I'm not sure if this is the case, but I think this is just a knock off version of the a case stylus, which is much better. I used a friend's a case and thought this was the same one, and bought it on mistake. The ipad 2 stylus is much stickier on the iPad screen and doesn't write as well as the case (I bought the case after realizing this wasn't it). I'm keeping this as a back up. Seems durable.
