Summary: Not so bad once you figure out the trick to using this pen
Review: Another reviewer indicated that you have to hold this
pen horizonatally to get reliable device changes. This
seems to be the case. My stylus/pen did not have any
mark on the end that you click so I put one on with
a permanent marker. I found that as long as this mark
is "up" with the pen horizontal, I get reliable pen
changes. Perhaps this stylus/pen relies on gravity to
work. While quirky, this is not an issue once you
figure out the trick. I've not had this long enough
for the paint to peel yet. I got this on sale for
$3.99 and I'm happy so far at that price.

Summary: Paint peals off, low ink quality, merely adequate
Review: Cons:
- The black paint where you hold the pen peels off, you are leaft with an unsightly yellowish copper color.
- Black and red ink are bad quality and fade in an out. Red in my pen is actually intermittement.
- The cap at he top is too tall and sticks out noticably.

Pros:
- Better than the skinny stylus.

Bottom line. I wouldn't buy it again.

Summary: Worst universal stylus
Review: I have misplaced my 3-in-1 Stealth from Platinum pen company and started using the iConcepts pen that I have got as a present. It was a nightmare. Black inc was not working right out of the box (I had to replace it), the pencil broke in about 5 days and the stylus part was sticking out of its place every second time, so I have to disassemble the pen to stick it in. In about 10 days of use the black and silver pain that covered the pen started peeling out making it looking awkward. I have struggled a month with it and just yesterday found my misplaced Stealth. What a difference! The iConcepts went to garbage same day. If you like multi-functional pens, avoid this one, use Stealth instead.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It's Great
Review: I have one pen in my pocket. It's black, it's red, it's a pencel, it's a stylus, it's great. Especially love the stylus I have trouble holding the small stylus, but this is just like a normal writing utensil.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Bad Buy
Review: I thought I would use this pen as a replacement for my Belkin 4 in 1, Bad Bad idea. The black started peeling off within a week of having this stupid pen. Black and Red ink is no good (fade away). Stay away from this pen.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Only for smart people
Review: I've been using this pen for a half-year. It's unlike other pens in that you have to hold the pen horizontally for it to correctly select the pencil, stylus or red/black ink pen you wish to use. It also a comfortable pen to hold while working with the pocket pc....much better than the toothpick stylus that came with my pocket pc. I'm actually here online to purchase one for a friend.

Once you realize you have to be smarter than the pen, you'll enjoy this 4 in 1 Stylus.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: EASY SWITCHING MECHANISM ! ! ! ! !
Review: Please be sure to read the instructions. To switch between stylus, pencil, red or black ink, you must lay the pen horizontally. Push the button whyle the sign of the stylus is up - and woala - it works like a charm. When I first got it, I also tried the 'four - way push' method, but as it was not reliable I read the instructions !

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Difficult switching mechanism
Review: This stylus has a normal looking button at the top for extending/retracting the various tips. In order to switch between the PDA tip, the pen tip, and the pencil tip you must push this button at the top in 1 of 4 directions as you push it down. This is awkward and sometimes doesn't work correctly. I will sometimes get the pen when I expected the PDA tip, which could cause some serious screen damage.

Also, the button sometimes seems to get jammed up and you have to let go and try to push it down again. I ended up removing the pen and the pencil and now only use the pda pen.

Not worth the money in my opinion.
