The first thing I did when I got my new iPhone 5 was to get a decent set of screen protectors. It can be really awful to buy a shiny new iPhone 5 then scratch it on your keys in your pocket!

After reading through all of these comments, it sounds like the Pogo Sketch Pro has quite a few issues... I've tried several different styluses, and I would highly recommend the TruGlide from LYNKtec to anyone looking for an all-around awesome stylus! The TruGlide has a very cool and unique microfiber tip that really does just glide across the screen! It also seems to have a little spring underneath the tip, which completely eliminates the squishy-ness that seems to be a common problem in all of the rubber-tipped styluses out there. And since the tip isn't made of rubber, that means you don't have to worry about buying replacement tips in a couple of months (or weeks)! I love my TruGlide and really do recommend it to anyone looking for a nearly flawless stylus! It's awesome!

WARNING: This is absolutely the WORST stylus on the market! I am a designer and artist by trade, and was very excited to get this stylus based on reviews, but after using it for less than an hour the cheap, poorly designed nib tip started falling apart. Ten One Design should be ashamed of putting out such a sub par product. If I ever hear of a class action lawsuit against them for scamming people out of their hard earned money with this joke of a stylus, I'll definitely sign up.

Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone who wrote comments in here.. they're all very helpful; especially thank you susan for the awsome review.

Well.. I also have been reading all these comments and trying to decide whether get the tool or not.. and btw just to let you know that this blog is one of the first reviews that pop out when you google the product. The thing is; on the FAQ at tenonedesign.com (which is the offical page of the tool for the ones didn't know) they clearly indicate that SCREEN PROTECTORS are NOT SUPPORTED by the pro stylus... so I guess this can can end some discussions and make a huge difference to some people while purchasing it.

I've had my pogo pro for about 3 days and am really disappointed with it. I'm having all the problems listed in these replies, inaccurate, missed strokes and it's much worse than my no-name stylii from Amazon and my Boxwave one. I do use a screen protector so I'm off to try "breaking in" the tip and swapping it for the standard tip. This site has been so useful in discovering practical painting apps, I wish I'd thought to check it before buying my Pogo.

Valerie--I rest my pinkie and ring finger on the screen as a brace or mahlstick and not the heel of my hand. If you buy a box of those rubber finger tips used to turn pages, etc. (office supply about $3 for 12) it keeps your fingers from being interactive. They're a lot more comfortable than a glove with the fingers cut off and they last forever. You have the added advantage of being able to say "where are my fingers?" when you mislay them.

I've just found this thread and have been reading with interest. I always use a finger myself, and find it always far more responsive than a stylus. Also, nobody seems to have mentioned the problem that resting the heel of your hand on the screen causes the screen to slide about as it interprets this as a two finger gesture. Is there any kind of cure for this, other than wearing mittens?

PS I believe one of the tricks to learning to finger paint is never to succumb to the temptation to use an offset, as this can upset the accuracy training of whichever digit you use.

The "pro tip" does not work with screen protectors... I've been using the standard tip for this reason...

After using 10/0 and 20/0 brushes and sterling silver mechanical pencil, I have to say I feel odd using my finger for 90% of my work. I do use one on my writing apps (e.g. Noteshelf) and that feels natural. But as you say, we all use the tools as serves us best. I also don't like a screen protector. But i never paint outdioors. That must make a difference.

Good points Matthew…. I agree mostly with Steve, but interesting, I have friends who will attest to the fact that my finger does not register on the slab…. Perhaps a blood flow problem caused by an old neck injury. So painting that way is very hit or miss for me… I’m so glad that there are styli to use. Plus I like to get my hand way back, more like brush on canvas…

About the screen protector. I had NEVER used one, and no… no stylus ever hurt the screen…. but then I started painting plein air and the reflections were killing me, a fellow FP sent me off to get a matt one… made by splash, and there was no going back. Love the matt, love the less glare and most of all I love not having to stop and clean the screen so much. And there is a tactile thing I like. Definitely not using it to protect the glass. Fortunately there are no right or wrong ways, like every artist everywhere, favorite equipment, even if it’s fingers, become an integral part of making art.
