Noris digital jumbo

My Marker Pen Plus broke around the nibble collar due to poor design. I was not going to spend £120 for an expensive, overpriced piece of cr#p! Tried a number of EMR pens which did not work. This marker is lovely, nice and wide grip, and writes with a fine line. Eraser works like a charm too. No magnet, so you'll need the right case. Bargain at less than 1/3 price and excellent value product! Hopefully it will hold up well!

This Staedtler Norris Jumbo pencil is a fantastic stylus for the Remarkable 2. The pencil looks like a jumbo HB pencil in it's design which is not only quirky but super stylish! Writing and drawing with this pencil is a pleasure, paper like texture and feel, smooth and crisp lines. The writing angle is also superb - i had a different brand of pencil which did not work with my angle of writing, however this Norris pencil works just fine with my steep angle. The built in eraser function also works very well - just flip the pencil and use the built in eraser tool to 'rub out' any mistakes you have made. Pencil shading is excellent, again, very good angle for light pressure work. The weight feels a tad light, but it is great too hold and the triangular design provides a comfortable grip. If you have a Remarkable 2 then i can not recommend this product enough - order one you honestly will not regret it!

The classic traditional pencil design and look of this EMR stylus is what sets it off from others. It's a little thicker than many other pen stylus but feels extremely comfortable and natural in the hand. It does appear to be made of wood and weighs about 10g. On the tip you have a standard EMR nib which writes extremely smoothly on my Onyx Book Note Air 2 e-paper screen, it's like using a soft pencil! You also get 5 spare nibs and a removal tool in the pack, but after nearly 2 years of regular use I am still using the original nib. On the opposite end of the pencil is medium firm rubber feeling digital eraser. This works brilliantly with my Onyx tablet, you simply flip the pencil in your hand to erase from the page - no buttons needed. The pencil does not require any batteries or charging. The triangular design of the body helps it from rolling off smooth surfaces. Staedtler also do a thinner, more standard pencil sized stylus but that one does not have the digital eraser feature. Overall this is definitely my favourite stylus for writing, and I have a few! The jumbo feels natural and comfortable in the hand and the digital eraser is a time saver (instead of having to keep selecting the erase feature on the tablet). It also feels just like a natural pencil eraser when rubbing on the screen. Important: Make sure you check compatability before buying an EMR stylus. This will NOT work on an iPad, your tablet must use EMR type styli.

The is a great product, provided you can kep hold of the eraser section at the end. This works really well on my Onyx Booknote, and it's a huge advantage having an eraser at the end that works without having to change settings as you work (just turn around and erase anything you just wrote onscreen.) However, the glue that holds the eraser section on isn't good. I replaced my previous one of these because I lost the eraser, and now, a week or so after taking deliver of this replacement, the eraser section has come loose again, so it looks like that's a design or manufacturing flaw. Hopefully the No More Nails I used will keep it in place, because £40+ is a lot of money to replace an eraser!

After struggling to find replacement nibs for the Samsung Tab S6 Lite (wanting original Samsung nibs) I thought it would be better to purchase a replacement stylus that I could get original nibs for. After much deliberation, I thought I would try this stylus. The deciding factor over the cheaper sibling was the material (I didn't want the wood one because I'm so clumsy) and this one comes with the eraser function that is lacking in the cheaper version. So, let's start with the material, It feels sturdy enough and light-weight with a soft, almost rubberized texture over a plastic, wood effect. The eraser also has a rubberish feel to it giving it just the right amount of friction when using the eraser on the screen without a screen protector (this may feel different on a plastic screen protector) The nib appears to be harder than the S6 lite stylus nib. I like this and it travels smoothly on the screen. My daughter, who uses her S6 Lite for art feels that it is slightly too hard for her liking. Performance. From experience this will vary greatly depending on the app you use and the tablet you are using this on. On the S6 lite I predominantly use it on an app called Inkredible and it works without any issue at all. I've used it on samsung notes and MS one note, both without any issue albeit MS one note stated to slow down on a page full of notes. On a side note (no pun intended) this stylus fits nicely in my glasses case and therfore goes everywhere with me. It came with 5 spare nibs and I purchased a further 5 replacement nibs at the time of purchase. If you are looking for a replacement S pen stylus, this is well worth it. The only issue, which affects all s-pens is that some apps don't use the eraser function.

