GoSmart Professional 200M Stylus for Apple iPad, iPad 2, iPad Air, iPhone - Blue

I'll begin by stating I use this with an iPad mini, and was previously an Adonit Jotnot Pro user. I have not used any other styluses for a significant period of time (though did briefly test a few rubber-ended (or rubber-like material) styluses).Things I've enjoyed: I appreciate that - thus far - I haven't experienced the awful sound of a small grain of...something...being caught between the stylus & my screen (as can often happen with a jotnot pro stylus).Things I don't care either way about:The sound did not seem to be an improvement over the Adonit jot not; as I recall, something cited as a bonus in the descriptions for these styluses as it is supposedly quieter than others. Simply, the sound is different. The writing quality doesn't seem to be better, to me. I still have missed strokes. I don't feel that my writing is any more precise than it is with an Adonit jot not pro.Things I don't like:This is not a strong dislike but, as you can see from the pictures, this stylus only works in one position, (or, a very limited range of angles) and you can't simply twirl it around as some people might do when thinking between writing. You have to be conscious about how you hold it.I don't like that my writing is not more precise than with the jot not (and, really, I feel that sometimes it is worse).Ultimately:this has become my primary stylus now simply because - despite having always used a screen protector on my iPad mini - I don't wish to have to take extra precaution to wipe my screen with a microfiber cloth (or, some other cloth) to prevent small grains of...something...from getting between the Adonit jot not pro & the screen (and making fine scratches in the protector). Otherwise, I am sure I'd switch about equally between the 2 styluses (and perhaps even use the Adonit jot not pro more).

I have used the Sponge Heads for about a year now. I take all my notes on Notability on a Ipad3. It has ScreenGuard protector bought for cheap at cellphoneshop. I love/ hate this Stylus. Love= working. Hate= Broken tip.You can see what you are writing. In the search for Sponge Heads I spent about $80 one weekend. They were fine - I liked the M-Edge Stylus and the Kikkerland Pen-Stylus. We even handed out the JotPros at our iPad Sales Force training. We were short one so I didn't get one. :(But then I was reading about new stylus options and found the GoSmart. I first got mine in Oct 2013 and I am totally committed. This is the one for me. Combined with Notability it is a managers best set-up.Get the extra tips - I bought a spare tip with my original order. The tips will break at some point - at least they did for me. I view it as a minor inconvenience - I have tried the Jot Pro and at times it just stops writing - that never happened with the GoSmart. There is no better writing tip than this - I hope the GoSmart team can get it to be a just a little more stout. In any case - it is the best I have tried and I will keep using it and I will be ordering the tips in pairs. The support team at GoSMart has been very helpful. I think with care I should be able to get 75 to 100 days - I will double back to confirm.For a superior writing and drawing experience it is well worth it. Jot NOT - Go Smart!

I'm not much of a fan of this stylus. I admit, I bought it on hope that the unique design was worth it, but I can't get over the sound and constant thought it is scratching my iPad. I still use it occasionally, but I prefer the rubber tipped stylus better. It is exact what was described and comes with a great case, but its a little odd for me.

I ordered this 200 series stylus to accompany my 300 series one, which I've had for about two months. Love them both immensely. The 200 series had a bit more heft, which I like a lot, and I like the more natural pen look. 300 series had held up well, so I expect this one will as well. No problem with the nib. In fact, it almost conforms to the way you write after a little while. Plus, it's super smooth and hasn't left one scratch on my iPad screen. All of my other (MANY) styluses are stored away now that I've got my GoSmart styluses. Totally recommend this one.Plus, the seller is amazing. Can't lose, IMO.

Within 20 minutes of beginning to use this stylus, I scratched the gorilla glass on my iPad. I have been using the Jot Pro for a couple of weeks without this issue. The GoSmart stylus seems to work as good as the Jot in terms of accuracy (Though, the Jot needed to have thermal grease applied to it). Unacceptable for a stylus to use material that would scratch the screen of my iPad. I heard a funny scraping noise and stopped writing. Small scratch, but this stylus is not worth the risk.

I really liked this stylus quite a bit. The problem is the metal coil is fragile, and it broke off because I dropped it. So, for the money it wasn't the best deal.

I use my iPad for note taking in class. It seems to be accurate, but nothing above more affordable styluses. It also makes squeaky noises when writing, which can be very annoying in quiet classrooms. The aluminum body is good, but with a little moister, it oxidizes black...you'd expect that for the price, the metal would have been treated.

Best precision stylus for ipad for the price so far, but hard to control, clumsy. Much improvement when using an inexpensive pencil grip.
