This as compared to several others I've tried
I've discovered I really enjoy Autodesk Sketchbook Pro on my Samsung Tab 3 and, as you can imagine, a good stylus is extremely useful if not necessary in this case. I've tried the following and will summarize my personal take on them below:1. Amazon Basics Stylus- The name says it all. Basic. It's built well enough and is satisfactory as a general use stylus but doesn't do much for me for Sketchbook or similar drawing apps. For $6-8 this stylus was probably a more practical choice two years ago before better ones became cheaper. I'd call this average at this point but also a good starting point to compare to others.2. amPen Hybrid Stylus- I really like this one. It's the newer direction manufacturers have gone lately which has a fabric wrapped over the rubber tip. This stylus is average size and length. Nearly identical to the Amazon Basics in this respect, same length and girth of the barrel. The tip is wonderful and again almost identical in size to the Amazon Basics one so I think we can say they are both the standard size these days. The fabric wrapped around the tip works very well and is definitely superior to the Amazon Basics. This is my favorite general use stylus by far. The tip seems sturdier and slightly smaller compared to a similar one offered by the Friendly Swede but I'll speak more on that later. This one works quite well for Sketchbook but the fatter tip is the only slight negative in that instance. At about $8, this is a no-brainer over the Amazon Basics version. Five stars for feel and superior tip. Not a bargain compared to Friendly Swede but is comparably priced to the Amazon version that it surpasses.3. The Friendly Swede 7.3" Micro Knit Hybrid Fiber Tip 3 pack- What sets this apart is it's length and price. The fiber tip is better than the Amazon Basics rubber only tip but seems slightly more flimsy than the amPen. Another slight disadvantage this has compared to the Amazon Basics and the amPen, is the metal it's made of is very slick. The Amazon Basics has a very subtle roughness that gives superior grip and the amPen is a bit odd as it has a coating that is smooth and provides a good grip at the same time. The length can overcome this somewhat but may possibly be too long for some users, myself included. BUT...A three pack of these with the fiber tip and the length considered for only about $8, when I bought them, makes this probably one of the best deals for a household that could use multiple styli. These are well built despite their bargain. The length is a put-off for me but some users may appreciate it and for drawing apps it falls short because, again, the length is too much in this instance and the shorter, superior tipped amPen wins out here. I'd still grant the five stars for the better tip, though slightly larger and weaker than the amPen, and the bargain is tough to ignore.4. The Friendly Swede 5.5" Thin Tip 3 pack- Very standard size except it is slightly longer than the Amazon Basics or amPen. The absolute best quality of this stylus is its length. The 5.5" is the perfect length in my opinion. I really appreciate the thinner tip for drawing apps but this one is pretty flimsy compared the the Bamboo Pocket Expandable stylus, which I'll talk about later. Despite the superior length and thinner tip, I still prefer the amPen for drawing and general use. This version suffers also from the same slick feel as its longer cousin. That being said, it's the perfect length and the thinner tip is nice for drawing but is quickly spoiled by the flimsy tip. It is also a bargain at three for $11 and comes with three replacement tips which slightly makes up for the somewhat flimsy tip. A well made, good stylus but just not quite great. Five stars for length, bargain, and thinner tip even if it is a tad wimpy in my opinion.5. Zebra Stylus Twist Pen- I'll make this quick. It has a great length, close to the 5.5" Friendly Swede, but it is a bit too skinny and the rubber end it very very wimpy. Think of a week old balloon you blew up for a birthday party and that's about how sturdy it is. The pen, which was a draw for me, is pretty gray and not even up to par with other Zebra pens I own. This product was nothing but a compromise. A mediocre pen with a mediocre stylus end. Three stars because it has good length and both functions. Still a BIG pass if your main goal is a stylus which was mine. Try not to buy this out of loyalty to Zebra pens. You'll be disappointed.6. Bamboo Expandable Pocket Stylus- My overall favorite. Has a thin tip and is sturdier than the Friendly Swede. For drawing, the tip plus the large grip works very well. It's expandable and, at its full length, is about as long as the Amazon Basics or amPen. It also has a cool attachment that plugs into the headphone port and nests to the tip of the stylus so it's easy to remove. Others offer this too but are permanently attached to the top end of the stylus and I like the way Bamboo does it better. It also gives some colored rings so you can personalize it somewhat. It's neat and thoughtful, but obviously does nothing for function. This is the best made stylus of the lot. Just had that indescribable feel of quality. Also comes with a replacement tip and, for a thin tip stylus, it has a nice heft to it. Compared to other rubber tipped styli, it's easily better made. I love this for compactness, strong and thin tip is great for drawing, and thicker grip helps this too despite being average length. Five stars for less than $9. I'll note that I still like the amPen the best for general tablet use and navigation but this one feels just right for drawing in my opinion.In summary, the Amazon Basics is solid but old news with better ones close to its price point. The Friendly Swede offers the best bargain and variety of length and is made well enough. Just skip the Zebra Twist Pen altogether. The amPen is pretty awesome. It has good grip, great tip, and is very capable for drawing. If you don't care about drawing, I'd probably recommend the amPen for those who use a stylus often. I personally only use a stylus for drawing so my personal favorite is the Bamboo Expandable Stylus for reasons mentioned above. It and the amPen cost around $8-9 and are the two highest quality offerings here.

Do not buy this.
Do not buy this. It doesn't work like a stylus. Fingers are as good as this "stylus". I am keeping it just because I am usually out of station and logistics would make it difficult for me to return it or for Amazon to collect it.

That this stylist works great and has a pen on the opposite end.
I really like this stylist it works great also a bonus is that the other end has an ink pen which comes in handy. It has a nice solid casing and the ink pen side has a nice cap. The stylist works great and rubber tip can be replaced if ever needs to be. Put in an ink refill if needed. Made of a good quality product. Was shipped quickly and price was good. Highly recommend this combo shyest slash ink pen.
