elagoPremium Aluminum Stylus Pens for All Touch Screen Tablets/Cell Phones [Black]

I am always on the hunt for a good stylus because the pen that came with my phone is just a bit too small for my hand pain. I used to be pretty loyal to bamboo but my hands have felt otherwise over the last few years. I have a fat cosmonaut that I have loved for a few years but I wanted something a little smaller as an alternative. This has a really good weight, shape, and feel. It glides really well and has been perfect for some of the more precise things I do on my phone. The red/pink is a really nice color and the satin finish is tops. It came with a spare nib too which is awesome. It seems like the nib is really sturdy without compromising on function. Overall, this is an excellent product and at a really good price point. Definitely recommend for anyone, especially if you have hand or finger issues that make a smaller or round stylus difficult.

Nice stylus. Feels nice and smooth. Works well on tablet.

I bought this stylus along with an iPad, case/keyboard. The stylus was the first to arrive by days!! This is also my first stylus. I love this thing, it works so well with my iPad (6th gen, 2018). My iPad does not have a screen protector and this product works every time I touch the screen. This is my first iPad and stylus and I really still have to get used to writing. Currently, I use this as a substitute to the good ol finger. It feels good to just be able to hold the stylus like a pencil and use it to touch the screen. When I received my stylus, I would touch things with it and it would make a sound, turns out the tip was a little loose, now there is no sound.I have to get used to having a stylus. I am not sure where to put it. The case that I have comes with a loop for holding a much skinnier stylus, like the Apple Pencil, but this does not fit in there at all! It does fit in a pants pocket, so I may do that.I researched so many different styluses and came across this one, I am so happy I bought this. My thinking was, I wanted to get a stylus and see how it was, see if I would like it. I don’t know if all the fancy styluses work like a finger on touch screens, I am guessing not. This was cheap, uses no batteries, can be used to just touch the screen of the devices, doesn’t roll off the desk, easy to hold, and a great product. It was my beginner stylus, but this doesn’t have to be, ANYONE can get this stylus. Perhaps someone reading this is just plain sick of the other ones, I imagine this would work just fine.I should add, the tip is pretty fat and when I do write with it, it can be a little cumbersome and difficult to find where you left off on the word. I mean, sense the tip is big, my sentences look a bit more sloppier than normal because it is hard to decifer where on the tip the digital pencil in the iPad picks up.I also think that sense this works on all touch screens and has no battery, there is probably things I cannot mark up because of that. I think with the Apple Pencil, you might be able to actually write right on a document. With this stylus, you have to rely on apps that have a built in writing device. Like, when you save a screenshot, you can write on it. Or notes, this app allows you to write with your finger. I guess to make this clearer the best way to say this is... anytime you can write with your finger, you can write with this stylus. Therefore, it might limit what you can do.Conclusion: I am really glad I bought this item! I might buy another one. I recommend it to anyone unsure about using styluses, or anyone who just wants a simple stylus. I think I will still use this to write, with practice I can probably make it work!

This review was admittedly inspired by a review I wrote the other day for another elago product, the Stylus Hexa that I recently ordered to replace the Grip that I have been previously using as a daily stylus. While writing the review, I looked up the date that I purchased the Grip and was amazed to realize it was nearly three years ago. That got me thinking, anything that is a $15 - $20 (USD) product that I use almost every day and is still in as fine of shape as my elago Stylus Grip deserves some praise, although I do have a suggestion or two as to how my ideal stylus might be just a bit different.The elago Stylus Grip that I use is in the Jean Indigo color and is in my opinion a near perfect blue. The color on the stylus shows no signs of wearing in the places that I hold it, even after three years of use. The only marking or scuffing of the color has occurred around the flat top of the unit where admittedly I have used it to tap beats on any number of counters and tabletops. Other than that, even though I keep it in a backpack pouch and my pocket with keys, pens and whatever else the finish is still near new looking.This stylus has a good weight to it, although is not heavy enough to make my hand ache or tired from prolonged use. This unit is also slightly shorter, but wider than its sibling the Stylus Hexa and yet the Stylus Grip (appropriately named) feels effortlessly comfortable to hold. Specifically I hold this stylus as I would any other writing tool and use it for regular navigation and some writing as well on my Apple iPad Mini 2 and my Nexus 6 and it performs equally consistent and accurately on each.A couple of suggestions for anyone who cares to listen (wink, wink, elago), first I believe it would be nice to have either an optional attachment for, or otherwise a built in clip for each of your models of stylus. Of course, I know that you do make a model that is the Stylus with Clip (I have purchased one of these for my girlfriend and she enjoys it) but for my sized hand and style of use this unit is too thin and far too short to use comfortably and regularly. For work I like to carry pen, highlighters and such in my back pocket and a clip on this stylus would be greatly useful. Another note I’d like to make is that while the rubber tip is accurate, responsive and clearly well made, it does drag a bit more against the glass of my devices then I’d like during some uses. It would be nice, maybe to have another option for a tip material if one could also keep the existing benefits that I’ve previously outlined.I just now realized that I haven’t explained the need for replacing this unit, and that is that I dropped my Stylus Grip and it landed tip side first, that bent the metal frame of the stylus around the tip. The unit is actually still perfectly usable but I can no longer remove the tip to replace it. I will end this review by restating how surprised I was that I’ve owned and used this stylus for three years and so much more impressed that it is in as good of shape overall as it is.I will leave you with these two links to the other (2) elago products I’ve mentioned above that I would also recommend:-This is for the elago Stylus with Clip, I ordered the white one for my girlfriend who enjoys it for gaming on her iPad Mini and I recommend for users with small to average hands.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004X5KUA8?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s0-This is for the elago Stylus Hexa that I’m using as a replacement for my Stylus Grip.
