I'm not real big on it, but I know a few of you are still stylus addicts. So I thought I would share.

Just ordered mine. I'll post something about it once I get it assuming no one else has.

I was about to purchase it but I noticed that it's for the i900 so it doesn't have the hole for the speaker.

Woopty doo, make a hole for it, lol, don't be picky!

I don't know about you, but anything that takes money from my pocket, deserves my scrutiny. I personally don't buy things knowing I will have to modify it to make it work for me.

Now, if it were free, then I would agree, don't be picky. However, its not.

I like the idea of this, but the added bulk really disappoints me. There are times when a stylus is great. For instance, I don't use a stylus for the UI, at all. However, try using Office Mobile without one, and get back to me when you have ripped half of your hair out

So i must ask a stupid question, aside from the microphone hole, would this case fit an i910?

I got mine yesterday. Not bad shipping time.

It fits very well and looks pretty good. It also feels good in the hand not adding to much bulk. The biggest addition is to the bottom of the phone since that is where the stylus holder is but it only adds another 1/4 inch to the length of the phone.

The stylus is telescopic and smaller in circumference then I expected but it feels alright in the hand. It is now also conveniently located.

The buttons on the left side of the phone are now covered by part of the case but they are easily accessible by the buttons built in to the side of the case. You can still feel them click as without the case.

The charge/sync port has a cutout which leaves perfect access and there is a cutout for the leash loop also.

The case does not cover the top of the phone leaving the power button and reset hole easily accessible.

On the back there is a cutout for the camera and flash. There is no cutout for the speaker. I do not notice a big difference with this though. I can still easily hear my phone ring, music play or the arrival of emails. I wasn't sure how this would be affected and planned to cut the hole in myself but I no longer think this is going to be necessary.

The phone and case still slip into my belt case (I purchased the holster from Verizon) so I will be able to continue carrying my phone as I am used to which will be nice. it is a bit tighter but this just means the phone won't come out if I drop everything on the ground.
