I got SketchTime a while ago when it was free for a limited time and it's wrist protection worked pretty well for me. But I must admit that I didn't make much use of it.
Never missed it. I am WAY faster with typing (ten fingers blind skilled) or with the great dictation function and I am not a great visual/painting artist. For the few sketches that I needed on the iPad my finger(s) did it. For me it's hard to write with a finger, I am slow, need too much space and can hardly read it afterwards. Not that my writings would look bad on paper.
But promised: When I see a stylus next time I will try it. Are they safe for the touchscreen? No scratches? No chemical layers/coatings added by Apple will be distorted?
And I know that many people want it. So there is definitely a market for apps like this.
Generally they are safe, but I also put a protector on everything portable I have...
And sure, wrist protection is still better than nothing, but the problem is that I also lay down my pinky on whatever I write on. Go figure.
I'm similarly fast with a keyboard (a real keyboard), but the problem is that sometimes I need to make quick additions or sketches on the side or I use pictography to shorten long words, etc etc...
I'm a VERY bad keyboard user for taking notes of lectures or such, I'm much more relaxed and productive with handwriting.
I think that's very individual, however I think Apple should really get their act together here.
Oh and don't get me started on the iPad's keyboard... it's awkward for me...
I can type much faster on the iPhone's narrow (portrait) keyboard than on the landscape one, it get's much worse on the iPad, so yeah... again: go figure
