The Friendly Swede Replaceable Micro-Knit Tip Hybrid Stylus with Lanyards, Cloth and Tips (3 Pack) (Pink + Black + Grey)

I'm not sure if I've ever felt compelled to leave a review this quickly. I actually just got these in the mail today. I just bought a Samsung Chromebook Pro and have some qualms about using the plastic stylus that comes with the device. I used to own a Samsung Note II, and it's only a matter of time before it digs a scratch right into the screen as it did with my old device. I wasn't really sure what I was looking for or if they make it, but I typed "soft-tipped stylus" into the search thinking I'd find a rubber or silicone tipped stylus of some sort. I found these. I'm already in love. The stylus pens feel expensive and premium, while still being very light weight. The tips are soft and squishy, and kind of remind me of spandex or some other soft material. The packaging was a nice touch. It comes in a little resealable zip travel pouch, and even comes with a cleaning cloth and 3 extra tips (in addition to the 3 already attached). There is also some sort of tether to attach them to your device. I haven't gotten to use them a whole lot yet, but I tried out some doodles in Google Keep and I was impressed. The reason I bought a Chromebook that doubles as a tablet is because my line of work involves taking handwritten notes for clients, so half of the whole reason I got the device is for the stylus functionality. This will work perfectly for my needs, and I feel a lot better about using these stylus pens regularly than the ones that came with the device, knowing I'm a lot less likely to scratch the screen from continual use. These are functional and stylish, love them!

BEST STYLUS for my phone. I wouldn't use any other kind You can replace the tips also that's a Great feature.

Pros: Lightweight, feels good to hold. Tip doesn't loosen as quickly as others I've had. Includes lanyards - the end fits right into your audio slot so you won't ever lose your stylus again! Great value for the set of 3 + extra tip for each + the lanyards. Cons: The tip is too fat for me, not as accurate as my current Meko stylus. Tip seems a little rough and I wonder if it will hold up. This is a really nice set and I'm disappointed that the tip is so fat and bulky (see picture to compare to the Meko). I don't know why they made it that way; it is just a standard sized stylus. My other brands of these all have smaller tips. I've never used a lanyard with a stylus before and didn't really care about it being included at first, until I realized that the plastic end fits into the audio jack. I love this idea, I'm always losing my stylus or wandering off to another room with it. Although I really like my Meko stylus, it is twice as heavy as the Swede, the tip constantly needs tightening, and the tip starts ripping very quickly, probably partly because you always have to tighten it! I only used this Swede for one day but the fit of the head seems adequately snug. I notice that the micro-knit surface on the Swede feels a little rough as compared to the very smooth Meko. I don't know if that would equate to more wear and tear or not. I am considering returning these as I don't think I will adjust to the wider, fatter tip.

I love this brand of stylus! I buy a pack every year for family for Christmas. They last longer than a year but it’s a fun tradition and we can get fresh colors. These are used on our iPads and iPhones and they work perfectly- no scratches, streaks, or smudges. They work well for fast tapping in Match Madness on Duolingo :) The variety pack of colors is great - someone loves one of each color so they are easy to split up among us. We’re always happy with this great buy!

I'm a mom who plays puzzle games with my kids and fingers (especially wet/sweaty ones) are not the best "tool" for such games so I ordered these stylus for myself and for the kids. I also ordered the MEKO 2-in-1 precision series because my daughter loves drawing on her phone and I do know that this particular stylus may be a bit chubby and lack the precision for drawing. Anyway, the verdict is that I love the Friendly Swede stylus and yet my daughter preferred the MEKO ones all the way. Why? I guess it's because we have different habits/playing style. Here is the detail comparison of both and I hope that can help people choosing the one suits their needs better. The Friendly Swede ones are super light weight while the MEKO ones feels more solidly built and also a lot heavier. The weight does start to matter if you use the stylus for 30 minutes or longer. The MEKO ones also have a thicker rubber no-slip grip that's supposed to make holding it more comfortable. But this feature really doesn't matter due to the weight difference. I can hold the Friendly Swede one for a long time and doesn't feel a thing. The MEKO ones have two heads, one is the precision side with a disc and since the Friendly Swede doesn't have this feature we will be focusing on the knit head. The Friendly Swede has a much chubbier head and it is softer while the MEKO one is more sleek and harder. So again, it's a personal preference. I personally prefer the Friendly Swede one because I thought it requires a lot less effort. Sometimes when I need to move very fast on the screen the Friendly Swede one can do that without much force while with the MEKO one I had to push harder in order to keep the contact and that slows down my movement. However, my daughter doesn't seem to have a problem with that with the MEKO one and it could be that she is used to putting more force when playing to begin with. And since I preferred the Friendly Swede ones so I've been using it everyday for the past 7 months and I barely used the MEKO ones so it won't be fair to compare their durability. So I would only comment on the durability of the Friendly Swede one alone. As mentioned, I'd been using it very day and sometimes even two hours or more per day for the past 7 months. The head did come loose after a while but I just tightened it up so that's not a problem. The paint on the body does start to rub off, you can see it in the picture (sorry about the blurry picture, I'll try to take a better one later). It's actually not as bad as seen in the picture but definitely noticeable. It doesn't bother me but if it bothers you then you might want to take that into consideration. The knit head still functions perfect after 7 months extensive use. Another note is that I used it on iphones and on a Samsung tablet and it worked fine on both. So all in all I think it's definitely worth the money paid.
