Hey everyone. I wanted to do a short review on the stylus I just received in the mail from best stylus. You can find these at http://beststylus.com/
Keep in mind that I have tried both the Pogo and the Dagi stylus - as well as contemplated getting the Boxwave stylus after reading about it in the longer stylus thread found here:
https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/858985/
The one thing I noticed about this stylus right off the bat was true to the description on the website, you hardly have to touch the display at all to get it to activate. Even the VERY lightest touch gets the job done.
My main purpose for wanting a stylus was for taking notes during meetings and conference calls at my job. I found the dagi and pogo to be somewhat inaccurate and not very smooth. My Dagi, much like experienced by some others, suddenly stopped responding. I would have to switch my angles continuously to get it to respond on screen and I am very careful with the way I take care of my accessories.
While I do not feel that everyday use for things such as typing on the iPad would be easier with this stylus like the site claims, I will say that it is a welcome addition to my collection. I find it incredibly easy using apps like Penultimate and Note Taker HD to stay inside the smaller lines on paper. Here are some quick tests in Penultimate. Keep in mind I have pretty horrible handwriting so some of you may have much nicer results.

The model I ordered was the 5" wand in aluminum. I am not sure what they used for the tip, but its not the normal conductive foam and seems to work much better. Pics below.

Overall, extremely satisfied. This is the first stylus that I truly felt was review worthy. Hope this helps some of you that are trying to find a great stylus.
