Has anyone bought a stylus off ebay or know of somewhere else where I could buy a more solid stylus? I find the plastic on stylus that came with to be rather bendy and hard to write with and I'm looking for something with a stronger plastic. I don't want one of those stylus pens or something like that because I want it to still fit in my topaz.
yeah
Yeah, I want the same too, please help us...
Use a pen / pencil. Put electrical tape over the ball / graphite.

Do anyone see the silicone case of XDAIIs?
I think i don't need to use the keyboard. Anyone agree with me?
Yeah, the keyboard seems a bit pointless after the inital "gimick" factor, my keyboard is really loose and needs some attention, i want a good case for mine to.... Any1 got any ideas
They make a silicone case for the MDAII... might be able to "modify" this version for the PDA2K...

i don't use the keyboard, i would like to have a silicone case too...
maybe modifiyng the xdaII/2020 case....
I just bought the Brando case after using the Piel Fama case for several months. The case is very secure, holds my MDA3 in place, and still allows access to all the keys. The front flap is hard and protects the screen too. I'm quite happy with it. Maybe the Brando case would be a good alternative.

I ordered the Brando Hard Case for IIs, hope to be receive by beginning of next week :lol:
hey guys, i'm looking for a case for my BA as i purchased it brand new condition and want it to stay that way, cannot find any on ebay that are not too expensive, Also a screen protector. Do u know any good sellers who have BA accessories please? PM me,
cheers so much.
I'd imagine the screen protectors are the same for a few devices, maybe broaden the search? Or get a larger size and cut to fit. I had a few old Palm ones that I cut to fit on my BA.
Probably a similar thing for cases.
how did you cut them precise? is there a method and utensils used to do this best? When i have a spare digitizer its easy as i can trade around it, but how to do it and cut on an existing screen, how to measure it out? is there any tuts on this?
I just measured the sixe of the BA display with a ruler, and cut the difference off the slightly larger protector. No science or fancy tools, a ruler a pencil and a pair of scissors!
Do have a look on ebay. I got 2 Diamond mirrored protectors for 99 pence delivered. Quality is good, still using my first one 6 months later with no plans to change yet!
Awesome, I just got some Mirror ones off eBay too and cut for my BA and Elf.
Still need a case though, damn hard to find. Has to be clear plastic or silicone.
cheers.
I think you'll struggle with a plastic or silicone case for the BA due to it's slide design. Can't see a plastic case as it'll need to slide too!
Personally I think a belt case or a slip case would be best, ie something you put your BA into and remove when in use.
yea thanks, I got some more mirrored protectors to cut up, and no luck on a case, I will be looking for a pouch if anyone knows a model that actually fits the bigazz pda!
I ended up finding an awesome case for my BA, it is a leather booklet case I purchased online. will upload pics soon when i charge my camera!
i think you will still get dings when u drop it while using..
some notorious ppl i know (not to mention who), they will knock your mobile off ur handphone while you are using.. LOL.. on purpose but they will act like they accidentally tripped..

I was thinking of attaching a tip on the opposite end of the scribe pen so that I can turn it backwards and use it as a touchscreen stylus. Any suggestions as to what would be the best item to use. I know on the ones I have seen in the stores the tip has a spongy bounce to them but the are a rubber material.
Capacitive rubber comes in sheets or tubing. There's also capcitive foam, but it won't be as durable.
The trick is the adhesive, you need to male sure enough of the material touches the aluminum pen.
Or maybe plastic film protector for the screen, which seems to conduct electricity.
Thanks for the info. It is too bad they didn't fix the other end of the pen to be used as a regular stylus. If I find something that works I will post back here with it.
I'm also looking for such a conductive rubber thing for the other end of the pen. I think a ideal solution would be a conductiv rubber tip or something similar which can be pulled over the end of the pen and sits tight (could easily be removed for battery changes). Unfortunately I haven't found such a thing til now.
Someone at XDA did find a capacitive tip which they were able to stretch over the cap... I forget which user, but it was in one of the early threads. Maybe the wacom capacitive stylus would work, it looks like the proper diameter.
Two suggestions
I have 3 (edit) suggestions
1. Buy a cheap stylus, cut off the capacitive head and afix it to the top of the HTC pen. I found these at $2.60 for three. You have 3 tries to get it right.

2. Ideally, if you can find a metal cap with a capacitive head that fits over the HTC Pen, you would have an elegant solution. If something like this fit, it would be great.

