Nice idea, hard to refill, February 17, 2008
A flag-highlighter is a good idea, but it's hard to replace the flags because the cover is so tightly attached to the pen. There's no trick to it, no special cover position or anything like that. It's just a matter of applying brute force. Grab the barrel of the pen in one hand and the cover in the other and wrench it back and forth until the cover comes off.

Attention Students!, February 25, 2004
I was given one of these highlighters for work. I must admit, it can come in handy!
On a regular day of work - I do not use it other than for highlighting here & there. However, when attending a meeting, this pen was wonderful! Not only could I highlight the main points of interest, but I could flag the pages I knew I wanted to refer back to - or show a co-worker - etc.
My recommendation would be for college students. I can see where this would be a very useful tool for the full time student. As far as office use (unless you do a lot of flagging of materials) - I can't say it helped me in my daily routine any.

Good in theory, bad in practice, May 15, 2008
I am graduate student and do a lot of reading on a daily basis. I find myself using highlighters and Post-it flags frequently while reading. So, when I saw this product, I got excited about it and bought a few of them - I needed one in every color, of course :)
Well, I used them for a little more than a month before going back to the "old fashioned" highliters and flags. Mainly, this was because the highlighter would dry out when I still had plenty of flags leftover. And, as someone else mentioned already, it is very difficult to replace the flags. So, I found it irritating to constantly have to yank the flags out and add them to a new highlighter.
Plus, the highlighter tip gets "blunt" very quickly. After a few uses, the tip would no longer make sharp highlights and would, instead, make thick highlights. I'd end up highlighting two lines of an article instead of just the one that I intended to highlight.
For me, this product turned out to be pretty impractical. Again, I tend to do a lot of highlighting, so that is probably why. Otherwise, I am sure that it would be great.
All in all, this product is great in theory and pretty cool, too. But, for me, it is much more practical to just carry around a little case where I keep only my highlighters, pens, and posit-its.
I think that the pen version of this product might be good though...as long as you can replace the ink in the pen, as well as the flags. Otherwise, the same problems would arise.
