We don’t personally use a stylus. We let our fingers do the walking instead, which seems to work out pretty well on most smart phones and tablets. For those who need to perform more detailed-oriented tasks on their smartphone such as, drawing, sketching, doodling, gaming, or complex math equations, there exists the rOtring 800+ Mechanical Pencil and Stylus Hybrid ($80). It sports a rugged metal body, a precision stylus for touchscreens, and a mechanical pencil with a fixed brass lead guidance sleeve for when the task requires nothing more than a pencil and paper.
