I really, really want to switch from my Visor to the Clie NX-60; I am in love with it. There are some things I do not like about the NX-60 but it is such an outstanding PDA I am willing to over look them. The only thing I cannot bring myself to overlook and sacrifice is the ridicules size of the stylus. It is like using a toothpick. I would like to somehow attach something to the back that would hold my current stylus (clips, metal holder, leather holder, rubber, glue something….). Maybe I could use part of a case that would hold my current stylus. I would need to be able to leave the case on at all times. Please share your ideas to help me solve my dilemma. Someone should invent something so all PDA users can use any stylus they want. Please help!!!!:(

In all honesty, i use one of the cheap bic pencils as a stylus. Since I always have one of those with me (engineering student), i can just use it for my nx-60. I just have to make sure that there is no lead sticking out of it. I find that it works much better than the built in stylus, and the bic pencils with the soft grips you can buy in pack of 5, so if you loss one, no big deal. Just put it in the same pocket as your PDA.

I think will have to do something to this effect. I think I might by one of those pens that are also a stylus. Thanks for the input

There are some cases that can store a stylus in them. The book style PDAIR from Brando has it.

I went from a Visor Prism to the NX70 and didn't have a problem adjusting, but I'm a woman, so maybe my hand is smaller?

Also, when I am at meetings, a lot of time I use a combo pen/stylus.

Here you go, it's Brando. I have ordered from them a few times with no issues.

Ok I thought I posted in this thread yesterday but I don't see it so I will throw it up there again. 3 ways I can think of to fix your problem:

mcgyver way: pick out your favorite stylus (size doesn't matter) and throw a bit of velcro around part of it. Then stick some more velcro to the side or back (or wherever) of the NX. Now you got a stylus holder that will hold any size stylus

case way: some cases have holders for extra styluses. I know the NX covertec case does (available at cliesource store) and some others probably do to

human way: stick your pointer finger in an electronic pencil sharpener until you are satisfied with the width of the point. wahlaah.... a stylus built into your hand. very convenient.
