 Best stylus for the iPad July 2, 2010
Jason M. Stone (Falls Church, VA USA)

So, it seems like the iPad stylus getting all the attention and adoration is the Pogo Sketch Stylus. Having just spent a week using it, I can honestly say it's a piece of crap. The tip is overly soft and flops back and forth while you write. It also requires that you press entirely too hard before the iPad senses it. I now take all my meeting notes on my iPad, and the Pogo Sketch was too thin which, combined with the amount of pressure required, makes longer note-taking sessions actually a bit painful.
So, at my co-worker's suggestion, I ordered the BoxWave stylus. It's a thousand times better. The tip is more firm and rounded, so it doesn't move while using it. It feels more like a real pen, instead of a bad paintbrush. I suppose it costs a few bucks more, but it's worth it. Going from the Pogo Sketch to the BoxWave was like going from a Toyota Yaris to an Audi R8.
Actually, that's insulting to the Toyota...

I used the pogo stylus for two months before I lost it. Looking at the reviews on Amazon, I decided to check out the boxwave. Paired with penultimate, the best sketchbook and note taking app on the iPad, I no longer use pen and paper. It's that good. The tip on boxwave is far more responsive and the body of the pen feels substantial. Apple should adopt this as an official accessory for the iPad.
Better than Pogo stylus July 31, 2010

I had bought the Pogo Stylus and within a day the clip broke off. A couple of weeks later I ordered this Boxwave stylus from Amazon and it turned out to be significantly better and actually usable without fatiguing my hand. The key differences are:
1. The Pogo tip is soft like a sponge so it moves back and forth (often I thought the tip would fall off) and it requires too much pressure on the iPad. The Boxwave tip is a firmer and smoother material and is rounded; it does not require as much pressure for the iPad to consistently recognize it. The tip also does not move around when writing. Great for drawing and handwriting recognition.
2. The Pogo stylus is too thin so it is very difficult to use for extended periods especially with the extra pressure it requires; the hand get fatigued quickly. I stopped using the Pogo after the first couple of days. The Boxwave is the right thickness and weight so on the iPad it feels like using a pencil or a pen.
3. The plastic clip on the Pogo broke off the first day. The Boxwave has a stronger metal clip.
4. The Boxwave stylus has a removable, short lanyard that attaches the pen to the headphone jack of the iPad so you don't lose it. (but you do have to pull it out to use because the lanyard is not long enough). The Pogo stylus has no lanyard.
The Boxwave stylus is definitely worth the extra money and it comes in four different colors.

I purchased this stylus to use with my Ipad and wasn't sure how well it would work. After receiving it and testing it out, I was amazed how well it worked with my Notepad app. I now have a way to take my class notes digitally which saves paper and is super convenient. This pen is built well, and I think it will last a long time. Again, if you need a stylus for writing on your Ipad, this one is your best bet. I have big hands and have no problem using it. It's the perfect size, not too big and not too small.
Get's the job done!! July 14, 2010

I have owned the BoxWave Apple iPad Capacitive Stylus for over a month now and so far it's done an excellent job. For one, the quality is excellent! It feels like a very nice pen. The clip is solid and I can't see it breaking off anytime soon. The tip is a soft rounded semi circle. It's weird to write with at first, but after a few times you get used to it. I use it for taking notes in my notepad application and it gets the job done!
Do not pay any attention to the review by "Denise". It is clear that she works for TouchTec and has never owned the BoxWave stylus. Even if the touchtec is superior over the BoxWave I would not purchase it just on sheer "bad ethics" on TouchTec's part. To have an employee, family member, or whatever write a poor review based on nothing is just awful!
I can't say that I've compared this stylus to any others in the market, but this one definitely serves it's purpose and is good enough for me!
