Well, let me start off by reiterating a simple fact of life: don't believe everything you read. I have bought this stylus from Amazon, and boy, was I dissapointed when I got it! First of all, it is not very slim. Second, it does not contain the balpen, pencil, and stylus, but rather a black ballpoint pen, a blue ballpoint pen, and a red-colored plastic stylus.

So what, you might say. Well, there is more. It does not switch with a simple twist. Look accurately at the picture and you will notice two buttons: one at the top of the stylus, and the other, small black one on the side. The small black one is used to retract the pen/stylus. Try to push the buttons and you will find that the extensions to not alternate, but rather extend at random (the same kind multiple times in a row). Hmm, could it be defective? Apparently not. Look through the usage note and you'll discover that there are colored markings around the pen - red, black and blue. What you need to do in order to extend the kind of pen/stylus you want is hold the pen horizontally, with the desired marking facing up, then push the button...

What an ingenious idea. But you know what, besides the misleading description and the Amazon review, this stylus is just not worth what it costs, or even half of that if you ask me.

My review may be subjective, but consider what I wrote before buying this pen. Me -- I am returing this one and shopping for a better one.

This "pen" does not change easily at all. You have toline up this then push that then ull get the point you want. The stylus is flimsy. I agree with Denis, Im sending this back and shopping around for a much better one.

I love this pen! It fits perfectly into my Palm carrying case. It's very versatile. The ink is great- it's the best stylus I have ever used too. A must buy, especially if you only want to carry one pen.

Device is nice, but does not replaces the laser pointer I have to carry. I wish it is implemented in a future version of the pen!
