Looking for a stylus: Bamboo Stylus Feel might be what you need…

If you find that your stylus that was included with your new tablet like most of us, just isn’t the best. Well, take a look at the Bamboo Stylus Feel. The Bamboo Stylus Feel makes a great stylus, especially if you like the feel of a real pen with the ability to just put in your pocket or shirt pocket like you would normally put your pen.

The Bamboo Stylus Feel has a matte finish, making it a pleasure to hold to write and take notes. The matte finish helps grip the stylus in your hand much better and prevent it from sliding through your fingers as you write. The Bamboo Stylus Feel has a cap that protects your stylus tip, by the way you also get replacement stylus tip included.

With the extra included stylus tip, you get the option to change the stylus tip to a softer feel, this gives you almost a paper writing experience. Keep in mind that the Bamboo Stylus Feel will work only on Wacom digitizer tablets and all Galaxy Note tablets and phones.

I will be holding on to the Bamboo Stylus feel for my daily writing and note taking on my Surface Pro 2 and other tablets. I use OneNote for taking notes, sign PDF files from email, and I actually create emails with the stylus using Outlook 2013.

Samsung Galax Note 3 Pink Edition Unboxing and Overview

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9005 Blush Pink Edition

Samsung has made available the Galaxy Note 3 in either Classic White or Jet Black. We have heard and seen that the Galaxy Note 3 in Pink would be released, well looks like if you really want to get your hands on the Blush Pink Galaxy Note 3, you are going to have to import it. You can head over to Negrielectronics and place your order.

Here is a quick video review of the Galaxy Note 3 in the Blush Pink and I also ran a Quadrant test to compare the difference vs a US version of the Galaxy Note 3.

Remember there is three International versions. This is the N9005 that supports 4G LTE, not in the US though and there is the N900 which is 3G version and the N9002 which is a Dual SIM . If you are going to purchase a International version, I recommend you get the N9005. Even though you can’t use the LTE here in the US, you will have better resale value if you ever sold and so far works fairly well on AT&T H+ 4G network.

Surface Pro 2: Incipio Feather Ultra Thin Snap On Case Review

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2W9W7dO7X_M

If you are like most that like to keep your tablet in a nice case to help prevent scratches or dents. Incipio is selling the Feather Ultra Thin Snap-On Case for the Surface Pro 2 and also works for the first Surface Pro.

In the video I cover some details on the build quality and also how well the openings to the ports are. If you plan on attaching the stylus to the side, you won't like this case. The USB port opening worked great, as I tested a flash drive with the case.

If you plan on purchasing a screen protector or already have one, you can skip purchasing the Incipio Feather Ultra Thin Snap-On case, as this will left your screen protector, see in video.

Over all, the Incipio Feather Ultra Thin Snap-On case seem to be of lower build quality. The case is priced at $39.99 so you would expect a bit more solid case.
