This is the third stylus I've purchased for the iPad 2 and by far the best. My first was rooCase which is rubber tipped and rated 4+ stars on Amazon. Many reviewers commented on how smooth it wrote but I didn't have the same experience. I just don't like the resitance I got with the rubber tip, therefore it didn't prove to be a useful tool for note-taking apps. I could't see taking a chance with another rubber tipped stylus no matter how good the reviews. My second was purchased from Stylus-r-Us. They offer a variety of fuzzy tipped styluses. It was ultra sensitive and smooth but lost out in durability. The Aponyo has been with me for the past few days and I love it! The tip is some sort of rigid but flexible fabric that is sensitive and smooooth to write with. This stylus is well made and solid. A bonus is the pen. I've been caught in work meetings taking notes on the iPad with just a stylus and come to realize I forgot a pen to write with.....not anymore. I'd like to say that I'm a smart consumer who does his research, but this product hasn't been out long and I couldn't find any reviews on this stylus so I took a chance. I'm glad that did.

The stylus is excellent...while it lasts. The reversible cap is convenient, if you are strong enough to uncouple it. The pen writes smoothly, when the tip isn't coming unscrewed.

I'll work in reverse order to the above. the pen is a nice ballpoint with good ink color. It writes smoothly, but the chrome tip is constantly coming unscrewed on me, no matter how tightly I screw it on (and I'm no weakling).

The cap snaps on so tightly that my daughters were unable to reverse it until I had worked it dozens and dozens of times. It uses sharp plastic teeth that engage each other to hold the cap on the pen, covering either the fragile mesh stylus or the ink pen.

Lastly, the most disappointing part. If you've used capacitive touch styli, you know that they eventually fail, usually because of the rubber tip. A metal mesh is superior to rubber in many ways, but is vulnerable to ripped fibers. Rip a few and the head starts to unravel completely. In this pen, those sharp teeth inevitably snag the fibers, no matter how carefully you put on the cap. And you must use the cap, because you have to protect the mesh from other dangers.

So now my stylus sits in a drawer to be used as a regular pen until the ink runs out, at which point it will be trash. I'm currently test driving a Click from the same manufacturer, hoping that the mesh will last longer. But I've lost my ink pen! So the hunt continues for a protectable mesh stylus with a good ink pen.

PROS:

The tip is perfect for writing fluently on the iPad. So much better than the rubber ones; which require significantly more dragging effort on the screen.

CONS:

The flipping mechanism needs improvement as it is hard to flip. I actually got rid of the flipping cap, the black part (I don't need the clip on it).

I love this stylus! I've tried many different ones over the years. I hate how the rubber ones drag and are not very responsive. I've been using this one with my iPad2 now for several months. I carry a huge purse and lose a lot of stuff. This is the one thing I make sure to always keep up with (aside from the iPad).

The pen refill is decent, but I'm going to be switching that out soon, but wouldn't trade the stylus portion for anything. I use it during the day for writing notes in several handwriting applications. I also use it to play Scramble and Plants v. Zombies. I tend to have poor hand/eye coordination so this is great for better precision. Also, I love using it to edit PDFs in Goodreader. I have definitely never had this type of precision with a rubber tipped stylus!

I purchased this based on the fact it had a capacitive fabric end and was also a pen but if the pen doesn't work, what's the point? I originally thought it best to try and exchange the item but the only option available was to return it. Furthermore, there's no way to refill the pen once its ink does wear out. As other reviewers have said, the pen is slightly top heavy. Good idea but needs improvement.
