Stabilo 'S Move Easy - any reviews?

dzdncnfsd - 25 Mar 2009, 01:37 am
Has anyone here tried Stabilo's 'S move Easy or at least touched one in real life? If so, can you please jot down your impressions of it? :) It seems like they are geared more for kids/students, but they look cool!

Can't find any in the US, it seems. They look cool. I also like the look of the 'S Move Easy Nightfever line:

I cant say I have ever seen one of those, but they do look really neat. I would also love to have one of their Tropikana Baroque Pens, they are so neat looking:

Hi there. I have a Stabilo 's move easy, and while the design is very comfortable and cool, the actual pen is terrible. The black ink is more of a dark grey, ink flow cuts out frequently, line width varies chaotically (sometimes the pen dumps ink and other times it'll completely choke up). I had to import it from the UK to US, cost about $20, and I definitely regret the purchase.

Now that I have this pen, I agree w/ Physalis - it's very cool-looking and fun to hold and squish in my hands, but the performance isn't good. It came with blue ink, which isn't dark enough. Also, the refills only have one point size - a size too broad for me. Also, the ink seems rather feather-y.

Regardless, I'm still glad to have it in my collection. It's fun to play with, and a very unique design. I got the green pencil too ('S MOVE EASYERGO), mostly because the color (green) looked so awesome! Both these items are in wonderful shades of green. Might as well add them to my collection while these colors are being made. I hope pen/pencil companies keep making more great green shades! :)

UPDATE:
I've been using this pen more today, and now, I actually think it's one of my favorite pens! I must make a few corrections - I see that the refill also comes in a fine point (saw it at Cultpens). The ink does still seem a bit feathery, but it's not bad.

The pen is actually quite comfortable in my hand. The bulbous formation on the underside of the pen rests comfortably in the crook of my hand (webbing between the thumb and the index finger) while I'm writing. I've written the equivalent of one or two pages with this pen just now, and it seems comfortable enough to keep writing more. With most of the pens in my collection (even "ergonomic" ones), I usually can't write that long before feeling like I need to switch to a different pen, just for comfort's sake.

There are currently some cool color combo's for this pen on "that" auction site right. I am grabbing some of these cool colors while they're still available! :)

(P.S. - I'd say that my biggest reservation about this pen now is - I wish it were retractable!)

I entered the Nightfever competition via the flirtschool game.
Yes, I will lower myself to such an awful game for a pen.
but I like the Nightfever!
I also like Stabilo's Move easy pencil. I hate using regular mechanical pencils for exams(mostly because bubbling-in takes FOREVER), so it would be pretty awesome to have one of those. Before I was looking at one of the Lamy ABC pencils.
I don't like blue ink, though, so I'll probably replace the cartridge in it...if I ever get one.
I do like the Stabilo pens' designs, I've never tried any of them, though.

Right on! I hope you win a 'S MOVE NIGHTFEVER. I wanted to get one too (orange/green one), but decided against it, because the grip looks a lot different (and thinner) than the regular 'S MOVE EASY's grip.

I am kind of surprisingly delighted that such a great pen design (inclusive of visual/color design) is German instead of my usual-favorite - Japanese!

I also got one 'S MOVE EASYERGO pencil, and I like it a lot. I don't have a real need for it, but I like to just grab it sometimes and scribble something, just to use it. It's fun and comfortable. Even though I don't use this pencil a lot, I plan to get one in pink too, because the colors on it look so good.

Although the 'S MOVE EASY's written line is not my favorite, I like the overall pen so much (and got it in enough colors) to equip myself with one in blue, black, and red ink. That way, I won't get bored with the ink color too soon.

Another Stabilo pen I tried is the Bionic - but it was sold as a Japanese brand in a Japanese store (other than different text, it looks just like the Bionic). I wasn't too impressed with this pen. It does look nice, though.

I also tried one of their metallic gel pens, but I think the Pentel and Uniball metallic gel pens are better.

Although I think it looks kind of ugly (based on the online pictures), I'd like to try their CULT DYNAMIC (odd name) retractable gel pen, just to see if it's worthy! :)

Again, I will outwardly *sigh* here and mention that I hope more of these great Euro/Japanese pens will be easily available in the US soon!
