AluPen: Putting Styl Back Into Stylus

The AluPen from Just Mobile is by far the best stylus I have ever used. I use a lot of writing apps on my iPad, and have used a lot of styli. The AluPen is light years ahead of the competition, and its stylish design and great feel make it a must have for anyone in the market for a new stylus.

The AluPen is crafted from aluminum and features a rubber tip at its end—making it usable with any touch screen device. As soon as you hold the AluPen you will feel the difference from other styli. The rubber tip seems to glide right across the screen making movement and writing smooth and simplistic. Although the Alupen’s rubber tip looks like it would not be very precise, it has almost pinpoint accuracy. The stylus also comes in several different colors including black, red, green, blue, and gold.

There are a few downsides to the stylus, but they hardly detract from its strengths. The biggest issue is its size. The AluPen is fairly large, and some iOS device users might not feel comfortable carrying it around with them. However, its size also makes it feel more like an actual pen which some people might like. The only other downside is the price. While many styli sell for around $10 to $15, the AluPen sells for $21.99. Though it carries a bit higher price tag, the stylus is well worth the money. It’s not going to break from a fall, or snap in your pocket from sitting on it. You get what you pay for, and the AluPen is definitely a quality item.
