Sidenote: The Sharbo Gel refills are perfect fit for this pen if you desire a gel ink and great colors...

Super cute & convenient. I have attached this pen to my badge reel that I wear at work. Love having a pen handy whenever I need it. Writes well too.

This is a cute, useful little pen. The ink is consistent but the body really is purple as listed even though the photos on the site make it look a little blue-ish. My 2 year old thinks it is her pen so I may have to get another soon!

Amazing pen for a keyring. Best one I've ever used because it's so short and easy to carry, yet expands to a reasonable length. I immediately bought several in different colors because I wanted to be sure I'd always have one handy.

I did have the problem of the pen opening by accident and lost a couple that way. Finally solved the problem with an o-ring (from the local hardware store) that fits around the top of the pen just below the wide end part. The o-ring narrows the gap between the pen and cap so that it takes a little more effort to push them together to release the cap. It has worked perfectly ever since.

O-rings in basic black are a perfect match for the black penpod, but I've never seen o-rings in colors. So I use small rubber bands that match the colors of the caps, and with several twists around the pen, they make passable substitutions for o-rings. I found tiny, bright colored rubber bands in the hair accessories department of my local pharmacy that work quite well.

Very cheap, very compact as a keychain pen, looks quite good yet simple. My only complaint of these pen is its tendency to accidentally "eject" the pen. I have already lost 2 of these due to that. Hopefully they'd be able to add a screwcap feature just to be sure...

The pen itself is a great little pen - writes smoothly. The problem is that the latch isn't secure. I bought this for my husband as a stocking stuffer, and it really came in handy until one day he noticed that it was gone. It must have unlatched. We wondered if/when the pen would detach and get lost when a few weeks earlier he found it lying on our front porch. So, it was great while it lasted.

I am a student nurse and this little pen hangs perfectly on my lanyard. I am always in need of pen and this not only serves the purpose of availability, but it is a cool little conversation piece. It would be nice if the pod was offered in black ink. I had to buy the black refill....not a big deal. The push and twist release is also nice.

Great pen for your keychain. Im always in need of a pen, and usually never have one on hand. Since I always have my keys on me, having the pen on my keychain comes in handy. One of my favorite pens by far.

Great minimalist design, compact and so useful to write with since you can keep them anywhere. However, I can see what imon82's saying and I'm scared to lose it !

i love it!
its the perfect size to put on my keychain and now i always have a pen handy!

Had this pen for at least a year now. I'm not brutal with my keys as such, but the Penpod has held up without breaking off or cracking! Usually carry a pen in my bag, but when I forget, this little guy has spared me from having to use *gasp* public pens that every unwashed hand has already touched! ;) Just used it yesterday at the doctor's office and kinda wish I had more than one set of keys so I had a ready excuse to get it in other colors. Definitely too small for extended writing. Remember to pop the pen securely back in the spring-loaded cap.

I own 2 of the PenPods, and REALLY like them. One (orange) fits my keychain and is EDC that is used almost everyday.
The other one (black) is hanging on my EDC bag. Both pens are in perfect condition after months of daily carry - GREAT!
