certainly use Bluetooth keyboard/mice combos (something like this) with the M300, but the ideal approach is to use existing applications which are tailored to the user interface models of Smart Glass devices which don't rely upon touch-based input.

If you'd like any further help with your M300, please feel free to send me a PM.

Several of the Rii keyboards seem to work well on the raspberry. There are some tho which use 2,4Ghz band, but something proprietary and not bluetooth.

This one has bluetooth dongle and a 5 Star raspberry review.

These are nice when you only need the keyboard intermittently. I have had mine for 5 years, still works great. https://www.amazon.com/Rii-Smartphone-mini-X1-BT/dp/B004I4RW8C

in regards to your second link... i would not recommend...it has piss poor reception and the mousepad is not i would call quality, it has tracking issues for sure.

Honestly a Apple Trackpad might not be a bad idea. Just turn sensitivity up so he doesn't have to move his hand very much.

It's a Rii Mini Bluetooth keyboard with touchpad.

The Bamboo stylus for iPad is by far the best I've seen. Here's the Amazon link! I've tried a few, and nothing feels as natural as this one.

Right now I'm looking at: Smart Writing Tool - 7notes HD for the app and http://www.amazon.com/Bamboo-Stylus-iPad-Black-CS100K/dp/B004VM0SE6 for the stylus. Are there better picks out there?

Pressure sensitive

I recommend buying extra tips as I burned through a few when I first started, like $10 for a pack of three? I got better over time but at first I was learning the friction and grip needed, now it's smoother. #musclememory

This is the stylus I use. I like it because it fits in the little loop on the front of my case and it has replaceable nibs. My gf bought me one of those long Brookstone ones but I never carried it around because it didn't fit. That's probably the only reason I wouldn't consider that one. Looks nice otherwise

Get the Poetic Slimline case. The black one was $5 when I preordered it, but I think it's gone up to $10, with the other colors being $15. It looks a lot like the ASUS premium cover and works great. Auto sleep/wakes the screen, feels and fits great, etc. I like the way it attaches much more than most of the other cases I've seen that just loop an elastic band over the corners or have weird claw things that grip around the edges.

http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimline-Portfolio-Automatically-Manufacturer/dp/B008NMCPTQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1377378416&sr=8-1&keywords=poetic+nexus+7

Seems silly to protect the back of the case when it is already a sturdy material. I realize most people get this sort of case to protect from drops, but I'm not too worried about that.

Tube sock thing would almost work but I'm mostly trying to protect the glass from piercing damage. The most hostile environment the tablet has to endure is my wife's purse, which has all sorts of pointy implements. A leather or rubber case would protect from piercing better than cloth.

I came across this case which doesn't look too bad, but still seems thicker than it needs to be. The Dodo case looks amazing but the adhesive would make it difficult to remove the tablet. The official case bugs me because the front flap doesn't secure in any way. This one isn't out yet but seems to be the best of the bunch.

You know, maybe I don't give the glass enough credit. I have been using my current phone (Samsung Galaxy S) without a case for over 2 years, and the glass still looks great. There are some tiny scratches, but you have to reallllly look to see them. I suppose the big difference is the phone stays in my relatively safe pocket while the tablet gets tossed into the nearest container.

This looks like the one I'll be waiting for. Not exactly Apple sexy but I think it's the closest we're going to get for now. I wish there were some more colors.

Did anyone tried the Slimline Poetic case yet? http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimline-Portfolio-Automatically-Manufacturer/dp/B008NMCPTQ

I think the Poetic Slimline is pretty similar to the Asus case.

Personally, I prefer the Moko case for the lifetime warranty and a more stable stand feature. I also splurged for the carbon fiber texture because it looks and feels really nice.

I purchased this case when it was first available and they had a few problems with the original builds. I just received my 3rd version of this case (all replacements free of charge) and I have to say that this time they have it perfect.

I would highly recommend this case to anyone who is looking for something with a solid feel, very slim profile and built in stand functionality. It also has a smart cover. The 7 fits very snuggly into the case.

Company I purchased through sent all replacements without any request or inquiry on my part.

Here is where I got it on Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008NMCPTQ/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00

The Jot Pro--I love it. Well worth the money for me.

http://www.amazon.com/Adonit-Point-Stylus-iPhone-Kindle/dp/B00931K1QK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1413330956&sr=8-1&keywords=adonit+jot

This is the one I use. It has a precision tip. I really like it. But you have to be careful if any small particles get under the little plastic disc on the tip, it could scratch your screen. The easiest way to prevent this is just to use a microfiber cloth, and wipe down the screen before use.

I tend to hear a lot about the Adonit Jot styli when looking at such things for capacitive screens. Products like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Adonit-Precision-Android-Samsung-Windows/dp/B00931K1QK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1457279462&sr=8-3&keywords=Adonit+Jot
It looks like there are knock off brands with the same style too:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N1BRWLA?keywords=stylus&qid=1457279353&ref_=sr_1_8&sr=8-8

There are a few alternatives but most people stick to the cheap round fat end ones. There is an eKit Paintbrush or the more accurate Adonit Jot Pro Stylus but I think it's better to have a screen protector for that one.

Sorry for the small gif. No idea how you can make that larger from the source.

Only recommendations would be getting a Wacom Bamboo Feel stylus. They are much heftier and have a much better pen feel than the regular stylus and a Freedom case. The freedom case makes up for all the angles you lose by not having a surface pro 3 while looking really nice and protecting the easy to scratch back of the surface. They both completed my surface pro experience and I can't recommend them enough.

