Thankful for Pogo Sketch Stylus and glad it's available here!

I use my iPad for mainly 2 things: as a sheet music browser (particularly for choral singing) using the ForScore app, and as a tablet to scribble on, a replacement for my various notebooks (my datebook, scratch paper for minutes, writing lyrics, even sketching) using such apps as Penultimate, Noteshelf and Adobe Ideas.  For this latter function (which has been life changing and a source of joy to me), a stylus has been a necessity.   I had purchased the Pogo Sketch Stylus in San Francisco (even before I bought my iPad!) upon recommendation by my good friend Denise who said it was the best stylus available and I could see why she thought it was: I've seen other styli and some or most of them (including one I regret purchasing for my dad because it was the cheapest I could find) have a tip that feels like a pencil eraser which doesn't glide on the iPad surface as smoothly as that of the Pogo, whose tip feels more like mesh or a piece of foam.   It's also very slim and lightweight...

...and so, although I haven't really used any other brand, I do think this is the best stylus brand. 

I had gone to the Apple store in Megamall a couple or so times and found other stylus brands for sale but none of them had this foam-like tip, and I was surprised at how expensive these styli were (they cost about PhP800 or more!)  I told myself I'd better take extra care not to lose my stylus.

And so I semi-freaked out when I couldn't find my one and only stylus a few days ago.  I've looked in the only 2 bags they could have possibly been in and couldn't find it. =(  Must have dropped it somewhere after ACS rehearsals. 

I rushed to Google and kept my fingers crossed as I typed in the words "pogo sketch stylus sale philippines"... these words did not yield results months ago when I wanted to buy for my dad but maybe, just maybe, this time I'd get lucky.  And I did!  Someone from Cebu sells them for just P400 a piece!  I ordered 3 pieces (2 for me, one for my dad), paid through my Paypal account and they arrived today via Air21 just 2 days after I ordered them.  I can now breathe a sigh of relief.  My iPad life goes on. ;-P  

So if any of you are iPad users and want a good stylus, I recommend the Pogo Sketch Stylus and if you'd like to purchase it for about half the price of styli sold in malls, click HERE.
