Review: 4 for an iPad, 2 for a Kindle Fire Usage

I have mixed emotions about this stylus, as part of me really likes it and the other part of me gets frustrated while typing out emails.To compare and contrast of using this on a Kindle Fire HD and an iPad 2: on the Fire, you really have to press down with it in order for the "tap" or "press" motion to register, but you don't have to use much pressure on an iPad 2.  On the Fire, you need to be at a 90 degree angle to the screen most of the time, but on an iPad you can be holding it at an angle as you would a pen or pencil without a problem.  If you have a 3M screen protector (iPad 2) the stylus glides across the screen, but if you have a Marware screen protector (the Fire), it can get stuck as you glide across the screen - that's really strange, as this stylus is also a Marware product.I DO like the little pen clip feature, which allows you to clip the stylus to your tablet's cover securely vs. losing it like I have with other versions that didn't have the clip.  Just be sure you clip it on the middle crease of the cover, or in some place that doesn't rest directly on your tablet's screen or you may have a scratched tablet down the road.Accordingly, if I were rating this just for  a Fire I would give it a 2 and for the iPad individually I would rate it a 4, hence the combined 3 rating.