I found this too: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1004382302/more-real-stylus-cap
edit #3. this just in... What about this touch tip? http://store01.prostores.com/servlet/truetip/Detail?no=48 - (edit #2) NOPE these are NOT capacitive caps. sorry
Maybe I'll experiment with my back up fujitsu pen.
hmmmm
From the TrueTip website...
*TrueTip styli currently only work on resistive (pressure sensitive) touch screen devices.
Our styli do not work on an iPhone, Droid or similar conductive touch screen devices.
We hope to have a stylus solution for these devices soon - Please check back!*
I have one of the 2-in-1 pens fory iPad and they do work... The problem is that you would be carrying two pens for your device, which is what this thread is trying to solve.
I briefly read that the Sharpie marker caps seem to fit the Scribe pen. They make a metal version of that marker, but then you're back to metal on glasss... But would probably be easier to wrap with plastic film.

I am not sure I explained myself well. I meant if it fits, take the stylus cap off the 2 in 1 and put it on the flyer pen. Then you will be carrying one stylus that serves both functions.
HTC Flyer / Tapatalk
Ok. So I should probably clarify, my pen 2-in-1 is the push button type which allows the tipto be retracted.
I like the kickstart product... In your post.
Finally received my Sikai case that I ordered from Ebay.
To my surprise, they have added the scribe pen holder!
I was worried about the holes for the speaker being too small.
However, it doesn't affect the volume of the speaker at all (the Jetstream is so loud anyway).
BTW, I am using Skinnomi screen protector, it is so good. So much better than Zagg. The surface is not sticky and tacky like Zagg at all.
Here are some pics.
Where did you get the pen clip?
I took it out from one of my pen. took a while a stretch it and get it on.
So how is it holding up? Looks alot like the Acer A500 case. After a couple of days it stretched out just enough that the tablet would slip down so the bottom of the screen got covered as wel as the camera.
it is still great!! At first, I didn't wrap it tightly and it did exactly like you said.
After a while, the case got a bit bigger because of the thickness of the tablet.
However, after I tighten the thing holding it, it's perfect now.
It's even more secure than before after the break-in period.
What do you mean by "tightening"? How do you do that?
Where did you get it from? Can you post a link?
Thanks
It looks like it would be uncomfortable to hold with the sides the way they are. Is it?
Stylus holder... FAIL....
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to stitch some elastic to the side of a case and call it functional.
The case/folio manufactures need to INTEGRATE the stylus holder not tack it on like a cheap afterthought!
Maybe if someone put a big fat crAPPLE on the back of the JetStream someone would make a decent case for it.
I have 4 cases now... they all suck in one way or another.
Rant over...

It seems so simple.
A simple plastic clip with an adhesive back so I could clip my pen top edge of the screen (where the HTC logo is) when I'm not using it.
Would be SO helpful yet no one makes one. HTC are you listening? How hard would it be to include this with the tablet? Or how about with the pen you charge a fortune for?
I am going to look around. I bet something like this exists for holding a pen to a dry erase board or something and I can adapt it to the EVO.
Have an idea.
Think I'll just get a simple piece of black leather, cut a small strip, wrap it around my pen for fit and stick the ends to a small piece of double-sided foam tape. then just stick it to the top front of my View (where the HTC is) and presto, pen holder.
Or even easier, get a long thin strip of velcro and stick it along the top front of the tablet, then take a long strip of the soft fuzzy side and stick it to my pen. That should hold it pretty well while I'm typing on the tablet.
Another solution I have found is to add a cap with a clip to the back of the pen (a sharpie cap fits perfectly). Then attach this to a tether that fits into the headphone jack (many capacitive styli come with this tether). The pen dangles a bit, but what the heck, it is safely attached.

Thanks. Yes, I thought of this as well but i hate the dangling pen part. Will post photos of whatever I come up with.
Not sure if this helps you in your search. I use a clip from a 2 dollar in line air blower or a pencil tire pressure gauge … fits the pen perfect.
Here’s a pic http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5220128/clip1.jpg
I have my flyer in a Blurex case and the pen snaps onto the closing latch.
I could have gotten a case with a pen holder. The problem is that I use the note app to do some.pretty hardcore thumb typing as I'm on the phone. In order to fly the tablet has to be comfortable in my hands. This means no bulky case so I just have a simple protective case on the back and no pen holder.

Thanks for the lead on that. I want a black one and it seems they are selling every possible color except black. Oh well.
In the meantime I've come up with a simple solution that has the benefit of not adding thickness to my tablet when I put it in it's sleave or in my pocket.
It is just simply some velcro tape applied as show in the photos. Works a charm.
Thanks Kudzus for your idea of the tire gauge pen clip. It works perfect for me. Thanks!
It didn't scratch the finish off your pen like one of the other members stated?
