Samsung has held tight to the S Pen with its Galaxy Note series, but if you’re buying a phone, that little plastic stick is usually an afterthought. Now, Samsung is trying to change that by creating the fanciest stylus possible: a “digital writing” device from luxury company Montblanc. Montblanc’s Pix and e-StarWalker look like high-end pens, but under the cap, they’re designed for use with the Galaxy Note 4 or a tablet, with swappable nubs that mimic different pen nibs. Montblanc has also designed two leather cases, in case you’d rather avoid the Swarovski crystals Samsung has stuck on its other accessories. If you want to pass down a stylus to your children, this is probably the one.