Forgot to mention you will want to pick up a different stylus for the Chromebook for heavy usage. The portability is excellent with the provided stylus but it is designed as a "add on" for people doing quick notes rather than the professional artist. My hand does cramp due to the barrel size of the provided stylus. While the ones I linked aren't the only choices you need to make sure you get the ones designed for the older Surface tablets and/or Wacom compatible technology. I think there are a few subreddits posted about this in the Samsung Chromebook subs...
Some choices are:
https://www.amazon.com/Staedtler-Digital-Samsung-Technology-GP-U999ERIPAAB/dp/B072N31S7C/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1525439437&sr=8-4&keywords=chromebook+pro+stylus

I really like my current setup for listening to music in my car via bluetooth. Some of these are paid apps.

GOgroove FlexSmart X3 FM Transmitter Solid FM transmitter, good quality sound and adjusted tuning freq is nice.

Delayed Lock - $3 - disables my pattern lock screen when the phone is connected to the bluetooth transmitter

Car Dashdroid - auto runs when connected to bluetooth FM transmitter. Big shortcut icons and dial pad for car use. Auto closes when disconnected from bluetooth.

Nova Launcher - setup homescreen gesture to run car dashdroid with 2 fingers swipe down and Waze with two fingers swipe up.

Satechi Car Mount Works perfectly with the OPO.

With these apps and OPO's double tap to turn on, using the phone in the car is a treat.

This works pretty well for me.

Satechi Universal Smartphone CD Slot Mount for iPhone 6 Plus, 6, 5S... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D4ABOZS/

I got this mount- it sticks into the CD slot!

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00D4ABOZS?pc_redir=T1&psc=1&redirect=true

Over 2 years ago, I reviewed this mount, here's what I wrote back then:

"I can vouch for this mount. I got it about 3 weeks ago for my iPhone 6+ because I'd be traveling a lot and it has held beautifuly. I have a VW beetle and the only thing is that the little foot that holds to the front panel of the factory stereo blocks/presses the buttons, so I just installed it upside down and it fits perfectly. I love it and it hasn't moved, bounced, wiggled or anything in the +5000 km I've put in my car since buying it."

Anyway, 2 years later the thing is working as new, the spring that holds the movable lip hasn't faltered, the inner lips that hold the thing in place inside the cd slot haven't damaged anything and the outside of the cd slot isn't scratched. Hope this helps.

Here is one example, where all I did was change the "ca" to "com":

Amazon.ca kindle paperwhite case: $94.76 CAD

Amazon.com kindle paperwhite case: $13.99 USD (per Wirecutter.com, they have always been this price, nothwithstanding the "sale price")

This case on Amazon is $12 and has ridiculously good reviews.

If it really is normally $37, the OMOTON appears to be identical, at $14-16, depending on color.

I checked a few older threads and here are a few links to suggested covers:

Fintie

Omoton

MoKo

They all bend backwards and have auto wake/sleep. They all have different colours and designs.

These are the regular covers. There are also some neat covers called origami that fold in the back, making a little stand for the Kindle. Here's one by Fintie. Seems like all these brands have them, so just search and choose your favourite.


Note: those links are for the Paperbacks versions. If you go with the Voyage, just search for that version.

If you're looking for a sleeve I recommend this one:

If you're looking for a case I'd get this one (but warning, its insanely difficult/annoying to remove)

I'm enjoying the Microsoft Universal Keyboard, which isn't a case but is very portable and much more responsive than the keyboard case I used with my older iPad.

https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Universal-Keyboard-Android-devices/dp/B00GWGLUZ0/

I realize it's not what you're asking for but it's something to consider.

I use this. It's excellent.

Best keyboard I have used so far is the Microsoft Bluetooth keyboard. I have both the older model that has the plastic cover/stand on the keys and the folding model. For the price they are fantastic.

older model

Non mobile link.

I have the Fintie SmartShell case, and I don't really like it. Perhaps it's the tablet, but it doesn't seem to reliably wake or sleep the device, and on occasion when I close the flap, I can hear my finger presses being registered by the screen; and when it does that, the screen does not shut off. I would like to buy the official case, but I just don't have the money right now.

Edit: This case, for anyone wondering

I recommend any of these.
I have one, and it's fantastic. I've heard bad things about the official cases. I don't worry about mine at all. I also don't drop it from standing heights on the regular. If you are going to use it to play hockey, I'd get something thicker.

I've got intelliarmor on mine and it is probably the best screen protector I've ever had for a device. As for case, I think it's up to personal preferences in part, but brand aside I highly recommend getting a case that the front is tri-fold to double as a stand. I personally have this one: http://www.amazon.com/Fintie-NVIDIA-SHIELD-Tablet-SmartShell/dp/B00MN98ATE but any case like that with good reviews should be fine, IMO.

http://www.amazon.com/Fintie-NVIDIA-SHIELD-Tablet-SlimShell/dp/B00MN98ATE/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1449254889&sr=1-1&keywords=Nvidia+sheild+case

This has a hole for the stylus, but I have the K1 and it didn't bother me. I really like the case so far. Magnet screen lock works great, tablet snaps in securely, and it stands up nicely so far. Zero complaints from me.

I just looked up the Beepole case and it looks very similar to Fintie NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet K1 SmartShell Case. I'm very pleasantly surprised how well this relatively inexpensive case functions. I would recommend it.

