iPad Stylus - Hammerhead Retractable Stylus

My next few posts are going to be about 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.

Company
Hammerhead

Product Size Specifications
2 7/8" in length, extends to 4.25"

Initial Thoughts
The retractable stylus has a tiny width and length for primary age students to use. It is good for adults who need a small stylus for small screen devices. Overall length was too small for my hands. Stylus tip has a flat edge that needs to stay flat on screen for it to work, which made it cumbersome to use.
