Review on TruGlide Mesh Fiber Stylus: Premium Touch Screen Pen for Tablets, iPad, and Smartphone - Black/Gold by Anthony Montgomery

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It's just okay.

I decided to try this stylus because I lost my latest Ozaki iStroke-L+ stylus for iPad 2 and other touchscreens (IP013MPE). Honestly there is no comparison. TruGlide seems so cheap. It has very little weight, just light plastic. And it's about half an inch shorter than the ozaki, which I found quite small in my huge hands. I think this is an incorrect comparison since the ozaki is made of metal and doubles as a pen. But I'm just comparing them because they cost me the same thing, $20 each. The pen tip is a key component. It feels softer and thinner on the TruGlide than on the Ozaki. Also, it tends to make a clicking noise when I press it, which I don't like at all. The Ozaki tip is much harder and bigger and I like the responsiveness better. TruGlide works, don't get me wrong. But for the money it's not worth it in my opinion. In hand it looks like it should be worth $6 instead of $20. I wouldn't buy it again. I keep it as a reserve in case I need it. But I already have a new ozaki.

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
