#16 | | Guest | I lost mine within 2 weeks. <to get more technical> it must have got caught by the rim of my jean pocket when the unit was almost all the way out. In this case there's no way the stylus would stay in the pocket. Was thinking about getting one of those 3-in-1 as a replacement, but now I think there's a chance I might loose that as well. | |

 | when you put the ring from the lighter in, you should not screw the stylus tip too tightly. then it would fit quite nicely. but then again, the tip would be loose, and its quite annoying when you write with a loose tipped stylus. i am using a thicker stylus right now. so the darn original one is still snug and happy in its place .. lost 2 styli in 2 weeks .. damn. both got caught in something.

| so, conclusion. get an external stylus or add super glue (jeez) to make the ring stay in place.

| Heres an idea. I was thinking of a way to be able to have the stylus out off hand without having to worry about losing it, or without having to slide it back into its holder. I was thinking that maybe you could tie a string, or some cord to the little bar where you tie the TG50 hand strap and tie the cord to the stylus. It might look gay though, nhaha  But, whatever it takes not to lose the stylus right? They are expensive I assume? | |

| Oh and Scott, in another post, someone said the O-ring trick doesn't work with the TG50's stylus because the ring is too fat and wont let the stylus slide in all the way until it clicks. | |

| Well, the stylus packs are not TERRIBLY expensive, but at around 15 bucks for a pack of three, it could get pretty expensive for those who tend to loose a stylus every week or so. I actually lost one my first week, but something amazing happened last night and I actually FOUND it!!! it was in the bottom of my clothes hamper. hee hee hee That might be a good place for all of you other people to start your search.

| Well I don't have a TG50 but a T665 instead, and I have this very problem with the Stylus. Reading and seeing the magic of the O-Ring made me wonder if there could be an easer way, so I looked up to my wife's desk and saw transparent tape, and said to myself what if I could make the top of the stylus a little thicker, just enough to make it hold tight to my Clié on the way in and....to my surprise it worked great, and I can hardly see the tape on the Stylus. It may take a while to get the right amount of tape on the stylus to make the operation a success, but it's definitely another way out of this problem. Take a shot at it, it might work on the TG50 models. | |

I'm also using the "tape on the top" method on my Clie N760 as well and it works well for me...

| Well you could try fitting the top of the stylus with wrapping it round with a little cellaphone tape | |

| The tape on the top of the stylus with the TG50 works quite well, although it was surprising just how little tape it took to get a nice snug, but not too tight of a fit. I don't see any of those little suckers slipping out on me now.  | |

| Another source of the o-rings is from dart stores. It's quite common to put an o-ring on the tail portion before screwing it onto the body of the darts. They are conmmonly 3/$1.50. But I'm not sure how expensive lighters are. | |

| I just don't understand why you guys loose your stylus so easily...do you drop it when you pull it out? spontanuously loose out? or you put it somewhere and forgot to pick it up?
My stylus actually "snap" into the slot.
Really confused

| Hi Wilsonch_98. Do you have a T665C? Cause most of us after a while see that the stylus losses the grip on the Clie. | |

| Well, the Stylus usually falls out when it gets caught on your pocket, or on an edge of your palm pouch when you pull it out. The Stylus on the TG50 is as you know on the bottom, and that is bound to happen. I wish Sony would have put it on top like normal.  | |
