Stylus Pen

User: Wanda Ball, Dec 31, 2011

Pros: Smaller than the one my husband uses, very responsive
Cons: More Colors

Company delivered in good time and the pen works great. Now I dont smudge the screen and constantly having to clean the finger marks off. Its very responsive and more accurate than my Finger. Thanks!

works great

works great

Accurate keying and smear-free screen

User: Susyn Stecchi, Nov 2, 2010

Pros: Keeps screen clean allows for accurate touchscreen keying and navigation
Cons: None, so far!

I am a new touchscreen user, and have been frustrated trying to key in letters accurately in my text messages and calendar entries, and with navigating through the phone screens (seems like my finger makes everything open that I dont want to open). With the Pogo Stylus, however, I am keying all my test in accurately yet still quickly, and confidently navigating through the screens, PLUS I dont make a smeary mess with my fingertips the screen is staying clean through all of this. The Pogo stylus has made using my touchscreen phone a joy! Like Id hoped it would be. (I dont have fat fingers, but it sure felt like I did!)

Received Mine Today

User: David Baird, May 11, 2010

Pros: Works Great
Cons: Just short of the same size of a pan and skinnier, takes a bit to get used to.

I just received my pen today in the mail. I bought the silver one and it works perfectly. The iPad screen picks up on the pen right away and it is VERY accurate. I highly suggest this item for people who are looking to take notes and who are also looking to write rather than type. Depending on the app that you use you will receive more options as to what you can do and how good the writting looks.

Almost Perfection

User: Blas Garcia, Apr 7, 2011

Pros: HTC Evo Shift 4G Respons perfect to every touch
Cons: If your using it to draw with the App Autodesk Sketchpad dont waste your time.

I use my HTC Evo Shift 4G to the point of almost replacing my laptop, the POGO Stylus helps me since my fingers are big. Every application I use with the Pogo Stylus is accurate, if your a person that uses their mobile phone as a portable office this is the Stylus for you.

Now if your a Digital Artist going mobile this is not the Stylus for you,
I hope to see a fine point Stylus for the HTC Evo Shift 4G.

Very Useful

User: Tracy McCants, Mar 9, 2011

Works great without a shield, with a clar shield, it has to be extra clean to work good. A great tool for people with big fingers and long nails.

Three-Peat!

User: Alan Xenos, Feb 2, 2011

Pros: Works great with my Incredible, Galaxy Tab, and my Lenovo S10-3t
Cons: Squishy tip is becoming slightly deformed

I bought this when I got my Galaxy Tab. I saw how nice it looked, and wanted to avoid getting smear marks all over it. This stylus goes above and beyond, even working with my capacitive-touch netbook (Lenovo S10-3t). Great deal for the price.

Good stylus

User: Jeffrey Marshall, Jan 3, 2011

Pros: Easy to use
Cons: -

Good quality product.

Best one Ive found

User: Michael Murphy, Dec 16, 2010

Pros: Sensitive touch, accurate placement
Cons: Just a bit thin for comfort

This is the best of several styli Ive tried. The screen reacts well to it, and it moves smoothly when dragging. Its good for sketching, and its accurate enough to draw decently, although I would prefer a more pointed tip. The barrel is a bit thin to hold comfortably, but I do have fairly large hands. Ive only had it for a couple of weeks, so I dont know how well the soft tip will hold up to heavy use, but so far it seems to be doing well.

All in all, its worth the price, and Id buy another if this one disappears.

Works Great on iPad and iPhone

User: Kevin B, May 12, 2010

Pros: Sturdy shaft, works as advertised, allows for better control of on-screen drawings, markups, etc.
Cons: Im worried the tip with rub off, a bit pricey, too short, easy to lose

I like the Pogo Sketch. If you are looking for a more detailed way to interact with your touchscreen, this is it.

Works exactly as promissed

User: Karl Varnam, May 4, 2010

Pros: I have large fingers and dont leave home without it
Cons: I found the plastic pocket clip broke easily but still use the stylo

Good product. Works exactly as advertised. I have large fingers and this solves that problem nicely. It goes everywhere my iphone and I go.

I found the plastic clip broke easily (may be me as I do physical work), but bought more than one and use the one with the broken clip at home.

Stylus does ok..could be better

User: Matt Beyers, Dec 15, 2010

Pros: Not Sticky
Cons: Too Squishy

Ok, so Ive tried out a few styluses (styli?) and I have to say that this one is ok. It has a foam-like tip that appears to be carbon impregnated and a metallic barrel. You need to be holding the barrel for the stylus to work (it is capacitive after-all). The tip tends to squish over time, becoming flatter. Especially if you press at all, which you are wont to do. However, it beats some other styli Ive seen that use a solid rubber tip, but that drag across the screen because they are sticky and squishy..bad combination.

Not worth $14.95 though - I picked one up on Amazon for $8 and considered it a fair deal. Watch out that you dont press too hard and scratch your screen though - oh, and the black ring between the tip and the metallic barrel does come unglued (I still have to re-glue mine).

All in all though, at least its functional.

Not 4 serious notetaking

User: Jenn Kurtz, May 16, 2010

Pros: Size (I have small hands), color (pink)
Cons: Too similar to my finger

Ive been looking for something more like a real pen... To completely replace taking a notebook to meetings. The writing is too large and sloppy, even though I write well/neat. If you attempt to write too small like on an app w/ lined paper... Nothing shows up at all. If ur looking to replace ur finger to avoid fingerprints ... It works great. But not so for a college student taking notes in school or someone in a meeting at work.

