Not worth the extra cost
I purchased this mainly because it came in different colors and I was able to buy a black, orange and pink one. There were no reviews when I purchased and I assumed that I would also be getting top of the line quality for the premium price paid. I paid $15 each... This product meets basic expectations as it works properly, but unless you are in it just for the color I would suggest a different product as there is nothing special about this one. I would compare the quality to others available in the $3-$5 range. Aside from the high price the other negative is the clip on the stylus is extremly tight, I had to bend it somewhat to allow it to slide in the designated slot on my tablet case. I am a bit worried that repeating the bending may snap the clip off, I wish it had a little more give. Overall I wish I would have purchased something else for the money, you will be disappointed if you assume like me that spending a bit extra will yeild something superior. -- 45 day update -- I have had and used this stylus moderately (<1hr/day) for about 45 days now and have some further comments. - Suprisingly the clip is still intact, although I rarely clip it on anymore as I can tell it is a clip or 2 away from falling off. - The Marware marking on the stylus is nearly worn off (I never really liked that the manufacturer put their name prominently on the stylus, so having it wear off is fine with me) - The rubber on the tip of the stylus is starting to develop hairline cracks, I suspect they will grow and eventually cause the rubber tip to completly split, but for the time being it still works fine. - I commented originally that this is comparable to others in the $3-$5 range, but may up this a bit as this one does have a better feel to the tip than some of the more rigid cheaper ones I have tried. After 45 days extended use I pretty much stand with my original rating. The one thing I grew to like was the feel and responsiveness or the tip, however I am not convinced it is worth the price with the questional durability of the stylus. I suspect this stylus will last 3 months as the clip is on its last leg and the tip is showing signs of weakness. I have seen this product flucuate in price and was recently down to $10. I think I would feel better if I got the stylus for that price, but even then it is on the high side of the range for me if its durability doesn't hold up.