Good point, thanks for pointing that out. I'm currently between:

Does anyone have a 12 inch laptop that they need a case for? I no longer need this and am looking to sell to someone for cheap.

I Like this one

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XJBDBUI

This is the one I use. It lives in my Timbuk2 messenger bag.

My wife has that on her SP3 and we really like it.

I got this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XJBDBUI?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00
We both think it is even better. Only one external pocket, but the zipper stops about 1/2" short on both sides which allows me to clip my pin on one side and stick my HDMI-mHDMI adapter in the other side. The handle comes in extremely handy as well.

Speaking from personal experience, I would go with this Microsoft Surface Pro 4.

I was in the market for a machine so my daughter could do her art without covering our house in the inane ramblings of an 8 year old, so I started digging into convertibles with pens. I finally settled on the SP4.

It's extremely lightweight, the magnet attachment for the keyboard and power are fantastic features, the pen is really great and accurate, and the display is absolutely beautiful. I really suggest the i5/8GB model, since you can't upgrade it, and I would suggest getting this UAG Case as well. I tested a number of cases first and landed on that one, as it allows the keyboard to snap to it without removing the case or having any other weird addition like the Otterbox one has.

Also keeping in mind that the Surface Pro Type Cover is separate, it is on the high end of your budget. But something that will last all day (in power saving mode), and be extremely easy to carry around with a good quality pen is well worth it.

I've used this rugged case for the past year: UAG Rugged Case. Pros: I could probably crush someone's skull with it if they attacked me during my commute. Cons: heavy (14 oz), the joint for the built-in stand is kind of flimsy, heat is not dissipated like it needs to be and the battery drains faster than normal. Looking at the other posts, I'll probably get a screen-protector and maybe a lighter case.


I find myself taking my SP out of the case quite often because I like the way it looks and the full range of positions with the SP stand vs the case's stand.

​

This case was pretty much made for the military:

UAG

If you get him a non-Core M3 SP4 though, the heatsink is behind the kickstand, and a case that allows the kickstand to open would prevent overheating.

I’ve ordered this from amazon: Link
Still waiting for it’s delivery so I can’t review it for you but I’ve watched great YouTube reviews on it.

Just a cheapo tablet stand from Amazon. This one, I think: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DBV1OKY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I don't actually recommend it for an SB, but it's fine for a tablet (or the SB in tablet mode). It's not heavy or stable enough to support the computer in laptop mode. The SB's balanced towards the back, so it just tips over.

I bought this case to carry everything in: iPad Pro with smart keyboard and khomo back cover, and I keep the pencil in the front zippered pocket along with earpods.

It's slim and does exactly what it says it will. I don't have much faith in the plastic around the edges though. I will be replacing it with this once it's in stock:

I've had this same case from Khomo on my iPad Air 1 and Air 2 and never had an issue. It's built from a nice rubberized material on the bottom that is comfortable and has never broken on me.

I bought this one and I've loved it so far. Probably not the absolute best in terms of protection, but it does the trick for me. Plus that price is great.

Well trolling Amazon will give you the best way to glean the info you need.

I went with the MoKo Pencil Case Holder with the ESR iPad 9.7 2018/2017 Case

But simple search there should give a lot of options. iPad 9.7 Portfolio

I recently bought an iPad but I need help choosing an inexpensive case cover. Which material is the best in terms of protection (falls, wear and tear)?

​

Option 1 : Hard plastic back

Option 2 : Soft TPU back

Option 3 : Soft TPU Bumper Edges with Hard plastic back

​

Actually, I'd rather not go with hard plastic as it may crack easily?

So, Option 2 or 3?

​

Pwease help, thank you!

I'll be going with THIS one. I use the smart keyboard and this will help protect the back and look like it belongs.

Currently, I use a beige smart cover on the back. It works surprisingly well on the back of my iPad with the smart keyboard on the front. I put it on the back only while it's in my bag.

I got this case, which is compatible with the Smart Keyboard and has a pencil holder. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B071WXGD7F/ref=psdcmw_3012929011_t1_B07215MYS4

The Muse case by Zugu. Got mine on Amazon for 60. Absolutely love this case. 8 viewing angles, allows the pencil to charge with the case on and has an elastic pocket to put pencil in when traveling so it doesn’t get lost. Sleep/Wake works. My iPad lives in this case when traveling.

Muse CAse

I have the new edition of this and I completely agree, hands down the best case I've ever used for a tablet. No keyboard but very sturdy and protective, and the magnets surprisingly work well to hold it at whatever angle you choose. I think unless the OP absolutely had to have a keyboard at all times with their iPad, they would really benefit from this case plus an external keyboard left in the office ✌

Yes. There are tons of options. None are going to make you happy. The core issue is these requirements:

> I type at 120 wpm.

and

> something we can get out of our pockets

are antithetical.

Small keyboards suck. Folding keyboards suck. Roll up keyboards suck. You can get bluetooth versions of all three.

I've tried USB RF & bluetooth versions of the Rii mini keyboards but they're a bit laborious to work on for any length of time. Nice for travel, or infrequent typing though.

Yup thats exactly it, as for selection, cursor already exists in android if you pair it with a mouse - I use a Rii Mini Bluetooth Keyboard It's a tonne of fun.

