Smartphone Stylus

A stylus is a nice gadget to use on a smartphone. They can, however, get quite expensive for some of the fancier types. If you utilize aluminum foil, you can save a lot on a stylus. Simply take a piece of aluminum foil and wrap it around a normal pen or stick of some sort, and you’ve got a perfectly usable stylus.

It’s a little surprising, but the aluminum is able to register with the touch screen. Most of the styluses used for touch screens are made of rubber in order to mimic the properties of human skin. But something about aluminum seems to do the trick as well. It isn’t that surprising really, as this material seems to have almost unlimited uses.
