The Maglus stylus will stick to your iPad via the magic of magnetsGot an iPad 2? Got a cool stylus? It sucks that you keep losing it, right? That you can never find the chunky little pen when you want to write or draw something on the screen? If only there was a stylus with a magnet that could stick to the iPad or the iPad’s Smart Cover. If only…
It turns out that there is. Or, hopefully, will be. The Maglus (Magentic Stylus — get it?) comes from Applydea (Apply the Idea) and looks a lot like a rectangular version of the hexagonal AluPen. The Maglus has the usual conductive tip, a pen-like clip on the side and a magnet buried under its skin. This magnet is protected by a plastic cover, so you can stick it direct to the iPad without scratching, as well as to pretty much any part of the massively magnetic Smart Cover.
The Maglus will be made by industrial designers Andy Shaw and Noel Joyce, who are currently seeking funding on Fundit, which could be described as the Irish Kickstarter. They need €15,000 to get started, and if you pledge €15 (€22) then you’ll get one of the first units off the line. If you choose to wait and see, you’re looking at €25 ($36) when the pen actually ships.
Sure, you don’t need a stylus to use the iPad, but if you choose to use one, its nice that you can actually find it when you want it.
