I wanted to improve the accuracy of text entry into my iPhone 3G. Just received and tested this stylus. Found it actually less effective as an input device. I haven't tried it without my screen protector (thin acetate) simply because I wouldn't go without this. Perhaps the stylus would be more effective but in my opinion it should work as advertised with the protector in place. You have to press too hard to achieve a response from the controls and the rubber tip definitely won't last - it peels like a pencil eraser and will likely detach from its glued adhesion to the pen body. This was only a few bucks so worth trying from my perspective but I'd pay more for the right product - this ain't it. We'll see if Orion Gadgets can recommend a better one or give me a refund. It works but very poorly - I'm sticking with my fingers for now.

Too bad it doesn't work as expected. What could go wrong with a pointer? Primarily, the rubber tip. It doesn't scratch my iPhone screen, but then it doesn't slide across the screen either. Most apps for the iPhone require sliding settings, icons, etc. This stylus hangs onto the screen and would be great in tires on a wet road. Pushing it around was so aggravating that I put it in the drawer after using it for a couple of minutes and have never used it again.

The second shortcoming is that the stylus has a slanted end. Tapping on the iPhone screen with just the pointy end doesn't work. The tap has to have a slightly larger area in contact with the screen. Which means I had to tip the stylus back to use it to tap. In that position, it was impossible to slide the stylus. It was a distraction to use a stylus that required different positions to do different tasks and took some effort to use it.

I bought a Pogo stylus and like the round, smooth, foam (nylon?) tip that taps firmly and slides easily. I just wish the stylus was a little longer.

Don't waste your money on this. It works only by pressing harder than you do with your fingers, and it doesn't slide smoothly across the screen. I suppose it would be ok if you're typing in an address, but for going from screen to screen or moving around easily on a map, forget it.