I also mirror the touch support so you can still tap icons on either side of the SBS (of course when it's incase this is useless)

SBS button in the drop down menu is an amazing idea! Thanks will look into it

> useful for sharing a quick screenshot of something

Just adding my screenshot tip to the bunch, since no-one mentioned it yet.

The following method will allow you to make a screenshot, even if you have a modal window on the screen. Modal windows (typically you have to press OK, Cancel or X to close them) will prevent any other actions taking place, including making screenshots from second screen controls or using volume button combinations.

1. Attach a wired (with USB-C OTG or USB-C hub) keyboard or connect a bluetooth keyboard, e.g. they have these tiny pocketable ones
   
   
2. Press PrtScr on the attached/connected keyboard (a screen capture animation will show and screenshot will be stored into the gallery).
   
   Samples where this method was useful recently were e.g.:
   
   

• The Androbench screenshots for the gallery in my 400GB microSDXC benchmark post. I made those with my Logitech K810.
  
  
• Most of the screenshots in this gallery about hooking up the Sony WH-CH700N bluetooth headphones I could only make with this method, Was glad to have the Rii keyboard in my pocket that day.
  

Lots like this. https://www.amazon.com/Rii-Smartphone-mini-X1-BT/dp/B004I4RW8C

I use a Bamboo Stylus made by Wacom Tech. It costs but it is one of the best. http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Corp-Bamboo-Stylus-Tablets/dp/B004VM0SE6

Wacom does make a bamboo stylus for capacitive displays (called Bamboo Stylus for iPad). I use one with my xoom, and it works great.

http://www.amazon.com/Bamboo-Stylus-for-iPad-CS100K/dp/B004VM0SE6

The tip is replaceable, if you can find some, I ordered 3 replacement tips directly from Wacom a while back, but I don't have the link to it right now.

>Back when I used it last, I don't think it had much handwriting support outside of diagrams (this is okay for me... I hate handwriting on the iPad).

Have you checked out the wacom bamboo pen?

I use this on my razr maxx: http://www.amazon.com/Bamboo-Stylus-for-iPad-CS100K/dp/B004VM0SE6

It works great, I mainly bought it to use on my transformer but works fine on the razr as well.

@FelixR1911 - You need a powered usb hub. The micro usb port doesn't have enough power to do much more than a small thumb drive. I bought this http://www.amazon.com/eForCity-Micro-USB-OTG-Adapter/dp/B005QX7KYU/ref=pd_bxgy_pc_text_z to cover the fact that it doesn't have a usb port...and that small device gets bonus points for working on my nexus 7. I can plug this into my vivo tab smart then plug in my nexus 7 and put files on it like a normal android device.

I use a wacom pen http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Corp-Bamboo-Stylus-Tablets/dp/B004VM0SE6/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1376960389&sr=1-1&keywords=bamboo+stylus+solo

I had bought a Monteverde mainly because I needed a ball point pen as well as a stylus. Great pen; not so great stylus.
I just picked up a Wacom Bamboo and I must say its reputation is up held. The hands down best stylus on the market.
Also don't forget to install TouchScreen Tune if you are going to be using your TF201 with a stylus much.
If you plan to do a lot of note taking I would however suggest the keyboard.

This is the stylus I have (just a normal kind): http://www.amazon.com/Bamboo-Solo-Stylus-iPad-CS100K/dp/B004VM0SE6

Yes, I zoom in for the coastline as much as it will allow - 3000% - and I use a pencil tool anywhere from a radius of .25 to .5.

'That Case' as in the $50 'Premium Case'.

I forgot I tried out the Poetic Slimline too, which was pretty close to perfect, but I wanted more protection while traveling and just havent swapped it back on yet.

Thanks for saying you didn't like the Moko, reminded me I even had the Poetic Slimline anymore. Hahah

ordered this one for 5.95 on amazon, and got it this week.
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimline-Portfolio-Automatically-Manufacturer/dp/B008NMCPTQ/ref=sr_1_2_m?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1377370157&sr=1-2&keywords=poetic+slimline+nexus+7

looks good, has the magnets for the auto wake, and can be propped up. not bad for price at all

It hasn't been released yet - due to release 20th of August. All the pictures I've got are the ones from the amazon site: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008NMCPTQ/ref=s9_simh_gw_p23_d11_i2?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1F78MSBK1GFF5462M4KN&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=317828027&pf_rd_i=468294

What makes this my choice (albeit I haven't personally seen it), is that it's got a hard back that covers the device, it's got a smart cover with magnets that close and turn off the screen that can also turn into a stand. And it's sleek as a motherfraker.

If it fits into the Nexus 7 as well as the THIS fits the Kindle Touch, I'm going to be a very, very happy man.

http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimline-Portfolio-Automatically-Manufacturer/dp/B008NMCPTQ/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1375355998&sr=8-5&keywords=Nexus+7+case

Click the one for the new nexus 7. Looks like they're making them.

I have this one. Got it about a month or so ago and had zero problems with it. Does what it's supposed to, has the wake-up magnet, Nexus 7 fits in there very nice and tight.

http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimline-Portfolio-Automatically-Manufacturer/dp/B008NMCPTQ/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1382060808&sr=1-3&keywords=nexus+7+cover

I'm not an artist or designer, but the best stylus I've tried yet is the Adonit Jot Pro.

I actually had no idea about the kickstarter thing, haha. I think some of their more expensive ones may have app integration, but mine is just the stylus. Here it is on Amazon.

