I got the Marware stylus for my iPad.  It is advertised for the Kindle, iPhone and iPad and is compatible with any capacitive touch screen device.  I also used it on an iPod Touch and it worked fine. The Marware comes in five colors (black, yellow, orange, purple, and fuchsia) in metallic finish.  I got the purple one.  It is a medium shade of purple with a silver chrome color tip, clip and band around the stylus head.  The rubber head is rounded and soft to the touch.  You can press the head in if you touch it. The side of the stylus has the Marware log and name on it in a light gray.The stylus is lightweight, similar to holding a #2 pencil.  It is about 5 3/8" long and the barrel is as thick as a pencil.My favorite part about this stylus - no more mars!  Invariably, from using your fingers on the screen, the iPad gets all smudged and you need to clean it.  The stylus helps to minimize this, as you can pretty much eliminate one-finger swipes from your repertoire.Some cheaper styluses I've used tend to work OK, but usually end up wearing quickly on the head or the clip breaks.  They also sometimes don't move smoothly across the screen and sometimes leave some faint smudging.After using the stylus for over a month, it is still in good conditioon, the tip is fine, and the clip is intact.  The Marware logo and print has worn completely off the barrel of the stylus, however that is just cosmetic and the metallic finish is fine. I would recommend the Marware as a nice stylus solution.
