Ten One Pogo

Subject line says it all.... Bought for use on an iPad. It works, however, the shaft of the device is not long enough so it does not fit in the hand like a pen, and the head of the device is too big to get fine control. It is like trying to use a fat short sausage to write on your iPad.

Though it does work reasonably well the stylus is smaller than I expected and little more than a small thin black tube with a "sponge" on the end. For the price I'd hoped for something more the size of a pen and less like a mascara applicator.

Received this item and it is really terrible. Looks like a 5 year old made it and glued a fluffy bit onto the end of a lolly stick...Buy the mi Stylus but even that is not perfect.

This is a hopeless product. It is too short to hold like a pen and the end is too fat so you cannot write or control the iphone or ipad accurately. If you want a stylus look elsewhere!

Dirigez vous plutot sur le Bamboo Stylus de chez Wacom. Mieux vaut rajouter quelques euros et avoir de la qualité.

If you are used to the Palm Pilot Stylus, then you might have to take some time getting used to this thicker diameter stylus. The tip is made of some sort of "styrofoam" and the diameter is similar to that of a pencil erasure. The diameter itself is what takes time to get used to since it's more clumsy than precise. Overall, it's pretty effective and much better than any other stylus on the market for the iPhone. If you have a screen protector, this stylus will require a lot more pressure to use. I would say that 80% of the time it works fine, the other 20% you will need to re-press the affected area... when used with a screen protector. There is a break in period. At first use, the tip of the stylus doesn't slide as well along the iPhone screen, however, after a couple of weeks usage, the tip becomes softer and smoother to use, making it a lot easier to slide on the screen. So give it a chance and you will be very happy using this stylus. Still wish it came with a narrower tip and was much heavier. It's very light since it's just a hollow piece of aluminum. The pogo also comes with a couple of iPhone Stylus holders that I find is much more effective than the competition that use a "pen cap" approach of keeping your stylus attched to your phone. Hope this helps a few.

Well this stylus is made for the Iphone, and Ipod Touch (why not call it the Itouch?...guess that could be taken the wrong way), but me being such a maverick bought this little beast for my Ipad.I know what you are thinking, "This kid is nuts!" well hang in there, I am going to blow your mind with this......"It works WONDERS!"Sick of finger prints on your screen? Sick of Steve Jobs telling you that writing with your finger is possible when we all know he is completely insane? Well break away from the pack and buy one of these! You could of course make your own stylus out of a pen, conductive material (aluminum foil, anti-static bag) and maybe a touch of happy thoughts, but if you like your $700 investment like I do, spend a few bucks so you don't scratch your screen.Break Down:Pros:1)Super small, Super simple, It is a Stylus and that is it, don't expect it to make you breakfast or anything.2)Soft Soft Soft - You never have to worry about scratching your screen, I am hoping they design a chair out of the stylus material, this stuff is amazing.3)It just works, when you use it on the screen it is just like as if you use a finger, no more, no less.Cons:1)Super small...I guess this can be a Con as well because I will most likely lose it, but for the price I can get a few more for safe keeping. If I am not mistaken they make a larger one specifically for the Ipad, although it did not fit as well in my case.2)Don't expect to draw a Picasso, It is a stylus but for those who aren't informed, the Ipad will only accept something that is near finger size as a touch input device and therefore you cannot use anything fine point. ALTHOUGH: Some people have mad skill, I do not, I have seen some amazing drawings done with these but for your normal pencil artist this won't cut it.Final Thoughts:I really enjoy this, and I feel you will as well, like I stated before it is a stylus, and it works as such.

