Tis me again, with another potentially derp question. Anyway, I have now taken full ownership of a new (And somewhat unique) Xperia Z1. I have the majority of accessories I can see myself needing, except for one.

Which stylus would the forum recommend? Preferably under R 200 if at all possible. Just looking for something to write with in general as my hands sweat easily and thus would both muck up the screen and reduce the effectiveness due to loss of smooth motion. Not to mention I don't want to scratch the screen on the off chance that something hard gets stuck in the folds of my thumb :(

I was looking at the following for various reasons but am somewhat stuck on actually making a decision. Any other recommendations are also welcome, as the whole idea here is getting a good quality pen.

Many thanks to any who can assist.
 
Have you considered a griffin?

It costs about R200, depends where you look. I got one from the I store for R200. I presume if you have time to shop around, you could find it cheaper.

It dose not have a pen built in. It is just a stylist, but I used it for a while and can not find a better one for that price range.
 
I am looking as well but can find the difference between a R1 one on BoB or a R250 at IC. Can someone help me with this please
 
You should have gone to MyBB2013 - they were giving them away.

TBH it was my kids who figured out they were more than just ugly pens. :o

Hmmm I would have gone, but don't think I was aware thereof yet, nor was I a member :D. So how dumb do I feel now haha.

R20 china shop.

There lies a problem, I got a cheapo stylus included with a case when I imported, and it literally stopped being recognized by either my phones after about 2 days. That's why I'd rather have a decent one I know would most likely hold up for a year or longer.

Honestly can't say I know a single thing about the brands of stylii (styluses? bah humbug) so I've basically just checked the online shops. Will keep an eye out for griffins in future though.


EDIT: Saw this on Kalahari

Seems to get good reviews elsewhere online, thoughts?
