Your phablet's large screen is perfect for viewing movies and music videos wherever you are, but as gorgeous as the Note 3's screen is, holding it gets old and you can't always find something to prop it up at a decent movie-watching angle.

But there's a secret you might not know about your Galaxy Note 3, and that's that the geniuses over at Samsung made the S Pen multi-purpose, whether they intended to do so or not.

Discovered by a Reddit user dr_fuck (sorry to those of you with virgin eyes), this trick is all about knowing how your S Pen "fits" in its holder. Pull out the S Pen and insert the blunt end in the holder like shown.

The key is having the printed "Samsung" text on the S Pen facing you upside-down.
