I think this might be pretty negative, but I really don't want to shed a bad light on this phone, because I think it's a nice little phone, but I'd just like your thoughts on this.
So, what do you guys think of this "S Pen getting stuck when put in reverse" debacle?
Personally, I think it's primarily user error.
Many devices with a stylus, whether it's the Galaxy Note, Nintendo DS, LG G Stylo, my electronic dictionary and others, always stow in the same way; tip first, then body later. Every Note has the same method of stowing the stylus. If anyone tries to insert the S Pen backwards, it's either on the part of human idiocy, or negligence due to lack of attention.
That said, I think Samsung can do some things to minimize the risk. Aside from a warning that could be on the phone itself, I think a small redesign of the S Pen that stops it from fully getting into the slot when put in backwards can help.
Overall, all I can say is please pay attention to how you insert the S Pen. It's an S Pen, not a Pen S.
