I got PogoSketch by TenOne for Mothers Day. I don't know how much it costs but I like it because it helps to reduce the fingerprints on my screen. Since I didn't start off typing with a stylus my typing speed is slightly slower but it will improve with time, I'm sure. This stylus is supposed to be good for drawing/sketching but I haven't tried it out yet. It does work well with free writing and feels more natural than writing with my fingertip.
ReplyDeleteOops. I put this up in the wrong post earlier.
ReplyDeleteI talked with Amy, and she suggested I post these. I've tried a couple of stylus (styli?) instead of relying on my finger. While the generic one I got from Target is ok (it's a Targus), it's a bit too skinny for my taste. My hand gets tired from holding it. So, I got an Alupen instead. It's chunkier. I love it! It comes in different colors and runs around $16-25 on Amazon. For those of you using Brushes on ipad that want something more like a brush with which to "paint," I've read great reviews on the Nomad Brush. It runs around $24. I haven't seen it around to test drive it. Let me know if any of you try it out. --Elisa
I got a Roocase stylus from Amazon.com on sale for $9. I like it a lot -- seems to work well and has a plug that goes into the headphone jack to keep it tethered to the iPad.
ReplyDeleteI have a Targus stylus and coupled with Sketchbook Express, or Underscore Notify (note-taking app) make an awesome experience. See my reviews in the app review doc.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the Acase stylus we found on Amazon for $10.

I got a Rocketfish stylus from Bestbuy for $16. I like using it, but its never handy so I have found that I don't use it much. Its easier to use my finger than find the stylus. After I bought mine I got one for my wife. In doing some research I discovered the cheap ones (I saw 3 packs for $9.99) should be avoided because the screen contact does not work as well.
ReplyDeleteI got the AYL Slim Capacitive from Amazon. I think I paid 12.95 for it. Seems to work well. I went for a medium price range since I had heard some negative comments about the cheaper ones.
ReplyDeleteActually just had some of my students compare their stylus to mine, and mine is FAR better - "not as squishy and easier to write with, doesn't drag."
ReplyDeleteHere's a nice review of various styli out there, along with a short video of a soon-to-be-coming-out stylus:

I have drawn with a PogoStick and like it, although I do not have experience with enough others for a good comparison. I like the one you guys have in your office and would like to order it whenever you have enough interested people.
