S Pen Works Remarkably Well as a Kickstand
Thanks to a reddit user (dr_f***), it turns out you can insert the rear of the S Pen sideways into the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and end up with a pretty usable kickstand. It goes to show that 9 months in with the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, it is still full of surprises. However it is not sturdy enough for you to use the touchscreen. It works only well for viewing.Source: http://goo.gl/InqsQe
Use a Ballpoint Pen and a Flip Cover
Another hack to prop up the Note 3 is to use a standard ballpoint pen after turning over the flap on a flip cover completely. It is more sturdy and the touch screen can be used gently. But be careful when doing this for long or even short periods with flip cover cases made with stretchy material. Your flap may never close the same way again if it's not made with a resilient material.Use a Mousepad and a Flip Cover
The last hack to prop the Note 3 is to use an old mousepad and a flip cover. Just flip the flap over nearly all the way, and let the note 3 sit horizontally and propped up by its own flap. The mosepad adds friction to hold it in place. Out of the 3 solutions, this offers the most stable and least amount of chance of wear on your Note 3 or flip covers. And it should be stable enough to comfortably use the touchscreen without worrying that it's going to fall over or stretch out the flap.
