"The (Architect) stylus is also very accurate and slides smoothly across the screen during fast note-taking or sketches. I was able to get some detailed sketches from the stylus, indicating it's superior accuracy (...) Used with the iPad, they are a great couple. Above all, the stylus provides accurate and smooth writing on all touchscreens, provided it's a capacitive one." Read More.

"All in all the Architect Stylus is perhaps the most 'Apple-looking' stylus to date. Its unibody aluminum design goes very well with the iPad, and the simplistic rounded look with nothing sticking out simply makes it look very Apple. (...) The rubber nib is very accurate, just as you would expect from a premium stylus like this."

My kids and I used one of the units with our iPad 2 briefly yesterday afternoon and really liked the feel.
It was easy to jot down a few notes using Evernote and my kids had fun using it for Drawing Pad.

"Wanted: A Chic Stylus For Drawing On iPads With Hyper Precision"

There are a bunch of models on the market, ranging in feel from a fat crayon to a ballpoint pen.
Maybe the slickest comes from Pedro Gomes, who designed the Architect out of a solid block of aircraft-grade aluminum.
(...)
The Architect could be mistaken for a classy pen, with an anodized matte finish. All in all, an instrument you might find
in the refined hand of Renzo Piano. The cap--which has a clever loop--protects a smooth 9.5-millimeter rubber tip.

We like covering "high end" styli here on NBT (...)
What separates these from the rest is that they're not the same awful generic designs that all the cheap brands sell,
and that is very noticeable when you use them. Well, it seems that a new stylus might be joining the stylus elite -
the Architect Stylus from Arctic Accessories.

"Architect Stylus. The Ladies Love It"

The capacitive stylus has turned out to be surprisingly useful for a lot of things,
but up until now it was never a flirting tool.
That's about to change with the Architect Stylus, a pen which appears to send horny,
espresso-sipping hotties into spasms of barely-concealed desire. (...)
The Architect Stylus is handsome, though.
It has a lanyard-able cap which unscrews to reveal a soft silicone tip.
These tips glide a lot better over glassy screens than the foam ones found on other styluses.

The day is coming when people are judged for their choice of stylus as much as they are for their favorite pen.
The Architect Stylus is sort of like the Mont Blanc of the stylus world, only it doesn't have the price tag and... your
grandfather probably isn't interested in owning one. The dual purpose cap protects the silicon tip and
can also be tethered to a lanyard so the user can take it anywhere. An anodized, aircraft grade aluminum surface has a
smooth, matte finish that gives it an appealing, tactile feel. Read More.
"Arctic's Aluminum Architect Stylus Makes All Others Jealous "

Up until now, I thought styluses couldn't possibly get more creative and unique.
That has changed with the Architect stylus though. The Architect stylus by Arctic is
a designers stylus designed to work with all capacitive touchscreen devices using a soft
7mm silicone rubber tip offering a smooth, silent and accurate writing and sketching experience.
The Architect was designed to have perfect balance in the hand using a rounded style body much like the
Adonit Jot stylus, and constructed using anodized aluminum with simple clean lines and a distinctive twisting
protective tip cap featuring a black lanyard loop hole. This is one good looking stylus if you ask me.
