Pen-Transforming Styluses

The MORE/REAL Stylus Cap is Super Practical

— February 15, 2011 — Tech
With the growing popularity of touchscreen technology, I can easily see the MORE/REAL Stylus Cap becoming just as popular. A convenient tool, it transforms a Sharpie, Bic or Pilot Fineliner writing tools into instant styluses.

Designed by Don Lehman, the MORE/REAL Stylus Cap is currently seeking $15,000 in donations on Kickstarter in order to see production. Considering that users can benefit from having both an actual writing tool on hand as well as a stylus, I think that this product is super practical.
Trend Themes
1. Touchscreen-stylus Hybrids - The MORE/REAL Stylus Cap taps into the demand for multifunctional tools that serve dual purposes in our tech-driven world.
2. Diy-compatible Accessories - The MORE/REAL Stylus Cap is a gateway to a new market for accessories that enhance and complement existing everyday items.
3. Ergonomic Mobile Writing Gadgets - The MORE/REAL Stylus Cap is indicative of an emerging market for more adaptable and comfortable writing solutions for mobile devices.
Industry Implications
1. Office Supplies - The MORE/REAL Stylus Cap creates a new line of products that intersect between writing implements and tech accessories in the office supplies market.
2. Consumer Tech - The MORE/REAL Stylus Cap opens up opportunities for existing tech companies to create complementary accessories for mobile devices, as well as for new entrants to enter the space with innovative offerings.
3. Stationery - The MORE/REAL Stylus Cap can expand the range of offerings in the stationery industry by developing products that can serve different functions while still looking like traditional writing tools.