I have heard it will cause tiny little scratches on the screen if something gets caught between the disk and your screen (like dirt or something). I don't really have that problem since I got a screen protector. If you were to get one I'd definitely suggest getting a screen protector. Ever since I got it the stylus writes a lot smoother (sometimes it'd skip during writing).

Definitely look around though. I went through the same thing you did a few months ago, and the Adonit Jot Pro just works for me. Here is a good thread from a week ago about styli in case you want other suggestions.

Hope this helped!

I recently did a continuing education program (~200 pages) with about 120 assessment questions. Using ezPDF as the reader, and an amPen stylus (http://www.amazon.com/cell-phones-accessories/dp/B008MOHLVC), I was able to highlight with reasonable accuracy and mark up the PDF with handdrawn circles/arrows, although I would suggest a more fine tip stylus for good note taking since the width of a standard stylus isn't really too much better than a carefully maneuvered finger. I haven't tried it, but the Adonit Jot Pro has some good reviews (http://www.amazon.com/Adonit-Stylus-iPhone-Kindle-Tablets/dp/B00931K1QK/ref=pd_cp_pc_0), and came recommended by folks on this subreddit, but it was a bit pricy. For note taking during class, I don't know how happy you'd be with note taking from any tablet though, IMHO.

I go to a school that implemented a 1:1 iPad program, and while many of us started out using the cheap rubber tipped styluses, I, and many others, have found that the Adonit Jot Pro is the best one to go with. I've had to get on my hands and knees to search for the tip twice, but I think it's worth it. It's much more accurate since you can see through the clear disk.

I got an iPad for this purpose because I felt that as tablets go, apple are the best at it, and anything i needed the freedom of android to do I could use my nexus 5.

I found that it's usefulness as a notetaking device really depends on the way the notes are distributed. If you're given copies of the lecture notes ahead of time, you can upload them to google drive or dropbox and use a good pdf annotater to scribble small diagrams or make text notes on them as you go through the lecture.

This is definitely better than paper copies, since you can zoom into small images and annotate in high, vectorised detail. I bought iAnnotate PDF for about £7, and it was definitely worth it - it syncs your annotations automatically, so as soon as you're finished it'll be uploaded to the cloud and you have copies of your annotated notes online. You can add things like bookmarks and links to quickly jump through the document too, which is nice.

However, if you're not given copies ahead of time, it's pretty useless as a replacement for pen and paper. I didn't buy an expensive stylus, I just bought a cheap rubber/foam thing which I didn't end up using much at all. I had a friend who had a similar idea to me and spent about £30 on this. It's pretty good and gives you the precision of a ballpoint, but scratches the screen if you don't use a screen protector. He gave up taking handwritten notes with it anyway - it's really difficult to do effectively, and you're probably better just using paper.

So the upshot was in my first semester of 4th year everything was distributed in advance - all I took into uni with me was my ipad, and it was great. I had lovely digitally annotated notes available from any PC. In second semester nothing was distributed digitally and I had an irritating mixture of badly organised notes on the ipad and scribbles on a stack of paper in my bag. If the iPad wasn't such a good way to reddit from bed I'd probably be disappointed in spending so much money on it, but as it is I use it a huge amount to procrastinate so it was a good excuse to buy one.

This isn't a direct Android related question but does anyone have any experiences with any good quality Stylus? I'm getting the Nexus 9 and plan to get this to edit PDFs etc on it. Would appreciate any input.

Would this one do the trick?
http://www.amazon.ca/Adonit-Dampening-Stylus-iPhone-Tablets/dp/B00931K1QK

I also go between Bamboo Paper for short notes and One Note which has a decent ability to zoom out and pan down so you never have to "add a page" you can just create really long pages. My writing improved immensely once I purchased an Adonit Jot Pro non-affiliate amazon link.

Plus, awesome Amazon comments.

It's real btw. http://amzn.com/B00AQT653G

I have heard mixed things about this one http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Microsoft-Surface-tablets-technology/dp/B00BVUQZZ2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394559574&sr=8-1&keywords=wacom+feel

Supposed to be much better, but it lacks the eraser, and I dont think they can add more buttons on this variant of the wacom tech.

For the Freedom Case: www.freedomcase.com/watch and tonce you have it a lot of trying out. I got myself a Wacom Stylus and stretched the loop on the Case to with the Cap in so I can now easily remove the Pen and put it back on without worrying much about loosing it, other then that I can't give more tips to the Freedom case it always deepens on how you use your Surface.

Microsoft Office what do you want to know? What is your use case? If you are short on money get a outlook.com account and you can use the awesome web Apps that get you quiet far and are great for teamwork.

OneNote Desktop - for Free (legal) for Desktop Use for Heavy Pro users (IMO)+ OneNote Windows Store App for just taking basic notes and touch/ Stylus use. Let me know what your use case is and I may can tell you more about it. I recommend getting the App for your Phone as well (WP user by any chance?) its out for WP, iOS and Androide.
/r/OneNote - I just leave this here

It's this surface feel bamboo. Yeah I pretty much use it for one-note. Also once you get the pen, set the "tip feel" in pen and tablet properties to all the way firm and re-calibrate.

