TruGlide Mesh Fiber Stylus with Microfiber Knit Tip for All Capacitive Touch Screen Tablets, iPad, and Smartphone (Blue with Silver Clip)

Great price! Works wonderfully! What more can you want?There are some great drawing and sketching apps available for iOS and Android but without the appropriate tools, the user is left finger painting on her touch device. While it may be fun to regress into childhood memories of throwing paint around, some of us have become quite comfortable using brushes and pens and I knew that if I wanted to get the most out of sketching on my iPad I needed a stylus.After weeks of research, it became clear that the TruGlide stylus was what was needed. Simple. Strong. Inexpensive. It glides over the touch screen like a brush but the tip is narrow enough for line drawing. Some prefer firmer nibs on their drawing tools while others like soft contact with their touch surface. This is right in the middle. Push hard like a pencil. It works. Drag it gently over the screen as if it's a watercolor brush. It works. Be more creative. It works.Some of us 'artistic types' aren't the best at remembering where we put things; car keys, coffee cups, pens and brushes are a few items in a long list of things I've misplaced over my time on this planet. What if you lose your TruGlide Stylus? You won't feel too bad about misplacing your TruGlide since it's price is easy on the wallet.So why not purchase it?

I use my iPad and the Notability app for note taking and lecture recording and I take A LOT of notes (easily 4-5 full pages per 1-hour lecture and roughly 9-11 lectures a week). I have tried every type of stylus over the last 3+ years and have destroyed every stylus but the microfiber tipped ones. I have tried the rubber tips that tear within 3 weeks of intensive use, the wire circle tip on a little spring (this was a favorite until the wire broke flush with the stylus body making removal and replacement impossible), the plastic disc tip (one mounted on a rubber stem: broke, one mounted on a metal ball: continuously wearing the ball/disc and losing contact) this was my favorite on many levels but it became a maintenance/cost issue due to both, using conductive grease to nurse it along until the new tips showed up, and the accumulating cost of tips versus normal writing implements (pack of ball-points or refills for mechanical pencils). Not to say these microfiber tips won't wear out, but they take much MUCH longer to do so. I finally replaced my original TruGlide after 1.5yrs, it didn't show any overt wear and tear but it began to have intermittent contact issues (maybe accumulated dirt, dust and dead skin??). It is very lightweight and doesn't feel like much in your hand, as well as being a little on the short side for those with larger hands (a fellow student is an iPad note taker and bought the more deluxe version with a ball point pen on the other end and it was definitely better for larger hands). Overall, I couldn't be happier with the functionality, longevity and affordability of the TruGlide and I would recommend it for anyone writing a lot on a touch screen.

I've purchased a total of 4 of these, the last June, 2014 in black/gold. A bit of background, the first one a bought, don't remember the date - probably early 2014, was blue and Lynktec's original Truglide Stylus i.e. it was a mesh tip but, there wasn't an inner rubber core.This Stylus worked great and still does with the exception that the mesh had started to fray, like a Brillo pad, with very fine "hairs" sticking out in all directions. This wasn't an issue in terms of screen scratching, the fibers are as soft as silk but, the fiber material is extremely conductive and was causing errant touch activation.I bought a new Stylus and to my surprise the design had changed to the current mesh/rubber ball core combination. It still functioned extremely well however there were some distinct differences:1. If too much pressure is applied, the tip collapses and there is a distinct crackle noise.2. The tip itself is much firmer and trends to make a squeaky noise when gliding across the screen. This is especially noticeable when typing/swiping on Google keyboard for example.3. Unlike the original design, the mesh cover has worn out, exposing the rubber core on multiple areas of the stylus tip.This final point is my major objection. All three (3) of the new, design, styli i purchased developed "bald" spots on the tips within ~3 months or so.Fortunately, Lynktec has a 1 year warranty period plus they're just a great company in general to work with. It wasn't until after all three of the styli suffered defects that i decided to contact the company.I took photos of the styli and copies of my Amazon receipts and emailed them to lynktec. They replied right away and sent me three new styli without me having to go through the hassle of first returning the old, defective ones.Unfortunately, the same problem reoccurred in about the same time frame. Now, to be clear some of the earlier styli might have worn prematurely because back then because i was using them on my Google Nexus 7 (2012) which just had regular Gorilla Glass.However, i stopped using them on the Nexus 7 when i bought my Google Nexus 5 and now my Google Nexus 5xLynktec was so good to me, replacing the three styli and not asking for the originals to be returned, i just didn't have the heart to ask them to replace the replacements. Although i know they would have.In sum, I'm writing this review with a two year old Truglide Stylus which has some "bald" spots and despite that it still works as well as it did the day i bought it. That's the quality that's built into these styli. They're compact, under 5" made of metal, the pocket clip is solid - none of them have fallen off in three years plus and they're very stylish.After reading this review you're probably wondering if I'm crazy - Yes. Yes i am, for this Stylus. I literally have accumulated over two dozen brands/styles of styli over the past few years ranging in price from $2 - $65.00I've read recent reviews, people saying that this Stylus is too expensive . . . it only lasts 3-4 months . . .Well, price is relative. If you want a cheap piece of plastic - this isn't for you. If you want a cheapo mesh wannabe, there's plenty out there and I've tried em, heed this warning - the cheap mesh styli will wear off your phone's oliophobic coating prematurely and you'll wish you bought a soft, quality Stylus like this one.For me, $10 every 3-4 months is dirt cheap compared to what my Nexus 5x (32GB) cost. Plus, you really won't have to replace that frequently and remember - the first failure/defect is a free replacement.This is, hands down, the best Stylus I've ever used.

Buen producto pero poco resistente a las caídas el sujetador se desprendió a la primer caída desde una altura mínima

Each of these stylus could cost you twenty bucks for a single stylus so getting 3 for that price it's an amazing offer.The stylus themselves have a capacitive fibre mesh top for extra touch response.

Very happy with this stylus on both my phone & my tablet. I haven't had a tip like this before, but it's the only type I want from now on!

I had earlier bought Wacom Gen 3 Bamboo stylus which has a fiber tip too but it required applying too much pressure to get detected by the screen which made using the stylus very uncomfortable, so I never used it again and bought a rubber tip stylus which cost ₹79/- which works perfectly except for the minor resistance when swiping on the screen, I wanted a much smoother experience and after reading all the positive reviews bought the TruGlide Stylus, so here is what I think:- Compared to Wacom stylus TruGlide is lot better, it does require slight pressure to get detected but it feels more natural and easier to get used to- Comparing TruGlide with the rubber tip stylus which I bought for ₹79 was a disappointment because taps and swipes of rubber tip stylus gets easily detected and requires only the slightest of pressure whereas TruGlide feels better at swiping across the screen due to the fiber tip and smooth gliding on the screen but it's not at all good for tapping on links, it requires too much pressure, feels uncomfortable and is an inconsistent experience.- I am using the stylus on iPad Mini 2, I tried it on iOS Notes app to write and found the experience to be disappointing, I didn't try it on any other note taking apps so may be the experience would be better in other apps.- The TruGlide stylus looks stylish and feels premium, weight is not evenly distributed, it's quite heavier at the base but feels comfortable to use.I required the stylus only to get around the interface which means tapping and swiping and this stylus is only good for the later, so I can't recommend these expensive fiber tipped styluses unless their prices come way down, till then it's better to go with rubber tip stylus or buy a good Bluetooth stylus.Attached picture of TruGlide Stylus with the rubber tipped stylus.

Accurate and glides smoothly. Works great with a Nexus. No sign of wearing out, unlike the neoprene tipped ones which need frequent replacing and are a bit less precise. Fits my grip fine.
