It's a shaker pencil! :D It's fun and squishy like the Apha gel, but the grip is semi-translucent!

US stores sells these. Unless you want them with the white barrels, which looks so much more nicer in my opinion. Jetpens had the white barrel in the pen version and I have 2. LOVE them!

Betty, What U.S. stores?? None of my U.S stores sell the pencil version!!

Argh! I missed it... :(

Can someone verify for me if these are erasers? If they're not erasers and are correction tape, please cancel my request.

I think they're easers...they're neat looking.

American stores only sell the pens, I haven't seen any in pencil form yet...(Dr. Grip Spectra) I too like the white, but will take clear if no other choice

Us stores have the silver top ones and is called "Dr. Grip Center of Gravity". You can find them in Staples, OfficeDepot, etc...

I think the white barrel tops look nicer (these are only available in Asia & the picture of what Dudley posted).

Spectra? I thought it's called "Center of Gravity. I've seen both pen and pencil form from since last year. (http://www.pilotpen.us/detail.asp?PenID=75), but US only have 0.7mm *boo*

It is called "Center of Gravity" in US, but the Officemax I go to doesn't carry them anymore :(
