elago EL-STYLUS-RET Stylus Retractable for iPhone 4/3GS/3G, iPad, iPod Touch, AT&T and Verizon iPhon

I have an iPhone 4. I wanted something compact for a hand-held device. This stylus is amazing! It took me forever to find it but I'm SO glad I kept digging. It's great for typing and games (and everything). It's smooth, sleek, stylish, comfortable & functional. Extended it fits perfectly in my hand, though it can be used unextended as well. Both the lanyard connector cap & extension cylinder snap firmly into place. This is a REALLY solid unit. I am amazed it's under $10. I feel like I should have paid at least 2x as much. The tip is rubber "bubble" so it actually behaves like the skin on the tip of your finger! Brilliant. I have only had it 1 week & I'm already getting super fast @ typing with it. I can't say enough to recommend this product to iPhone users. PLUS there is a slogan printed on the side: "Design is Improvement" I am into art, design & web so I love the concept. The only thing that I don't like is that the slogan is starting to wear off already :( Thank you Elago! Great job.

This is my first stylus so I have nothing to compare it to. From reading comments on other styluses the two main things that make a good stylus is how much pressure is required to get the screen to register and how easily it glides across the screen. This does both those to my complete satisfaction. The stylus unextended is 2 5/8" long; extended it's 3 3/4". I use it unextended holding it up against my index finger most of the time. I use it with my iPad.

This stylus is very nicely madeprobably of 400 series Stainless steel which is highly polished. The extendable feature is smooth

and convenient. Unfortunately, my sample has a VERY VERY tight capso tight that you have to pry it loose

using two very strong finger nails or a knife blade. When it comes off it doesn't fit on the other end like a pen cap

would! This is unfortunate because it would give the cap a place to park and also would extend the 3 3/4 inch (extended)

length by about 1/2 inch to make it a bit more comfortable to use. The cap has a short cord to a semisoft plastic plug that

fits (poorly) in the headphone jack. This means you cant use the headphone jack unless you put the cap in your pocket.

These design flaws are surprising given that the Manufacturer's slogan printed on the stylus is "Design is Improvement".

I think I will re-machine mine to correct these design flaws and then I might have a really nice stylus.

Follow UpI fixed it by turning a bit off the working end to make the cap release easier and turned a bit more off

the sliding end to let the cap park there. I also found a pocket clip that fit the barrelit's now 4 1/4" long

with the cap parked in place while using the stylus tipand it has a convenient pocket clip.

Now it's perfect.

PS What do you do if you don't have a Lathe? Perhaps wait until elago "improves the design".

PPSthe metal parts are plated brassnot Stainless as I first thought

I like this stylus a lot but in less than a month the rubber on the tip has started to crack. I do not see anything about support or a warranty on the Elego site.

I text an entire staff of ten people and 5i managers plus. After a while I said to myself I need a stylus. I bought a few different kinds to try them out. this one worked the best. I also picked this one because the tip is covered. It is the only one I saw covered. I read many reviews on many different styluses and it looks like all styluses have a limited life. I've had mine a month and nothing wrong yet. I will definitely get this one again. It's responsive, convenient, and I think it will last longer because the tip is protected. I love this stylus!
