Before buying accessories for your gadgets, go to National Bookstore first.

A little over 2 months ago I bought a stylus for digital sketching that lately I've been into
I bought it from a seller in Cebu, and according to the sites on the internet, it normally costs Php 800.00 but I was proud to have gotten it at Php 400.00 and with free shipping!

Anyway, my sisters and I were at National Bookstore one weekend because I need to get something for school when Achi handed this over to me:
"Isn't this the same with your stylus?"


 OMFG.I bought it and tested it out on my mom's ipad.  Let's compare, shall we?
Comparison of the two stylus after the jump! 


A. The Tip:
(Left) Pogo Sketch Stylus - foamy like thingy.
(Right) iLink Touch Pen  - soft rubber (not sure yet if sturdy but you can press the middle and there's air in it.

B. The size:
(Bottom) Pogo Sketch Stylus - a little bit longer with curves in the clip
(Top) iLink Touch Pen - slightly shorter with no nonsense clip


C. The Performance:
Pogo Sketch Stylus - (see my other digital sketches blogged here.)


iLink Touch Pen - I doodled this from second floor of a hospital lobby:



D. The most important part of all: The Price

Pogo Sketch Stylus - Php 400.00

iLink Touch Pen - Php 40.00!!! (The cheapskate in me wanted to return it. That's 360.00 din no? And that 360 can be in a form of a new lipstick, eye brow powder or another cheap yoga mat!)

Lesson Learned: Before buying accessories for your gadgets, check National Bookstore first.
