ACCESSORY GUIDE<br />

IPAD 2 BUYERS’ GUIDE<br />

Styluses + Brushes<br />

Apple may have discounted the value of styluses, but there’s little question that they can improve<br />

the accuracy of handwritten notes, while also aiding drawing. One company has even developed a<br />

touchscreen-ready paintbrush that works with painting and other art applications.<br />

Wacom Bamboo Stylus<br />

Like many of the styluses<br />

we’ve recently seen, Bamboo<br />

Stylus is a metal tube with<br />

a rubber dome tip; the<br />

difference is that digital pen<br />

expert Wacom has picked a<br />

4.75” length, nice weight, and<br />

detachable shirt clip that are all akin to a high-quality pen,<br />

plus a Japanese-made combination of black and<br />

silver matte metals that look and feel pro-grade.<br />

Hard Candy Cases<br />

Candy Stylus<br />

Just a little longer than<br />

Bamboo Stylus when one cap<br />

is off, Candy Stylus combines<br />

chrome and matte silver<br />

metals to beautiful effect:<br />

it looks like a long shiny<br />

zeppelin, or a throwback to the Art Deco era. One<br />

side has a rubber dome stylus tip, the other a black<br />

ballpoint pen. It’s one of the coolest styluses ever.<br />

$30<br />

$35<br />

Just Mobile AluPen<br />

At the same length as Bamboo<br />

Stylus, the rubber-tipped<br />

AluPen has a chunky pencillike<br />

aluminum body to avoid<br />

rolling. It’s sold in six colors,<br />

including silver; each<br />

includes a leather<br />

carrying sleeve.<br />

$20<br />

NomadBrush<br />

Nomad Brush<br />

Walnut at the end, carbon in<br />

the center, and with a mix of<br />

natural and synthetic fibers in<br />

a bundle, Nomad Brush offers<br />

painters a natural 7.25”-long<br />

brush that feels light and<br />

comfortable in the hand. When used with most<br />

apps, the iPad registers only its center, but it glides<br />

across the screen as brushes do and fingers don’t.<br />

$24<br />

United SGP Kuel H10<br />

Initially shorter than the other<br />

options here, Kuel H10 comes<br />

in five colors, each with a<br />

special cap that attaches to<br />

the iPad’s headphone port<br />

and dangles there. A<br />

silver tube inside can<br />

lengthen it, too.<br />

$13<br />
