Ten One Design Pogo Stylus

Whether you’re fat-fingered, or just kind of OCD about a clean screen, the Pogo comes in handy.

The iPhone is a Type-A personality’s BFF. There, we said it.

We rarely go anywhere without it, and we’re constantly tap-tap-tapping away at our iPhone’s touchscreen. From the moment we bought our 3G, waiting became (almost) joyful! The only problem is our complete lack of virtual-keyboard skills. Enter the Pogo Stylus.

If you’re fine tapping on a touch or iPhone with a finger, then move along—nothing to see here. But for those of us who could use a little help with accuracy—or just like a clean screen—the Pogo is amazingly useful. A small stylus—3.5 inches long and 1/4 inch in diameter—the Pogo is made from light aluminum and comes in 3 cool matte colors: red, gray, and black. At first we were resistant to the optional clip, but it does come in handy. The stylus’s fit is a bit snug, but in a good it’s-not-going-to-get-lost way.

The stylus was comfy to use and surprisingly responsive. The small tip with its patent-pending technology makes for fast and smudge-free navigation. And we jammed through everything we normally would do with our fingertips. It’s great for games or other apps where accuracy counts, and those of you residing in colder climes will appreciate it when the gloves go on.

THE BOTTOM LINE
The Pogo Stylus could be a little slimmer, but it cut our thumb-dancing and OSSR (obsessive screen smudge removal) time in half.
