Default Great stylus

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Targus+-...ylus&cp=1&lp=1

I bought this stylus yesterday from best buy and its great. No more fingerprints and now I have much better accuracy. I know its $20 for a stylus, but it sure is worth it!

This stylus was on sale there for $9.99 before. Can be had on the net for $9.99 for those interested.

And to confirm the OP it is a basic and nice stylus.

I made my own stylus out of an old Expo marker, conductive foam , and some wire. Total cost $0.00 :D

I picked up ten for $8.99 with free shipping. They are a little shorter than the Targus but I like them better.

Ya, Amazon sells those same ones in bundles of 10 to 20 for about a buck apiece. I opted for a bunch because lots of kids with touch screens and apparently the tips don't last forever -- at a buck apiece, disposable makes more sense.

I also remember trying to buy a $5 HDMI cable at best buy, and they had nothing for less than $40.... this is why they are going out of business... 2000% markup? no thanks.

Best Buy is over priced, but I am part of reward zone and every month or something I get a $40 certificate to use in store, so that's the only reason I bought it there

I did that too. I work with a lot of electronics so I had lots of conductive foam.
