Bamboo Stylus rubber nibs are produced with the highest quality materials to ensure the best on screen feeling and experience. However, as with most other things, after excessive or extended use it is possible that the nibs can show signs of wear. We rigorously test all Bamboo Stylus to ensure you get to enjoy them for as long as possible, however depending on your usage level at some point they may need replacing. The rubber nib design eliminates the need for users to apply heavy pressure when using on screen, which assists in extending the nib life. It is advisable to prevent the stylus from being dropped as this can cause premature nib damage.

So frankly a lovely pen that has transformative effects on your ipad but one that carries not only a heavy investment cost but seemingly a steep up-keep cost.
The problem this posed was obviously the absence of room for a pen and a notepad; especially if I was going for lunch, dinner or drinks with the client, following the meeting.
I did a bit of research and discovered several apps which could replace a paper notepad (my preference, in the end, being Penultimate) for taking meeting notes - the next challenge: to find a good stylus with which to write!
Before I start, I want to make it clear that purchases at this end of the financial scale are a grey area to me; investing £20 for a stylus does not mean that my family can't eat for a month, so if you pay attention to the other reviewers who class this as an "expensive item", then this review isn't for you.
I ordered several models to evaluate. The TRIXES High Quality HQ Stylus; the Universal Capacitive Stylus; the COLT HQ Stylus, and this, the Wacom Bamboo Solo Stylus.
Immediately upon opening, you can feel the quality of the Wacom Bamboo Stylus over the others listed above. It has a good weight to it, and feels of very solid build; the others had an almost hollow, plasticky feel to them, whereas the Bamboo felt well built. It's also of good size; I'm not a small guy, and have fairly big hands, so when I looked at the pictures of these styli on Amazon, I was slightly worried that they would be to fiddly. Certainly not the case with the Bamboo. It fits in my hand perfectly, and feels like a mid-range rollerball.
Second was the usage test.... Read more ›
Basically: don't go near it!
Style & Ergonomics - The stylus looks just like the picture and in my opinion a very nice design indeed. Weighs 18.9g, 120.8mm long, 9mm diameter (excluding clip). The clip comes off by screwing the top, personally I prefer it with as stops the stylus from rolling around. Feels light in the hand with a firm construction, black plastic main body is hollow but does not detract from the quality. The soft silocone tip writes well and have no worries that it will scratch the screen.
Proformance - This stylus (well all really) don't feel natural when navigating iOS and would even recomend agaist it due to the poor way it proforms when scrolling. Writing & drawing is what it's all about and used in conjunction with Bamboo Paper (Free App) is very good especially considering this is a capacitive surface**. When writing there is no issues like when scrolling more likely due to the extra pressure used. Seems to be quite accurate compared to the pressure touch screens I have used before
Final Thoughts - This pen looks great, feels good in the hand and is accurate for writing notes. The one thing that lets is down is the price as at £25 is expensive compared to other similar pens out there.
**I can even rest my hand on the screen while writing, this only occasionlly causes any errors too.
But I've yet to use it extensively.
I'll try to add to this review a bit more later
My only wish would be for the nib to be smaller, as it can get in the way when trying draw intricate... Read more