You could get one of these instead: http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Microsoft-Surface-tablets-technology/dp/B00BVUQZZ2

I am using this, and it works well with my original Surface Pro.
http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00BVUQZZ2

The charcoal version should be good as well.
http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00BVUR07Y

Though untested, this one seems to be compatible with the Surface Pro and Pro 2:
http://www.wacom.com/en-us/products/stylus/bamboo-smart

Generally, most pens that work with Galaxy devices with stylus work with Surface Pro 1 and 2 since both uses similar Wacom's technology. However, I wouldn't always count on it. Note that Bamboo Feel styluses do not come with an eraser.

If you aren't sure, there's always the original Surface Pen that works well.
http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00C8Q0176

So I found your review on Amazon. So this pen works with the SP2, right? So far I only have the Bamboo Feel Pen and the Fujitsu Pen. I prefer the Wacom pen for precision and accuracy, but it lacks a second button and an eraser. Have you had a Wacom Bamboo Feel pen before? If so how does it feel compared to the Wacom UP-911E-02A?

P.S.: Thanks for sharing btw. Gonna get this for my SP2 when I can.

Car mount. I like this one

Linkage to the one you purchased? I got this one and it works great, but there's a small hump that blocks part of the infotainment center. Troublesome for the backup camera.

I use something similar

http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D4ABOZS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This is the best car mount I have had and it can be used with any mobile. Any use it for iphone 6 plus and the best wallet case I could find was the new spigen wallet case.

I got the same one in black and have been really happy with it. Fits perfect, sturdy, and isn't that much thicker.

1. Item. Wine stains your teeth, so you need a toothbrush to help fight that!
   
2. Item. Without regular brushing, shedding pets leave hair on the floor that has to be swept up!
   
3. Item. Kenny Powers is a baseball player, he has to wear a hat for his uniform!
   
4. Item. I use my Kindle to read books, and my Kindle deserves protection!
   
5. Item. Cars have very useful trunks, but in order for them to be useful you have to be able to see where you're driving and when it's raining that calls for windshield wipers!
   
6. Item. In order for capes to look effectively dashing, you need wind, which fans make!

I personally have a magnetic folio case and I absolutely love it. Besides protecting your kindle, it also feels amazing in your hand and gives you better grip while reading. Also, it makes it so you just open the cover and your screen turns on, rather than needing to press the button. It may sound insignificant, but its a game changer for me. I highly recommend getting one.

Here's the one I have: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EYW9DSU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_IUNpzb89TXMW0

my go-to recommendation is always OMOTON brand cases

I'm not sure, is this the one you're talking about? https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Universal-Keyboard-Android-devices/dp/B00GWGLUZ0

At that point though, the price difference is less between the S3 and the Zenpad, so are the improved specs worth the extra cost for the S3?

Is Microsoft keyboard this one- https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Universal-Keyboard-Android-devices/dp/B00GWGLUZ0 ?

The microsoft universal keyboard is really great, I love traveling with it.

Would that work with this case attatched?

Fintie NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet K1 SmartShell Case - Ultra Slim Lightweight Stand Cover with Auto Wake/Sleep Feature for 2015 NVIDIA Shield Tablet K-1 8.0 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MN98ATE/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apap_YeQTkThGKUA6V

I have the Fintie SmartShell case, and I love it! It protects the whole of the tablet as opposed to just the screen from the Nvidia official case. It's a solid plasic build with a fold-around magnetic cover that functions as a stand and a sleep/wake mechanism. It is less than half the price of the Nvidia official one! xD

http://www.amazon.com/Fintie-NVIDIA-SHIELD-Tablet-SmartShell/dp/B00MN98ATE

I recommend this case :)

before I say anything I should note mines rooted and I freeze anything that I don't need at the time including nvidia apps that don't need to be constantly running when I'm not using them which gives me a boost in battery...battery depends on what you do really I can get between 5 (high end games and demanding emulators) to 10 (low end games and nvidia grid) hours


as for how it feels I use this case for the best feel http://www.amazon.com/Fintie-NVIDIA-SHIELD-Tablet-SmartShell/dp/B00MN98ATE

I recently ordered a custom Timbuk2 bag to replace my sleeve, needed some more room and thought since I'm starting school again I'd splurge on a nice one I can use for work in a couple years too.

That said, Timbuk2 does have some smaller ones that sound like the size you're looking for. Not sure how much you want to spend but worth checking out.

I am using this for my sp4 m3

I can fit my charger and my display adapter in it. I just toss this in my large back for uni and had nothing happen to it, eventhough I keep heavy books in their too.
I am afraid though,that the zipper is very close to my device so I might go for the sleeve version with no zippers.
But as far as right now (3 months of usage) there are no scratches or any damage caused by zipper touching my surface.

https://www.amazon.com/Inateck-Microsoft-Surface-Tablet-Sleeve/dp/B00XJBDBUI/ref=zg_bs_3012930011_2

20 bucks.

I bought this one for my SO. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XJBDBUI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Very similar to the Procase. Almost practically the same considering how its advertised. Just smells like dank vagina once first open it.

Not sure if it's what you're looking for but I have this one and I like it.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XJBDBUI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I carry mine (with the type cover attached) in one of these, and I really like it. Fits into my backpack easily enough, or I can carry it with the handle.

