Post your comments for The Jot Flip stylus/pen combo gets the pen right here

From Adonit Website: Once Jot is in your grip, the quality is unmistakable. The durable steel gives Jot Flip superior conductivity and craftsmanship comparable to any luxury pen.

The Adonit website said that the Jot Flip is made of steel. But in your review, you said that it made of "Polished, silver-finish aluminum".

Could you please confirm this? If Jot Flip was not made of steel, I will just purchase Jot Pro instead. Thanks!

Nope, my mistake. I'll correct in the review.

I just saw a cheap pen/stylus advertising pen last night that had the nice, tapered capacitive tip on the back while using an excellent gel pen on the front. Couldn't have cost more than $10 considering the printed advertising on the barrel.

which stylus would be your #1 pick? I don't want a pen, just a stylus.
thanks!

Hiya! My top charts are here: http://www.macworld....e-styluses.html

For an overall stylus, I'd go with the Wacom Bamboo; if you just want to doodle or sketch, get the Cosmonaut.

When I purchase my jot, Adonit said the disc was very unlikely to break...and if it did, they would take care of it. I want to say upfront that my jot has been used less than 10 times, and most likely it has only been used 2-3 times. Guess what, the disc broke when a customer was signing their name. Contacted Adonit and they said the disc "had run its course" and it was time to purchase more. When I purchased the jot, Adonit claimed the disc couldn't be broken, and now...it's time to replace it. I assure you, had I known this would happen and then they wouldn't stand behind their product, I would never have purchased it. Take my advice, don't buy one. This company can't make up their mind about the durability of the product, and they sure don't stand behind it.

Without a screen protector, this will scratch your screen. The company acknowledged this several times, but take no responsibility for it other than to replace the "disk." Check the website forum, if you doubt me. I'd stay away...
