    Its okay. Still have to use fingers to slide the screen. Would have loved if everything could be done using the pencil.

    I love this pen. I wasn’t sure how well it would work for intricate details. But it works great.

    Found help after walking a bit, then was told to "go over there" to find the product. I was told it was hanging open. It wasn't, it was behind a locked glass panel. I had to walk some more to get a salesman to open the panel then hand me the pen. Hmmm, where's the service? I could have bought this online easier in some ways. I like Best Buy, but it is the only choice for this area and you are lucky you have no competitors.

    Love how it just sits on the iPad to charge, no worries about losing the top like on the earlier generation.

    Anyone who had the 1st Gen Pencil will enjoy the ease and function of the 2nd Gen Pencil. No more "cap" and easier charge than before

    Why no points?

    I wasn't aware that I wasn't going to receive any points for this purchase. Why don’t we get points on purchases of Apple products? I also wasn’t aware that I wouldn’t get points for the purchase of my new iPad, simply because I wasn’t getting charged through Best Buy, and was getting billed through AT&T. I still made the purchase at Best Buy, and should therefore still get credit(points).

    The only issue I have is the fact that the older pens are not compatible with the new iPads. I have two that are now sitting in their boxes.

    Great pencil, fits very good in my hand, especially with the flat side, feels natural. Only thing I wish is that it would come in black.

    I got this as it seemed it might be useful for taking notes but I find it more trouble than it’s worth. It works fine, palm rejection is decent, but the amount of use I think most people including myself would get out of it is minimal. If I didn’t forget to return it in time, I wouldn’t have it anymore.

    if you're not a artist or a designer then this is basically worthless but if you are either of those things then it's awesome
