This post is a continuation of my search for an iPad stylus that would be a good fit for elementary age students. My school is conducting an iPad pilot and we are researching different apps, accessories, and configurations that help us use and deploy the iPads effectively and efficiently. Over the next few posts I will be discussing the styluses I have looked at and tried. Most of the products I am reviewing are new to me and have not been tested over the long haul of the school year. Therefore I am just giving my initial thoughts and feelings on these products. In most cases these products were bought from Amazon and I have tried to provide links to each item.
Name
Griffin GC16040 Stylus
Company
Griffin Technology
Product Size Specifications
4 x 0.8 x 5.9 inches ; 0.4 ounces
Initial Thoughts
The Griffin stylus has a nice weight and texture to it. The length is slightly short for my adult hands but would be good for primary age students. The texture is nice because you don't feel it sliding in your hands as you use it. The stylus nib is a hollow rubber which flattens the harder you press on the screen. I do wonder how durable the nib is over the long haul and abuse of student use.
