Overall I ordered 3 of these because 1-they were on sale and 2-I needed a slim pen that also had a stylus. Pen number 1 cartridge would retract within about 2 sentences of writing. Pen #2 the cartridge skipped while writing. Pen #3 I exchanged for a Cross cartridge and it seems to be working. It's worth it's value only if you get it at a very cheap price. What is your opinion of the quality of this item? Poor. I wold not recommend this pen.

I don't like fat pens and this slim pen is ideal. Seems to be good quality and not slippery in the hand. yes, it looks like a much more expensive pen. What is your opinion of the quality of this item? Don't plan on using the stylus feature since I don't have a smart phone or tablet.

Excellent for the sale price of $10.00 each. Yes. What is your opinion of the quality of this item? Excellent. I have very large hands, so texting and other smartphone tasks have always been a challenge. I used to carry a dedicated stylus and a pen next to each other, but that just meant I had a 50% chance of grabbing the wrong tool when I needed it. This pen / stylus combination cost about half of what a good stylus alone goes for. Add to that standard Cross pen refills and it's a great value for the money!
