While I thought my fingers would be too big to use with the iPhone text keys, and I do occasionally bring up the wrong letter, it works well +90% of the time.  I thought I could improve with the stylus.  The lightest touch with my finger works and works instantly.  The stylus was cumbersome, you have to push hard and long.  It made the process much more cumbersome and tiresome compared to using fingers and therefor was not worth the small increase in accuracy of typing.  The screen protector had a tab of paper glued to it to purportedly help you with placement.  However, when you pulled the tab of paper off, it left a big glob of glue that would not come off.  Bottom line, both the protective shield and the stylus are in the trash.
