Increase Efficiency and Accuracy with a Stylus

Posted on Aug 31st 2012

While tablets provide nearly limitless opportunities for creative and business applications like drawing, sketching and handwriting, the challenge becomes overcoming the limits of your index finger. While many remember the stylus as the clip-in accessory of old Palm Pilots and digital organizers, they are making a big comeback in a world teeming with touchscreens. These little rubber-tipped pens increase visibility and allow for greater accuracy when handwriting or drawing your next masterpiece on your tablet or smartphone.

Benefits of a stylus include:

• See more of the web once you’re able to get your hand out of the way
• The rubber tip on the stylus is smaller than your finger, giving you the ability to draw and write more accurately
• Customers can quickly and accurately sign for purchases using mobile payment applications
• For those in cold climates, a stylus means you won’t have to remove your gloves every time you check your e-mail or make a call

CAFL has a selection of universal styli; find the one that’s best for you:

For efficiency:

Naztech 2-in-1 Universal Stylus Pen

A classy, black stylus with a rounded bottom serves as both a stylus and a pen. The rounded bottom serves as a smooth surface for phone or tablet screens, but just flip it around and you have a capped ballpoint pen.

White Universal 2-in-1 Stylus Pen

Another version of the 2-in-1 stylus is a retractable ballpoint pen. Its soft touch ensures it’ll easily glide across your screen. Equipped with a pocket clip, this stylus is great for those on the go.

For the artist in you:

Just Mobile Universal AluPen Stylus

This chunky, pencil-shaped tool doesn’t look like your average stylus. Use it when you’re doodling to clear your mind in between meetings, flipping between photos of your latest vacation or turning the pages of a great ebook.

For a simple, professional stylus:

Chrome Universal Styli or Black Universal Stylus

Both versions feature a pocket clip and a soft, rounded tip. These styli are great for making precise movements on your phone or tablet, such as quickly shuffling around windows, writing out formulas that aren’t so easy to do with a keyboard or sketching out your vision for the set-up of your new office space. The chrome version also comes in a pack of three.
