thanks

I haven't used the Innopocket one, but I can't imagine something being worse than the Brando version. Because of the way that the Brando is designed, it's about a hald inch shorter than the stylus when in pen mode, which made it hard to write a signature, let alone something substantial. And I was constantly worried the cap was going to come off but leave the rest of the stylus in my silo. I used it for a week before I switched back to a regular stylus again.

Here is my personal favorite: 2 in 1 Comfort Grip Shorty (http://www.styluscentral.com/2in1comgrips.html) from Stylus Central.  I'll never use anything else.  I love it!

Here's their writeup:

At only 4" long this will fit in most any PDA cases. This great little comfort grip pen has a twist mechanism to switch between Pen and Stylus points. This little pen will become your favorite!

I had a 3in1 stylus from Innopicket. It worked great. I did however once not get the cap on tight and it fell off with the pen still in the stylus hole. After considerable working I did get it out. I left it out and put the original one back in to my T665.

I've been using the Brando version for a while. Based on what I've seen and read here, I don't think it's any different from the Innopocket version (except for colors).

On mine, the stylus end periodically loosens itself, so I just tighten it again. I, too, worry about losing the pen cap. Would it have been so hard to make it friction-fit the stylus nib (which fell out of mine anyway but doesn't seem to have affected use of the thing). And the pen _is_ awfully thin and short. It's like writing with a toothpick, but I don't suppose that can be made any better given the space the Clie offers in the silo. Oh, well. It beats carrying around a pen all the time.
