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.

All this STYLUS stuff...
Capacitive touchscreens are everywhere. They're in iPhones, iPads, iPods, Android/Windows smartphones, and all new tablets. Pretty much any mobile touchscreen device that is worth having, comes with a capacitive touchscreen. A stylus makes it easier to draw, paint, sketch, even write, but you'll probably loose it too. If a screen saver has been applied, it may effect the power of the stylus.
The iPad requires a capacitive stylus, something that will conduct electric flow from your body to the screen. That's why your finger works so good, the screen was designed that way. Have a finger, always have a stylus with you. Have a glove on, not so much, electrical flow is blocked, unless you have conductive thread sewn into the finger tips of the gloves.
Can't decide on a stylus, cheap or pricey. Here are a couple of pricey models, Pogo Sketch Plus - Silver $14.95, Jot Stylus - $19.99 to $29.99. This discussion has been about cheap, but the cheap Universal, looks a lot like the Pogo Sketch Plus, do I smell a copy-cat here?
Or make your own stylus, cheap, easy, fun and you might learn something. Google "Make or DIY touch screen stylus". [...]
What'll you'll need: a cheap plastic or metal ink pen, un-insulated small-gauge wire, a sponge or conductive foam, and a pair of scissors. Now you can make your own stylus in 5-10 minutes. Use a sponge for the tip, have to add a drop or two of water. Go with the metal pen body, lose the wire.
What is conductive foam, It's a plastic foam that has been saturated with carbon particles, allowing it to dissipate static charges. Due to the high carbon content, it is usually black in color. It is frequently used for packaging or storing static-sensitive electronic components, such as MOSFET transistors and integrated circuits.

Good bargain
these are a very good way to use with your tablet without extra pressure on your fingers. Very affordable and easy to use.

Don't Buy These
They are super cheap to buy, but they look even cheaper when I opened the box. The rubber nub is too squishy and my iPad wouldn't recognize it. Read more
