Recently I purchased a few stylii for our iPad pilot at my school and have been paying close attention to their durability and overall usefulness in the classroom. One of my initial favorites the Just Mobile AluPen Stylus unfortunately already lost its nib. Thankfully the support at Just Mobile is taking it back to replace/repair the stylus. After my email to support the company sent me a video to try and replace the nib my self but I had no success. Just Mobile responded after that with a request for proof of purchase and then sent me a RMA number and off the stylus went to be fixed. I'll let you know what condition it is in when I get it back from them.
Below is my original post and thoughts on the Just Mobile AluPen Stylus.
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 stylus has a heavy, solid feel, of sturdy construction. The chunky styling is reminiscent of the thicker pencils young students use. It has a good length and grip for precise control. The stylus nib is thicker than most which makes it more difficult to write/draw thin lines. It feels very comfortable in your hands.
