The Best iPad Stylus for Extra Precision for Your iPad Use
By BRIAN SLATER
These days everyone knows what a stylus is because they are the familiar pens that are for operating touch screen devices like the iPod Touch and the iPhone. They are also the same pens we use for our iPads.
Although the iPads are designed to be controlled by touch screen mode, it still pays to have a stylus as an iPad accessory. I keep one with me because it enables me to activate the touch screen with greater precision. It’s also great with drawing applications because it enables you to draw more accurately.
Just picture it like this: you know it’s much easier drawing fine lines with a fine-tipped pencil than scrawling your finger on your iPad screen, isn’t it? Apart from that, styluses provide the convenience of operating your iPad anytime and anywhere without taking off your gloves in cold weather.
For women with manicured nails, the feel is also quite awkward trying to use their fingertips on the screen. Apart from the convenience, styluses are also good for your iPad because they prevent fingerprints and scratches from getting on the screen.
Before being able to acquire a list of some very good styluses, I ran along some very poor ones. Not all styluses are really the same and that is what I have found out.
There are those that just seem to be pseudo-pens and then there are those that really feel good in your hand as they can glide smoothly on the screen. I got some really good ideas through friends who’ve tried different styluses, and here are those that worked exceptionally well and all of these are guaranteed to satisfy your needs.
BoxWave Capacitive iPad Stylus (Jet Black)
This elegant black stylus is compatible with all capacitive touch screens and that includes your precious iPad. It comes in a stylish pen form with a firm yet soft round end.
It’s so much better that just using your fingers because it allows you to navigate through the controls of your device with more exactness. It’s also good when you’re wearing gloves in cold weather because with this, you don’t need to take your hand protection off.
This handy little pen also keeps the fingerprints away from your iPad’s screen so it stays crystal clear for you to enjoy the view. It glides along the screen smoothly with hardly any friction and it’s very responsive.
It’s great for dealing with very fine details like drawing and doing paint applications. You can catch this product in other great colors such as Metallic Silver, Lunar Blue and Crimson Red.
Acase Apple iPad Capacitive Stylus (Jet Black)
Here’s another stylus that works with any capacitive touch screen.
It’s very durable so it feels good and firm in your hands. It has a nice firm, round tip that glides easily on your iPad screen so you can navigate through it with greater accuracy.
This one is great if you love dealing with photos and other things with fine details because it allows you to actually pinpoint any spot on your iPad’s screen.
This stylus is also just the right size and weight for your comfort and it’s not too thin for big hands and not too heavy either. It comes in a beautiful black color that really goes well with your device too.
There are other colors you can choose from as well, like silver, blue and red.

This stylus is great for giving your computer documents a personal touch and it works well with drawing and writing applications so you can make smooth signatures the way you would with an ordinary ink pen and paper.
And because the tip is made of soft rubber, you can trust that it won’t scratch your precious iPad’s screen. Now that’s a cool way to use your iPad as well as keep fingerprints away from the touch screen.

I don't own an iPad but I have been meaning to get a stylus for my iPhone. I find that the keyboard is so small when texting and even though it has a spell checker as you go, I still make mistakes.
