Case with stylus holder?

volsmcfalls · #1 (**permalink**) 01-23-2009, 01:14 PM

One of my biggest complaints with my omnia is the ridiculous looking lipstick / eye liner stylus that hangs off the side of the phone like the charms on a 14-year old girls phone. I hate this thing.

While the omnia IS very finger friendly I find that I still need a stylus from time to time. Is there a case out there that incorporates a stylus holder? I've seen pouches and holders that have them, but I already have a holder so I don't need one of those. I've also seen one that includes an extended life battery, but I don't want or need the battery and the case is SUPER thick, making the phone look horrendous.

Any suggestions?

I couldn't agree more about the stylus, and that was my first mission in accessory-hunting when I got my Omnia....here are some:

(I kinda like the horizontal one in that second link!!)

Thanks, but I've seen most of those like that. I already have a leather belt holder and am not really looking for another. I was hoping to find an actual case that would still allow me to use the belt holder I am currently using.

Got any suggestions for that?

Do you have a picture of the belt holder your using? Usually the cases and belt holders aren't interchangable, but you may have a different type than I am thinking about. (if you don't have a picture, maybe a link to a site that sells yours?)

no picture or anything. It's just the generic one they sold me at Verizon. It's just a belt holder / pouch thingy.

I opted to attach the stylus to the lanyard on my thumb drive. Now its stupid looks blend in with the equally stupid looks of the flash drive hanging off the lanyard.

Samsung has one (not sure if it would fit in the clip):

Out of stock right now, but I am sure it will be in stock soon!

Like Adrynalyne...I opted to hide my stylus by blending in as well...mine is on my keychain!!

Hi, my name is Wayne and I was a stylusaholic since my Dell Axim, i760 days. Thanks to the fine folks posting on this and other forums I have now modded and practiced until I have now been stylus free for a month. What I cannot do with a fat finger, I can do with either a fingernail or the optical mouse. With the mousetoggle programmed to a long press of the camera key, I find no more need for a stylus. I never thought I could kick the habit, but what a feeling of freedom it is!
