    Decent product. Looks just like the Targus brand. Hopefully the tips hold up better than the Targus ones. The magnet doesn’t seem to be as strong as the Apple version. These easily gets knocked off the iPads.

    Works well. I use it mostly for my games. It makes it easier to play rather than using your fingers. The only thing is that the charge doesn’t last very long.

    I purchase this as an open box deal. Im not sure if it was the original buyer that cause the issue but the stylus would not draw consistently. Dragging the pencil across the screen, creates a dotted line instead of a single, connected pen stroke.

    Wish it charged magically when attached to the iPad, but then it wouldn't be so cheap! Just double tap the rounded end by the charger to turn it on.
