The velcro strip is a bit random. . .it's a cable tie and not really related to the fact of the stylii at all. . ..
I got the 3 pack Jeff linked to almost as soon as the Fire came. . . I think I paid $6.99. . .they work great, though a little short -- someone with large hands might find them uncomfortable and prefer a longer barrel.

I have the same Jeff has too. I needed them fast so I picked those on Prime shipping. Never having had any stylees  , I can't compare to anything. They work fantastic for me though. |

I dropped one of the cheap styli on the floor and the tip came out. A tiny drop of super glue and it is better than new. I can hardly complain at 33 cents a piece.  I ended up ordering 3 more sets of the cheapies. I have purchased android/ereaders for the grandkids and they will lose the styli in a heartbeat so I figure it isn't worth me buying the nicer, more expensive sets. I don't mind the wait for these. Now, had my Fire taken 3 weeks to deliver I would have had a fit.  I must confess.  I am the one who will lose the styli and need plenty around me. LOL |

I think those cheap ones might make some good backups to have around the house. Now that I have some to use already, these don't have to come in a hurry. If they go like pens go in the house, they will start playing hide and seek with me soon. |

I went back to Amazon and ordered 3 for 5.79 that will get here by Saturday. I wanted to give a couple as gifts. I'll need extras so not a waste of money in my opinion. |

Already lost 2  Gave one to a co-worker who has a Fire. Think I left the other one in my locker at work with my pens. Good thing I have more at home. Think I might just need to get a 3rd order. They might just make it here before I lose the last back up one. Don't need expensive ones, I will lose them faster then they will wear out. |

They are $0.85 today. For that price I don't care if they take a couple of months to get here |

If I could just get a ten pack of the purple... We have the three pack Jane posted, plus the four pack of pink & purple (2 each). Of them all, I like the purple best. (The pink is truly a shocking pink. It's a good choice if you need one you aren't going to lose in a purse, or one you'll spot from across the room.) Wait a minute! That three pack of styli that I received from Amazon do not work on the Fire or on idevices? What the heck are they good for then? I don't need a stylus for the Touch. What else is there? For the record, they work well on the Touch too, not just on the Fire or iDevices. |

What is the material on the bottom that actually touches the screen? I coouldn't tell from the pictures. I/m assuming it is some kind of soft plastic like those old tablet PC styluses.

I feels like an eraser, but not hard if that makes sense. It is rubber but very flexible. |

The tip is a hollow-rubbery type material. Not really sure if it is rubber or plastic. Some of the reviews say it sticks as you use it but I think they may have been pressing to hard. With a light touch it just glides over the screen.

I know these are for the fire (glass screen?) but will they work for the touch kindle screen as well? I don't want to scratch the screen..

I just received these today and I'm plenty happy with how they work. When I bought them they were $1.37 for the 3 pack. Now they are down to 91 cents! They take a couple weeks to arrive because they come from Hong Kong. Oh yeah, and the price INCLUDES shipping!   I'm going to order them. They look good. Thanks |

I ordered some for 85 cents. . I have the cosmos, but I like to have a few more around. Stuff always disappears around here like pens. I think my cat is hording them in a pile somewhere. |
