Samsung patent reveals plan to turn S Pen into a transforming kickstand

08 February, 2016
The patent was filed in Q3 last year, too late for the Note5, perhaps in time for the Note6.

I usually prop it up with my somewhat heavy key pouch to make it stay put.

    PLOT TWIST:
    The S-Pen has to be purchased for 100 extra bucks like the Apple-Pen

It's a bit of a bother to hold your phone whilst you eat. You can prop up the phone with various objects, but a simple, convenient stand such as this proposed implementation would be most welcome for many people.

        I have an idea and I don't want to make money out of this. Why don't they just call it the other guy and make it in many colors or colors that guys would like. Then make a female version of call at the other girl or maybe guys want another girl to assist. That way when you say I need help you're asking for hands from someone else correct? Why not just call it the other guy or girl?

                        You can do that already with the note 3. Try it.

                                  Oh man. I heard someone did this like over a year ago with the Note 3. I tried it but not so stable.

                                    People always ask for something new... So they have came up with something new now... So get it, no matters if its useful or useless...
