[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a regular stylus and does not write. It is an old traditional kind of stylus that does what it claims to do. The magnet works great and does not fall off my tablet. The stylus itself also works.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this stylus to work on some coloring and designs apps. It’s the perfect size and glides across my screen fantastic with no issues. It works smoothly with no “bumps” like I’ve had issues with in the past with other brands. I like that it’s larger height than many so it’s easier to hold. The only thing I wish was different is the magnetic hold. I keep a case on my tablet and phone and with the cases on it doesn’t hold, but taking the cases off it stays perfectly. But I won’t keep them off just to hold the stylus. If it would stick through the case I would give this 5 stars.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very nice, quality stylus. If has some nice weight to the pen. Great quality and functions excellent with my iPad. I had no trouble with the magnet attaching to the side of my tablet. I would for sure recommend to anyone in the market.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great stylus because now I can pick up my iPad and go and not have to worry that I'm going to drop & break or lose my stylus. I use it all the time now. Being made of metal means IF I do drop it, it's not going to snap in half or bust up. I find the rubber tip works well whether I'm clicking websites or links or if I'm using it to move pieces in the games I play on my iPad and my phone. It's accurate in picking up the area I am choosing. It's just the right size at 6 inches because I can pop it into my coat pocket easily. It's slim enough that I can carry it in my purse or even my wallet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Summary: For what it is, it works great.
I have been using the stylus for a couple weeks with an iPad Pro. Now to be fair, it is NOT a bluetooth Pencil--it does not have any of the additional functionality that is specific to a bluetooth Pencil. So expecting the iPad Pro to behave as if it was would be unfair.
That said, for what it does it fits in well.
It has a nice solid feel in your hand. The iPad Pro's magnets it has on the side to hold (if not secure) the stylus. The iPad Pro case I use has a slot against the magnets to hold the bluetooth Pencil and it fits perfectly in that slot. That's really handy.
In your hand, it feels like a drafting instrument and I really like that feel.
It does not have a clip at the top to be secured in a pocket, but I think that would just get in the way of it being held against the iPad. So that's a positive for me. It does have a hole drilled at the end without the style so you could put a lanyard on it if you wanted to.
The stylus tip itself is soft, compresses when pressed down and I have no problems using it. However I have seen it happen where those kinds of tips, when used constantly under heavy pressure can start to crack. Though to be fair I haven't used it for long enough to get a sense of if that would happen here. Additionally, on the iPad, there's no need to press that hard anyway.
Overall I have been very happy with the stylus and find it works great with the iPad Pro as a substitute for your finger. For example, I had a situation where my right index finger was bandaged for a week, and the stylus worked fantastic.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Stylus is made well and very handy. It's a great size and I've been using it with my iPad and iPhone. The magnetic feature is a plus and helps me not to lose or misplace it. My other stylus isn't made as well and I've retired it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Such a great idea to simply add a magnet to a stylus! Having a 9 year old son who loves drawing on his iPad, we've managed to lose a few of them over the years. This stylus sticks to the back of his iPad case connecting to the metal stand. It also sticks to my iPad mini (no case). For those who don't have anything metal on their iPad case, there is a small hole on the end of the stylus that can used with string or something else to make it easier to keep track of it.
Great little tool. A great purchase for iPad users who like to draw!
