Apple Pencil alternative - £10 with discount code
« on: July 04, 2020, 09:07:06 AM »
If you're looking for an alternative to the Apple Pencil, Vipon has a discount code for today, making the cost just £10.

The stylus pen compatible with:
iPad Air 3rd Gen
iPad Mini 5th Gen
iPad 2018 6th Gen
iPad 2019 7th Gen
iPad Pro 11 Inch
iPad Pro 12.9 Inch

I have two codes, that can only be used ONCE each, and only once per Amazon account:
2S5C-D7XPLG-JRNGBV
2SYX-QXZCFR-TY5ABT

Amazon link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B089SVB41Y
Once these codes are used, you'll have to sign up to vipon.com to get a new code.

I have a couple of these pens, both different brands, but otherwise identical, and they are seriously good. There's no pressure sensitivity, but there is palm rejection – if your hand accidentally touches the screen whilst using the pen, that touch is ignored.

Really, for £10, this is an absolute bargain. I wouldn't be without mine!

Your last link leads to a sign page which then returns a 404 error.

I've never been rich enough to buy anything Apple, but I guess these are a bargain. 

Oh, and linky no worky...

I don’t think it works with my iPad Pro (2016 I think). Shame as I would like one.

I would never buy or use Apple products but looked just to be nosey  :D
Why would you need one? What does it do? ( told you I was inquisitive )  :D
Triumph of hope over experience :D

The Amazon item you linked to says Unavailable...don't know if or when back in stock. But I really want one now! Others are £30+ and some reviews don't inspire confidence. At £10 it's worth a punt.

Try this...

Access denied.  Still, it's no use to me as an Android phone user.

That's odd. It's still very much in stock for me! I've just ordered on. Send me a PM with your details  :thumbsup:

Here's what I get - on every device, app and browser. Strange!

I think this must be because you're in Ireland @Vezelay - it's in stock for me here in Wales.
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

Could be @Acorn . I have a UK browser extension so will try using that.

Not winning - tried two uk browser extensions that work on everything else (including iPlayer - don't tell them). Maybe I'm not meant to buy this - don't need a new toy to distract me from sewing!

Our MacBooks are 5 years old, and still going strong, as fast as ever. I've never had a Windows laptop that was as reliable.

I had an iPhone, but hated it. Terrible camera, incapable of uploading to Google photos unless the screen was on, disappointing apps. Back to Android, and happy as Larry.

As for the pen, well, very useful for taking notes and drawing. I'm forever losing notes on paper, so to have an electronic copy is very handy.
