# Two-Sided Styluses The Nendo Flip Pen Functions Lets You Scribble on Paper and on Your iPad By Amelia Roblin | Published 2014-01-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nendo-flip-pen References: [leibal](http://leibal.com/products/flip-pen/) & [nendo.jp](http://www.nendo.jp/) Modern man needs more than a trusty ballpoint pen on hand, and so we have the [Nendo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-knives) Flip Pen. This handy [writing utensil](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowtica-scribe) enables you to make records of your thoughts in text and illustrated media, whether you have a tablet or a sheet of paper available before you. This writing implement has two halves with one serving as a cap and an extended grip. The other section is a double-ended scrawler that features an inky end and a broader tip on the opposite side that's suitable for interacting with a [touchscreen interface](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-crayon-pro). The Nendo Flip Pen is a great deal slimmer than many of the styluses that are currently on the market so it feels as comfortable to hold as the standard pencil with which you learned to write. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Two-sided Styluses:** The Nendo Flip Pen combines traditional handwriting with digital touchscreen interaction. - **Integrated Writing Tools:** The Nendo Flip Pen demonstrates the potential for combining multiple writing functions into one versatile tool. - **Enhanced User Experience:** The slim design of the Nendo Flip Pen offers a more comfortable and natural writing experience for digital note-taking. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Stationery:** The Nendo Flip Pen introduces a new category of styluses that bridge the gap between traditional pen and digital writing tool. - **Technology:** Technology companies can innovate by exploring the integration of traditional and digital writing functionality, as exemplified by the Nendo Flip Pen. - **Education:** Educational institutions can benefit from the Nendo Flip Pen's ability to seamlessly switch between paper and digital note-taking, enhancing student learning experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Three-in-One Writing Utensils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tp-pen.md) - [Dual-Functioning Mechanical Pencils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-penpass.md) - [Slide-On Pen Tips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pentips.md) - [All-Metal 4-In-1 EDC Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flintone.md) - [Clipping Pen Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-clippen.md) - [Third-Party Tablet Styluses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/novaplus-a8-duo.md) - [Dental Instrument-Inspired Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handwriting-tool.md) - [Seamless Silicone Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twist-pen.md) - [Real-Time Digitizing Note-Taking Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digitizing-notetaking.md)
