I'm used to writing with a smaller pen, so it was a bit of an adjustment at first, but the rubber grip is quite comfortable and the pen itself is light. The stylus tip is bright orange, so it's easy to distinguish between it and the pen.

I love the convenience of having one writing instrument that functions as a pen, pencil and stylus -- now I leave my regular stylus at home, and just clip the Sanford PhD to the case of my PDA.

All in all, I'm very happy with this purchase.

Nice multi pen but....Mar 01, 2003
By Mako Man
This is a nice multi pen. I keep it with my pda and it work s great. I hate having a bunch of pens in my bag so I bought two of these and they're all I need. A little hefty in the hand but it write with pen, pencil, or stylus with authority.
The only problem with the pen is the pocket clip. It broke off within the first week. But hey, who clips their pen to their pocket these days anyway!

Smooth operator? Don't think so...Nov 28, 2006
By C. Williams
When I first purchased the Papermate PhD Multi, I thought, "Wow!" What an awesome instrument. Felt great in the hand and I Iove the flow of the ink. Very smooth. Nice pencil and stylus as bonus!" However, because I liked the pen so much and used it every chance I got, within 3 weeks, the ink cartridge was empty. That's when my love of the pen began to falter.

I opened the pen, according to the package instructions, and removed the ink cartridge. However, it never worked the same again. The twist and click feature failed to hold the pen in the advanced position, so whenever I would bear down to write, it would retract and push up into the pen again.

So, I bought another, thinking I must have done something wrong. Carefully, after the ink ran out in 2 weeks this time (guess I did more writing), I changed the cartridge again. Same thing. At a high price tag ($8-9) for a plastic pen, I bought a third and gave it one more try. Same luck.

So, while I loved the feel and flow of the pen, it is certainly not worth the price tag for a pen whose mechanisms, housing and construction will only last a month.

Won't buy another one. Three times and you're out.

Just what I needed!Jun 26, 2006
By LoraB "Experienced On-Line Shopper"
Great multi pen. No need to carry a bunch of pens, pencils, styluses.. All in one unit.

The best part for me is the thickness. My stylus was so thin is gave me cramps. I can use this with no pain.

Highly recommended!

Please note, this stylus does NOT work with iPadNov 18, 2010
By Wang
I was looking for a thin tip stylus for ipad and I bought this.
Apparently it was my own fault that I should have checked when this product is designed: far before the iPad/iPhone were invented. So not surprisingly, this thing does not work with iPad.