I got the affordable Inateck Sleeve Case. It fits the SP4 with type cover nicely, though I keep the pen kind of sticking out of the front zipper pocket on it. Note I usually keep this inside of my laptop backpack for work, or a duffel bag when traveling light or visiting. So it is not my primary case/bag. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XJBDBUI

Pros: Cheap (< 20 USD), High quality materials and build, secure fit

Cons: Corners of type cover sometimes end up getting bent, wish there were a better solution for pen storage

If you're talking about the case, This is the one I've seen

Btw if you want a cheaper one, while searching I saw some more cases with their own stands. The stand wasn't metal like this one tho, it was like a typical iPad stand where it folds to hold the device up. Just search for "surface pro 4 cases" on Amazon im sure you'll see it

Mine SP4 lives in the UAG (http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Feather-Light-Composite-Aluminum-Military/dp/B016ATD48O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1462397656&sr=8-1&keywords=uag+surface+pro+4) and occasionally comes out when I'm sitting on the couch surfing.

It's a great case - yes it'adds bulk but still way slimmer and lighter than my old laptop :)

(edit: and it get's a lot of positive comments regarding it's looks)

Cheers.

Hi, you meant this right? I wanted to get this but hesitated many times.

BTW, I use a SP4 i5 majorly for tether shooting and some office work (remotely) and been looking for a good surface case, can you recommend any? Looking at this UAG CASE

Thanks

https://www.amazon.com/URBAN-ARMOR-GEAR-Microsoft-Feather-Light/dp/B016ATD48O/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=surface+pro+uag&qid=1571184055&sr=8-3#aw-udpv3-customer-reviews_feature_div

If I can make a recommendation... The Kensington Black Belt Case allows you to use the kickstand on the Surface Pro, which is better than the one in the UAG case. Still works with the type cover, holds the Surface Pen, and is a bit cheaper.

(Yes, I am biased; I worked on the engineering team who makes it).

the exact listing I purchased has been out of stock for several years, but it's a very common design. here's one I found

Back pocket maybe, front no way. I did see though on the "customers who also bought this" suggestions for some like smaller fountian pen carriers, maybe something like this might work.

Bought this in Feb 2016, and it's working well. I keep 2 larger pens on one side, a pencil, sharpie and another pen and some ink cartridges on the other.

pen case initially made for a stylus but we made some changes around here

I was more so focused on the stand one like this seems like it would be a good choice

iPad stand

https://www.amazon.com/Tablet-Stand-Adjustable-Lamicall-reader/dp/B01DBV1OKY/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1522715946&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=ipad+pro+10.5+holder&psc=1


Or maybe a folio case will do some good?

Might not be the exact one, but it is basically this

Thanks. I thought it was a stand and didn't realize it was a case/stand/Smart Case like thing. I have one too but I was looking for one that was a standalone...stand.

Sort of like this this. But I didn't know if this one in particular was reliable/quality.

What about this on amazon?

I have the box for the ipad but not the pencil. Also I do have month to month applecare which I can try to transfer or just let it finish out.

I picked up the Tomtoc 11-inch Tablet Sleeve because I needed something so I could pack the iPad Pro 11 in a bag for work. It has a pocket for the pencil and a cable. Have a bigger version from Tomtoc for my Surface Pro, the quality is really nice for the price.

Edit: I have the Apple Smart Folio (not the keyboard cover) on the iPad and it fits perfectly

I went with this one by TomToc. Almost more like a slim laptop bag. It offers good protection and has soft insides but the main reason I chose it is that it has some great pockets. I want to be able to comfortably hold a charger in it as well, and many of the sleeves have little to no storags.

I’d get the TomToc sleeve thing https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KHJOXOM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_M6CNDbG263SHH) from amazon

I had it and loved it, however I’d also check if the Apple Leather Sleeve is still on sale at Target, got mine brand new for $30 and LOVE IT! But for $130 it might not be worth it for you

For my 10.5, this sleeve is great -

as is this bag to carry it and more -

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075LCHMTJ

I've been using this one with this back on it and it fits just fine. I stick the pencil in the front pocket (well... it's also in this because I have a 'buy all the cheapish things' problem). So far everything is hunky-dory.

I got the Smart Keyboard as I am trying to use it as a laptop replacement-ish. But I also just picked up THIS. If Apple ever releases a 10.5" silicone back I will probably get that as well. So far on Amazon all I've seen are transparent backs (that support smart keyboard) and I would prefer something grey or black.

I got this one for my 11 pro https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KHJOXOM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

There's a very soft material inside of it. In addition, the pockets fit my charger and extra cables.

I purchased this sleeve and really enjoy it.

I do not have the same case you have but I have the Apple Smart Keyboard and I can put the iPad in there with that and there is enough room to also put the pencil in the main compartment between the iPad and the zipper. So I would think that you could probably get that case inside the sleeve even with the pencil extension.

So a couple things the poetic cases are pretty awesome and so cheap that I thought they were too cheap and held of buying them for a bit.

iPad Air 3 Case (10.5 Inch, 2019), iPad Pro 10.5 Case, Poetic Flexible Soft Transparent TPU Clear Back Cover with Pencil Holder, Compatible with Apple Smart Keyboard and Smart Cover, Lumos, Clear https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N4LHPZE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_tAQHDbH7TAW53

The default keyboard IMO is much better than people give it credit for, I have no issues typing on it or using it. Also since they haven’t changed it you can find it on sale for a lot less than msrp. Apple Pencil comes with the charging adapter so you don’t have to plug it into the iPad, and it doesn’t need to be charged all the time. Also since it is the same pencil you can find some good deals on it as well still a bit much.
Personally in the same situation I found a used iPad Pro 10.5 64gb with pencil and keyboard for 450 and have no regrets (maybe 64gb)

I bought this case.

I just ordered a poetic case from AMZ, should be in today.

