Cell Phone Shop Blog: Styluses for iPhone, iPod touch and Other Finger-touch Screens

The finger-touch capability of capacitive touchscreen smartphones like iPhone, Motorola DROID and BlackBerry Storm 2 is a fun and attractive feature. Still, it may cause inconvenience sometimes: You want to wear gloves in winter or make artificial nails but then the screen won’t be able to sense your fingertip; or your finger is too big that you often press the wrong place. Want to get rid of all these troubles? All you need is a finger-touch stylus specially designed to work with capacitive touchscreens.

Instead of having a pointed tip of a normal stylus (which we introduced before), a finger-touch stylus usually has a soft-touch tip to imitate the touch of a human finger. It precisely triggers the capacitive display of your device, increasing accuracy while minimizing the chance of typos and misfires. You can type, navigate, slide, sketch and play easily without leaving fingerprints or grease on the screen.

Below are two types of styluses available for capacitive touchscreen devices:

Stylus with Clips
This set is designed for Apple’s iPhone and iPod touch. The stylus comes with two handy travel clips: one is for the iPhone, iPhone 3G/3GS and the other is for iPod touch 2nd Gen/3rd Gen. You can snap the clip on your device for holding the stylus when not in use, keeping it close at hand. The stylus has an aluminum body and a soft-touch tip that will not leave a scratch on the screen.

Touch Stylus Pen
This Touch Stylus Pen has a plastic body and a soft-touch rubber tip to protect the touchscreen. For the best touch experience, hold the stylus at a certain angle so that the inclined surface of the tip fully touches the screen. There is also a pen clip for attaching to your shirt, notebook or other belongings. The stylus measures 10.5cm long and is very lightweight for carrying convenience.
