How durable is the S Pen that comes with the Note 5

Considering buying the Note 5 but I need to know just how durable the S Pen is? I've had phones with pens in the past that would snap like a twig and they weren't cheap to buy.

You are considering buying the Note 5...?

I've had my Note 5 since launch day and so far, so good. I guess it depends how you use it. I don't treat it lightly and know it's not indestructible, so I'm fairly careful with it. Especially making sure I insert it with the point/tip in first.

ETA I just checked mine and it seems pretty strong, so just curious, what would you do to cause the Spen to break?

Mine broke after 1 week. Top separated from the bottom and the spring went flying and was lost. promptly went to TMO store and got a replacement phone. I used the spen everyday for various tasks, mainly sketching and writing notes.

It's put together with a small.amount of glue from what I could tell, and broke lose from clicking the clicking mechanism. It shot out of the pen housing when I was trying to eject it.

here is a photo as it was laying on the tmobile counter.

Yes, that is correct. Android Central has a feature where people that just want to ask a question and do not have an account, can post a question. They show up as AC Question. You see most of these posts in our "Ask A Question" forum, but sometimes will be in the other forums.
