I’d like to see same concept bluetooth headset (we’ll… I know it’s no longer headset if it’s not worn over the head) ;-)

Just make sure you remove the zip pen from your hand before eating. You could poke your eye out…or leave black lines all over your face. :-D

@Mark so true… that wouldn’t be funny and it wouldn’t be fun ;)

If you leave the snap-on cover attached, it’s also an excellent stylus for all you remaining Palm users.

Looks to be out of stock everywhere I looked and also only for right handed use.

It’s not in stock anymore and I love this pen. I lost mine and still have all the replacement ink for it. If anyone sees another would you please let me know?

I fell in love with this pen about 4 years ago, but I haven’t been able to find it in stock anywhere!

I have been using zip pens for a couple of years. As a data entry employee it is the best to use. I never misplace my pen. Although it’s true take it off when answering the phone your write all over your face. I am trying to find the refills. I order once through internet, but cannot find the site. Help.

Ok I can;t find the zip pen anywhere BUT I have found something similar called “One-Finger Ergonomic Pen” it’s basically the same thing just different company and look. I haven’t tried it myself but it looks promising for those who like the zip pen.
