A tip for stylus users

Targus. I haven't had any problems with my purchase. You can find them best buy and online.

Griffin stylus

Hi,
As a Brit visiting the US, I found a great, soft tipped stylus at a store called Target. It is made by Griffin and is like a small pen, complete with clip.
I find it very tactile and I'm even using it in one hand to type with.

If you use the sylus without a screen protector, have you noticed any scratches from the stylus on the screen?

I use my Boxwave stylus without a screen protector. No scratches, or marks of any kind following using the stylus.
I still use quite a bit of screen cleaner though as there are times when I don't use the stylus.

Here is a good site that reviews several stylus. Just to note they say to stay far away from the dagi and the pogo as they lack in quality and functionality.

I am surprised, that the Griffin pen got no negatives in that review.

I find it has a really high resistance when handwriting notes. But since this is the only stylus I have, the other styluses may not be any better.

Stylus

I've tried a stylus from Boxwave and one from Griffin. Out of the box the Griffin was better but both dragged.

On recommendation from here I tried a little talc but didn't really make much difference for me. Inspired by the use of baby products I nervously used a little bit of baby oil and that seems to have done the trick. Note that I use a screen protector that I can replace if I need to!

So a little baby oil and it glides really smoothly and so far no damage to screen protector.

Happy scribbling...

Try one of the iFaraday models. They DO NOT drag. Period.

+1 on the ifaraday stylus. I bought the artist set after reading about them here. In addition to using them for drawing, I use them for writing on the screen. I bought Notetaker HD for my IPad, and the regular version for my IPod Touch. After a while my hand hurt from using my index finger too much, and holding a stylus feels more natural. The ifaraday models that I bought are a good length and thickness.

Another thumbs up for the Griffin. I got it when it was $7 on Amazon and I love it. It's very heavy and the tip is soft and I haven't had any issues with it. It's still cheaper on Amazon than Target.

Got myself the very same kit, from Stylus Sock, reviewed in the abovementioned test. Just love them! Sure, they have a very home made feel to them, but that's no problem with me. Have had no issues with scratching, nor aching wrists or fingers. And I use it everytime I'm on the pad. Which is almost always...