I took a long time deciding whether or not to buy a Remarkable 2. One of the things putting me off was the cost of the "official" pencil, which seemed excessively expensive, especially considering the device is useless without one. After a lot of research, I discovered a large number of other unofficial pencils would do the job. Further research highlighted the Noris Digital Jumbo as being something of a fan favourite. I took the plunge on the Remarkable 2 and at the same time ordered the Noris. I've nothing to compare it with, but I can say it's an absolute delight to use. It's a little chunkier than a lot I have seen, but I find it easier to hold being the size it is. It's a little light, but for me, it has just the right weight in the hand when writing. I also love the "quirky" styling - I get lots of positive comments about it when I'm using it when out and about. Add to that the eraser functionality - just flip the pencil over and use the fake "eraser" - and I can really recommend this product. Looks good, works exceedingly well, is fun and tremendous value, especially compared to the official products.

I had used the ReMarkable2 for a couple of years, with the standard stylus, and was generally happy with it. Then the stylus, which attaches magnetically, got lost in transit somewhere. I went to order a new stylus from ReMarkable and was shocked by the price (£119), especially when they then added £19 "for delivery in 2-7 days". After much searching on Amazon and looking at various cheap styluses with mixed reviews, and none of them were magnetic like the original stylus, I almost gave up and almost bought the "real" stylus. Just before I did, I started looking at covers too, they were also expensive. So I looked on Amazon, and I found this cover. As it happens, it had a comprehensive recent review by someone called "Curious George" of this OLAIKE "Compatible with Remarkable 2" cover where the review said amongst other things that "The Jumbo Noris Pencil slips in and out easily after a bit of use.". I had been considering the Jumbo Noris stylus but it was more expensive than most of the other styluses, and I was unsure whether the Staedtler brand really had any relevance to styluses. But all in, the OLAIKE case and Jumbo Noris pencil were going to cost £76 including next day delivery from Amazon. So I thought it was worth the risk. Thank you to whoever Curious George is for that review. I have to say the combination is brilliant. The STAEDTLER Noris Jumbo pencil is better than the original ReMarkable stylus, it writes really nicely, has a nice feel to it, and the eraser works well. All for £40. It fits the pen holder of the OLAIKE case perfectly. And the case holds the ReMarkable really well and feels like a really good quality cover. The two together have reinvigorated my usage of the ReMarkable - whereas ReMarkable's own price for either a stylus or cover almost consigned the device to the shelves along with old iPads etc. I highly recommend the combination.

I've now had this pen for over 3 months. Good: The size of the pen fits into the palm of your hand well, and as a writing stylus for your RM2 it feels solid, crisp and smooth with better nibs then those that come with the RM2's pen -- I subbed out the RM2 Pen Nib for a Staedtler one as that nib wore out in 10 days. The Staedtler nib has held solid on both pens and I have not had a problem with my RM2 original pen's nib since. The 'rubber'/ erasing instrument a top the pen comes in handy, works well and feels like you're really rubbing something out. Not so Good: As it is slightly larger then normal you cannot house it in similar locations to the RM2 pen -- e.g. in the folio or the standard pen pouches easily. Being non magnetic it does not stick to the RM2. Bad: The build quality is poor. The top of the pen (the black part) detached within 2 weeks. My 8 year old daughter managed to detach the red part by mistake within 2 months -- not difficult -- which resulted in me having to sellotape the top part of the pen. It continues to deteriorate with the pen coming apart as I removed it from it's case. Conclusion: Overall good writing instrument but poorly built. I doubt it will last me longer then another 3 - 6 months. So not ideal for a £40 pen.
