Fed up with fingermarks and smears on the glossy screen of my Blackberry Playbook, I bought this stylus. I am not disappointed. The tip is soft and produces a quick and positive response on the Playbook. I like the spongy feel of the tip when I apply a little pressure on the screen. It takes a little getting used to dragging it across the screen to simulate finger swipes, but it works well once the technique is mastered.
The plug to fit the headphone jack is a nice touch, and I have already fashioned a holder from black duct tape on the Playbook case (and it actually looks OK!) so the stylus sits nicely on the side like a diary pen.
I have only just acquired these and have yet to see how long lasting they are -mindful of other reviews of similar products. I will update this review if there is anything more to add.
Very good value indeed when bought as a twin-pack, and I can't see that more expensive products could offer more (longevity excepted!)
So far, so good.

Update... one day later.
I have lost one of the two styli to my daughter for her Samsung Galaxy S2 phone and my partner has tried one on her Nokia N97 mini phone and loves it. I am now going back to order another pair. Under orders! I think this speaks for itself about the neatness and functionality of this product. As above, I will watch out for longevity issues and report back.

Update a month later:
Still doing fine. No loss of function in any way. Quite robust, no problems. Can't ask for anything more.

Update three months (almost) later:
Still no problems, still good as new.... I think I'll only add an update now if there is a problem. Still highly recommended :-)
