## Description

You’re on the phone and you need to take down a telephone number, you look around desperately for a pen and there’s never one there, when you need it. With the TelePen there is always a full length pen attached to your keys for whenever you may need it.  The magic in the True Utility TelePen is that it sits on your key ring as small as your door key but with one quick pull it extends to write and work as a fully sized pen. Key ring pens are available in abundance but they make your writing unclear and scribbled as you have to make your hand fit around a pen smaller than it.  With the Telepen you will never have to look for a pen again, as one will always be attached to your keys. It also comes complete with 3 black refills, the perfect key ring accessory with pure function.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic product
*by A***E on 15 February 2011*

It's even better than what I had in mind when I decided to look for keyring pens. I'm the sort who likes to keep as many useful things at hand as possible, so this is really perfect for me. Still haven't figured out how to open it to put in the three free ink refills, but I don't need to right now - the one I have is doing its job just fine. The pen is quite secure in its place on the keyring, and I'm sure it's not going to fall out and get lost on its own accord. It comes with black ink, which is great, since I'm not big on blue ink. It can extend to twice its folded length - that is, 2" to 4". One of my key worries with the product was its durability. However, I've found that it's perfectly strong enough to withstand the stress it may encounter in everyday life. Folded, the thickness of its shell is great enough that bending it would be no easy task. Even when extended, it feels quite robust, being made from stainless steel, and it's probably under the protection of your hand in that case anyway.Overall, it's a great little thing to have on your keyring. Worth the money.You can lose it if you happen to accidentally drop it whilst it's detached, of course, but the product itself is fine.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good.
*by D***R on 1 August 2011*

I bought this item because i was fed up of looking around for a pen when i needed one most. its a brilliant idea and because its so small , it looks like a normal keyring. most people are impressed when they find out that its a pen. I would recommend this :) .

### ⭐ Not great because...
*by A***2 on 4 December 2015*

Original review - THIS IS LITERALLY THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER BOUGHT! Just buy it. So useful, fallen off a couple of times but almost all the time it's fine.Updated - reviewI used to think think this was quite good, and it was fine until I found a better version.So there seems to be a very good version of this that you can buy in shops, where it opens from the bottom rather from the top. I can't seem to find the better version online anywhere, but it is basically like the true utility stylus version, but without the stylus. I'm going to email true utility to see where I can get the other version.
