Product Description

Product Description

Superbly designed using a light-weight aluminum alloy and detailed graphics, the Pogo Sketch features a look that's hard to ignore. The soft tip glides easily over the surface of your trackpad or display, making it fun and easy to sketch, draw characters, or just slide to unlock. Sized for comfort, it does away with inaccuracies common to fingertip-only use.Turn your MacBook trackpad into a pen tablet for premium drawing programs! The new multi-touch trackpads allow the Pogo Sketch to control your favorite drawing programs (like, say Scribbles). Wear gloves in the winter? We do. With an iPhone, the stylus allows you to answer calls and surf the web all while keeping your hands toasty. Longer nails can be a problem with touchscreen devices. Using your Pogo Sketch, you'll soon find that problem is history! Lastly, the cool, glossy Pogo Sketch pocket clip will keep your stylus close by, wherever you are.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best stylus for iPhone/iPod Touch drawing applications, June 2, 2009

By	Nik K. (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews

I was skeptical before ordering this. My main goal was to find a stylus with enough precision to use with a painting app for the iPhone called "Brushes". If you happen to be looking for the same, look no further.

The problem with most stylus-like devices for capacitive touch devices such as the iPhone is that the minimum diameter required to register a "touch" is actually quite large. I suspect this was done to lessen the frequency of accidental touches. So, the trick here is to find a stylus that meets the minimum diameter requirements while still delivering the precision needed.

This is where the Pogo Sketch really shines. The barrel of the device is incredibly slim but still comfortable in the hand. The length is also perfect-- just barely longer than the length of an iPhone, it's sure to fit wherever your iphone is stored. The contact point of the device is a small fuzzy head. I'm not sure what the material is but it's slightly squishy. The great part is that the head is small enough that it doesn't obscure the view of what you're touching.

In practice:
Wow. Absolutely smooth. In use, the Pogo Sketch glides across the glass of an iPhone. There is just the tiniest bit of drag, but it feels very natural. Next, pressure: This is very important. Little pressure is needed to register a touch on the device. The original Pogo Stylus really lacked in this area, you have to press quite hard which can be uncomfortable for long periods of use.

Conclusion:
If you're looking for a stylus for any of the painting/drawing apps for the IPhone/iPod Touch, this is really top notch. If you're looking for a stylus for day-to-day use of your iPhone/iPod Touch, IMHO, you should really just use the best natural stylus available- your index finger.

Pros:
Super slim form, precise
Little pressure needed
Glides easily

Cons:
I can't really think of any. This exceeded my expectations. I suppose I could say something about the price being a little high, but it's a niche market.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than its older brother., April 4, 2009

By	Kate R. "Kate" - See all my reviews

I have the older version of this stylus and I finally got fed up when I lost it for the millionth time so I ordered this one and I couldn't be happier!

This stylus' earlier version worked but it was short and had no real way to keep it near by without putting it in your pocket, the clip it came with was made to fit an iphone as opposed to an ipod touch.

This one how ever features a pen clip and a hole at the very top to string a lanyard to, which i have done.

I absolutely love this stylus and i would recommend it to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Device for Games, Typing, and Internet on iPod Touch, February 20, 2009

By	Jane Bailey (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Yes, it's a bit spendy for what you get, but what you get is a tool that makes your iPod Touch experience significantly more comfortable -- and precise.

Typing: Let's face it -- thumbs were not meant for precision work, like typing on a tiny little QWERTY keyboard. If you know your way around a standard keyboard, you'll double your speed and accuracy with this device. Yes, you have to use a bit more pressure than a finger to get the same results, but it's negligible, and that's a sacrifice I'm more than willing to make for increased accuracy and speed.

Internet: If you need to click inside a tiny little box to enter a user name or password, it's quick and precise with this little tool. (I still "pinch" to increase and decrease screen size, and use my fingers or thumb to perform other functions that don't require a lot of precision.) Clicking on links or articles within web pages is much easier with this tool than a finger.

Games: Some of the games I like to play require a lot of clicking, or clicking and dragging (Bejeweled, BrainThaw, Chicktionary, TapTap Revenge) and the stylus works much better for these than a finger -- and causes less muscle cramping and fatigue. The stylus length is about 1/2 inch longer than the iPod device, which makes it more comfortable to use than the shorter Pogo stylus (or the short stylus devices that come with Nintendo DS). A full size pen would be even better.

Overall, this little device does exactly what I had hoped for: it makes my iPod Touch experience easier and more comfortable. (Oh yeah -- it's also a very classy looking tool, and ultra lightweight.)
