My original broke, and to buy a new one is over £40, so i bought this and it is better than the original.
It is longer, so you can get it away from the window, and nearer to you, which is great for touch screen etc.
It is not only longer, but it is also flexible, which i did not realise at first, as its very solid, and i did not want to break it... trust me, i dont think you can, its very solid.
Would recommend to anyone.
