Re: what do YOU use the s pen for?

Need to learn this!

Only thing I've used it for is to do a scrolling screen capture

I just use it for making screen caps and then sending that to someone or posting it somewhere.

Everything. I'm a huge fan of the pen. I barely use my finger with it.

How many people use the screen off note taking

Screen writing. I take a photo of the room I am measuring then write in the measurements.

Scratching my ear canal.

Quite frequently.

Pretty much never. I guess my brainstorms just aren't very urgent.

That's fine, just don't insert it the wrong way or you'll be looking at brain surgery.

Using a pen/stylus for me goes back over 20 years when I owned an Apple Newton. Then I owned Palm Pilots and various other PDA's in the 90's and early 2000's.

Then Steve Jobs stood up and delivered his snarky comment about "A stylus? I have 10 of them".

Well, like other things that Jobs talked out his a$$ about, there's actually tons of reasons, awesome reasons, for using a pen/stylus. He just didn't know.

Besides taking freehand notes in meetings (hey Steve, good luck with your finger doing that), sketching design ideas is unbelievably simple, productive and fun with a pen. Also, I find navigating around the Note 5 much faster and far more accurate with a pen. This emerged over time when I found myself pulling out the pen if I knew I'd be poking around screens for a few mtinutes. It's really something you don't know you need until you get used to it. Then using your finger sort of feels like using a baseball bat (no I don't have fat fingers) when navigating around the interface.

I'd suggest that if your wondering what the pen could be used for, you should just make a habit of using it a bit, then see how well your finger works after that. I imagine everyone is different, but for me, the pen is a must.

I used it as it was designed for, taking note, sketching, annotate, etc... I am using the pen every day.

This may be a stupid question, if you use the Spen a lot will it markup the screen?

Some people have complained about it, but it's really hard to say, since there are so many variables in the mix.

I always suggest using a screen protector and in my experience, there are zero scratches on my protector, even though I use the S-Pen all the time.

Thank you, I also have a screen protector just had it done today from AT&T store. but there is a halo around the edges they told me wait a few days and it should go away. I don't think that will happen
