Customer Review: Well worth the money, but a few caveats
Summary: 4 Stars
These styli are well worth the purchase price, but a few things are worth mentioning. The bottom portion of the stylus is screwed in (that's where the reset pin resides) and regularly becomes loose. When it first happened, I thought that the tip was mounted on a spring and it actually made the stylus more comfortable, though I suspect that the threading would wear out if one used it for long in that manner. One of the three styli had the plastic tip fall off. It's easy to fix with a drop of Krazy Glue, but if it fell off unnoticed, it would have rendered the entire stylus unusable. Keep an eye out for loose plastic tips! My final criticism is cosmetic. With heavy use, the chrome plating dulled within a couple of weeks where it makes contact with the skin (and I'm pretty sure I don't ooze hydrochloric acid).
With these or the original stylus, I strongly recommend the use of plastic screen protectors. The tips are relatively soft, but prolonged use will leave irreparable marks on an unprotected screen, especially on spots where you tend to tap most often.
Other than that, it's a great little product. The weight is good, though lighter than the original stylus, the pen writes very nicely and smoothly, and the reset pin is solid metal and doesn't bend out of shape like the flimsy plastic one on the original. With the appropriate (included) cap, it fits perfectly in the Tungsten E2 slot. I'll leave it to other reviewers to comment on the fit with other models.