I use and love the Poetic Lumus soft case. Mine is the transparent grey version and I could not be happier.

EDIT: lol, why on earth am I being downvoted

I just looked for something on Amazon with lots of reviews that averaged high. I got a case last year for my Pro, I didn’t like the two piece design of the Apple stuff but wanted something to cover the back when I went outside and laid it on the picnic table and such. Something similar to this




https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06X6LSBZ6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_PvWbAbE3TN9QH




Once you find something you like the looks of you can probably find it on eBay for half price and free shipping. They will be listed under various brands, I got mine off eBay for under $10 about a year and a half ago, use it everyday.

Check out the esr smart case

https://www.amazon.com/ESR-9-7-inch-Lightweight-Function-Microfiber/dp/B06X6LSBZ6

I use a third party (ESR) smart case and no screen protector. I really can't stand screen protectors on the iPad (I've tried!), although I do have one on the phone.

My iPad Air 2 lives in my bag "as is" with the case, and it's 1 year old, hasn't got a single scratch on it.

This is what I have for my Air 2 (read the reviews):

link to case on amazon

I got the version with a holder for the pencil and it's great. Good texture, fits well, and holding up great. My only complaint would be that the covered
powe and volume buttons are a little clunky to hit, not bad at all though.

I got this one for the 10.5 -- assume they make one for the 9.7

It works well so far.

Arriving this weekend.

• the bonus - it hides the apple logo. :)

I have these two:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MZ79FAM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They're both good.

It’s a great stylus, love mine. On a side note, the ZUGU muse case has the best stylus storage implementation I’ve seen in a iPad Pro 2018 case to date. It’s definitely worth the ~$60-70 price tag (depending on size of iPad) imo. Tons of adjustment for tilting and the reviews are stellar (I own one as well, definitely recommend)

I have the same fears and doubts. Most cases seem to be extremely fragile on their own, let alone with an apple pencil attached/wirelessly charging. I'm currently looking at the SUPCASE UB Pro Series and the Muse Case.


The muse seems great to work with, but seems to lack protection.
The SUPCASE seems to have great protection, but kinda unbalanced when standing.

Do not buy an apple one. It is really bad. Amazon one will do fine.

This case is probably the best to buy

https://www.amazon.de/ZUGU-Case-Schutzh%C3%BClle-praktischer-magnetischer-Black-2018-iPad-Pro-11/dp/B07H7VK7K8/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=2K711NLAHBTBN&keywords=zugu+case+ipad+pro+11&qid=1559131410&s=ce-de&sprefix=Zugu+case+%2Celectronics%2C180&sr=1-1-spons&psc=1

As far as accessories go, I definitely recommend the Apple Pencil. I personally didn't go with the smart keyboard - instead, I opted for a foldable bluetooth keyboard. Others swear by the Apple Keyboard, but I just couldn't afford it.

I've heard amazing things about the Zugu Muse Case, but I personally got the Ztotop Case.

I wound up going with the 11" iPad Pro because it felt better? I recommend going to an Apple Store/Best Buy/Costco/etc., and just handling both devices IRL. I thought I wanted the 12.9", but after holding it for a while, it felt too big.

Check out the the Muse case by Zugu, should cover most of those bases (except for #4)

zugu case slim sturdy and different viewing angles

iPad Pro Case

I have to say this is one of the best cases you can ever get, just check out the reviews. Study enough to protect your investment but slim and stylish. I use this along with the Apple magic keyboard 2. I have tried others but I keep going back to the Apple keyboard. It connects quickly, battery life is amazing, you can use shortcuts (including the top function keys). You won’t regret the Apple keyboard. It’s small enough that it doesn’t bother me and the space in my backpack and it’s not always attached. I don’t need it all the time.

Link if anyone else is curious.

of course! because it's laptops!

tablets require other level of protection. this case is good for laptops, but it's not protect from bend and this make it unusable for tablets. modern tablets can be bend easily, so you want to carry it, you have to think of sufficient level of protection.

what the author of the video do is like working with knifes or other sharp staff and then whine if he cut his finger.

if i will be the owner of 12.9 ipad then i will use something like this

Zugu makes a really nice Italian leather one. It also has magnets built it so you can hang it on the refrigerator or something magnetic. Has spot for 1st gen and 2nd gen Apple Pencil

I'm using this "paperlike" screen, but only because it provides enough friction to make my writing and drawing less slippery: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QMV54LY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And I'm using this case:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K1M4PHY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

That's about all one can do. Once you handle the iPad Pro for a while, you'll realize how "unbendable" it is. It's pretty solid. Just treat it reasonably carefully and you shouldn't have a problem.

Reviews highly recommended this one for good reason. I am more than happy with it.

Oi so expensive:/

I’m thinking of getting ESR iPad 9.7 2018/2017 Case, Lightweight Smart Case Trifold Stand with Auto Sleep/Wake Function, Microfiber Lining, Hard Back Cover Compatible for The Apple iPad 9.7 iPad 5th / 6th Generation,Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06X6LSBZ6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_JSZ-BbV0TTWA3

This is all you need. Get a smart case with it from Apple. Amazing case that I genuinely think about how happy I am with it on a daily basis.

Edit to add: You don't need the smart cover with the keyboard. The regular cover works perfect and adds virtually no size at all.

Just got one of these: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D4ABOZS/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_H1brub1NY6JVW works a treat.

Here you go. They made a few variations of it.
