These stylus are very well made and work very well, if all you want to do is find an alternative to pressing the onscreen keyboard. However, these stylus are totally useless for use with a drawing program because the rubber tip will not glide across the screen. If you use your iPhone outdoors and you are wearing gloves, these stylus are for you. If you want to draw, then you'd be better off with a stylus with a soft foam tip.

Short and sweet:
I've tried three of the stylus brands offered on Amazon: The $15.00; the $11.99 aCase; and the cheap three-pack "Universal Touch Screen Stylus.".
It is easy to tell you which not to buy: the cheap ones. The rubber tips on them have too much friction. You can't write or draw easily; you literally feel like the Stylus is getting stuck on the screen. Guaranteed, one zillion percent, you will hate it.
Now, to the Boxwave vs. the aCase.
This isn't just a draw; there's not even a fight, because the two products are exactly the same (there's one subtle difference in the way the little headphone-jack string insert is attached to the pen. One uses a tiny, carbiner-type hook, and the other a ring. You'd probably never notice the difference, because there is non.
So, which to buy? The aCase is three dollars cheaper, but it only comes in black. That's it.

This review has stirred interest beyond the value of said stylus.
3 Pack (Red + Black + Silver) of Universal Touch Screen Stylus Pen for Apple iPod Touch 2nd 3rd 4th Gen, iPhone 3G 3GS 4th Gen Generation
These are inexpensive, ok, cheap, stylus. I bought them to test on a cheap tablet I was testing and they worked very good. If they are lost, stolen or eaten by Fido, who cares. We are talking about bang for the buck here. And yes, they are made across the big pond.
If you need status, spend the big bucks, but don't cry if it goes missing. It could be hiding next to that missing $200.00 remote.
Better yet, make one yourself, it's a fun and interesting project. Brings out that MacGyver rush from the 80's.
There are three (3) types of touch screens, buy the correct stylus for your screen.
From eHow:
Resistive-type screens lack the clarity of other touch screens but they tend to be very durable and can be used in a variety of environments. Resistive-type screens are the most common in use today.
Capacitive screens are resistant to outside elements, making them very durable, and they still maintain a high clarity. Unlike resistive and surface wave screens, which can be used with stylus, capacitive panels must be touched with a finger.
Surface wave touch panels are the more advanced of the three types, offering the highest clarity. But they are more easily damaged by outside elements.
The iPad has a capacitive touch screen, your gloves won't work, and that plastic stylus from your old Palm PDA won't work either. Buy a capacitive stylus for your iPad.

I should have read the reviews carefully.
Do not buy this if you want to use it with your iPhone to draw, slide the screens or do anything cool.
The tip is very soft and you need to put some effort in pressing it against the screen. If you try to slide it, you are in danger of damaging the screen since the tip moves away and the hard plastic of the stylus can scratch your precious sceeen.
This is probably good if you are missing a finger or you are wearing gloves and your apps are in the main screen.

The price and shipping time on this item are great. Sadly, the item itself is basically useless. I bought this for my iPad and it works but you have to mash really hard and then it leaves a funky streak mark and it's hard to get it to work and then it isn't very precise. I bought it to have a stylus to use with a drawing app and given how big the tip is and hard I have to mash to get it to work it's much less useful than simply using my finger.

This is not a product that works effectively with an iPad. If all you want to do is poke at the screen, fine. However if you have to drag or write on the screen, this product definitely is not the one for you. You get what you pay for.

For reaching those peskly small areas on your iPod Touch screen, the Universal Touch Screen Stylus Pen does the trick! They are comfortable in the hand and helps to make some of those tasks easier on the iPod Touch. If you have trouble with fingers that don't quite work the way you wish, then this is another reason to consider purchasing these pens.Silver Universal Touch Screen Stylus Pen for Apple Iphone 1st Gen, 3G 2nd Gen, Ipod Touch

It's worth what I paid
These Stylus are really worth what you pay for them, but nothing more really. They're hard to use on touch screens, I'd rather just use my finger. Read more

works great
They are a little on the small side, so they may be easy to lose. Other than that, I can keep the oils from my fingers off the screens of my cell and tablet.

Cheap plastic
For the price I guessnyou can't expect much. These would be good for outdoor applications where they would get lost easily. Works good with kids as well.
