1) Adjectives and nouns are also often used in this construction:
N/A + とはいう + ものの

易いとはいうものの、まだ分からない。
Although it's easy, I still don't get it.

2) The (usual) construction for nouns is still missing:
N + である + ものの

It's also used in the model sentence: うけるつもりであるものの.

Thanks for the info. Verified it, and added it to the page (also made a small correction with the な-adj construction that was already on there.)

In the how to use section, it says to use the dictionary form when using a verb and yet, in the first example it uses the casual past tense for 買う. Should the how to use the verb form say 'Casual form' rather than 'dictionary form'?

Yea - dictionary is a bit too restrictive. Verified and updating it now!

I'm a little confused about the difference between ものの　and のに. Are there times when these two are interchangeable? In my mind, these mean the same thing.
