    The Friendly Swede styluses



    like to use a stylus with my tablet rather than just my finger. At first we were buying them regularly. Rubber tipped ones which lasted no time.
    Then a friend recommended these from The Friendly Swede company. They are amazing, with metallic mesh type tip, they never wear out! We have several upstairs and downstairs so that we can always find one where we are.

    They look good Gem. I use a stylus when I'm using my Colouring in app on my ipad. Would be handy to have some spare.

      I bought some on Amazon from Port Designs, six or eight in a pack, for a silly amount of money - about four quid for the lot, this was ages ago. I have them all over the place, in bags, on the window sill, down the edge of the sofa, in my briefcase etc. I generally don't use them for iPad but do for my phones. I have work and private phones and find when I am on the tube or train it is difficult to send an accurate message sometimes with the movement.

        Zizi - I've always thought I didn't need a stylus - but I can see it would be great when you're trying to use your phone on the move. I'm forever hitting the wrong letters. Thanks for the tip - and thank Gem for the link.

            I have more than once been above ground on the tube or on the train and heard that a line has been suspended or has a problem and have sent a completely unintelligible message to people I am meeting to alert them by trying to type with my fingers. These little gadgets are especially useful if you know where the keys are, as I do, but don't have your glasses on!

                      These look great Gem. Thanks for recommending. I too have "fat finger syndrome" and need a stylus to do texts. The rubber ones are annoying as the ends seem to fall off and get lost. I will buy these and keep a few and give one each to the grandchildren. Nice colours too and lanyard is a great idea.

                        Gem do these definitely have metallic mesh tips as the site doesn't seem to say so and they look like rubber. I was going to get some for GS1 today and he pointed out that the write up doesn't mention this specification.

                          BL, mine definitely are, I'm using one now!

                          I went back into my amazon orders, and these are the ones I ordered.
                          Huge apologies if the original link I posted wasn't the right one.

                            Ah yes thanks. They definitely do say microfibre tips. Will go for those as apparently that is what makes the difference. I am suddenly learning more about styluses than I have ever known which is great since the rubber tipped ones keep breaking when I use them. I do wonder how we all managed before Amazon. I love it.
