** Edit: after 8 month's of use **
So, I've used each of the four stylus that come with this purchase for about eight months.
While I still love this product and won't use my phone or vehicle touch screen without it, I have found an issue that's a little disappointing.
Each stylus has a snap-on cap that protects the tip not being used, and also holds the pocket clip on (both are assembled and held in place by the screw on cap). However, over time, the screw on cap becomes loose and looser, to the point that it's no longer secure. Once it can't be tightened anymore, both the cap and clip fall off more frequently, only to be lost between the driver's seat and the hellish console abyss that only a car wash vacuum can suck up!
I've got three with caps and clips that no longer screw on securely. While neither affects use, the cap keeps the unused tip protected from damage inside a pocket or wherever it's being carried.
A friend suggested placing a dab of clear nail polish before screwing the cap that secures the pocket clip back on... presumably nail polish is a good adhesive... who knew?
While I haven't acquired any clear nail polish...tbh, the selection alone is overwhelming. I mean really - will a $1.99 bottle of clear nail polish work, or is the $10.99 bottle a significantly better adhesive? It's not like nail polish is sold as an alternative to say, duct tape, or is it?
I'm not eager to run out and buy clear nail polish, but I'm also not gonna rule out the possibility.
Since this product isn't particularly cost prohibitive, I'll splurge and make another purchase, mainly because I'm about out of both size tips...I typically carry a stylus in my pants pocket, so understandably, material friction causes the exposed tip to degrade with holes or splits. Careful users might find a better place to carry or store them that eliminates this issue.
Alternatively, if you're having the same loose cap/clip issue, but don't have the resources to buy new stylus every 8-10 months, try applying a thin thread of Teflon plumber's tape to the loosened cap and clip and see if it provides a secure solution.
Another option that comes with inherent issues, would be to place a snap on top from one of the other stylus in the pack, so both ends are always covered, but then you've got to store one cap when you're using the stylus and it would inevitably become lost.
I still stand with my five-star rating of this product.
Nov 2020:
I used rubber tipped stylus for my cell phone and tablet for many years and was constantly buying new because they wear down quickly or the rubber splits apart or becomes gummed up with pocket lint and and screen nasties.
I was so happy when I finally discovered mesh fiber tip stylus and let me tell you, using these longer stylus has taken the experience to a new level.
I use these primarily for my newly acquired Samsung Galaxy S20 5G.
Samsung made this model with a gorilla glass screen and for that reason, I don't plan to apply a screen protector. In addition, the back cover I purchased has enough outer lip that should I drop the phone on concrete, it'll never land on the screen.
I read many reviews claiming this product didn't work on a phone or tablet. I suspect those user's have a type of screen protector that prevents a smooth glide or possibly needs replacing, idk.
I've found these stylus glide effortlessly across the screen on my Samsung S20. However, when I tried to use it on a friend's iPhone with an older screen protector, it simply wouldn't work. Another buddy with an iPhone 11 Max, void of a screen protector had no problems with this stylus, and was so thrilled with it that he has now bought some of his own.
The best attribute of a fiber mesh tip stylus vs rubber tipped, is the fiber mesh do not get gummy or drag, even on a dirty screen.
What sets this stylus apart from most I've used is the length. At 5½ inches it's a comfortable to hold as any pen or pencil.
One end has a small fiber tip; the other end has a larger tip, and like most ball point pens has a cover that snaps on securely to the end not being used. The snap on end also has a retention clip for a pocket, purse, murse, backpack to avoid loss or digging to find it. I've clipped it on the front of my pants pocket or shirt pocket and it holds securely, yet easily retrievable.
Another innovation with this set is the ability to remove a worn out tip with a new fiber tip that's included in the package. Each pack of four stylus includes four replacement tips in the small size and four of the larger size. In all honesty, I can't really detect much difference between the two sizes, which is even better because I've got eight new tips and every stylus comes with two tips already attached.
Each end of the stylus has a silver screw off cap that secures the fiber tip. To replace a tip, simply unscrew the silver cap, peel back the worn tip, replace with a new fiber tip, and screw the silver cap back on. In addition, I believe the seller also has a listing to purchase new fiber tips separately. I can't imagine the stylus will ever break, it's very solidly constructed.
These stylus are innovative, well designed, constructed to last, and comfortable to use. If you have been using rubber tipped stylus that eventually drag across the screen, become gummy, or the rubber cracks when you most need it, you'll love these from Bargains Depot.
If it's important to you, the packaging reads "Made in China".
Also, I am not compensated for this review, I just think it's a great product!
