Accessories

[DanielPine]

What type/kind of accessories should I consider getting for this? I'm looking into ArmorSuit's products. Not a big fan of huge cases.


Thanks

The only accessories I have added are a 64gb SD card, Samsung book cover (grey), and the Samsung Spen Holder Kit. I'm not a fan of screen protectors, but if you look at a the other posts in this forum you will see some discussion on those.

I love my Samsung S-Pen with eraser. It's larger than the stock Note pen and more comfortable in the hand. I picked up mine at a Tmobile store. In order to use you need to either remove the stock pen or just pull it out a little but leave it in the tube.

You can change a setting so you can leave the S-pen in its holder while using an additional pen.

Settings, s-pens, un check battery savings.

I got a tip on this today from another person. I had overlooked this. Actually I hadn't understood the the cryptic explanation accompanying it. Works great. Now I'll see how it affects battery life.

You can also change the sound of removal and insertion of spen. Mine sounds like a lightsaber activating and deactivating.

How much is the Samsung s-pen?

Think I saw it Samsung's website for 30.

that's pricey for a pen. I thought it'd be like $10 or something!

Amazon.com: Exact(TM) X-Line TPU Case for SamSung Galaxy Note 8.0 Clear: Computers & Accessories

using this while i wait for my fIipcases that are ordered...adds grip but no bulk!
i also have the usb otg adapter that allows me to transfer files back and forth between the note 8 and my flash drive.

The images show that the front cover doesn't have any folds. I wonder how it works to prop up the note in the two viewing angles per the product description.

exactly....not sure how i feel about that...looks like my note 2 case....would love to hear someone's impressions who use it. i ordered a case from that company and i'm still waiting for it...i'm in US and it shipped from Hong Kong, I'm so spoiled by amazon prime that the wait is killing me.

If you look at some of the pics on the website for that case from Hong Kong, it shows it propped up, but the Note is facing the inside. LOL. A lot of good that does. I'm thinking maybe if you fold the front back and prop it up like they show, it might work. I have a Moko Slim Folio case that I like from Amazon, but I don't like holding it with the front folded back behind it, it's good for a stand though. I Might just go with a TPU silicone case like on my 10.1 for use at home and the Folio when Mobile with it.

I have the Moko Slim also and I know what you mean about holding it folded... but I have a trick that works for me. Fold back and insert the front cover into the tab. Now hold the with your left hand and get your fingers in the strap thing. Hope that helps.

At home, I currently use a this tpu case. For 4 bucks you can't lose and it add just enough grip and border lip without adding bulk.

Thanks for the tip on the Moko Cover, that actually is nicer than holding it flat, because you can grip it a little better.
As far as the TPU case I'm considering getting the Exact TPU case, I'm waiting for Amzer to get some of their TPU cases in Stock. I just want to see what the Amzer cases look like. They are a lot more expensive, but I have one for my 10.1 and love it. I like it because on my 10.1 I had a TPU case like the Exact case and because the sides of the case didn't overlap the front that much, the edges would peel away when holding it with one hand. The Amzer case on my 10.1 comes over the edges and covers up the bezel of the device, so only the screen shows. For $4 I may get the Exact case though in Black
