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.

Initial Thoughts
The rooCase stylus is very similar in weight and size to the Griffin stylus. The nib style of the rooCase is also the same as the Griffin and I have similar concerns about the durability of the nib over the long haul of student use. THe rooCase stylus does not have the same textured grip as the Griffin, it is slightly slicker. One difference that the rooCase has is the addition of a lanyard that plugs the pen into the headphone jack of the device to hold onto the stylus when not in use.
