Quirky Upwrite Universal Stylus and Stand (PUPW1-UN01)

I know others have issues with this unit but I love it. I think the design is inspired and I use it everyday. I have even purchased extras in case I misplace my first (which is not uncommon for me!) The top cover (little black piece inside top ring) did fall out which was disappointing but did not affect the performance of the unit and yes, where I place the unit on my phone frequently, does now have a bit of a mark (like a divot) on the edge of the phone but this in no way affects the performance of the unit or my phone. Unlike other stands I have tried this unit easily stores in my pocket and travels with me everywhere. My phone is not just a phone but my portable workstation so this Stand has been invaluable to me.

The Quirky website says, "It might just be us, but bottle-opener key chains seem way too 20th century. Ask more from your key chain with Upwrite, a stylish metal key-wrangler that serves as both a conductive stylus and a kickstand for your smartphone. Its clam shuts tight to keep your keys in place, and can double as a kickstand when open, holding your smartphone securely in landscape mode for viewing on the go. However, when pin-point precision is what you need, Upwrite's body can also be used as a stylus, adding yet another function with no change in form factor. If we didn't know better, we'd almost say it was trying too hard."Upwrite is a stylish shiny $20 plastic gizmo that works well as a stand. However, the touted "conductive stylus" simply doesn't work as such on my iPhone 5 with a Zagg invisibleSHIELD® screen protector.

Did not work for me

Freaking thing didn’t work on iPhone 7

Very convenient and right size of stylus had to glue very top back on screwed it up to tight but very awesome

Works perfectly on samsung galaxy s8 as stylus. Iphone didn't had that smooth experience like galaxy. But for the price its a good deal. I mainly bought it to use as a stand for long flights and it has worked great till now.

It's a cool little gadget. However, because it is so short, I get some hand fatigue after a short period of using in. I still like the stand feature of the unit. I gave them out as gifts this past Christmas.

It lasted about 2 weeks in my pocket. Unless you can keep this someplace with no wear, I would not recommend it. It is designed to attach to a key chain, which would be perfect except it doesnt hold up.