This is a great stylus if you're only going to use it for typing or navigating around your device. I purchased it for the ipad and I've tried it on my Blackberry Storm 2 and both devices respond well to it however when I tried using it in the Application Penultimate for ipad....the response time and strokes were off. Some of the strokes didn't even appear. It doesn't do well with handwritten notes. It also doesn't do well with more complicated sketches where you need to work with some fine lines. If you want to just doodle then it's great for that but I'm a graphic designer and when I'm brainstorming, I need a little more precision so I probably won't use this stylus for anything graphics related. The tip of the stylus is really spongy and it looks and feels more like the material used to make eye shadow applicators lol. I have a feeling that the tip may wear down very easily so it's a good idea to have more than one on hand. I'm going to keep it but I went ahead and purchased a Dagi Stylus to see if that one would be better for me. I think the Dagi is more of what I'm looking for in stylus. Google Dagi Stylus and you'll see what I'm talking about. It has a lot more precision.

This was a new experience for me, the whole stylus deal. I was kind of on the fence about it, but it was like 1/3 of the normal price, and I had about 5 dollars in promotional credit, so I said why not. Shamefully, I will use my iPhone/iPod Touch until the tips of my fingers literally get sore. Yes, I need iPhone Anonymous... but anyway -- my goal was to find well, a stylus to help me navigate around my iPhone as not to put as much strain on my hands/fingers after a while (or at least to swap out).Being my first time trying a stylus with these devices, I can give my immediate and unbiased opinion of what thoughts passed through my mind as I tried it for the first time.My first thought was "wow... this is it?" LOL, it felt like one of those color art pencils used for drawing, cut in half with a little bit of iPod earbud pads (the little black things) glued to the end. I considered the thought that I possibly could have created this myself in the lab for pennies. Then I decided, let's give it a shot. Second thought was "wow, this thing is a little too short" -- now I know what you ladies feel like sometimes. With my burly man hands (not really) I can palm the top of the stylus and still use it on the screen. In fact, that's how I would use it trying to figure out the best way... I'd palm the end of it, then brace the rest with my index finger and thumb. Kinda like I was using a shading pencil or something? (I'm no artist, for sure)Next, after trying it for a second, my impression was "wow", you really have to put significant pressure on the screen with the tip to get it to respond. Almost uncomfortable pressure, in that it makes me feel like I could scratch or break the screen. Tapping is the same way... it's not just a little gingerly *tap*... you gotta pull back and put some a-- into it to get it to take the click, again. I was not expecting to have to use this much pressure at all. The end result was that it didn't pick up half the taps/swipes, etc that I tried... but when I did it to where they would surely register, I was waiting for my screen to crack. This was on an iPhone with no cover on it... rather, no screen protector. Bare screen, so it's not like that was a factor in dulling the sensitivity.The thing is about the length of my middle finger, which is what I give to Ten One for... nah. I'm just kidding!Truly, though... I tried it on several different devices from iPhone 3GS, to iPhone 4, iPod Touch 3rd and 4th generation... Same result. I suppose I was so used to the very light touch that the screen responds to when using my actual fingers; just expect this beforehand: it's not that smooth and soft of a touch. I may try and upload some photos if they don't have too many already up there, maybe one showing size relative to something common... maybe a video if I can to show how it fails to respond on most of my swipes and taps.And the biggest letdown is that after messing with this thing for a few minutes on a few different days, it found its permanent home in my junk drawer, never to be touched since. I agree with one reviewer who said that it needs to be a bit longer... it does; I feel like I'm holding a golf pencil.For five bucks, I just called my losses, $5 wasn't the end of the world. Check the user photos section and I'll try and upload some of this stub. LOL. Oh, and the spongy type tip is about the size of an eraser head. Maybe if it were a bit more tapered or a bit more solid (without going so far as to destroy the screen) it would probably act better, I think. Oh well. This'll be my last stylus experiment! Should've stuck with the 10 stylus' that I was born with! ;)

