Targus 2 in 1 Stylus + Pen for Apple iPad, iPad 2, iPad 3 and iPad 4th Generation, iPad mini, 16GB,

• Allows users to type accurately and comfortably;use to take notes, draw or turn a page soft.
• Stylus works on all capacitive touch surfaces.
• It is 4 3/4 inch long and RoHS compliant.

This capacitive stylus works really well! Of course, the coolest feature of the Targus '2 in 1' (and worth the extra $10) is that the other end is a convenient ball point pen that uses standard Parker ball point refills.

I bought the 'Targus 2 in 1' stylus primarily for two iPad apps: 'Write Pad' the leading handwriting recognition app for the iPad and, 'Penultimate' a really cool app to hand write notes on my iPad. This '2 in 1' stylus is also a handy high quality ball point pen. So, I carry around this neat stylus in my pocket for conventional note taking.

PROS:

The stylus has a soft, durable rubber tip that won't scratch the screen (I prefer to use my iPad without any screen protector). Durability is not an issue ... this stylus is well made!

The yielding rubber tip is comfortable to use with the iPad's capacitive touch surface. I quickly adjusted to writing and doing simple drawings with this stylus.

Although the iPad is a touch screen device, using the stylus in other apps certainly helps in keeping the screen smudge-free!

I use my stylus to play the iPad version of the word game 'Boggle'. I can link the 'Boggle' words much faster with the stylus instead of swiping the screen by hand! :))

In cold weather, using my iPad or iPod Touch screen becomes a problem. Unless I am wearing capacitive touch screen gloves, then I must first remove my regular gloves to use the Touch Screen. The solution? Keep my regular gloves on and use my stylus :))

The stylus ball point pen (on the opposite end) uses easy to find and affordable standard Parker ball point refills.

The Black Targus '2 in 1' Stylus has a nice classic appearance. It also has a comfortable 'weighty feel' for writing whether its using the ball point pen on conventional paper or the stylus on a capacitive screen.

CONS:

Measuring just about 5 inches, I find the stylus a bit too short. Add another half to one inch and this would be the perfect capacitive stylus! Despite this shortcoming (pun intended LOL), this Targus '2 in 1' Stylus and pen is a most useful product design!

A cover/cap would definitely protect the stylus rubber tip, especially if you store your stylus in your bag! I use the handy pocket clip so, for me, the absence of a stylus tip cover is not an issue.

NOTE: If all you need is a stylus (without the ball point pen) then I recommend the Targus Stylus.

The stylus is beautifully designed and very well made, and feels great in your hand -until you start using it. It's too short for most people, but that's actually the least of its problems. The stylus doubles as a standard pen, with a removable cap. I would have preferred some sort of retractable pen, but I knew I was getting a cap, and I can't complain about that. However, the cap does not fit on the back of the stylus. When you remove the cap to use the pen, you have to either hold it, or put it down and risk losing it. And, although the cap has a pocket clip, the clip is so tight it takes two hands to clip the pen to a shirt pocket (or anything else). Considering what this stylus cost, I expected something close to perfection. It's too nice to return, but it is a disappointment.

Read Best Reviews of Targus 2 in 1 Stylus + Pen for Apple iPad, iPad 2, iPad 3 and iPad 4th Generation, iPad mini, 16GB, Here

I have tried a number of options for using a stylus on my iPad and all have been disappointing. The Pogo stylus models all feel like using a Q-tip as an input device. However, the Targus stylus feels so smooth with it's soft rubber tip. The iPad is just as responsive to this stylus as it is to a human finger. One thing I was impressed with was the weight of the pen, it feels perfectly weighted and balanced in hand. You will not have to worry about scratches. Styluses are not cheap and I was getting very tired I wasting money on disappointments. Finally, I found a winner! If you are impatient like me then you can find this stylus/pen at BestBuy for $30.00 or the strictly stylus model for $20.00.

I carry this little GEM with me every where I go and keep it by my bedside table for my Kindle Fire, READY anytime. I really hope I DON"T ware outthe rubber tip on this little guy. It's a TERRIFIC product. I use it constantly turning all the pages reading any magazings, books and especially working with those FAST-MOVING Games.

The Targus 2 is saving my SCREEN om my KINDLE FIRE HD 8.9 and it's a lot easier to move around the screen than trying to move my little finger on those tiny,tiny places on the game boards and between instructions on the games. I really like enjoy this pen. It is worth every dollar.
