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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Durable stylus: tablet accessory

I've used different brands of stylus pens for the last two years and before TruGlide, rubber tipped styluses were always my favorites. The problem is that I take LOTS of notes and most brands only last me 45 to 60 days before the tip comes off or the rubber on my iPad starts to melt. As a result, I made a habit of buying 2-3 probes at a time. TruGlide was different - after 90 days I'm still using the first of the 3 I bought and it's showing no signs of wear. It still writes smoothly and leaves no marks on my iPad's glass. I highly recommend this product. Update 08/17: All the paint has come off the pen bar, but last night I noticed tip wear for the first time. The peeling of the paint was a little annoying, but I was happy to put up with it because it writes so well. So by my reckoning this probe lasted 4 months and because it works so well I've used it more than the old rubber tip probes. The end of this pen is finally showing, but I expect a normal pen to last 300% before this pen goes in the bin.

Pros
  • Got it!
Cons
  • Not the best