I bought two different pens to see which one was the best. I really was open minded about the two of them and really hoped to get them both to work since me and my wife both have iPads and iPhones. But after playing with it for 2 straight days this pen is NOT THE ONE. I have to press really hard to get a really good feel. It is extremely HORRIBLE to write in cursive and most of the time it does not even work correctly. The letters seem to come out like blocks or with missing parts, UNLIKE the ACASE stylus Acase Apple iPad Capacitive Stylus (Jet Black). WOW, what a difference. Get the Acase and you will be extremely happy.I give this pen a two star because it kinda worked, it kinda served its purpose but you don't want to DRIVE a car that kinda gets you to where you need to get to. I need this pen to do its job and I need it to help me do my job but its not letting me do it. Too bad I threw away all the plastic and covers it came with... otherwise I would have returned it.DON'T BUY IT for the iPhone 4 or the iPad, IT DOES NOT WORK.***UPDATE***After a few more days of having this pen as you can read above I gave up and GAVE the pen to my two year old daughter to PLAY with her iPod touch and she LOVES it, she now uses it for everything.If you want to GAMBLE when buying this product you will have a 50/50 chance and see if it actually work a for you. This pen is NOT for everybody. Acase Apple iPad Capacitive Stylus (Jet Black)

I have used this stylus on an iPad 2 and a 3rd generation iPod Touch. It works better on the iPad than it did on the iPod touch. On the iPod you need to press down on in a bit more but it still works fine. It hardly needs pressurre at all to work on the iPad! I was in a notetaking app and dropped the stylus while writing, and it drew a line as it rolled across the screen! Obviously it didn't need much pressure to do that! It is pretty short (about half an inch shorter than the ipod touch) but I didn't find that it hindered my writing with it. I imagine that if you plan on writing for long periods of time it could be bad, as it's a bit thinner than a standard pen.The tip is round and the same size as the rest of the stylus, but like I said, that is thinner than a standard pen or pencil, so unless you need pinpoint precision, it does it's job wonderfully!Highly recommend!

UPDATED REVIEW - I admit that I didn't like it at first but I'm revising my review now that I have used it some more. It does take a bit more pressure than using just your finger, which was a little challenging at first, but I kept working with it and now I'm happy with it. I only use this for drawing and painting programs, not for typing or anything else so I can't speak to that type of use. I don't think I would be able to do the drawings that I have done without it. It's thinner than your finger so drawing detail is much easier. If you use drawing or painting programs then take the time to get used to it and I think you'll be happy with it.I would give it 5 stars instead of 4 if it didn't take the extra pressure to use compared to a finger.

I haven't used any other stylus, so I can only leave feedback about this Pogo... I love it! I have long fingernails and was having a very hard time using my iphone .... now I can use it with great ease. This pogo even came with a slim bracket to attach the stylus to the iphone... very slick looking. I am very impressed with this item! My husband now wants one for his iphone because his fingers are big and it's hard for him to use the keyboard.I give this stylus 5 starz! JMHO //(*_*)\\

I bought this item because I needed something to use when it's cold outside. Also, I needed a product that would help me with my carpal tunnel issues.This product isn't that great. It takes a little bit of pressure to get the device to respond. It also hurts my hands after just a bit of use. Therefore, I don't use it that often.There are times when it works well, but it's not all the time. If you want to try it, it was cheap enough, but you'll do better using your fingers.

Pogo stylus with foam like tip, should come with every iTouch. Sure beats trying to use your finger. Now I can see where I'm typing, drawing, etc. Is a little pricey at $20 with S&H, especially when you can get one for pennies on specials being offered on Amazon. Only difference is the latter are to short to feel comfortable in large hand.

Smaller than I thought, which is good, and the clip does fit my 1st generation iPod touch. The tip is made of some kind of foam material, which is weird. I thought it would be denser and more solid, but this works. You have to press rather than just tap like with your finger. Seems like it will be good for drawing and stuff though so I'm happy. :)

I love the stylus in that it makes it easier to write on my ipad when i take notes in class, since it feels more like i have a pen. The tip, however, is foam and tends to move around a lot when i write, exposing the sharp aluminum edges and scratching my screen. I would say for other than pointing and clicking purposes, this stylus has the potential to really scratch your screen. beware and make sure you have a screen protector if you do use this stylus.

Great

I just got this and it works well with my iPod Touch. I have a screen protector on my iPod Touch and it works well through that. Sometimes it seems that it needs a little extra pressure, but I'm sure some of that has to do with the way the iPod touch screen work (capacitive, not pressure sensitive).