Works for casual tapping.

User: I Mitchell, May 19, 2011

Pros: light and manageable
Cons: have to tap more than once too often

Works will for menu selections type pace, but when tapping quickly during typing, taps to not take and have to repeat tap too often.

Not worht the Price

User: Mario Orlassino, May 5, 2011

Pros: None
Cons: Cant Scroll Screen

Its just good for holding in you finger to look important. When on all app screen and you try to scroll screen it opens the icon closest to where you attempted to scroll.. just not what i expected.

Too expensive for what it is

User: Joseph Toubes, Apr 1, 2011

this is one of the bigger rip offs, it is a piece of aluminum with a rubber tip. I got it because my fingers are fat, it seems and I hit two keys instead of one.

So I saw this and we have it. I find it not accurate, you have to hit the key straight on and it doesnt always deliver the pressure to make it worth using.

It now resides in my cup of shame, 14 dollars for what? it is worth about 50 cents. Id save my money if I were you. oH. it is made by apple for their product, but that isnt what is wrong with it.

Is OK

User: Bob G, Jan 7, 2011

Pros: Keeps screen clean, easy to use for fat-fingered people, attractive
Cons: felt? tip is came out of shape, sometimes difficult to hold

I was looking for a stylus for my Incredible. This fit the bill. However, it is sometimes difficult to grasp, and the tip came misshapen and is now becoming squashed. I can see Ill need to buy another one. Yet I am happy with the purchase.

Needs some improvement

User: Kethy Importa, Oct 16, 2010

Pros: thin, slim, & easy to hold, GREAT color (pink)
Cons: doesnt always recognize touch

I bought the styli because I wanted it 4 use with my virtual keyboard on my Pre. Since the letters are so close together. I do LOVE the color..hot fuschia pink (very vibrant pinkish hint of purple undertone). Besides the color it was useless 2 my Pre. The styli would not recognize the touch w/the pen! Had to push very hard & 2 seconds too long for it 2 make the halo on my Pre. @ 1 point thought maybe I would break the screen!! Not good 4 quick touch recognition! Another thing is that the tip of the styli is a flimsy protruding piece of black"foam"..scared it was going 2 fall off if I kept using it w/enough force 2 recognize the touch. Not good quality 4 price or use. Returning! Nice color & concept, but does not work well enough. It wud b a great product, but still needs sum wk.

Cant SWYPE with it

User: Chuck Schaller, Aug 12, 2010

Pros: OK for most operations, including scrolling
Cons: For some reason, it wont work with SWYPE

For some reason, it wont work with SWYPE, which was my reason for buying it. Other operations are OK with just fingers.

Doesnt work!

User: Julie B, Mar 28, 2012

I bought this to use with my new iPad, and it seriously doesnt work. The stupid foam thing on the end does not act like a stylet at all and I feel like I have to stab my iPad to get it to pick up the fact Im using the stylet. Do not waste your money!

It just dont work

User: Chris D, Jan 13, 2012

The tip for writing is a little spong ball that unless you use in a specific way very slowly it just does not work

Not Appropriate for Blackberry Touch Screen Users

User: Peter Burger, Nov 11, 2011

Pros: Will not harm screen
Cons: Does not work consistently or acurately

This product was not designed for the feel or the amount of pressure required on the Blackberry screen The human finger is the tool the the screen was designed to respond to.

Dont Waste Your Money

User: Dave Apt, Aug 4, 2011

Product doesnt work on the Playbook.

Not what was promised

User: R B, Jul 21, 2011

Pros: color
Cons: does not clip to phone, capacative tip looks like its redy to fall off

This product does not look like the image on Shop Android - no ring up to use with phone clip. Tip of stylus is not secured properly. I only be able to use it a few times since I cannot keep it attached to phone or have to worry about it falling apart.

There are better alternatives out there

User: T G, Jun 25, 2011

I was frustrated with the Pogo stylus failure to work effectively about 1/3 of the time but used it until it actually fell apart on me. Then when we got new devices I definitely needed a new stylus so I checked reviews and settled on the very popular and more pen-like one from Boxwave. I got one for myself, one for my husband, and a couple of their mini ones, too. We both love them and use them for almost everything. Im using one to write this review and fine control as well as writing and sketching is superior. The larger pen-like ones are the same price as this at other online (and offline) stores, and the smaller ones are less. They even have little (removable) straps with a thing that clips into your headset jack so you dont lose it in your pocket or bag and they come in several colors. (They also have a model that integrates a nice ballpoint pen.) Weve been using ours for months and theyre still like new. All in all, after my experience with the Pogo, I recommend the Boxwave model to anyone considering a stylus for their Torch, iPhone, iPad, etc.

Poor Response

User: Raymond Brown, Mar 28, 2011

Pros: They look cute, that is where it stops
Cons: They dont work well

The end of the stylus is similar to a sponge, and doesnt activate the touch screen very well. One must push and slide. Terrible for keyboard use. That being said, they are WAY too freakin expensive.
I have hand many stylus with my windows phones and my Palm phones and devices, and they of course dont work either on the Android. Go Figure. I do NOT recommend this device to any one for an android phone. Total waste of money.

stylus

User: tom steenport, Nov 13, 2010

I found it just as easy to use the touch pad with my finger.
