Having spent nearly 15 on a JustMobile stylus not that long ago, I was pretty cross when the rubber tip disintegrated ... So I decided to give the cheaper ipad 2 stylus which are available a chance to shine...and this is a great little chap. Slim to hold, has got a wee attachment so you can leave it plugged into your iPad when not in use, it is every bit as good as more expensive brands. If this only lasts 4 months it won't hurt my wallet so much to replace, and I do not consider it a compromise in any way. Do not be put off by the (cheap) price, it's really good!
