Pogo, Stylis or Whatever

I have the targus from best buy as well. Unfortunately it's only 3 weeks old and the rubber tip has developed a tear. Not sure if it's just a defect or what. I bought another one cause I liked the feel so much. If this one doesn't last longer than 3 weeks, I'll be rather disappointed

THIS is by far the best stylus option for the iPad.

I Was Wondering How Long It Would Last...

I hope mine last longer than three weeks! I like this stylus because it doesn't leave finger prints. The sausage stylus looks intriguing but I can't imagine using them in a staff meeting with my iPad and still keep any respect I might still have with my totally intel/microsoft is the only business solution oriented colleagues.

Thanks all, and especially MattIM for the screen shot. Been to Best-Buy three times and each time they tell me on the truck tomorrow. Ho-Hum! Typical for Best Buy. Some times I wonder how they stay in business.

Fingers are good, but in this case not for shaky hands

I would say take it back. Three weeks is ridiculous! Best Buy has beat me out of so much money with reneging on their warranties, I say if it doesn't hold up, especially in such a sort time, get your money back or a replacement

Sears has them for 9.99

I replaced my box wave stylus with one from Just Mobile. It writes very smoothly. It is a little wider in circumference which i like but it doesn't have a clip on it which means you have to carry it loose in your pocket which I don't like. However it writes very well and that's what I need it to do.

Does anyone make an iPad stylus that is more the length of an actual pen?
The styli I have found to date are all unnaturally short and just don't sit well in my hand.

Check out Griffin Technology. They have one that has a clip and looks like a pen. It cost $19.99 and it has replaced my Just Mobile pen as of today.

That is the same stylus available as a

Targus product from Best Buy. See picture previously posted earlier in this thread. I don't know if you are in the USA, or where you are in the USA (since you priced this stylus in the common American practice of just stating the $ symbol without a sovereign mark, i.e., US$). The Targus product from Best Buy does not have a name on it.

I haven't visited the Sears store in my town, but if they offer the same Targus/Griffin product for US$9.99, I'm going to buy a couple more of these as stocking stuffers!

Griffin, Targus and Boxwave are all the same rebranded stylus.

I've been using the Pogo Sketch stylus for five months.
After seeing this thread, I decided to buy a Targus (Future Shop in Canada, 19.99) stylus. Here's what I think...

The Targus stylus is slightly shorter (approx half an inch) and thicker. I wish it was longer and narrower like the Pogo Sketch.
The tip of the Targus is better than the "foam tip" of the Pogo Sketch. It glides better on the screen.
After using the Targus for a few hours, I think I prefer the Targus, but it's not a night-and-day difference. If it had the same rubber tip, but a smaller diameter like the Pogo Sketch, it would probably be the perfect stylus (the fact that it's wide makes it difficult to be precise/accurate).
I also wish the rubber tip was a bit more rigid, a bit less flexible.

From the first day forward I found the hands and fingers of a 72 year old too unsteady for the iPad. Someone loaned me a Pogo (I guess that is what it is called) and I found I have the control needed.

Is there one of these devices that is to be preferred over another. I need to return the loaner and would like to buy perhaps several so as to have a spare.

Anyone out there with some suggestions

Hi Jerry, I'm Miky2 and just joined here. I posted a, whatever they're called, post, I think, asking if anyone had heard of STYLUS-R-Us because this guy I know mentioned he'd heard they were awesome but I'm trying to find someone who bought from them before I do so I don't waste anymore money. Their site is really wild but who cares as long as their produce is good. I guess if I can[t find anyone I'm going to buy the Roger iWand for my iPad because after watching the youtube videos on their site, omggg. It is unreal. Hopwe this helps.

Hiyall

It looks like all of you are going thru what I had to and I'm sure others are too. Buying and trying all of the styluses to see which one works best. I've read all of the comments on this page and I've owned (past tense, they're in the trash now) all of the models everyone of you have mentioned and though some of them are just okay, they are nothing compared to that company called stylus-r-us. I can not figure out what they are using for a tip, but I assure you, you will not believe your eyes once you touch it to an icon. There is no pressure at all required just like they advertise and show in their youtube clips. I have the Roger iWand for my iPad and the Maserati for my iPhone4 and OMG I am so angry I blew all that money on the others. Their web site is a little abnormal, but hey, I'm not going there to buy their site or judge it. Their products are awesome. Hope this helps all of you out. Wish someone had told me of it before I blew all I did. Hey Miky2? Go get one. They are unreal.

Why are the Stylus-R-Us styluses not sold in any store?
