4.0 out of 5 stars Updated: From 1 Star to 4 August 30, 2011

By Charles J. Fidler

Amazon Verified Purchase

Original Review followed by an updated review, based upon Targus correcting an issue. Originally rated 1 star... updated to 4 stars.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
This seemed like a decent purchase before I actually received the product. Here is what I experienced:

1 Pen cap does not stay on. If you lose the cap, you also lose the ability to use this as a stylus. Additionally, your pen is always exposed.
2 FYI: Very Heavy. I can understand why (it is a laser pointer/pen). Just thought you should know.
3 FYI: Functions decently as a stylus, although the stylus tip is wider than most.
4 FYI: If you buy a Targus iPad 2 case , the stylus has difficulty fitting in the stylus holder. Also, if your case has a stylus holder located in the spine of the case, chances are you will be inadvertently turning the laser pointer on while carrying the case. The laser pointer button is not recessed, so closing the case and applying any pressure while carrying it will cause the case to press against the button.

Point #1 is the big issue... the other comments are minor.

9/25/11: Update to my Original Review (above):

Based on the response from Targus, I called them and very quickly reached a customer service rep. No wait time. The rep was very friendly and helpful during our conversation. She took my info, apologized for the inconvenience, and explained that the stylus has a known issue with the cap not staying on. She explained that a replacement would be provided at no cost. 5 days later I received the new stylus and the issue appears to be corrected. Overall, outstanding customer service from Targus.

I would give this product 4 stars now that the cap has been fixed. Also, to be fair: This is the first issue I have encountered with a Targus product, and I own at least 6 items from them. With a track record of quality products, I will chalk the stylus situation up to a one-off mistake. Add in their outstanding customer service, and I will continue to purchase their products.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good idea, weak execution August 15, 2011

By poltroon

Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)

I didn't know I needed a stylus like this, but I quickly was smitten by the idea of using a stylus pen instead of trying to use a fingertip. The extra precision of the stylus instead of a finger is welcome, allowing me to work on my iPhone quickly and accurately.

However, the first problem is that it is very heavy for a pen. This makes it difficult to hold comfortably for long periods without strain. I would not choose it as a regular pen just for this reason.

The pen itself writes like a very ordinary cheap ballpoint. Again, if you needed a pen and this is all you had, better than nothing, but for a heavy, expensive item, it wanted to be a nicer writing pen. I would not choose it as a regular pen for its writing ability. I would still carry another pen with me for writing.

The laser pointer works as a laser pointer.

But the worst part is after just a few times taking the cap on and off, the cap on my pen no longer stays on. This makes it clumsy and annoying to use. I will probably end up taping or gluing the cap on permanently to use it as a stylus and laser pointer. I did drop the pen once, but still!

The cap alone works as a very credible stylus (if only it was longer), so clearly the weight comes from the laser pointer. I think I would prefer it to be lighter in weight and give up the laser pointer.

Finally, for this to be most useful, an accessory case that holds the iPhone and pen would be ideal, so they're always together and at your fingertips, and yet the pen is not loose to scratch the screen.

1.0 out of 5 stars 2nd time I've ordered and the cap still won't stay on October 22, 2011

By Julie Austin

Amazon Verified Purchase

The first pen arrived and the cap would not stay on at all from the start. I used Amazon's great return policy and had a replacement within a day or two and returned the defective pen.
Used the new one and it appeared to work fine - but it is about one month past the official return policy now and the cap no longer stays on. I'm afraid whatever fix was made is only temporary...
