The AluPen is a stylus for your iPad. It's precision machined from a hunk of aluminum, and has a "chunky pencil-shape" which fits in your hand well. It works great, and has a solid feel to it because of the aluminum. The tip is tough to see when you're using it due to it's size, which can make precision work a little difficult, although we had no issues using it. See our previous article for a much more in-depth review of using the actual AluPen.
The newly boxed combination pack from Just Mobile gives you a leather sleeve for the AluPen, protecting the stylus from scratches, and the tip from dirt or grime.
Also in the box is the star of this newly packaged combo - the AluCube. AluCube is the perfect desk accessory for your AluPen - solid aluminum construction, clean lines and curved edges, and a perfect match to your Apple devices. The bottom of the AluCube has a ridge where you can run a cable under (your iPad charging cable fits perfect), which helps keep your desk a little less cluttered.
The AluPen fits easily inside the AluCube, and prefers to be rubber-tip up. You can do either way, but if you keep the aluminum side up it will lean sideways a bit (and still work fine).
The entire set can be purchased from the Just Mobile website for $39.95. Of course, we've also got a giveaway! Sketch something on your iPad real quick and Tweet it to us (@modmyi), and we'll pick a winner Saturday!
