# Magnetic Tablet Styluses The iPad 2 Maglus Stays Put on the Screen or Cover When Not in Use By Meghan Young | Published 2011-04-23 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ipad-2-maglus References: [ohgizmo](http://www.ohgizmo.com/2011/04/21/maglus-is-a-magnetic-stylus-for-your-ipad-2/) & [fundit.ie](http://www.fundit.ie/project/the-maglus--a-magnetic-stylus-for-ipad) If you have yourself the new [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adonit-neo-pro) tablet and are looking for the right accessories to help make the experience even better, I suggest you consider getting the iPad 2 Maglus. Of course, the first step would be to help fund it on FundIt.ie. Created by industrial designers Andy Shaw and Noel Joyce, the iPad 2 Maglus is a [magnetic stylus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-crayon-pro) that can conveniently stick to your tablet or [tablet cover](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moft-dynamic-folio) when not in use, so that you never lose it -- which, let's face it, is easy to do. Like other styluses, it has a conductive tip and penlike clip on the side. The iPad 2 Maglus also has a plastic cover so that it doesn't scratch the surface of the iPad. If you pledge 15 euros on FundIt.com, you’ll get one of the first iPad 2 Maglus units off the line when it finally reaches production. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Magnetic Stylus Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop magnetic stylus accessories for other tablet brands to prevent loss and improve user experience. - **Conductive Tip Styluses:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create styluses with conductive tips for improved touchscreen precision and responsiveness. - **Tablet Cover Stylus Holders:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design tablet covers with built-in stylus holders to enhance convenience and organization. ### Where This Applies - **Consumer Electronics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate magnetic styluses into the design of future tablet models to enhance user experience. - **Technology Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop and market innovative accessory products for tablets such as magnetic stylus holders and conductive tip replacements. - **Crowdfunding Platforms:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create specialized crowdfunding platforms focused on supporting and launching new technology accessory products like the iPad 2 Maglus. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Magnetic Low-Cost Tablet Styluses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adonit-neo-pro.md) - [Wireless Aluminum Tablet Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magfree-pro.md) - [Sleek Tablet-Transforming Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elago-magnetic-stand-for-ipad.md) - [Antimicrobial Tablet Styluses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antimicrobial-active-stylus-for-ipad.md) - [Angular Tablet Protector Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pitaka-magez-folio-2.md) - [Verstaile Tablet Docking Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maghub-3.md) - [Third-Party Tablet Styluses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/novaplus-a8-duo.md) - [Magnetic Tablet Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-folio-for-ipad.md) - [Adaptable Professional Tablet Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-tablet-stand.md)
