stylus cheap and easy to lose

I love my Touch Pro but have 2 complaints about the stylus. It feels cheap and easy to break. It flexes very easily and wouldn't doubt if anyone have broken theirs already. I've lost one already. It fell out of the phone while removing the phone from it's holder.

That being said. Any recommended site for replacements?

Re: stylus cheap and easy to lose

i've already lost mine. the design to put it at the bottom is pretty stupid as it's more prone to falling out.

Re: stylus cheap and easy to lose

Not sure if the metal part of the stylus is pure metal or just a coating. If its solid metal, you can bend the stylus just a little. This will make it fit in the hole much more snug. I did this on my mogul per another user's suggestion.

Re: stylus cheap and easy to lose

Mine feels like solid metal. I use more for a toothpick than anything else. My fingernail does just as good of a job if not more convenient.

Re: stylus cheap and easy to lose

It has nothing to do with at the bottom, it won't fall out by its own, but the stupid design that has a small latch that you can gain traction to pull it out. Unfortunately that is also very easy to hook on the cheap case when you pull the phone out. I noticed this the first time I tried to take it out. Now I have to pay attention to take the phone out of that cheap case.
