For one thing, it wouldn't. No, I really don't want to erase one of my credit cards. How about not keeping your keys AND your wallet in the same pocket? :) @FirstLast No, I haven’t put the PicoPen with my keys in a pocket with my wallet. For one thing, it wouldn’t.

If so have any gotten erased. Credit cards can be erased by magnets. Would you consider performing a PicoPen vs Credit Card safety test for us?

Definately a design fault in my opinion.

The magnet is inside the lip of the cap. It does cause the whole cap to be magnetized, but not strongly. @Jake Not really. The magnet is inside the lip of the cap.

So the PicoPen seems perfect as it's easier to use (for me). @Aybara Yes, I also like that the Inka can be converted into a regular sized pen, but I rarely do that… So the PicoPen seems perfect as it’s easier to use (for me).

With my luck something would cause the magnet to drop this pen off. Plus, I like the fact that the Inka can be converted into a more regular sized pen for longer use. I bought 4 of them for various places around the house and work based on your original review. ;) I still like the Inka pens screw on ends.
