Hi. The stylus is made of metal, and is the same size as an ink pen. It has a metal clip on the end so you can clip it onto your shirt, or whatever. It has a round soft tip at the end, so it won't scratch your tablet or phone screen. You hold it just like any other writing utensil. Hope this answers your questions.
Thanks....I meant it is hard metal like the Targus brand or is it soft aluminum like that bends. I got one that was bent when it arrived......(although the super listian person fixed the problem).....I want one that is hard metal with a soft tip like the brand Targus makes. Thanks.
